One notable difference between Villas-Boas & Mourinho will probably be his interviews and conferences.. I bet Justin will be happy about that

I always back Roddick as a wildcard. Not that he ever returns by backing (though he came close last time!).. So ya know :champions:

What announcement?

Agreed, that's what I mean. Even if he has a trophyless season, as long as progress can be seen, that should be enough to satisfy the board we are heading in the right direction.

By long-term I mean allowed the time to achieve the goals laid out for him. Yeah, it's that ^

Yeah, the history of this club would work against us hoping he's a long-term solution. Hopefully Roman's had a change of hear though & decided to stick with this one for the full length of his contract.

Understand your concerns. However such risks could pay massive dividends for us instead of him. He's a very promising young manager & we should take such risks if we do really want to build a long term future. Yes it could go wrong like you're saying but it could go the other way. Arsene Wenger only spent 1 year at the club he was at before Arsenal when they hired him and look what he's done for them (minus the last 7-8years).

I've learnt not to be so confident with such things now to be honest But something like that does make me think otherwise

Curious. Chelsea just uploaded this, via Blues News: they didn't do that when strong speculation linked us to Harry or even Guus. Could be a sign..

LOL

And younger than Hilario

I really thought Delac was tipped to be the next Petr Cech for us..

Haha indeed! Wonder if they'll beat that record..

Striker ^

Can't believe I missed this. But John Isner & Nicolas Mahut have been drawn against each other again.. For those of you who don't remember..

LMAO talk about arrogant. I like his style though

I love this Russell fella! He knows he's likely to lose, but still giving it a right go! Go on dude :champions:

garbosj Ian McGarry #FCP gave permission for #CFC to speak to AVB on Saturday. AVB met Abramovich. AVB insisted he wont sign until agreement between clubs. garbosj Ian McGarry #FCP seeking full £13.2m release clause for AVB and assurances #CFC will not poach their best players as Mourinho did in 2004.

Nadal looking quite shaky at the moment! 1st and it's 4-4 vs Russell!

From the way Porto have worded their statement and how it's being reported the offer was "too low", shows negotiations are taking place. Or else they'd have denied any approach outright. Makes me think he's now the #1 target.

Looks like both will be wrapped up soon then..

LMAO too true. Especially when the club themselves don't report anything.. Love the tension of that

& he is?
