Whilst another tweet suggests Chelsea have missed a golden opportunity:
I’m afraid you missed a trick there Chelsea. You need to as a club give people and young talent a chance, what worse can you do?

But, in reality, some believe the opportunity was too good to turn down:
Will be missed @ChelseaFC but great opportunity!

Here at Vital Chelsea, we’re disappointed Jody has gone, but with an offer to work alongside Frank, at a higher level, he couldn’t turn it down, could he?
Now we wait to see who will be appointed to fill the position left vacant by the departure of Jody.
Anyone care to take a guess?
