Carlo Ancelotti Is New Chelsea Manager

[NattyBlue 44]

I'm not keen on him, I see us turning into a Liverpool and just playing for CL qualifying in the League.

HOWEVER, he's only here for 3 seasons, so maybe his earlier success in his career will shine and he can do us some good over a 38 season campaign (in the PL), I didn't want him but now he's our manager so next season I'll be cheering him while keeping the blue flag flying high

dood

i can't understand his english! lol

[Shane 2,275]

I'm not convinced. He couldn't get into the Champions League with players like Kaka, Ronaldinho, Pato, Piro, Ambrosini, Nesta and Seedorf in his team.

He is good at handling stars, With the amount he had on his Milan team there can be no doubt of that but, In reality, I'm not sure if he is the right man to take Chelsea forward.

Yes but every manager that comes in from a different league you have to have your doubts about as you do any new player. But if the club and the fans are not behind them 100 percent than they will never be capable of doing the best job that they can.

[NattyBlue 44]

I hope he does it right, he doesn't do training like Scolari does he?

[Steve 10,227]

lol i highly doubt it.

Also his first interview is on the Chelsea website and his english is great for his first interview.

Wasnt overly keen on the idea, but he's got my backing now.

Hopefully he'll be given the chance to prove himself and be it something worth proving!

[NattyBlue 44]

We're gonna have to wait until December methinks...

Scolari had already fucked everything up by then

[Laylabelle 9,296]

He apprantly been taking lessons and thinking in English lol

Hmm duno about this one.Hopfully he'll prove most wrong and have a massive impact etc.Long as he can get the backing of the players and keep it thats the main thing to start with and hopfully he will and not have another Scolari seg.That and keep them all playing at the level and way they are esp Moulda!

I know, I hope he's not given a huge transfer budget, the squad we have now is fine and we just need a few players

Fuck off with us getting Pirlo.

[EskWeston 696]

I am sure signings will have been discussed long ago now and they have their list. I would be suprised if players like Seedorf, Pirlo and Beckham are really on his list because Chelsea WANT to take this club forward ith younger signings and also using the academy, this will have been made clear to Ancelotti and i would doubt we will see any "older" players signed.

How much involvement will Ancelotti have on transfers anyway? That we will never be sure of. As long as every one at the club is working together for one common aim then we are on the right track.

[Stamford 3]

I really really have my reservations about Ancellotti, but with Guus still with us and the friendship he has with Roman, I hope he proves me wrong. His English is not too bad, if you go to the club site and listen to his interview on Chelsea TV, his English is much better than I expected. He needs the money to secure his signings and given a chance.

My big concern about Ancelotti is his ability to work with young players, especially bringing them through from our own resources. I don't know what set up he had at AC Milan, how much was forced upon him and how much was his own choice, but it is not something he has done at AC Milan.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

At Milan, he basically managed the team Berlusconi chose and did relatively well, in my opinion. Whether he can win the League in his first season is a different question altogether, but I am certainly going to get behind him - it might take us a year or two but there is no doubting he is a good manager. I hope the club actually gives him time, unlike Scolari.
