Official - AVB confirmed as Chelsea boss

[zolayes 14,489]

I think everyone knows that the job is Hiddinks if he wants it. The bookies have to reflect the odds on the amount of money being placed also. I guess there is a 25% probability at this stage he will accept it.

Truth of the matter is other than Hiddink noone in the press knows Romans plans yet....

exactly

Andre Villas Boas Has €15M Release Clause

I dont like the look of Redknapp shortening to 3/1

[termninja 5,290]

Hidink for a year here wouldn't be that bad though. Next year we could bring Guardiola or Villas-Boas :eyebrows:

But yeah, it has it's downsides just as LDN said.

They will give Hiddink time to decide but I think he will offer it to Redknapp if Hiddink rejects it. What is your main concerns with him??

If Ancelotti was accused of being tactically inept and failing to properly prepare his team for big games, Rednapp will be a lot of fun for Chelsea fans....

True, tactically he is crap. However, I'm not sure that being a great tactician is so important in a knock out competition (look at Capello with England).

Redknapp will play a 4-5-1 style that will get the best out of Torres, but his main strength is that players always give 100% for him and like him.

With our situation Roman sacks managers reguarly and Redknapp does always buy good attacking players. As our defence is sound with attacking players required I just think at the current time Redknapp is a good fit for us. Not long term no but we never seem to have a long term plan do we?

He made a pretty good team out of Spurts too, and yeah, his players seem to be very motivated. It seems to me also that he may be tired of leading a bit weaker club and not being able to bring some players he would like, so chances or him leading us are even bigger with that.

100% he will take the job if offered. At this time all we can do is speculate but I think Redknapp is in Romans thoughts.....

Of course he is in Roman's thoughts. If Guus doesn't come, I don't see anyone else there expect Redknapp who would be a "secure" signing. Jose and Andre won't come, Guardiola will stay another season, and Rijkaard and Van Basten don't give me confidence. Best 2 possible choice for me are Guus and Harry.

[Madmax 9,219]

Whoever you decide to appoint, just back him through the tough times as well ffs. Thank you.

Redknapp would be a good choice, no way. The best thing for me is that he finally would buy some British/English players. Players who can fight nonstop on the pitch and have endless energy and stamina. This is what we incredibly need.

Yeah! Agree with that.. It's just a shame all the English talent is over-priced like fuck!

[Sheva. 5,373]

Someone said we might be interested in Sparky

[Makaveli 59]

I prayed for Ashley Young but he is on his way to Old Trafford..

If we should some real interest, we could easily sway him!

I still think Charlie Adam would be a great signing for an ageing Lampard & Sinclair from Reading (<- though that's highly unlikely considering how we treated him)

Ive been saying Adam for ages. Best dead ball taker in the league plus he is not fit and overweight. A proper manager will get another 10% out of him....

Yea definetly agree on that, Charlie Adam would be great deal. Why can't we be interested in those players? we just aim at 30+ mils players
