Avram Grant is being urged to take legal action against Chelsea, it has been revealed.
The 53-year-old is still hoping to settle the matter before proceedings, but is being strongly advised that taking Chelsea to court is the only way of resolving the case.
"Avram Grant did not check the contract before he signed it. He believed because of his close personal friendship with the owner that if anything happened over the course of his time with Chelsea he would not be screwed," the source said. "And so he also did not ask his lawyers to read it. Avram does not want this to go to court, but he may have little choice."
