Chelsea look at Poyet & Zola

[Hyperion]

In todays Independent. Big 2 page spread.

Ambramovich is sniffing about then

 

[ali jenkins]

He will be mad to employ either of them. It needs a big name AND someone who can deliver on the pitch. Something that neither Poyet or Zola have done yet, not at the highest level.

The story kind of eluded to Chelsea needing a football identity and bringing in someone that players will respect. So the obvious conclusions I guess

2, actually.

It's only speculation, the independent haven't spoken with abramovic, so it's only the same as we see on here every week.

Thought Conte from Juventus was the guy being lined up

Laudrup is the bookies favourite, makes much more sense than Poyet.

Would expect Swansea to move for poyet if this happens and poyet be off like a shot

Di Matteo?

Which is why neither will touch it with a barge pole while Abramovich is there. If Rafa is sacked they will have got rid of 4 out of the last 7 CL winning managers. A joke of a club with John freaking Terry as captain too. A few year down the line maybe.

Don't be stupid, either of them would jump at the chance.

This is just a comment/opinion piece though and contains no direct quotes from anyone at Chelsea. Poyet won't even be on their shortlist so it's not worth worrying about in any case.

depends if terry will accept anyone first

 

[Stat Brother]

Lazy journo's being lazy.

Nothing new to see here, move along everybody.

Er, Jose is 4/5 fav, stick to letters not numbers

You have lost the plot. Are you seriously saying that poyet would turn down his dream job because of a trigger happy owner. There are very few managers in the world who would not take the chelsea job. Gus would snap RA hand off if the opportunity came up

Why would Chelsea get rid of Di Matteo for Gus?

Di Matteo, hardly any managerial experience, but used to play for Chelsea

Gus, more managerial experience, used to play for Chelsea. It isn't a huge leap to see why Abramovich (how many spellings of his name will we get on this thread) would go for him.

RDM had managed in the Prem before going to Chelsea. As for GP, if Chelsea are serious about producing a team that have an ethos of attacking over caution then perhaps GP isn't the man they want.

Was going by reports on the radio.....

Seems that we have a new manager according to Sky news
