TorontoChelsea 4,064 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 On the face of it, it seems like cynical attempt to win Chelsea fans over to him . using a former Chelsea player. Zenden has no managerial experience. However, since Benitze will only be at Chelsea for a few months, it doesn't really matter. The new manager will bring in new assistants as well.

Kieran. 6,317 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Zenden's goal vs. ManU in 2002 was the first Chelsea goal I ever saw...or maybe the second? I know that Gallas and Zenden scored in a 2-2 draw.Welcome back, Boudewijn! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Right.. So when are we appointing Zenden as our next interim manager? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Better than having Sammy Lee perhaps... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slam Dunk 1,442 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 To me, this is even stranger than the appointment of Benitez in the first place. Welcome back though, Bolo.Have we learned the fate of Steve Holland yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase 43,479 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Have we learned the fate of Steve Holland yet?I believe he's still at the club along with Eddie. No official confirmation whatsoever yet and I'm sure RB would want some assistants who is working with the club that knows the training methods, players etc to help his preparations for the upcoming matches.

Suppose they could be part of the back room staff again. Really hope Holland stays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomo 21,751 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 There hasn't even been any conformation of this on BBC or Chelsea website, the latter still says Eddie and Ste are the assistants.EDIT: yes their has my mistake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MAF 162 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Didnt Zenden work with Cruyff at Barcelona at some point? i thought he was involved in Barca's youth system.. Could be wrong though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reddish-Blue 2,517 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 Just looking at Rafa in a Chelsea kit is weird. He's suited to the colour RED not Blue.I'm just glad he's only here as an interim manager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ollie 4,400 Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 This all seems so weird and it's getting weirder. Zenden was hopeless for us but at least he was here before this era. I remember his goal against Man Utd, was a belter and a great game too. Remember a nice goal against Bolton too, a lob but he was also in that Sunderland team that humped us 3-0 like 2 years ago and he beat us with Liverpool.... Anyway this is weird, maybe we'll sign Gerrard next to help Torres. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tomo 21,751 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 If the rumours of Eddie staying is true, what role is Zenden actually playing? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kieran. 6,317 Posted November 23, 2012 Share Posted November 23, 2012 "j26terry Robbie+Eddie. I watched and learned from you both growing up. I cleaned eddies boots at 16 and had the pleasure to play and captain CFC under you both. Thankyou does'nt seem enough"Sounds like Eddie has been sacked.
