OK, a non-Charlton related piece but if you haven't already seen it, I strongly urge you to read this blog from Dan Walker about Avram Grant - a wonderful piece of writing IMO and an extraordinarily moving story. http://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/danwalker/2012/05/avram_grants_story_is_an.html I've always wondered at Grant's sense of calm, even when under serious pressure and I guess it must stem from the legacy of what his family's been through. Ye gods...
Good read. Always felt sorry for the bloke, when he got Chelsea to the Champions League Final it was player power, now Di Matteo's done it it's because he's a great coach.
