He was to be the glass-chewing “bad cop” to shuffling goon Avram Grant’s “good cop”, but it appears that Chelsea don’t want one without the other and so, despite claiming that his job was safe, Henk Ten Cate has been shown the door by the Chelsea’s number one suit, Peter Kenyon.
“Ten Cate told a Dutch magazine this week that he had received personal assurances from chief executive Peter Kenyon that Grant’s sacking would not jeopardise his future.
‘I’d rather go on that than all those newspaper reports, said the former Ajax boss on Tuesday.” (Daily Mail)
Ten Cate apparently feels that he has been stabbed in the back, but with his reputation for aggressive hectoring, is anyone sad to see him go?
