Official - AVB confirmed as Chelsea boss

[Tomo 21,733]

So is this season finally going to be the transitional period many have anticipated..

Bring in a young hungry manager, and get rid of the older players (Drogba, anelka and co).

Let's hope so.

Probally bullshit but there's been a few tweets claiming AVB don't want Drogba, if true (and thats a big if) it would be very interesting.

Guardian already has a blog post about AVB and power player at Chelsea.

To be honest its best that some of the oldr players that worked under Jose (Drogba, Essien and maybe even Lampard) have to go otherwise they wont take him seriously since he use to work under Jose

I'm not concerned about our players not "respecting" him. That's a silly issue. Lampard, Cech, Didier et al are professional players, not power hungry premadonnas. If AVB is the right man and his results are good, the players will follow. I have a huge feeling that he's going to bring the absolute best out of Torres. I will bet my right nut that the best is still to be seen from El Niño if AVB gets to job.
