Who do we need?

[Madmax 9,219]

Suspect the popular choice would be Zola/Clarke. Don't know where Maldini's name has cropped up from tbh.

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Steve Clarke, ANY DAY. He's got the experience of managing under Mourinho and now he can use it under Ancelotti. Plus he's not tied with anyone right now.

[Kez 2,727]

Zola first.

if not Clarke or Wisey. All Chelsea men through and through.

[Rambo 1,729]

Ray Wilkins

[BRMC 12]

Dennis Wise please i only ever want to see Zola back as manager

[Gianfranco_Z 202]

Gianfranco Zola would be a dream come true. :blue scalf:

[Rambo 1,729]

Zola since he speaks Italian and English.

[CHD 30]

Zola, just to see him at the Bridge every couple of weeks in Chelsea colours again would be great.

[BlueLion. 21,491]

I think I've sparked up media rumours about Maldini after mentioning it as a joke But when I come to think about it, it seems likely. Maldini wants to go into coaching and has a fantastic relationship with Ancelotti.

But I want Zola to replace Wilkins.

Dennis Wise, complete leader, role model, and has blue blood running through his entire body! bring him back, and watch those press interviewers worry what to say infront of him!

Sorry but NO.. loved wisey as player and captain but dont think he is up to this job .Would much prefer Zola.

[Yasser 63]

Return ray wilkins !!

[EskWeston 696]

I think there will certainly be someone to come in, ideally i would love to have Zola here! Although i don't know what the chances of that happening are?

[Peace. 4,352]

The one and only...................... Avram Grant !

Nah, Clarke.

[eldo 868]

Do you remember after CL draws, when there was someone from our PR and Zola standing infront of camera? Zola was asked about his future.

[Slam Dunk 1,442]

BBC saying it will likely be an internal appointment...Clement looks likely.

[Wilson 358]

I'd love to see Big Den back with us!

[EskWeston 696]

There is talk that Emenalo could be given the role, which in my eyes would not be a good sign. I can't see that Carlo would be wanting someone with LESS experience than Ray alongside him!!! Would mean that it is all done from above. Looks like it could well be an appointment from inside the club, i would be happy if Clem was promoted, he is a good guy and knows what he is talking about...
