Live by the blade, die by the blade

Sodding hell

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

Oh well, if we do lose groundstaff to Chelsea then I'm sure any replacements we get in will, once again, prove themselves capable of doing a much better job.

 

[Guy Fawkes]

Maybe they are making room for Potter and the rest of his ex-brighton staff once they are relieved of their current duties, and put on gardening leave?

They lived by the sward. They died by the sward.

Fail! As I had to Google it :

 

[A mex eyecan]

oh that’s good, I’ve been trying to find someone to rip up my old lawn and replace it with a nice new one.

 

[Psychobilly freakout]

Conte will be on gardening leave soon

 

[banjo]

Is it permanent or just a lawn deal?

 

[portslade seagull]

Well they had to sack someone for the poor team performances

 

[Bold Seagull]

People just keep raking up all this Chelsea stuff.

I could understand it if our ground staff are tempted to move there.

I just hope they realise the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

 

[el punal]

I wonder what Boehly's plans are for replacing them?

Chelsea part company with their head groundsman

Chelsea have parted company with long-serving head groundsman Jason Griffin plus his assistant and son Reisse. Griffin has been at Stamford Bridge for over 30 years.

Obviously they couldn’t cut the mustard.

Oh my days that is a "weakfish" joke

 

[PeterT]

Bit of a turf war there, it seems. The seeds of doubt were sown some time ago.

 

[FloatLeft]

That’s not a fairway to treat anyone

 

[SUIYHP]

What a pain in the grass.
