Scolari sacked as Chelsea Manager

Well I have to say that this is a bit of a surprise. At the beginning of the day, we were expecting Tony Adams to be sacked as Portsmouth Manager and that happened as predicted, but this came out of the blue, literally and figuratively. Ray Wilkins will take temporary charge as the search begins for a new manager.

BBC News and Sky Sports News are all over the story as is Setanta Sports News.
