Chelsea sack scolari

[Craig_H]

Money, hope he would get the job full time - why not?

I just had him down as having more integrity and belief in himself as a coach, than to go for a 'mind the shop' kind of role.

[-V-]

Sounds like they are bringing Avram Grant back on short term till end of the season. Chelsea are hilarious

[-V-]

hiddink-

bollocks i just put a tenner on him about 30 mins ago

Actually that bet looks good now.

Hiddink says he is in talks with Chelsea

[-V-]

So basically Hiddink will do the Chelsea job till the end of the season and same time continue in his Russian role.

Looking at his managerial record he seems overrated. Never really thought about it before but other than his success with PSV and a decent effort with Korea in the world cup he hasn't done anything else. I don't think he won anything with Valencia? Madrid sacked him after 1 season and Betis sacked him quickly too

Depends, if hes named "permanent" manager till the end of season it is, if he's named "caretaker" or "temporary" then you wont be getting paid unless he takes over properly in the summer.

Nah i don't think so, the market said next manager and not whether it was permanent or temporary. The caretaker is Wilkins.

If Hiddink accepts the 4 month contract then he is the manager regardless. A short term contract or long term contract, its still the same official title.

Anyway i have £13 at odds 7.5 and now £35 at 2.3 so that will do me

[Chris]

You must have an amazing bookie because most, betfair included wont be paying out if Chelsea announce "We have appointed Guus Hiddink as caretaker manager till the end of the season"

[-V-]

Chelsea won't be announcing that though. They have already said that Wilkins is the caretaker manager until they find the next manager. Like i said it doesn't matter if Hiddink signs a short term or long term deal, he will still be appointed Manager

Im not talking about short term or long term for crying out loud. The Wilkins thing is irrelevant because it was announced as soon as Scolari was sacked so doesnt affect any market.

If Chelsea announce "We've appointed Guus Hiddkink as manager till the end of the season" you'll get paid out.

If Chelsea announce "We've appointed Guus Hiddink as TEMPORARY manager till the end of the season" you wont be. Thats the rules.

Manager markets are based on PERMANENT managers, if its announced as temporary, interim, caretaker, you wont get anything. The market will remain open.

[Craig_H]

I think Chris is right here. In fact, even if they announce it as 'til the end of the season', i dont think the bookies will be forthcoming with a payout.

Them saying 'til the end of the season', by definition, would not be considered a permanent appointment, i dont think.

I bet Roman has had a word and will make things tougher for Guus in Russia if he doesnt comply

correct both of you - chris and craig i mean permanent manager it is

but if he takes it he will keep it im sure

i do rate hiddink highly in fact if rafa...

oh no best no

Ladbrokes have paid out on Hiddink already

Lol!

Abramovich, who agreed a £7.1m severance package with Scolari on Tuesday night, will match Hiddink's £100,000-a-week wages he earns for coaching Russia. (Various)

**** me the world has actually gone mad. The price of failure eh?
