The Hiddink Thread

[Fernando 6,585]

I think is the height of arrogance to think you can show no ambition and not be overtaken by any team in this league. But you tell me what you think the board's aim was this season? Top four maybe? That isn't the right message to send.

City when they won the league they didn't spend much the next season.

They couldn't retain the league, but surely didn't fall apart.

Drogba has come in to distract some people. It's a PR move and nothing more in my opinion but it might lift the mood a bit and that's a good thing.

Does anyone really think Drogba is top coach material because I'm not convinced. Great player but I've never thought he would move into that side of the game so it just seems to be a way to placate some people. Remember when we got Rafa and he bought in Zenden for no reason whatsoever? This is a better version of that apparently.

The bigger issue is that this squad needs about £60 million worth of improvements done to it (it actually needed that in Summer but hey ho). Whose targets are we chasing? Hiddink's?

Basically the club is in disarray and doesn't have a scooby. But Didier is back so let's all just enjoy that.

Drogba is a natural leader and very well respected by the playing squad. Comparing him to Zenden is quite insulting. He's proper Chels.

It's only insulting if you're looking to be insulted and want to misconstrue what I said. I compared their appointments, not their character, playing styles or anything else.

And yes I agree he's a natural leader, but I asked if he was coaching material. There have been many great leaders throughout our history and football in general but coaching requires more than that.

But thank you for explaining that Drogba is proper Chels. It's not like there's a banner pointing that out to me directly in front of my seats.

you can hear the sound of tumbleweed as Mark Stein is being googled [emoji6]

Thats some superiority complex right there. I bet even 20 year old die hard - i go to every game - fans do not know him. He didnt even come of the bench his last years here in the nineties [emoji23].

Anyway, nice subtle dig on the foreigners fans. [emoji106][emoji123]. There is only one place to be, I guess.

No superiority...

My memory is normally not that great remembering players but for some reason he stood out for scoring 7 on the trot when we were in relegation battle.

However, nothing wrong with googling players or records if you are not sure....everybody does it hence the comment

That's some victimhood complex you've got going on if you're looking for ways to be offended. Not sure what it's got to do with foreign fans either, if anything it was a dig at people who don't know the history of the club but even then you'd probably pull a muscle trying to look for offence.

Everyone seems to be on tenterhooks looking for something to be upset about, unless it's the fans at the game in which case you can call them deluded, insane or a fucking disgrace apparently. Funny old time.

Dude, just look at pretty much every post you made. Im not disturbed by the fans at the bridge whatsoever. I do see you making passive aggressive comments on here the last days a lot - all with the tongue in cheeck/us real fans - outlook.

Anyway, no problem if you feel Chels is only for residents. I disagree.

Residents of what? Chelsea? The borough? Most people at the Bridge travel in from all around the country.

But what I've seen is people slag them off, question their mentality, question their right to voice their disproval and not once have I said anything about their nationality. We have great international fans and have done ever since I've been going.

For me it's not about that so don't go trying to make out it is. Let's see your posts where you've defended supporters from people slagged off on here. I've done it.

Chelsea spell offers Guus Hiddink the opportunity for a perfect farewell

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.

The squad is good enough for a CL position. Only cheque book fans like you would insist on spending a hundred million quid every season. There's something called smart purchases and the youth team to provide players.

By the way, you better get used to the club spending much less that your desired 100 million quid for the foreseeable future as ground development has taken priority.

Cheque book fan? I use a credit card to pay for my season tickets but....wait, I see what you've done there. That's more like it.

We spend one third of what Cityy did in the summer and didn't make any world class additions to the squad. Any pundit will tell you that's not good enough to retain the league, even you say that.

I'm not asking for a specific amount simply a show of ambition and competence in our summer purchases.

Now try not to use insults because we're all Chelsea supporters aren't we?

The club is operating with a stricter Budget than Man City and won't be making world class buys every summer.

Using Man City's spending as a benchmark is BS.

I am fed up of fans like you who insist on waving the cheque book every summer. So what if we don't win the title every season?

None of that changes the fact that we conceded the title in the summer when we allowed our rivals to strengthen without attempting to match them and even selling them key assets in Cech's case.

You can't are for progress and then not back it up with money. But I'm sorry you're getting fed up of fans like me. That makes me awfully sad this close to Christmas. Can we not make up?

There used to be a video on Youtube where he was giving a speech in Chukotka - just looked so I could link it here but it's gone.

He was speaking in Russian, he sounded extremely nervous and yeah, his voice was nothing like I expected - a bit high pitched and squeaky.
