Not to take the gloss away from Shon3x's efforts but found this just uploaded on youtube : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YoIyv1ZcKRY

Can't wait , cheers for grabbing it when you did

Lmao , I was listening to it , at one point they said AVB is no better than Steve Mclaren . They're paid to be controversial , so more people will listen in . They're opinions actually mattering though - futile .

Still half an hour for an unlikely CTV stream, 45 for an SSN stream.Leaves some time for searching

Too early to say , we'll get a better idea after the transfer window closes . More midfield signings without anyone going out will only prove to be deterrent for Josh's chances . He did say at the end of season interviews that if he wasn't getting enough playing time this season, might think of heading out on loan come January , much as he would like to stay and play in his preferred position further up the midfield .

Villas Boas interview on SSN at 730 PM

Too bad, this one isn't pixelated . Getting back to my ginger fix now :eyebrows:

http://magictv.co/ - Scroll up above to the top and hit Stream 5 . Nothing too significant yet , supporter opinions around the Bridge and a quick chat with Ray Wilkins who said his only concern was how the senior player would take to him . Its the typical coverage of a news story , likely to go all day long with updates as they come. There's Venus Williams and a 40 year old asian woman playing under the roof with rain everywhere else . I'd rather take our ginger bearded manager .

Stream 5 , watching it right now

Sky Sports News on right now : http://magictv.co/ Stream 5

The official website has Paul Clements and Michael Emenalo listed as Assistant FIrst Team Coaches . http://www.chelseafc.com/page/TheManagementIndex/0,,10268,00.html Come game-time , PC was the only was doing the assisting . Although Emenalo had his work cut out pre-match with the opposition-scouting reports. What AVB did hah. Villas-Boas profile already up as well .

Isn't Paul Clement higher up on the totem pole ? Comes off as the guy who liasons between the team and the manager, always had his notepad out during substitutions in games and such . Seemed like the Clarke to Mourinho with Carlo to me .

I won't lie , I've just about hit the replay button on that 1 minute interview , 5 times already

There are no false illusions or mind-games going on about him - like Guardiola in a way , about as straight up as they come . That 15 minute video interview where he switches from Portugese to English to speak to the Telegraph reporter had me sold .

Interview teaser already out on the ChelseaTV youtube channel :

itv got that from http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport2/hi/football/13877227.stm? Video interview. Jimmy doing his coaching badges as well , good luck to him

:goodpost: Sums up the optimism sorrounding Villshhj-Boashjj nicely . He won't leave anything to doubt with the youthful exuberance he brings and the previous experience of doing things in a certain way -which has worked plenty .

Also probably the only person who gives Immigrations a headache with the number of players he goes through. :toke:

Between rainy Wimbledon and our club taking an age to go through the motions , I have to keep myself awake

LMAO . The RAWK forum makes for an entertaining read . Some gems : One better than the other :champions:

Doubt Roman was tapping the table and demanding Torres to be surefire starter when talking to AVB and offering the job . Nobody in the media or none of us know who the transfer targets are , besides the obvious bids that get put out and with AVB going in , there will be a clear deliberation among the management and board on assessing the current team squad and drawing up a list of who's needed . Given the fact that AVB is meticulous in his hard-on for detail , scouring reports / match preparation and otherwise , I'd say he's going to be very very hands on as a young manager hungry to prove himself on the biggest stage . The Lukaku transfer might not even happen if Villas-Boas says he isn't needed . He will have meetings with the youth managers in looking up files on current academy prospects including Josh . There's a whole process of due diligence that will happen , that the press naively avoids while lazily writing up articles of a ' bumper war-chest ' yada yada . The pre-season will give AVB a better understanding on what the first team should be , the tweaks needed within the squad to make the team better and the transfers to be made , both in and out to make better the squad overall. Everything before then is just noise to me , nobody in the media has a clue of the inner-workings and decisions made at CFC and even our own simplistic perceptions can be way off the mark many times .

I'd question any news source coming out with reports like that at a time when no media has presumably had any contact with Villas-Boas , or indeed any of the backroom staff of the club who are notoriously media-shy in avoiding any papers. He isn't even unveiled yet, I'm sure there will be a few questions from the press later addressing plenty of areas , including present players and new signings.

We see what we like to see :eyebrows:
