HIDDINK HEADS FOR BLUES

Hiddink is obviously an excellent candidate, however Chelsea need some stability and development if they are to progress. Frank Rijkard would be a better bet, unless, of course Abramhovic could be persuaded to swallow his pride and ego and bring back the best manager Chelsea ever had. Yes , Mourinho.

fantastic news!
please sack grant asap. all true chelse fans wait for this moment for so long. only his departure would fully allow us to identify with our loved club again,

According to a latest of Chelsea fans between winning the Premiership or getting rid of Avram Grant the majority favoured the sacking of Grant ahead of winning the title!

The sooner the TOAD goes the better.
Obviously Roman will not listen to the fans, otherwise he would bring back JM, but Hiddink is a good choice, but I can not see Hiddink listen or have any time for the Toad if he stays as director of football, maybe his obsession with connes will make him change the colour to blue.
Get rid of the toad rather than lose our players.

why do so called chelsea fans complain week after week about Avram Grant when he has done a fantastic job for their little club?.nobody else could have done any better than grant.lets face truths here chelsea are hardly a big club when compared to man utd,arsenal,liverpool throwing money at a club and hoping does not make a big club after all blackburn tried that a number of years ago.yes they won the premiership a couple of times but they are punching above their weight.take abromovichs money away watch them freefall.in conclusion thinking you are a big club does not make you a big club just ask leeds utd

i like hiiim! So he's not flamboyant, as controversial, as colourful or as big mouthed as Mourhino was, but he's producing results with exactly the same team tha Mourhino wasn't able to at the start. credit has to be given to Grant for keeping the blues in the title hunt at the squeeky bum end of the season. This is Mourhino's team, Grant just added to it to improve his prospects with no where near as enough money as mourhino spent. Why do you want Mourhino back - the sel proclaimes special one who invented boring boring football.. when the going was easy he got tough and got results at a time when manchester united and arsenal were not on song. but when manchester united won their league title for a 9th time he gave up - and spent 30million on rubbish players.. so why you want mourhino back is beyond me.

Ne'er the less GLORY GLORY MANCHESTER UNIIIITED -

WE WILL END YOUR 4 YEAR UNBEATEN HOME RECORD.. WE ARE THE TRUE RECORD BREAKERS.. BE PREPARED TO SHED TEARS AS WE DO A LAP OF HONOUR AROUND YOUR PITCH FOR OUR FANS... "WE WON IT TEN TIMES, WE WON IT TEN TIMES!!"

If Chelsea win any of the competitions they are in Grant should go anyway, he's not up to the challenge of big games even if they are against small teams (Barnsley). The dressing room is becoming a place where the players are feelin the heat instead of the calmness that a manager should be instilling in them. Frank Rijkard for coach!

Guus was the best trainer we have ever had here at psv eindhoven,take him on at chelsea and you will get results,he is head and shoulders above Rijkaard

we have had guus at eindhoven twice,he knows his job,and will get results at chelsea(no doubts what so ever) he his a class above rijkaard

At least Hiddink has 3 key qualities that AG doesn't possess. he's won things, known to be a top tactician and probably does have another big club job in him. Supposed to be hard on players (no bad thing) and won't have any messing about. Bring him on I say ... or is this yet another tabloid piece of dream work??

I think all of you British fans are dumb. You can't wait for your team to lose the trophys and you continue mucking GRANT for the cash ROMAN gives him... all of you people are pathethic - 5 years ago you were a boring club with nothing to show - everything you won since than is not becouse of your blue blood and not becouse of the Speciel one (I must say he IS a good coach but he took it to far with the BOSS). Anyway - stop crying every week like little girls - you are not a football fan but a rabish tabloisds fan. it's a shame

It's hard to have even an ounce of sympathy for Chelsea fans. How do you take them seriously given their mass obsession for Chelsea to fail, just so they can see Avram Grant get sacked. It's laughable!

Over the past few months, when Chelse have gone on a great run of results, their fans exclaim it's all because of the players. However, after one of their very rare losses, or even draw, then it's all down to Avram Grant, and absolutely nothing to do with the players.

Chelsea fans' loyalty to their ex-manager, and not their club, has been one of the most nonsensical highlights of this season.

I really do look forward to the day when Roman tires of all these Chelsea fans' whingeing & moaning, takes his money out of the club, and duly sends them back to fighting relegation where they rightly belong.

Bring on Guus asap,Chelski fans, and start longing for AG.
The man produced better percentage than the Special One (a fact)
He'll win one of the two (the Champions) in spite of Drogba and others sabotaging the club.
He should kick Chelski goodbye.
Guus will not do better - on the contrary. He did well looooong ago with Dutch national.
Sir Alex and Arsene are not producing the same percentage as AG... That's a fact too. If not for the Special One's limping start Chelsea would have been 4 points ahead of Man U... think about it. JM's football was the opposite of attractive, so how come you miss the big mouth?

shame on all of u!!!i have been following grant for a long time due to the fact that i live in israel...chelsea is doing great with him and are having a brilliant season!!!!better than with any other manager!!!

sack grant , where is this style improvement he promised , 20% more style , when he took over , the team is running on autopilot since jose went , besided that point chelsea are only a small club , even sunderland have more titles , lets jump on the chelsea bus , just like alot did in the 80s , with the liverpool bus , remember their,s only 1 man u

Avram with fantastic results so far must go on chelsea he's very talented mananger and I hope that he will be in chelsea next year also.

