Lunatics in charge of the asylum..

Chelsea announce the shock dismissal of manager Luiz Felipe Scolari with immediate effect, after just seven months in charge. The club's website revealed the dramatic move had been made "to maintain a challenge for the trophies we are still competing for".
World Cup winner Scolari had only been in the job since June 2008, when he became Chelsea's third boss in a year.

So, despite Chelski being currently fourth in the Premier League, and still in both Champions League and FA Cup competitions, Luiz Felipe Scolari has been shown the exit from Stamford Bridge, before the end of the current season.
The same Luiz Felipe Scolari, who won the World Cup with Brazil in 2002, and was once considered a potential England manager in 2006.
And if you think that sounds incredulous, consider this: one of the candidates on the shortlist for the next Chelski manager is Avram Grant - the same Avram Grant whose sacking by Chelski owner Roman Abramovich set in motion the sequence of events that led to Scolari's appointment last June.

You couldn't make this up.....Chelski doesn't need a new manager, they need a Psychotherapist!

Seriously though, as I stated after Grant's departure, following in Jose Mourinho's footsteps is a tall order...it still is.
But until Abramovich accepts that sometimes you have to bide your time to get results, then Scolari won't be the last Chelski manager making an abrupt exit.


Meanwhile down on the English coast, Portsmouth have dismissed manager Tony Adams and first-team coach John Metgod following a run of poor results.
A club statement said it was a "difficult decision", taken after Pompey won just two out of 16 Premier League games since Adams took charge.

Obviously I feel for Adams, but he's been through worse than this and I'm sure he'll bounce back - nothing will dim those fond memories of the Arsenal colossus that was Tony Adams in his heyday.
Adams stated he was surprised to have been sacked as manager of Portsmouth. In all honesty, he took over a sinking ship after being forced to sell two of Pompey's best players Lassana Diarra and Jermain Defoe during the January transfer window and he didn't have any real money to spend.

When you also consider the recent events involving Manchester City's outrageous (and futile) £100m bid for AC Milan's Kaká, it feels as if the lunatics are in charge of the asylum that masquerades as our Premier League.....
