Chelsea: 2nd not good enough

Chelsea chairman Bruce Buck believes the team has had a great season, but this could still not be enough for Israeli Avram Grant to keep his job after the chairman revealed that second 'is just not good enough'.

"We have had a great season," said Buck. "In the four competitions we were in, we were runners up in three of them.

"But we have very high expectations at Chelsea and a couple of second place finishes is just not good enough for us.

"Although we never would have thought in September when Jose Mourinho left that we would be able to make it into a Champions League Final - as we did, and that is fantastic - Chelsea is here to win trophies so, although it was an excellent season, we are still disappointed."
