Official - AVB confirmed as Chelsea boss

[ChelseaFanUK 1,014]

It's obvious Turkey want compensation which Roman doesnt want to pay, therefore he wants Hiddink to quit Turkey. Which Hiddink wont do because hes loyal to contracts, and Turkey are well in with a chance of qualifying. Had they lost Friday, this would be sorted. There are even some people claiming Hiddink would prefer DoF as his wife doesn't want him doing the day to day coaching, although Guus misses it

Well its looking like Gus then -just our luck because of his age he does a Houllier and has a heart attack ....

[LDN Blue 7,903]

We probably will pay the compensation.. Hiddink must've been contacted by the club by now, or else he'd have committed to Turkey.

Unbelievable

[TomCFC 356]

Hiddink's the most popular choice and it seems talks are set to begin. Bring it on!

[Guest justin_3d]

Looks interesting. But due agree with our club being stupid in paying all that money in compensation.

Shoot with that money we could have bought Pastore by now!

[TomCFC 356]

£12.6m for Scolari is astonishing, but he had to go.

Ian McGarry

No decision yet on whether Hiddink will he head coach or Director of Football. That discussion is ongoing between Roman and Guus

[22mek22 133]

Guus for one year, will then become DoF and leave the way for Pep or AVB
