The Next Manager?

[CHOULO19 24,332]

I was actually going to mention this, but I thought the differences between AVB and Mourinho are pretty clear...and I seriously doubt Roman actually wants the manager merry-go-round to continue in this vein, especially when you consider Benitez has the worst record ever and he's still in a job...

I'm not convinced Roman is bothered by all the managerial sackings. It may be to him the reason of the club's success as some members were arguing when we sacked RDM.

there is a very real possibility that Jose would want a new adventure. City or P$G offer something fresh for him to take up ...build a new team there.

If Lampard re-signs in the next few weeks, you can bet Jose is coming back....

He mentioned in his press conference before the United match that his next destination is England after Real Madrid. PSG are out of the equation now!!

Hiddink talks about Anzhi and more...

The 66-year-old's contract is set to expire in the summer, but he has indicated that he would be willing to stay on longer.

"Let's see what happens until the end of the season," he said. "It looks pretty good right now. I'm having fun here."

Now with Pep and Klopp not coming, Mou would be best choice...

I thought he said he was retiring after Anzhi?

He has a history of saying one thing and then doing another. Don't think it is set in stone that he will retire come the summer just yet.

Hmmm... Jose Mourinho. He's apparently coming back to England after Real Madrid. He wont be going to Tottenham or Arsenal, he wont be going to Man Utd now by the looks of it after all i've heard in the last week and i was also hearing that the Man City hierarchy are big fans of Barcelona and absolutely hate Jose Mourinho.

Jose's wife and daughter have moved to within 5 minutes of SB in the last few months as his daughter is doing college here. Not just in London or England but 5 minutes from Stamford Bridge and Chelsea only have a manager until the end of the season.

Even though it still only feels like a pipe dream that he will come back, it does look very much like it really is going to happen. Seriously... who else really is there? There can be lists of 100 people but we all know that there's only 1 man.

Moyes puts Everton contract talks on hold to open the door to Chelsea job

If this is true, it's terrifying.

Roman can't continue on doing what he's doing with managers for very obvious reasons. Look at it this way: he's sacked so many managers, we're actually considering to rehire a sacked manager...we've gone full circle. It was only a matter of time really, because Roman is going through managers like they're free cupcakes, and there are only a select number of managers who are capable to handle a club of our calibre. Roman is fast running our of options, who is there to chose from?

Eventually we'll just have two categories of manager: those that Roman has already sacked and those that are too scared of him to take the job (Pep). We'll be stuck hiring mediocre managers (Rafa) and Roman continuing to fire them, year in, year out. By the summer, we'll have gone through 3 managers in a year. I don't know about you, but I kind of laughed along with my non-Chelsea mates when they'd joke about how many managers we've gone through. But now? Now it's only embarrassing.

You said yourself that he told AVB he'd be given the time and space to shape the squad, he wouldn't have said that if he didn't, on some level, want stability as well.

Moyes is top choice if we don't get Jose for me

MOYES. JOSE. PELLEGRINI. ANY OF THOSE 3 AND I WILL JIZZ.

I personally feel though that Manchester City would be best for Moyes. I genuinely could see him creating a proper legacy there which would (unfortunately) elevate Manchester City quite a bit higher than us in terms of 'big clubs' within a decade.

Pellegrini is just another average manager like Rafa just with less trophies. There are far too many managers like Juande Ramos, Bisela, Hecking, Slomka that once had a succesful spell and now they got a reputation they do not necessarily deserve cos no one knows which factors played a role in their success back then. Doubt we will actually take him, but with our board you never know. I'd have Jose over anyone, Moyes 2nd and a former player like Poyet third as we will never get Kloppo and I am sure he would flop here, cos his ideas would need long to bear fruit, too long for Roman at least.

BUT HE ISN'T HATED BY US! And that is a huge factor...

[Hutcho 8,443]

Jose is the dream and the return of the special one would be for want of a better word, "special". But Moyes would be great as well. Tbh, anyone who is not rafa will get my full backing and i can't wait for the day rafa leaves the club...
