The next time you think your job sucks...
remind yourself that you aren't getting strange packages and death threats.
Anti-Semitic death threats have been sent to Chelsea boss Avram Grant in a package containing a mysterious powder, police said today. The club's training ground at Cobham, Surrey, was sealed off after a member of staff opened the package yesterday. A note addressed to Grant claimed the powder was lethal.A police source confirmed that the note to Grant, 52, 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.
Thanks to the now singular Sabo for the linkage.
