bobby12 0 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 He managed a few Isrealie teams and the national side. He 'almost' got them qualified for the World Cup. So clearly he is qualified for the position I think this guy is just in for the short term. They will bring in Hiddink or Scholari or Erikson or that German guy in the summer. In the meantime, they will finish 4th or 5th I imagine and use this season as a transition phase, maybe off-load a few promising young players and bring in some more fading stars...the new Real Madrid.

bobby12 0 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 BBC NEWS: Mourinho exit could spark exodus Chelsea could face a succession of big-name departures after boss Jose Mourinho left Stamford Bridge. Reports are rife that many of the club's most high-profile players now want to follow him out of Chelsea. Defender Ricardo Carvalho said: "It is a very sad day for me and the team. I had a big offer from Real Madrid but I stayed at Chelsea because of Mourinho." And summer signing Florent Malouda added: "I joined Chelsea because of my first meeting with Mourinho." Several reports claim striker Didier Drogba is "furious and upset" at the parting of the ways between Chelsea and their charismatic Portuguese coach. AC Milan are admirers of the Ivory Coast striker and would happily finance a move to take him to the San Siro. Drogba, 29, was Chelsea's top scorer with 33 goals last season. Reports elsewhere claim Michael Essien and Paulo Ferreira, both brought to Chelsea by Mourinho, may also be mulling over whether to stay at the club. A huge question mark will also hang over the future of England midfield man Frank Lampard, who has already put talks on a new contract on hold and was regarded as one of Mourinho's most trusted lieutenants in the dressing room. Lampard has long been linked with a move to Spain with either Real Madrid or Barcelona. Link to post Share on other sites
soubriquet 0 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 It's worth pondering whether any really top line managers would want to go to Chelsea, knowing that Abramovich likes to tinker. I know I wouldn't like my boss interfering. Link to post Share on other sites
giggsy 0 Posted September 22, 2007 Share Posted September 22, 2007 And so Chelski starts to implode. As long as they aren't on for it on Sunday and United thrash them. We have in the past been had some bad games against teams who have been in turmoil with sudden caretaker managers. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 23, 2007 Share Posted September 23, 2007 The arsenal game was a joke, just a training game for them. I think Derby had 3 shots at goal the whole game. they are down already IMO Link to post Share on other sites

rach 1 Posted September 25, 2007 Share Posted September 25, 2007 Quote: England and Chelski skipper John Terry faces a ban for attempting to grab the red card out of the hand of referee Mike Dean during Sunday's controversial match at Old Trafford. Although Dean refused to take any action against Terry at the time, The Daily Mail claims that he 'has included the actions of Terry - as well as a number of other Chelsea players and staff - in the report he has sent to Soho Square. 5 month ban!! With no wages. That'll teach him. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 Hardly put a dent in his savings, he gets paid an obsene amount of money. Yep, Spurs are high flying this year, watch out Man U!! Link to post Share on other sites
bobby12 0 Posted September 26, 2007 Share Posted September 26, 2007 He should have booked him at the time. this is poor. Liverpool's Torres scores a hattrick - we needed that on saturday not last night. So much for the league being a priority this year Link to post Share on other sites
