The Next Manager?

[Spike 12,049]

We should go for that chap that against all the odds won the Champions League last year, Roberto something or other....

Never heard of him.

Still think Moyes would be a better long term appointment than Hiddink...

I like Moyes, Everton playing some good football and haven't had to sell this season (yet) so doing well...

Think Moyes deserves a chance at a Big Club (no offence Shogun)

As far as I'm concerned, from the list of managers in that poll, only one man stands out...

The only man who wouldn't ever be sacked because of bad form.. the only reason why he left was because of a petty rut with Roman!

Now that they've made up, I would only welcome a fairytale return!

Yes, but could he win at Chelsea?

I imagine it would be tempting for Jose to take over the ruins of Chelsea and build a winning team once again. Imagine the adulation fans would give him game in game out after having suffered under crap managers for so long, Fat Beni drawing the shortest straw of the lot. The Bridge would be buzzing with positive energy.

The talk that Mourinho is in the past and should stay there is rubbish. He's a world class blue through and through, can't ask for much more. He would actually care, we saw what caring did for us last season. Rafa doesn't care, he has loser's mentality, it transfers onto the players.

My dream summer would be Benitez and Torres out, Mourinho in. It would give me a strong enough high to not care what other moves we would make.

Laudrup for me.

A bullshit source but I would not really rule out Hiddink's return. Right, he said something but the same can be said before his Anzhi spell.

I was all for phasing out the old guard and the new manager coming in to instill a new generation of football and passion, but that guy wasn't supported and maybe he didn't properly do the phasin out. So the worst part, for me, is that when we are in a tough spot, the only leaders we left (beside the rising mata) are the exact players being disrespected by the club. Rafa couldn't hurt the club so badly if the players on the pitch had a true leader. I don't blame frank for not putting the team on his shoulders or JT for not coaching from the sidelines. We could have really used the old guard with a shitty manager...

If Hiddink returned I'd prefer it be as technical director and get Emenalo the fuck out of here.

we also need a shrink to sort out Roman

The poll title should be changed :

Who do you WANT to be the next Chelsea manager IF José cant come.

Coach partnership in Carlo and Wilkins came closest to Jose tenure in coaching department. The breaking up of that - for absolutely no reason whatsoever - was the turning point in the Premier League. Champions league aside, this club as been going downhill ever since Wilkins sacking . That and putting more faith in one useless player than any manager who did good for us put us where we are now.

We are a club that is not set up or run well from an administrative perspective. This is a long running problem and we have glossed over it for years because the trophies have kept coming. Some even went as far as feeling that our maladaptive structure was the reason for our success rather than our success happening inspite of it..we may finally now have to face the harsh realities and the bitter truth.

Owner that controls everything with a bunch of number crunchers and Yes men on the board.

A technical director in way over his head

No organizational strategy or long term plan

A manager that knows that he will be out this summer that doesn't care if the team looses because he will just say the board didn't listen to him

Players that lacks urgency, passion, fight, determination,

Fans that can't stop booing

The arrogance and fickleness of our board and how our club is run has crept into our team. Roman and his advisors are learning the hard way. Whilst skill and ability helps win matches, its passion that is often more decisive. The passion has been drained out our club and dressing room .

Believing that sometime in summer a right man will come and most problems will be solved is quite romantic, but so far from the truth.

The solution is far more complicated.
