Hope Di Matteo does as good a job as he did last season.
Then Honest Frank takes over :bow:.
He'll probably bring back Dennis Wise and Wilkins as player/coaches.

How long before someone praises Chelsea for not putting up with trophyless/fight-for-fourth campaign and comparing the situation to Arsenal?
-0.001 seconds.
However long it takes Zimm to long on today.Quote:

Saying that, I'm sure getting a 20m payout for 6-12 months work is attractive.
Sven next up. He loves money.Quote:

On the plus side they won't be getting hulk or falcao anytime soon.
Rafa is a good manager. If he took that job and screwed up though - potentially three big pay-offs in no time at all. S'ralan would be proud of that.
He'll be Lamplard's poodle.Quote:

AVB has a future in football - what future do Chelsea have with old farts like Lamplard, Terry and Cole calling the shots?
I'm fairly sure the remit AVB was given is that he would be allowed to rebuild the team and move players on but the Untouchables won't allow that to happen.Quote:
