Last updated : 09 February 2009 By Paul Lagan
Well, well, well, Scolari is sacked.
As you can see from the vote on the front page, the question of the day is Should Scolari be sacked?
Now it's clear that Roman and Peter Kenyon have read their daily chelsea-mad, as I know they do, and finally decided to act on the advice of the fans.
I'll check to see if they actually voted.

The club have issued a typical statement thanking Scolari for his efforts - well can't have being making much of an effort then otherwise he would still be there.
Uncle Ray Wilkins will be in charge for now until the shirts upstairs decide what to do next.
The clear front runner will of course be Martin O'Neil.
However the Aston Villa boss is a man of intergrity and will want to see out this season and be assured of the amount of available cash for next season.
Chelsea face a difficult three matches with Watford up next in the FA Cup followed by a trip to Aston Villa and then they entertain Juventus in the Champions League.

That Chelsea statement in full: "The Chelsea board would like to place on record our gratitude for his time as manager.

Felipe has brought many positives to the club since he joined and we all feel a sense of sadness that our relationship has ended so soon.

Unfortunately the results and performances of the team appeared to be deteriorating at a key time in the season.

In order to maintain a challenge for the trophies we are still competing for we felt the only option was to make the change now.

The search for a new manager has already started and we hope to have someone in place as soon as possible.

While that continues Assistant Coach Ray Wilkins will take charge of the team on a temporary basis."

Who would you like to see as manager or even sacked next?
