Chelsea boss sent death threats

Avram Grant was sent a package containing a mysterious powder
Anti-Semitic death threats have been sent to Chelsea football boss Avram Grant in a package containing a mysterious powder, police said.
The football club's training ground at Cobham, Surrey, was sealed off after a member of staff opened the package.

A note addressed to 52-year-old Grant contained anti-Jewish insults and claimed 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 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 white powder was analysed by specialists from Surrey Fire Service and found to be harmless, police said.

Detectives are continuing their investigations to identify the source of the package.

Chelsea Football Club has so far made no comment. "yikes"

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

The club's training ground at Cobham, Surrey, was sealed off after a member of staff opened the package on Tuesday. A note addressed to Grant claimed the powder was lethal.

A police source confirmed that the note to the 52-year-old Israeli, included the words: "You are a back-stabbing Jewish b******. When you open this letter you will die a very slow and painful death."

Death threats of a sexual nature were also made to Grant's wife, Tzofit, a well-known television personality in the couple's native 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.

"A white powder contained within the package was analysed by specialists from Surrey Fire Service and was determined to be a harmless substance.

"Detectives are continuing investigations to identify the source of the package."

At the time Grant and his side were in Athens ahead of their UEFA Champions League 0-0 draw with Olympiacos.

The Blues said in a statement: "A suspect package was sent to Chelsea's training ground yesterday.

"The required procedure for dealing with such matters was immediately activated and the police and other services were called to handle the situation.

"A harmless substance was discovered. The matter is still being investigated."

Was it the Muslims or the Nazis? Either way, he's still a b@stard!

When the players heard there was an envelope of white powder there was a rush to test the quality!
