Official - AVB confirmed as Chelsea boss

[lionsden 4,689]

yeah yeah yeah...playing total football + pressing football without any tactical input. Nice !!

Johan Cryuff should take the credit for barca's tiki taka style of play and not pep. The dutch brought the philosophy to Barcelona and the club has played that way since 1988. I will however give guardiola credit for his high pressing tactics and man management skills which also includes youth development.

It doesn't matter so much who our coach is anymore.

What matters the most is who we sign this summer.

Hiddink Will be Our Manager for 1 Season with zola as Assistant and then Mourinho Will come!

Abramovich Tried to bring him this summer but his high release fee and his wish to stay for 1 more season in spain Destroyed the move.

......

Your all over the place. Stop this nonsense that he is going to come 100% and that.

All this stuff is made up by the newspaper to sell story, so people like you can have something to comment.

As far as i know everything can be a lie. Don't believe till it's official.

[Kostas 1,468]

Zola would be a brilliant PR move. Gotta wonder though if he'll accept going from a PL manager to a simple assistant coach.

I do not think Jose Mourinho will return to Chelsea while there is Abramovich. Mainly because of ego.

He said he wants to return some time ago.

[Ballancee 5]

Not sure but I think once he was expelled unlikely to return

Problem with Hiddink story is too many assume its a done deal and its nailed on. Its far from it, there hasn't even been any talks, as Turkey said Guus and their president are away for a week. Guus' agent has said categorically 100% Hiddink will be manager for Turkeys games in September, now to me, if he is planning on being Turkey coach in September, hes more likely to take DoF and not manager as he has said himself he cant combine 2 managerial jobs again. The reason he did it in 09 was because he knew for a fact he was only with us for 4 months; and Russia had no games during the period.

Guus' agent also said most of the "Hiddink to Chelsea" stories are being made up by English press, and the fact is Guus is turkey manager and is very happy with how things are looking for qualification.

Make of that what you will

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

No. You couldnt. Thats why before Pepe was named coach Barcelona had a miserable season with Messi, Iniesta and Xavi.

So, please, stop this talk "my mom would win CL with this Barcelona side". Mourinho also had a mountain of money to buy whatever he wants, and he couldn't score a fucking goal in Liverpool's home, and we got knocked out two times for an average side.

Mourinho's squad was also supposed to win at least win CL ( he didn't it ) and was also supposed to win back to back PL trophies ( he did it ), but it doesn't make Mourinho a shit coach, even tough he is always bitching that his stellar squads aren't good enough.

Off course that Pepe won't make a side play as good as Barcelona are playing right now if he doesnt have the right players, but it doesn't mean he is a coach who doesnt have a clue about football and even you ( who came up with this kind of arguments ) could win the CL. If you were Barcelona's manager you would get the axe after the first 10 matches.

Gudjonsen said few days ago that Guardiola was the key in Barcelonas success, and Sylvinho said the same days ago. I prefer to consider the opinion of his past players.

Guardiola >>>>>>>>>> Ancelotti

So if Pepe manage us in the near future it will be a huge improvement for what we had in last two seasons.

Ancelotti >>>>>>> Hiddink

Sorry mate, but you must learn one thing or two about football.

[Henrique 9,133]

Indeed. Telegraph is proving to be as ridiculous as Daily Mail.

I dont think Mourinho want to return and dont think that Roman wants him back.

If Roman give Hiddink one year spell its to try Guardiola. I think José is staying in Real until Manchester job is available.

No. It seems that you are reading too much of The Sun...

If you read this article you realize that informal conversations has been taken between Mourinhos camp ( not Mourinho himself ) and Romans supposed close representatives ( not Roman himself ) and no offer was made and they never talked about a return.

So, how you came to the conclusion that Abramovich tried to sign him?

Actually the whole article ( nobody knows who wrote it ) is speculation, thats why it says Roman might move for Jose in next years because of the expectation from sources "close" to him.

Edit: two days ago in same Telegraph, but this time a signed article, made by Jason Burt:

"That scenario ( bringing Mourinho back ) would appear highly unlikely, especially as some sources close to the Chelsea owner are convinced that despite the rapprochement between the two men, Abramovich would not really want Mourinho who left in 2007 with an £18 million pay-off."

So it seems that these sources close to Abramovich don't really know what Roman wants, unless he changed his mind in last two days.
