Fulham Broadway 17,312 Posted February 10, 2009 Author Share Posted February 10, 2009 Its on Sky Sports now, Hiddink would not leave Russia and has already combined two jobs in the past. He would command discipline in the squad, doesnt suffer fools or slackers. I would be pleased about this. He also likes his wide players.

If it was any other club aside from Chelsea my answer would be a straight 'No'," he said. "But Chelsea is different because I have good relations with the (club) owner. So I would like to help them (Chelsea) in this situation if I could." http://uk.reuters.com/article/sportsNews/i...A78358020090210 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gary gordon 1,777 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Since Scolari is such a great international coach why doesnt he take over the reins in Russia and let Hiddink take full control at the bridge?? Wouldnt that be fair? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrismada9 1,948 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 HIDDINK BEGINS TALKS WITH Chelsea Russia manager Guus Hiddink says he has been approached to take over as Chelsea manager until the end of the season. The west London club made a move for the Dutchman after sacking Brazilian Luiz Felipe Scolari on Monday. Hiddink, 62, who has close links with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich, said: "If it was any other club my answer would be a straight 'No'. "But Chelsea is different because I have good relations with the owner. I would like to help them if I could." However, Hiddink stressed he will not be relinquishing his duties with Russia and is fully committed to helping the team qualify for the 2010 World Cup. "This would only be for the next two or three months until the end of the season," he said. Taken from the BBC website Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That permission has been granted and Chelsea would like to thank the RFU for their co-operation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RX8 40 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Well it looks like HiddinK is going for the Job.... and I feel like is not so temporaly like he said.... This like Beackham situacion... ones he is in the Job He won´t go back... The only good thing about Hiddink is that Abramovich will spend some money to make his friend happy and make him stay. The problem will be if he say no.... Why is so hard to see that only Mourinho es the Real TRUE BLUE COACH for this team... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem will be if he say no.... I cant see Hiddink being the long term answer. I think he's adamant that this is only temporary. I really thought we would have put more thought into this and went for Rijkaard. Its just a short term fix imo. If Hiddink can steady the ship then so be it. One thing he will bring to the team is togetherness and with that I hope the fight will return to the squad to haul ourselves back into contention.

chrismada9 1,948 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Maybe Hiddink is going to help steady the ship, like you said, and someone like Rijkaard will take over in the summer. That sounds more realistic to me. At least if they bring in someone like Hiddink who has good enough qualities, then the person who takes over will hopefully opt to build on it. Hence, the Chelsea board will have a lot more time to think over who is really the right man for the job. If anything, you would feel that the board thinking about the position too much would result in confusion, and during that time we would have to rely on Wilkins, who isn't really proven enough to be in charge.

Elliott 7 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 I'm happy with the idea of Hiddink being temporary manager and I think now it looks like this will definitely happen. He's a manager who's had a lot of success with many different International sides and also has European club experience, including experience of running a club job and an International job at the same time. He would hopefully steer us into the Champions League next season leaving us in a good position to attract a permanent manager in the summer who would be best suited in our interests. It'll be easier to find such a manager in the summer. All in all I think the club have handled this the best way possible after they sacked Scolari, if Hiddink does take up the role that is.

gary gordon 1,777 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 From what i remember when he coached the socceroos, Guus was a very defensive coach. Will this sit well with the Chelsea fans? we shall wait and see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well in the case... maybe if the club is going to take a "Long" term coach again...like always said.. Why don we star right now.?? For example is Rijkaard is the man... or maybe... let´s just wait... talk to him make a Deal and let him finish the season... and with this we will win some time with: 1 Let him used to the Premier and see how is the real deal. 2 Get in touch with the players Know each others 3 Make a Full diagnostic of the Good and Bad things of the team and preparate himself for the next season, I see how much can he spend and see Who can hire.. 4 Give him time to talk with the new player he might want.

chrismada9 1,948 Posted February 10, 2009 Share Posted February 10, 2009 Mourinho was very defensive when he managed us. Just think of all those 1-0 wins we achieved and the way Makelele used to go about his own defensive midfield role. And with Essien hopefully coming back from injury soon, I'm sure Hiddink with spur players like him in the right direction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can we start right now? Any manager we bring in can't sign any players until the summer, and most managers aren't available right now anyway. At least at the end of the season it will be easier to persuade clubs to let their successful young managers leave, which is what we need if we want to make a long term appointment. And anyway, a long term appointment will require a lot of research, and we need a manager NOW, not in a month. Bring in Hiddink as temp manager, whilst in the meantime really do our homework on who would be the best new option. Bring them in early in the summer to allow them plenty of time to do their transfers and then maybe we'll be on our way to building a new successful team.
