[Sheva. 5,373]

Next week can't come soon enough!!!!

[J.F. 1,484]

Raymond Verheijen just tweeted "Interesting developments at Chelsea FC. To be continued"

He tweeted yesterday: 'Interesting developments at Chelsea. To be continued.' This morning while commenting on a course he has been instructing here in Australia he commented: 'This course also made me realize again that I have really missed working full-time with a team on a daily basis in the last two years.'

This is ridiculous!

While Roman sits on his arse on a yacht somewhere in the sun! Chelsea has no manager, and any decent possible transfers are slipping through our hands to our rivals!

First Henderson and Jones, next it could be Lukaku and Neymar. Time for Roman to actually try and get this whole ordeal to get over with or we won't be able to compete for the title. which he would want, and it would be the exact same story next season!

Firstly, roman personally doesn't go to clubs to make transfers.

Secondly, there is something called as a communication network

Thirdly, I don't care if we missed out on overpriced average English players.

Fourthly, the transfer window will open in 22 days.

Fifthly, stop panicking. It's summer and everyone is holidaying

Where did that come from?

[ZanSnake 1,211]

I am sure if Roman wanted this whole ordeal over and done with, it would be. The sooner someone is announced as manager, the sooner a shortlist can be written up and actually be tried to be completed! And with the rumours of the likes like Anelka, Drogba, Malouda, Zhirkov and Bosingwa on their way out, i can only see another example of last season, where we won't get enough players to replace them and supposedly use the youth, but then moan when they aren't 'world-class' straight away!

I am only hoping we can sign Hiddink by the end of the week, and if not - then we are all in the unknown for the future of Chelsea football club.

To ask someone you suspect that Guus Hiddink will be the new coach?

Seeing as he is the only person everyone seems to adore and accept as the manager, as was as hinting he actually would want the job - you could basically see the connection

I have great confidence in Guus Hiddink. Who else if not he will lift the team up after the low season. Do not say miracles, but I expect big things with him at the helm.

[warnie_666 1,081]

I think what is holding us back is the 4m payout clause in Hiddink's contract. Turkey was ready to fire him after the Belgium game but when they realized about Chelsea wanting Hiddink, they decided not to fire him as in that case Chelsea will have to pay them 4m. Now Chelsea has realized this and are waiting on turkey to make a decision on Hiddink. This is currently the standoff That is holding back Chelsea from making hiddink officially their manager.

There is logic. If Turkey fired him will have to pay. And at this point will retrieve largeamount of it after Chelsea redeem him.

Sounds like a good theory, but I don't think our board was pinning their hopes on him losing one game against Belgium to get him for free. The 4m clause was always going to be a risk from the beginning

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

Just to point out, Verheijen also worked with Hughes at Man City, so theres a connection there too.

Thought id put that out there...

[robdog 2,084]

Sorry for the telly tubby supporters here. Villa is closing a deal to bring the spanish waiter to Birmingham Well at least Villa can player Brummie again

[Kostas 1,468]

4m wouldn't hold neither Chelsea nor Roman back.

[Tomo 21,751]

With Hiddink in am i the only one that would fancy our chances if we bumped into Jose in the CL?

[zolayes 14,489]

4m wouldn't hold neither Chelsea nor Roman back.

of course not paid more to get rid of Scolari and Carlo

[eldo 868]

What about 15m for someone?

[22mek22 133]

Watching a documentary on Zola.

Please please please come back as our assistant to Guus for a year, nurture him and the following year, if he has proved himself then he can become manager,
