Title: Chelski
Post by: magic8ball on Wednesday, June 11, 2008, 20:28:44
Scolari taking over as manager on the 1st July.

Strange time to announce it right in the middle of the Euros.

Think he'll do well though.

 Should be interesting one, not sure he is a sure bet.  Very little experience of managing at club level in this part of the world, his only previous club management is south america or out in asia.  I really thought Roman would approach Rijkard so quite surprised.

Certainly explains why he was telling Ronaldo to join Madrid i suppose

I think he's a good manager, but:

a) He can't speak a word of English

b) Is unproven in top level European football

The same could be said for Avram Grant. He didn't do to bad.

Scholari's on to a loser, the only thing that will be acceptable to Abramovich is the Champions League and I can't see Chelsea winning it. Still, nice payoff next summer............

I wonder how many Portuguese players he'll be able to take to Chelsea?

Deco for sure methinks...

Based purely on his flirtations with the England job I think he's a money grabbing 'spic cunt and I hope he fails miserably  8)

Funny how he couldn't face the English press and wanted to wait till after the Championships for England, but when the roubles start flowing those concerns are brushed aside.

Anyway, Deco to Chelsea looks like a safe bet.

i can't stand Deco, the lightweight diving little ponce, and I can't think of a team he'd fit into better than Chelski.  I hope they reinforce their position as the most considerate lovers in the EPL - by always coming second, no matter what they enter.

Whoever gets Deco will be getting an absolute steal. He's only 30.

Money grabbing git

Deco would be a top signing barring his antics. Apparently chelsea are after Kaka, Quaresma and David Villa i saw on Spanish tv the other day.
