Other than speaking to the players and possibly Mourinho, Abramovich was due to hold detailed talks with Guus Hiddink. [Telegraph]

Hiddink is expected to be in the Stamford Bridge stands to watch Holland and Newton take the managerial responsibilities. [Telegraph]

Abramovich went on to tell the players he expected immediate improvements following the decision to replace Mourinho. #CFC (Mail)

Think it will be Pep/Simeone. The timing was strange, after Pep announced he will clarify his future next week (leaving Bayern), Chelsea sacked Jose.
Might be a gesture of Roman to convince his dream manager to join him at Chelsea.

And if he fails, the second option will be Simeone, a safe bet and proven winner.

Jesus can we stop with the twitter bullshit...

Steve Holland stood up to Jose? When? Over what?

As for the players that got rid of Mourinho, who are they, nobody can pinpoint them, because they don't exist?

Stop buying into the media circus

You know what I really hate about Twitter? The bullshit of the one word sentence at the end of the tweet.

For instance:

'Messi just scored 5 goals against no-name Spanish team 23. Class.'

I don't know why but it fucking boils my shit.

Poch would be great, massive fan but Levy's a cunt and would see hell freeze over first. Tuchel needs some seasons under his belt at Borussia before he's ready to step up to the next level imo.

The biggest.

I agree that we haven't seen Tuchel do much yet and he would be a bit of an unknown. I'm just crying out for optimism. It's been a miserable season to date and yesterday just threw out more questions.

I would like Lucien Favre, he ticks every box of the manager we all want but he doesn't give me much security. We could be 6th in the league and that wouldn't surprise me. He doesn't have European pedigree either.

That's a risk in my opinion. The dream is Pep, but after that there's Diego Simeone. Even though I may very well imagine that we play too rigid football sometimes (not that extreme like with Jose) he gives that security. I don't see falling with him into mediocrity if he will be backed in the summer (Koke and Griezmann :))

I hate that too, it's so lame and boring. Useless.

It doesn't have to be a certain manager to change things. It's about the club's philosophy. The best example is Barcelona. They have a philosophy. All of their teams, even the youngest team of their academy, they all play in the same system. That's how they prepare their youth for the big team. We need a philosophy, we need to have a constant idea of football and stick to it. And the manager is not the answer. The manager can't give you stability in modern football. It's not about that anymore. If you have a philosophy, then you can afford replacing the manager once in a while (look at Bayern, Barca, Real) and still be successful. But if you only count on "hey, let's put this guy here and expect him to build an empire", it's not gonna work ON LONG TERM. There will never be another Sir Alex because football has changed. Completely.

I agree. I think that whoever is appointed the next manager will merely be a sign as to whether the board agree too and look at themselves.
