Grant wasn't Special - neither are Blues
CHELSEA HAVE NO CLASS


SPORT of the WORLD COMMENT


FOR all the money swilling around in Chelsea's coffers, the one commodity they cannot buy is class. Everybody in football knew that Avram Grant was no Special One. He was merely a decent and dignified man who deserved to be treated with a modicum of respect.

But Chelsea don't seem to do respect — they do only heartless, cruel and vicious. Grant was thrown into the middle of a crisis when Jose Mourinho was axed. But not only did he steady the ship, he took Chelsea to within a penalty kick of the Champions League crown. So how is he rewarded? With betrayal and a knife in the back. The sickening thing is, we expected nothing less from Chelsea.
