The Hiddink Thread

[Ossie the King 634]

He could have his role as "striker coach" (or whatever it's called), why not? He don't have to be manager assistant.

He should just be hired to kick Costa up the arse constantly. That's the only coaching he needs.

It also might be pertinent that Hazard was quite close to him when he was here. Wouldn't be surprised if he was brought on just to cheer little precious up, or maybe just keep him away from the mince pies. £200k a week doesn't seem to be enough motivation for him to maintain a professional attitude for all 12 months so Drogba can be the world's most over-qualified personal trainer.

Yeah, may be. I just want club to find a role for Drogba which wouldn't depend on coach. You know, so he can stay whatever happens with our managers.

When you look at how United had the class of '92, I think maybe that vintage of Lamps, JT, Drogba and even Cech could've been something similar.

Frank is a very intelligent man so I'd love to see him move into an upstairs role if he felt he could do it, and JT has always harboured ambitions to be a coach. Think that's a bit of a pipe dream though.

No unveiling press conference ?

Mark of respect to José perhaps, these aren't ideal times to be boasting a change of manager. I'm sure Hiddink also would rather get on with it rather than dealing with the media, who I'm sure will relish the fact they'll have a straight talking manager this time

That would be the future laid out by whom exactly?

Like it or not, Jose was the only one with a plan going forward. He was the one who wanted a defensive backbone of Zouma and Stones. What did he get? Papy Djofimfmlfl. He wanted competition in midfield, the club didn't back him. He wanted us not to sell a great goalkeeper to a direct rival. The club couldn't even back him on that.

We were perfectly primed to kick on from last season. We didn't. How is that his fault alone?

So because of the summer transfer window it's exactly why we was one point above relegation zone in December?

Oh wow it all makes sense now!!!

If a club shows no ambition to move forward, don't be surprised that they drop back.

Wow you solved the problem as to why we are in 16 by December.

I would have never known.

Good job!

You're a funny bloke. Maybe we should try and sign Mark Stein again. Opinions?

By not spending a hundred million quid means the club is dropping back? No wonder some call us blues fans plastics....

not improving the squad is dropping back in any competitive league. As for the plastic comment, come on mate. Really? Leave that to the Arsenal and Liverpool fans, use a bit more imagination in future.
