Avram Grant sent Death Threat

[carrickature]

From BBC:

Anti-Semitic death threats have been sent to Chelsea football boss Avram Grant in a package containing a white powder, police said.

A note addressed to Grant was opened by a member of staff and found to contain anti-Jewish insults and claims that the powder was lethal.
A police source said it used the words: "When you open this letter you will die a very slow and painful death."
The powder was analysed by specialists and found to be harmless, police said.
The letter also included threats to the manager's wife Tzofit, a well-know personality in Israel.
A spokesman for Surrey Police said: "We were called to Chelsea's training ground at Cobham at 12.15pm yesterday after they received a suspicious package."
The club's training ground at Cobham, Surrey was sealed off while investigations were carried out.
Detectives are continuing to try to identify the source of the package. Chelsea Football Club has so far made no comment.

thats just wrong, theres absolutely no justification of doing something like this.

Bizarre, really.

 

[Shanks]

In his interviews, he actually comes across as pretty decent.
I like him, gives honest answers, and has quietly gone about doing his job, and it must be difficult following the 'special' one!!!

 

[LSUY]

The really sad thing is it's probably a Chelsea fan doing it.

 

[Bill_Oddie]

It called him a 'back-stabbing Jewish bastard', not one bit of which I understand.

Did he turn his back on a former side (Pompey? :shrug: ).

Completely wrong, no matter what. Poor bloke. My Dad received death threats a few years back and it's really unpleasant. Sick fucks.

At least nobody can point fingers at any spurs fans on this one.

What a pathetic cowardly thing to do though. Some people really should be round up and superglued to the top of a submarine.

 

[Kendall]

I like Grant

 

[Marty]

It's probably a twisted Chavski fan.

'back-stabbing' for the way Mourinho walked out of the club.

Sad, sad people.

 

[Defsta]

That's just so wrong :evil:

 

[Bill_Oddie]

It's probably a twisted Chavski fan.

'back-stabbing' for the way Mourinho walked out of the club.

Sad, sad people.

Ah, right. Still doesn't make much sense (why Grant and not Roman?) but then I've never really been able to understand Chelsea fans at the best of times. The anti-Semitism certainly fits with an 'inside job', so to speak.

 

[idlepete]

Technically, you can't kill (or threaten to kill) the undead. So besides being pathetic, it's obtuse.

:lol:

 

[chinaman]

Can't understand why except for racial hatred. Grant has not upset anybody in any way. If someone deserves death threat, it should have been the Ruskie for stealing billions from the Russian masses and continuously employing unfair means to tap up other football clubs' assets.

 

[paul_1979yid]

Out of order. Even for a Chelsea man

 

[sheringmann]

"A backstabbing jewish bastard"

Could it be a Spurs-fan? Calling him that because he manages Chelsea against "jewish" Spurs?

 

[Rocksuperstar]

isn't it odd - out of all the premiership managers, they picked the guy who keeps the lowest profile, in charge of one of the biggest clubs :shrug:

an random, deranged Maccabi Haifa fan maybe? :shrug:

 

[Yid-ol]

maybe it is lampard trying to keep his place in the squad by thretoning grant :shrug:

really stupid thing for someone to do, and never seen anything done or said by grant that has made him seem like a twat, so cant see why anyone would do this to him.. hope they can find out who did it quickly and stop anymroe being done

 

[orkneyspur]

Mourinino. :shrug:

As an aside, do you think that AG secretly wants us to win, you know, for like, those reasons.

 

[Stoof]

Grant: My wife is Tzofit.
Lampard: Alright gaffer, no need to show off.
Grant: But she is ... Tzofit.
Lampard: You're a ****.
Grant: Right, bench for you.

So that's what happened ...

 

[Rocksuperstar]

I heard it went slightly differently

"Ere, boss - is that your wife? Tzofit?"
"Yes she is and you're Tzofat - leave that pie alone, tubby, yer dropped!"

I don't think it's odd. Lots of people hate Jews and this has been quite a theme in history - this was pretty much inevitable in my opinion.
