Or Birmingham!

Rumours are useless without sources to back them up.

LDN, source?

Yep, Porto fans not very happy on his Facebook page. They're starting anti-Chelsea groups and calling him a traitor." " Anyway, a BBC update - he's on the verge of signing. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13858858.stm

I'd presume so, yes.

I guess that's confirmed then!

I think this'll take a couple more days to be confirmed. A Friday announcement, maybe?

André Villas-Boas - FC PORTO NOTIFIED OF INTENT TO TERMINATE The FC Porto - Futebol, SAD was today notified of the intention of the coach André Villas-Boas unilaterally terminate the contract between the parties, immediately triggering the termination clause. The FC Porto - Futebol, SAD consider the employment contract is settled when the amount deposited therein.

Reports Villas Boas is to pay his own £13m release fee. Hope for his sake that job offer call from a Russian-accented man wasn't a 'gotcha'. http://twitter.com/#...136909035044865 :lol:

Porto are shrewd for putting a £13.2m release clause in a 32-year-old largely unproven coach's contract. Sometimes I guess you just know. http://twitter.com/#...133844735266818

When will Villas-Boas meet the squad for the first time? When does training start?

Hiddink reportedly going to Inter.

#CFC must now deposit 15m euros in bank account of #FCP. Once that cash transfer is confirmed Villas Boas is free to become Chelsea coach. AVB contract states that he must exercise release clause, not #CFC. The payment source is irrelevant in law but #CFC are picking up the bill http://twitter.com/#!/garbosj
