English Freak

Instead of Tiote, how about looking at Mulumbu (currently playing for West Bromwich Albion)....he seems like a good midfielder. As for the creative midfielder position, Mark Davies wouldn't be a bad option. We could get him on the cheap if Bolton get relegated (which looks a real possibility).

Agree with these points. AvB definitely is a hard worker but at his age, I don't believe he was anywhere near ready to take over the helm of Chelsea FC. He did well at FC Porto and credit to him, he built relationships with the talented youths, gave them confidence and his tactics fit the team really well. Who knows, had he decided to stay at Porto, maybe they could of shocked a few teams in the latter stages of the UCL this season! I'm not sure why Chelsea's manager, his staff & the higher management decided to keep the likes of Malouda, Kalou, Bosingwa, Mikel...because season by season, all of their respective values are on the decline. It would of been interesting to see players like Lalkovic (Wing, could add pace, trickery off the bench), Kakuta (Wing, he's raw but I feel he can be explosive once he gains confidence), Bertrand (LB, he could of played against some of the lower EPL sides, give Cole some rest for important fixtures), McEachran (Instead of persisting with Meireles, how about giving him 30-60 minutes) given a few starts this seasons...surely, they couldn't have done much worse in their respective positions. Hope we find the correct manager to lead us into the future. The only solid EPL-experienced manager who might be available is Moyes.

Hiddink is the coach of Anzhi, he's not leaving anytime soon. Van Gaal stuffed up at Bayern Munich, why would Chelsea want him as manager? As for Jose Mourinho, why would he come back, he already knows his former star players from 2004-2006 are past it.

you're the one that sounds like a plastic. Defending Frank Lampard likes he's your lover or something along those lines. Lampard was part of the reason why AvB got the sack.

Think you mean: Cech Luiz --- Cahill --- Hutch -- Bertrand Essien---------Romeu Ramires --------Mata ---------Piazon Lukaku/Sturridge.

Lol who cares. AvB was right in comparing Torres to Sheva and Kezman. He's a complete flop. Hopefully we don't see Torres in a CFC shirt at the start of next season.

If John Terry wanted money, he could of accepted Mark Hughes request for him to join Man City a few seasons back. As for Frank Lampard, he's past it. Sure, he's won us a few trophies but there comes a time when a player must realise that he's just not good enough to play 90 minutes regularly for club or country, as is the case with Frank Lampard. If he really cared for the club, he'd zip him mouth and just be happy that he's still part of the CFC first team, rather than whining about being benched. Even though I hate United, you look at Giggs and Scholes...both of them are more than happy to sit on the bench, and when called upon, they try to change or contribute to the match.

We should hire one of the experienced domestic managers. Moyes would be one of the few viable options. I would of suggested Mark Hughes, Martin O'Neill but they've only recently joined their respective clubs. Not sure if Mourinho wants to come back to Chelsea...and as for the rumours suggesting Roman wants Guardiola...I highly doubt he'd leave the best side in Europe for Chelsea...when instead, he could wait a few seasons until Fergie retires and then get the job at United.

Sacking was bound to happen. AvB will probably move to a 'smaller' team and prove his worth. He's got ability no doubt but he was never going to be ready for a club in such a mess at the very young age of 34. He was the "Right man at the wrong time".
