Brodge until the end of the season?

It is an amazing story. He just seems to be a lad that has an instant impact, and very shortly pisses off loads of people, including eventually his players.

Pity.. i was hoping he would last the season and have the ultimate humiliation of been involved in the relegation dogfight..

Ah bugger, they'll get in someone who is not a jackass like Jurgen Klo . . . oh.

Damn. You mightn't, probably don't, like him but the Premier league is a much duller place without him.

AZOffaly · December 17, 2015, 03:20:02 PM

I don't think it's duller, or if it is, it's a better kind of dull. I'm all for characters, but I think he was acting like a dick, so I won't be sorry if he doesn't come back to the Premier League again.

Martin O'Neill as interim?

I'd say Chelsea's results will improve from here on in.... Can't see Brendan coming in

Terry may step in for a bit

The Guardian saying that Hidink is the one lined up to take Chelsea until the end of the season

general_lee · December 17, 2015, 03:53:03 PM

They can have van Gaal. I'd love Jose at Utd

On the surface, this is insane! If anyone has earned a chance to overcome a loss of team form, its Mourinho! They're turning into Real Madrid - bring in a manager, throw tonnes of money and star players at him, watch him win or come close to winning trophies, and at the first sign of trouble, out the door!

Since Mourinho last time, we've had Grant, Ancellotti, Hiddink, Benitez, Villas Boas, Scolari and Matteo. The only ones who didn't win a significant trophy and could be labeled failures were Villas Boas and, especially, Scolari. Grant won nothing, but lost a Champions League final and his job due to a John Terry slip. But all have been shipped out the door fairly unceremoniously. I guess Chelsea is the place to go if you want to add a trophy or a final to your CV, but its not a place where you'll be allowed to build anything significant. But then again, its going that way for most teams, minus the trophy part.
