Yeah much of that resonates. If he's impressed by Mainz and Hoffenheim he'll be even more impressed by some of the bigger clubs. 

Not all clubs bother with the pre-loaded cards, about half the ones I've been to have and the other half haven't. Either way, never queued for longer than a minute to get a beer. 

[pink_triangle]

Juandue Ramos favourite, unusual choice which makes me think there may be some credibility.

[TheGayTent]

Presumably just a stop gap appointment 

[eFestivals]

it'll be interesting to see if Chelsea perk up now the moan has gone.

It'll be hilarious if they start playing well, as that'll be a clear "fuck of Jose" from the players.

[ThomThomDrum]

Wonder if Utd would be interested in the Moany One? If that happened and it worked it would kill me. 

I suspect the same influences stopping him the last time will do the same this time however..............

... although The Unemployed One is maybe feeling a little more humble now?

i'd like to think he's The Unemployable One, but there was something in one of the papers a few days ago that Real are keen to have him back.

(Perhaps they've got someone's eyeballs in mind? :P)

The Australian national team's twitter account has just announced Hiddink as the new Chelsea manager 

Edited December 18, 2015 by kingcrawler

[luckysalt]

Temporary basis, sounds like til the end of the season, what a weird way for it to be announced

Apparently its been embargo'd until 12pm tomorrow but they've announced it at 12pm THEIR time! 

[the_hedge]

Big mistake from Chelsea in my opinion. They should have backed the manager, sold the problem players (  no matter how big they are) . What that does is send a message out to the current players and future players that the manager is the main man. As soon as players realise the manager aint gonna get sacked they have 2 options, up their game or leave. Currently they just toss it off and wait for the manager to get sacked.

[mungo57]

Chelsea make me laugh sometimes.

I expect they will try and offer Guardiola whatever it takes to come in next season. They can't have Quique though - he belongs to the Hornets!

that's great.

Who'd have thought it? A Chelsea fan with as sense of humour.

[kingcrawler]

So, how long do we think Van Gaal will last now?

[pink_triangle]

I think I heard that they had 2 shots on target. Given the choice of lvg or mou, I would choose the latter.

[zahidf]

oh god i hope not. utd under lvg is hilarious. will take 3 years for jose to destroy utd in the same way...

 

so id say lecister for top 4 looking even more secure. top for xmas!

That's not really realistic though is it? You can't just offload 5 or 6 big players in one window AND get a decent price for them. And we can't afford to just give them away at rock bottom prices. The decision they took was the correct one, sadly. Not as if Jose is faultless in this mess

[DomDom1984]

Not faultless? He's the root cause of the mess that got him fired and it should have been done far far sooner.

[Celery]

You've misunderstood. I am saying he is at fault and should have gone. Both him, the players and the management of the club have made mistakes and the first one to pay the price is inevitably the manager. 

[Wooderson]

Maureen for Castle Greyskull.

[The Nal]

Pep out. Carlo in.

[kaosmark2]

How long until klopp is under pressure? 

[DomDom1984]

Quite some time I'd imagine.

[The Nal]

This time next year. Its not his squad.

[Wooderson]

Klopp under no pressure till he's spent 300 million.
