Aesthetic Relic 301 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 SSN Russians admit Hiddink fear Russia admit they fear manager Guus Hiddink will remain at Chelsea beyond the end of the season. Vitaly Mutko, president of the Russian Football Union (RFU) confesses that the chance to manage Chelsea is a huge draw. Hiddink has agreed to take charge of Chelsea until the summer following Luiz Felipe Scolari's departure, thus taking on a dual role as he continues to be head coach of Russia. Hiddink has performed well since arriving at Stamford Bridge and the Russians are desperate for the Dutchman to remain with them - but they admit Chelsea are in a position to lure him away. "I don't think he would agree to join any club other than Chelsea, not because of his special relationship with Roman Abramovich, but because Chelsea is the kind of global side that any coach would like to manage," said Mutko. "At the moment we have an agreement with Guus Hiddink that he will combine the two posts only until the summer. "Of course everything can change, but we should take into account that, for Hiddink, it is better to work with a national side. He is not only a coach but also an organiser, a politician - not a club man." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kajo 176 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I hope it's gonna happen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve 10,227 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I think we should wait until the end of the season to be honest, Guss has started very well but than again so did scolari but i would say that has alot to do with Steve Clarke. But to be fair to him he has got the boys looking a lot fitter and even got us looing like a team again! I think Russia would release him if he really wanted to stay with Chelsea but at this stage i think he might still be to commited to the Coaching Role in Russia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliott 7 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Hiddink has obviously done well so far, but appointing him full time is never going to be a long term move and I still think we'd be better looking for a younger manager who can stay at the club for a long time and build a formidable team if given the time.

Fulham Broadway 17,367 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I think the decision will ineviatbly fall to Abramovich -if he wants him to stay, he'll smooth the Russian Football Federation, Hiddinks agent, Hiddink will be offered a contract he cant refuse ..... ....and then be sacked a few months later Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diskoviolente 425 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I don´t think that Hiddink would take the job in the first place. He is doing his friend and protector Roman a favor, and than go back to the national team. He wouldn´t like to get anything between him and Roman, concidering the sacking-argument Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matterz 67 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Would love to keep Guus, I think he is arguable one of the very best, he has done a good job so far, obviously has the players respect and would do an even better job if he could bring in his own players over the summer. You have to remember we have a very unbalanced side at the moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kez 2,727 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 I would like to see him stay, he's managed to get the players looking like they want to fight again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Steve 10,227 Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 Also if he did stay i can see roman giving him money to purchase playeres if he wanted!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gary gordon 1,777 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 This is what i think should happen: Ring ring, ring ring Jose: allo Roman: its me, i want you back! Jose: Took your fucken time rusky! Roman: I will sign over all control of managment and players to you. Jose: Malouda will be gone? Roman: Ill have him packing in 5 mins Jose: you will never bring back Shevchenko?? Roman: Hahahahahahahahah.......... Jose: Goodbye Italy, Hello Champions league Trophy!

diskoviolente 425 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Sheva absoloutly deserves a group hug. Really like him. Just because Roman is so needy he wasted 2 years of his carreer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Laylabelle 9,540 Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 Sheva absoloutly deserves a group hug.

That's why I say we keep him for as long as possible. That way, instead of finding the first suitable young manager to take us forward, we assess our options and get the best man for the job.

Elliott 7 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I figure 5 months is plenty of time for that anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLion. 21,491 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Quite true, but all the current 'young' managers, ie. Guardiola, are currently in jobs, which is my point - I'm saying by keeping Hiddink we can wait for the oportune moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you, if we are going to find a good young manager we need to wait for someone to become available. I do not want to rush into finding a manager who is inexperienced and not take us forward. I think if Guss is really needed to stay than he will because he does respect roman and will do everything he can to help him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