Avram bring us the Champions league title!!!

Sack Grant. He's not up to the job and tears our fans apart. If Abramovich listens to our fans, he'll bring back The Special One, who is much better than Grant in any perspective. Guus Hiddink, however, would be also a decent choice, if his appointment came about. Grant is far from being given credit by the fans and is short of support by the players and the board. There is hardly anyone who wants him at Chelsea.

"The man produced better percentage than the Special One (a fact)

Percentage of what? the bloke doesnt even have his coaching badges...he's been sucessful with jose's team and jose's formation.

So stop talking nonsense you clowns.

True blue u r an idiot!!!!and a jerk...avram got the team in the middle of the season when they were ranked very low in the standings and the fact that with the same players he produced better results means he is a better manager!!!!

hiddink has'nt proved himself in a club, only
in national teams. AG is doing well enough, CL
title is closer than ever... give the man a break!

give a g a break s f champons l 2nd in prem not 2 bad he still go at end of season

Hidding has brought PSV to the semi-finals of the CL and missed the final by a hair ('04-'05). Not bad for a club with 10% of Chelsea's budget..He's one of the world's top coaches, no doubt!

i hope we are not going to just stand back and let Jose take Sidwell,Wright-Phillips,Pizarro,Malouda,boularouz,Ben haim with him to his new club.These were inspired signings or was it Roman again!!!!.At least Avram can rest easy without the blame for those.Come on Chelsea!!!!.

Its not Grant who should go, its all the Johnny Come Lately's who claim to "support" MY great club. Get over yourselves. We are 2nd in the League and in with a great shout of the CL. If you need to beat someone with a stick then blame Kenyon. Also take a look in the mirror and ask yourselfs "Have I made enough noise at the ground this season"
Grant was not my choice for like 99.9% of our fans and I was gutted when JM was SACKED. But his gone....get over it and support the club (or better still, go and support Man Utd like all the other glory-hunters)

AG is much better then JM,when u consider it, as a person and as a manager,all u fans that are looking for grant's head are just as cocky and useless JM,PLZ Stop coming to these matches so we can finish this season with the title to let the real fans enjoy the success this year.

ag hasnt got what it takes to be a chelsea manager,pls stop comparing him with jm,that is an insult on jm personality,pls bring back jm and also get me barbaskill,i mean barbatov and quaresma.

please only comment if you are a real supporter of football, not a couch potato.

Grant must go, he is unqualified, inexperienced and simply not up to the job. Better record than Jose, how many titles has Grant won in proper football. Jose managed Porto & Chelsea to four league titles in four years. He also won Uefa Cup, Champions League, 2 English League Cup's & the FA Cup. 5 years unbeaten at home (for Porto & Chelsea). Grant is caretaker only, the sooner Roman sorts it the better.

All this talk of Chelsea not being a big club without RA's money makes me laugh.
Look at the stat's boys, 5th best supported club in England since records began (before the war), with over 40,000 average gate over 103 years in existance.

Hello there. I'm a football fan from Israel. I was never a fan from Avram, due to the simple fact that he only coached teams I hated in Israel.. But I simply can't understand the fact that some of you are so obsessed with Morinoh and with sacking Grant. Let's check the facts:
1) Results- When Morionoh quit, Chelsea were in deep trouble in the premier-leauge and had a bad start in champions league. Now they are in Champion's semi-final, hopped over Arsenal and are only 3 points from Man U.
2) Style- It's true, Grant's Chelsea doens't play truly thrilling football. Grant's teams never did. But it's much better than Morinioh's era!! Morionoh is the most defensive football coach ever, he got so many stars and still always played for those boring 1-0.

We'll have him back - in a heartbeat !!!!!!

YOU ARE NOT DESERVE TO AV GRANT!!!!!!!!

"please only comment if you are a real supporter of football, not a couch potato"

JM Fottball was boring as ever,the only big diffrent he brought 2 major tophies after RA gave him the money to do so
the real test is always the 3rd year look at barcelona this year look at zidane's real madrid in 3rd year
JM failed it this season until AG come 2 the rescue
They only reason for JM succss in porto r the marvalous players he had'like deco costinha R Carvalho Costa paulo ferriera they were there before morinho and morinho just bulid on that success just like AG is doing tis year only better

Avram great coach we want him next season after he will bring un the Champions League cup !!!

you will see great football from AG next year. like it or not :)

Funny how some people say that Hiddink didn't prove himself at a club yet, only at national teams. Forgot that Hiddink won the European Cup (now Champions League) with PSV in 1988? And the Intercontinental Cup with Real Madrid in 1998? He HAS proven himself at club level, most recently again at PSV with two Dutch League titles and a Champions League semi-final in 2004/2005.

As said before, his record at national teams is outstanding as well. World Cup semi-final with Holland in 1998 and South-Korea in 2002, and qualifying and reaching the 2nd round with Australia in 2006. Qualifying with Russia for Euro 2008 - admittedly with some luck - was not an easy feat either, considering England and Croatia were in the group as well.

For Chelsea, Hiddink is a very wise choice. He is an excellent manager, with a lot of international experience, a good track record and great coaching skills. Many players who have worked with Hiddink say that he is an excellent manager. To quote Mark Viduka: "He is definitely the best manager that I've worked with". That's just one player, many more say the same thing.

why get guus we need a new manager why not bring bk jose
