Re: The Football Chat Thread : Fri Nov 12, 2010 1:16 pm  
The word currently doing the rounds in some quarters is explosive: that Carlo Ancelotti's days at Stamford Bridge may be numbered. Specifically, they say, they are numbered to the last day of the season: after which a club from the north with lots of cash would like to put a proposition to him. Thus, Chelsea are already looking towards next season.

There is speculation within the corridors of Cobham that Pep Guardiola and his Barcelona management team are being tentatively lined-up to replace Ancelotti's outfit, and that Emenalo may be promoted to assistant to perform a supervisory role like Grant previously did when Jose Mourinho was boss.

Can't say I believe a word of it, but you never know.

For me, if Citeh were going to pull off a coup like that, they'd be heading to Real Madrid and trying to get Mourinho to move to them after taking his 3rd CL.

Us going for Guardiola would also be a massive risk. He's done well at Barca, but being successful at Barca for a few seasons doesn't mean he's got the management skills to be able to cope with a job like ours. Without the goodwill that he has at Barca, without the ready made superstars to play their expansive game he could truly crash and burn at another club.

Re: The Football Chat Thread : Fri Nov 12, 2010 1:36 pm  
City will replace Mancini, but only if fails to achieve a CL place. Perhaps this is just a case of contingency planning being leaked.

There's nothing in the article that satisfactorily explains Wilkin's departure. If Ancelotti is leaving Chelsea you would expect them to hang on to Wilkins to hold the reins whilst a new manager is appointed. If Maldini is replacing Wilikns you would expect both announcements to be made at the same time. Why sack Wilkins in advance?

Sounds like rubbish to me.

He's been injured for the best part of three years. What should he have done: played on his crutches?

Do you think he'd have a chance currently?

Depends how fit he is. He played for about 5 mins against West Ham last year and in those 5 mins displayed a better reading of the game and passing ability than any of our midfield players.

He's supposed to be going through the same sort of phase as Hargreaves at the moment. The injury's cleared up but he's picking up the hamstring strains and other niggling injuries. He might benefit from an extended run in the reserves or a short loan spell when he's fully fit.

If he does regain fitness he would certainly fit nicely into our line up. Just what we're missing in midfield.

Me: I'm still reeling from the news that someone is considering watching the 1st and 3rd game on Saturday and NOT watching Warrington play. It's like being in Shea Stadium when the Beatles came to town and deciding to nip out for a fag.


knockersbumpMKII: Is it FOOK, you're good but you're not THAT good, jesus you wanky fans need to get over yourselves, Beatles at the Shea in '65 was a once in a lifetime opportunity for some (despite the following years performance), you can watch a very good team in primrose & yellow play every week if you really wanted to but comparing it to one of the very best music groups of all time in an iconic stadia such as the shea is overegging your importance, you're not even the best team in SL atm

I didn't realise being a fat was an injury.
