So Villas-Boas 25 votes? Shame he's staying at Porto

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

It seems that its going to be van Basten. We must support him.

And Alex, you compared Chelsea administration with the nazi regime, that wasn't fair.

WE MUST support him unfortunately, he is not my choice.

regarding the second part of your post,you are right.

that wasn't fair and ugly.

<br>I think he means as Chelsea fans we should get behind whoever the new manager is.<br>

This. van wasn't my choice, I would brake the bank to lure Guardiola. Unfortunately I'm not the one who made decisions.

But in this moment we must support the new manager, specially one like van Basten. He is young, and he must get time and patience, specially if there's a overhaul in squad in the summer.

[Shane 2,275]

Villa-Boas, if not, Owen Coyle for me.

[xPetrCechx 13,563]

Hiddink seems only likely to be persuaded to come back to the club in a role as Director of Football, working with a younger coach such as Marco Van Basten but the veteran has made it clear he does not want a full-time club managerial role.

While that is true, for me anyway but that did not apply for Carlo sadly.

^But Bruno de Carvalho didn't get elected as the new Sporting President, and therefore Van Basten won't be managing them.

Domingos Paciencia is goning to be Sporting manager.

[lionsden 4,689]

Hiddink with Zola as assistant.

+1

Carlo had 16 years. He is no a long term manager. He stayed here 2 years. Time enough to prove he didn't change, and definitely is not the kind of manager we need to build the future.

Then the question becomes, do we seek to tempt an already employed manager, with a proven track run (i.e. Guardiola) to us with big money. Or do we take a gamble on an inexperienced, younger manager who we'd trust in for a longer tenure (i.e. Villas-Boas)

[Guest justin_3d]

Ahah, that's right.

But to be honest, I would be more proud of Chelsea if this club plays with two or three players coming from our academy and if it plays a nice football, than if it wins the CL !

Like Arsenal Wenger?

I said it many times here in the site, that I support and like the Wenger Model. But fans can't stand being trophy less regardless how much money he produces for the club and the attractive football he plays. Albeit that if Wenger did spend just a tad bit like Roman does, then no one would stop him.

@officialAndrevi portoThe official twitter account of fc porto manager Andre Villas-Boas

Just started following Andre and it says we have one connection and thats that we both follow CFC lol.

[Rambo 1,729]

Carlo had 16 years.

Is it 2027 already? Stop bringing up the AC Milan bullshit, it's a different team in a different league with a whole different set up. My point is we will never know now what Carlo can do in the long term, but I find it funny that you find it so assuring that another new manager will do wonders for us when he's never even set foot in the Chelsea locker room.

I would try a gamble in this moment, just like Barcelona did with Guardiola and like Liverpool is doing with Dalglish.

But, Guardiola would be the perfect manager, but of course he won't leave Barcelona right now.

[Rambo 1,729]

Yes I would like to see Pep in the premier league as well, Chelsea's acting isn't that good.
