OMG I just jizzed at the thought of...AVB with ZOLA assistant!!!!

[TomCFC 357]

Porto are shrewd for putting a £13.2m release clause in a 32-year-old largely unproven coach's contract. Sometimes I guess you just know.

Reports Villas Boas is to pay his own £13m release fee. Hope for his sake that job offer call from a Russian-accented man wasn't a 'gotcha'.

Birmingham better treat Gianfranco with more respect the those dickheads West Ham. The consequences will not be the same.

On another note, I hope AVB is going to stay long term, hopefully 10+ years. I dream that he will create a dynasty in the likes of SAF.

imanueljosep by CFCTransfers Porto just confirmed, Andre Villas-Boas has signed a contract w/ Chelsea as the new manager at Stamford Bridge. Hoping all the best for him.

Nothing official yet though.

Exciting times ahead.......my only concern about this is that Roman will not give him time to create a legacy like every other manager we've brought in.

If we're to pay the fee to release him from his current position, then I hope he's given time and not shoved out the door as soon as things go a bit pear shaped.

[Severinb 309]

Bring in modric mata and VDW and i will reallllly respect you villas boas!

Haha , I've been trying to convince the Kiwii guy otherwise but he seems deadpan over streaming tennis . Won't happen till late evening anyway , if there is even going to be a press conference although a BBC reporter just tweeted about going to the Bridge .

[magic weeds 446]

he's resigned from Porto by agreeing to pay the release clause, all by himself.

[NoNickBoy 9]

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BYE BYE BAD-VILLAS!!! BYE BYE MOUTINHO , FALCAO E HULK!!! SL BENFICA NEW CHAMPION 2012!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THANK YOU CHELSEA!!! BROTHERS FOR EVER!!!

[LDN Blue 7,903]

Bold move by Villas-Boas to buy himself out of the contract.

I'm sure Chelsea will reimburse that soon though.. A very positive managerial change, from going to established, older, coaches to upcoming, young, ones shows RA & the board is ready to change their approach towards the goals of this club.

Time to see what the transfer window has in store for us

Maybe Roman realised that appointing past CL winners aint always the way

[magic weeds 446]

IMO, MOUTINHO should be his first signing. What do you think? he is something in the midfield, bu goes unnoticed.

Ps: who is Boas' assistant manager? is he older than him?

LOL First i saw youre post i was like "What?! is not coming?! :mellow: "

Good for you mate!

I love Zola and would have him here at any capacity but I'd rather Boas came here with his own group of assistants. Hopefully we can start clearing out all the useless assistants and coaches currently working with the first team.

[Severinb 309]

Why are we suddenly so keen on getting porto players??

When we thought hiddink was coming nobody wanted moutinho or falcao!

I would maybe take hulk but nobody else, keep our current transfer targets lukaku, de bruyne, modric.....

And i dont think Boas will take 2-3 many players with him!
