Razors left peg

I would love to see Mark Hughes get the job, Dont rate Rijkaard and I think Hughes has done a fantastic job with Blackburn and deserves a shot with a big club

I doubt he would get it. Abromovich will want someone with a bigger profile and European experience.

I'm so lazy my main ambition would be to get knocked out in the group stages and pick up my compensation by Christmas. Nothing says Happy Birthday Jesus like a guy with a blasphemous name eating turkey on a beach in Jamicia in December :)

I think it's going to be Riijkard (sp?). Roman wants attractive football and his teams do seem to play that. I don't know whether he'll be able to do a good job though or even get them playing attractive football as they'd need different personnel. If it's not Riijkard it could be Ancellotti. I think they're the two most likely (should Ancellotti lose his job).

Anyone but Rijkaard...

.

If a big name manager comes in next season and they finish 2nd by two points and lose the CL final on penalties would it be fair to say then it was evident he wasn't a top class manager?

No he was the brawn. Rijkaard was definitely the brains. No doubt that Frank was the main man. Fabulous manager who doesn't get the credit he deserves.

I think he's a decent manager and am surprised when some people say that he's a useless manager, but I do think Ten Cate was the main guy behind Barca's revival. Since Ten Cate has left, Barca have stopped dominating and Real Madrid have taken over once again. Perhaps it's just a coincidence though.

I'm not saying they weren't a good team, and better together but from my reading of player interviews etc Ten Cate was the "hairdryer" type and Rijkaard was motivational and technical. Him going was a loss, but I think Rijkaard would've been a bigger loss. I think most teams have a course and barca had run theirs. so there's a definitely a touch of coincidence in it for me

Ten Cate sacked now.

With all the changes at Chelsea (and more still to come) I can't see them winning any of the major trophies next season.

Scolari named as Chelsea manager

Nicely done. It might mean that Carvalho stays.

Has Scolari any club European managerial experience ? Interesting choice.

Strange time to publicly name him as manager. Should they not have waited until after the Euro's to announce it??

He doesn't. He only began managing in Europe with Portugal in 2002. Before that he managed Brazil and in the Brazilian league.

That's what I thought too. It seems a bit odd but clearly Scolari has allowed them to announce it.

I presume anything less than a Premier League and Champions League double will see him sacked
