Ossie the King 634 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 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.

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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDN Blue 7,903 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fernando 6,585 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 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!!!

Blue Colored Sky 1,807 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/chelsea-interim-manager-guus-hiddink-7043226Would be great if Guus get more holistic job than just a first team coach Apparently he has to assess the squad and draw a blueprint moving forward. He is becoming a senior advisor of the club, something that he supposedly was offered after his first stint in 2009 but seemingly nothing came off with this.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Skipper 20,609 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 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.

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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stingray 9,441 Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
