I think it's a bit early to be calling Ski McGee world class now!Originally Posted by gspain
I'd be worried that Abramovich will get in Capello and win everything in sight, but he'll probably stick with his old buddy Hiddink.

There were two at the Wales gameONE Tricolour ruined with "Chelsea" is more than sufficient thank you!

Yes stan is the man! Hed prob drop the whole first team buy uniteds second string and every time he loses a game says something like "im on track, its a four year learning curve" etc etc even if he went as a coach, we could get rid of him on the cheep instead of sacking him as an unqualified coach on €450,000 a year, jesus who gave this much sought after guy that
Ski McGee's Blue and White army. !!!!!!!!!!
My thoughts too. I think Hiddink is a likely candidate - RA clearly rates him (enough to pay him a big sum to manage Russia at any rate).
Him aside, I expect Chelsea will head-hunt a manager of an existing big club, rather than sticking to the unemployed and those at smaller clubs.
Why mention Robben? Why not Duff? Or do you think Robben was a striker? He wasn't.
Mourinho 100-1 to take over Irish team. Just heard on Sky Sports News, a family friend of Mourinho said he's definitely going back to Portugal to take up a role with the Portugese national team. Not as manager straight away but will lead to it eventually.
Life without Rovers, it makes no sense...it's a heartache...nothing but a fools game. S.R.F.C.
Capello is every bit as conservative as Mourinho hence the mad Russian (I give it six months before a tabloid calls him that) won't be interested
Don't be surprised to see Mancini shown the door at Inter over the next few months and Mourinho brought in to replace him, or maybe I'm just being a bit hopeful with that
I assume Chelsea think he's an unrealistic target.

Paying compensation for him with two years remaining on his contract would probably stretch even Abramovic alright.I assume Chelsea think he's an unrealistic target.
Agree 100% but seriously though you think he'd even consider it for a second?ONE Tricolour ruined with "Chelsea" is more than sufficient thank you!
Don't tell Ski! He's always been world class ( in his own head )

Horrible to watch i agree (when was the last time Ireland played 'total football') but cant really complain with what he's won over the last few years, obviously the blank cheque book did no harmNot another negative manager, please.
Scolari is suspended for 4 games & their campaign is seriously wobbling after conceding late equalisers in successive games last week.
Depends on how financially motivated he is. If the salary wouldn't bother him, it might look like an interesting challenge. Pretty unlikely though. Obviously we're not going to trade down from Stan.
mourinho to valencia?
i'm puttin money on that and i reckon atleti might have a look after the start they've had
Avram Grant has officially taken charge.

Not sure what to think of it right now. I would've preferred Ramos, Hiddink or Capello. As for Mourinho, well Scolari's contract expires after Euro 2008....... I wish him the best of luck.
As a real Chelsea fan, I remember the Glenn Hoddle/Gullitt years with pain, I'm concerned and confused.
Mourinho was a very good manager. His time at Leiria (top three with no money in Portugal where they have a Big Three (Porto, Benfica, Sporting) that is near impossible to break, Boavista being the only team outside those three to win it since 1946) showed his promise, at Porto (winning back to back titles, UEFA Cup and CL at a team that were seriously struggling when he came in) he fulfilled it and a Chelsea he did well (first title in 50 years, every domestic trophy in three years).
Yes, he didn't lead us to the CL but he was doing a good job and he shouldn't have been sacked. The players loved him and most of the fans loved him.
Last season, we stumbled in not retaining the title (which imo is infinitely times more important than the CL) but Man U had a very good season and we still got second place.
I don't think one draw in the CL and 5th in the league after one month deserves a sacking. Which leads me to believe the stories about boardroom trouble. I'm sure Arnesen and perhaps to some extent Grant himself were one of many problems.
I still think they should have stuck with him. Good managers work through tough patches, good clubs have faith in their managers. Stability is the key to continuous sucess. Look at Man U, Arsenal. I'm starting to fear we may become the next Blackburn, here one minute, gone the next and a mangerial revolving door or a Hearts situation won't help.
I do however think that talks of a crisis, as propelled by Dunphy on the news just there, are crap. They've moved quick to appoint a new manager and at least the players know him.
Also, I don't think they'll sink without a whimper on Sunday. Surely going to Old Trafford and getting jeered, as I'm sure those kind Mancunians will, ought to rile the players up no end. Well, here's hoping.
