Chelsea sack Scolari

[Kovu]

Chelseas manager record is almost as dire as towns now. They need the Special one back.

Thats 8 Premiership Managers sacked this Season. Zola being touted for the Chelsea job.

I will never figure out the mentality of club chairmen

The name on the manager's door there is written in chalk. It shows the mammoth pressure heaped on managers in the Premiership when a man like him who's survived in the hot house atmosphere of Brazil and won major tournaments gets the union jack here.

 

[Kovu]

Some chairmen are not too bad. Ours isnt.
But I don't like Chelsea as there seems to be too much pressure on them, even though they are doing decent.

They can keep their effing hands off Zola, he's all right where he is

McLaren would be ideal, a clueless self-gratification artist working for a whole bunch of clueless self-gratification artists.

he'd be mad to take it. isn't this is first job in management?

Quite right.

Zola is in an ideal place as a rookie manager, with a team who regard a season without being involved in a relegation dogfight as good and a cup run as excellent. He is doing well at West Ham, not too much pressure and his methods are working for the club. At Chelsea the pressure would be enormous, and unless he won at least the title probably short lived.

Hiddink's agent was on the radio saying that his man is committed to Russia.

hahahahahahah

here's a thought though...the nuclear option. Rijkaard. You can imagine Rijkaard arriving and Drogba leaving the same day.

Russian storm hits London.Told you so last week.

A scholarly post if ever there was one...

AV vs Chelsea match (couple of weeks away?) could be very interesting

O'neill---Will finish up at Man Utd. The guy is just brilliant in a very quiet way.No Rafa's no Keegan's.Just gets on with it silently.He has got class and pedigree.Look how he handled the Barry fiasco.Spent next to nothing and look where they are.

Why is it that when a top team fails to win against one of the unfashionable clubs, they panic like mad and start issuing P45s?

Well done Tigers! I look forward to Benitez's sacking in April.
