Official - AVB confirmed as Chelsea boss

[Lampy 110]

He won't be paying it himself lol.

He is an aristocrat and is already very rich. His grandmom had a huge winery business and he has counts and barons in his family tree. So while it is very unlikely he paid for it himself, it is not outside the realm of possibility.

Mourinho already in the background...

Who's that behind Villas-Boas?

Good thing I like about this potential managerial change is, it's been relatively controversy free.

Whereas left, right & centre we're being accused of tapping up by everyone, with Villas-Boas we made Porto aware we were talking to him over the weekend and they were resigned to the fact he would leave & could leave should they be compensated.

It's clean, quick & caught the "media" completely off-guard. Proving how useless they are when they had us all believe, Hiddink was the man. Smart stuff by Chelsea & the board <- Seldom that is.

about time

What I like about him, is that he seems to be ambitious and to have balls. Indeed, he kinda risks his career in coming here, a entire squad to rebuilt, big ego players, a club with high expectations... It could burn him his wings... Seems to have balls and I like this a lot.

We will be chanting this soon

Bought out his own contract? Puts the fans and the board on his side already, with anything official made. Fair play AVB!

Villas-Boas stated his desire for a short career, he wants to retire at 45.

I just hope he's in it for football reasons (i.e. wants to create an impact/legacy somewhere), and not purely for financial reasons.

I think he will be announced late tonight or tomorrow- there are a few final things to be ironed out between Chelsea and Porto. Do you think he will bring his own back room staff?

Got a source?

And anyway he has 12 years, and I think when he bought out his own contract eliminated any doubts that he's doing it for finicial reasons.

Yea, it's in the full verison of the 'shit one' interview, it's been posted on here a few times. He states that he wants a short career, until he's 45.

12 years of AVB will suit me just fine.
