Can add the Modric going nowhere to Guus and AVB!

Given all the reports we have had already with Hiddink, Redknapp and Hughes all being dead certs i think we have to take this with a pince of salt still. Having said that i would be well pleased to see us sign a young up and coming manager with something to prove and a very good technical knowledge of the game. Would be pleased if we did appoint him.

Villas Boas as manager, and Hiddink as DoF would be the dream team.

The 15m release cause is a concern though. Considering there are no guarantees Roman will give him time, and the club have already given Carlo a £6m pay off.

Villas Boas has great respect among #CFC players who worked with him under Mourinho. He gave each player a dossier on their direct opponent.

Hiddink could be crucial in this story.

IMO he is the only one Roman listens to & respects in football matters.So Guus can be the connection beetwen Roman and Villas-Boas.Combination of youth and experience could provide so many good things at CFC.I'm sure we won't buy somebody just because RA wants sexy football.

Guus and AvB,lead us to glory !

Not sure if Terry will respect a guy as old as him.

He's a professional. Of course he will.

[Kostas 1,468]

If it hasn't been posted already , here's an incredibly insightful article on Villas-Boas . Covers his roots and advent into the game , going into great detail with plenty of references . Makes for a good read altogether :

What a huge read

I'll be gutted if we don't get him only for reading this.

The thing is Record are much more reputable than the likes of Daily Mail and Sun.

i guess you meant Lampard ,due to there being quite a gap in the ages of JT and AVB.

[Tomo 21,751]

How about this in 35 years time?

Villas Boas retires, with

27 premiership titles + 6 runners up

12 FA Cups + 4 finals

10 Carling Cups + 3 finals

8 Champions League titles + 3 finals

Unless Utd or Liverpool win the other 8, were be the most succesful team in England when he goes

Oh well we can all dream from time to time

[Kieran. 6,317]

Terry would respect any manager Chelsea appoints.

[Sheva. 5,373]

The question is not if Terry will respect him, its' if Drogba will.

[22mek22 133]

Is he definitely coming?!

30 to 33...oh God, quite a gap.

[Henrique 9,133]

Terry would respect any manager Chelsea appoints.

When I say respect, I'm not saying Terry will avoid fucking Villas' wife, or will call the portuguese a jackass.

What I'm saying is, when Villa come with some controversial tactic it would not be difficult to a player like Terry think "This guy don't know what he is doing".

I mean, Villas is a good choice, I'm only pointing some things that might happen.

I hope that kind of thing doesn't happen if he does get appointed as our new manager ! *fingers crossed*

If it was Van Basten, or some young guy yes.

But Boas has been at Chelsea, so Terry should know him and everyone in the club. I don't see a problem with it.

Vialli was as young when he became manager and was very successful. It help cause he was at the club before being appointed manager, same will be with AVB, if he gets appointed.
