Reports in Portugal say Chelsea have paid Porto boss Villas Boas' €15m release clause and will appoint him under Hiddink as Dir of Football.

That should be a great appointment for Chelsea. I'm disappointed he isn't staying at Porto for another season mind, it would have been good to watch that side under him playing in the Champions League.

He's got a bloody good record.
Won three trophies last season and is just 33.

And who would his first game in the Premier League be against..?
Do we have a habit of getting teams when a new manager is installed or is it just my imagination..?

It's scary thinking that he's only 12 years older than myself and achieved loads in football already. Arguably the best young manager in the world

How old is Guardiola?
Also, how many Chelsea players will be older than the manager? ;D

13+ million for a manager is pathetic.  Especially for a club which will sack him before he can build a team. Chelsea, the Real Madrid of England. |

It's utterly insane. One bad year after Carlo won them the double and he got sacked If I was a manager, I'd turn Chelsea down unless I had it written into my contract that I was given two years minimum to build my own team, stamp my philosophy on the club with a view to a third year. If the board wanted to sack me, they'd have to pay me £10mill Fuck them  |
