Chelsea sack scolari

[Chris]

Ladbrokes have paid out on Hiddink already

They're only doing it as a "gesture", not every bookie will do exactly the same. You must be gutted you didnt bet with them!

Yep, it's the same as Fred Done paying out on Man Utd that season when they were miles ahead - and Arsenal ended up overturning it and winning the title

How can someone be "bitter" for repeating the bookmakers rules? Its not stuff im making up!

Ladbrokes would of taken barely any money anyway, namely because their odds are dire so done the old publicity scam, not every other bookie will be as generous, but as already said it depends on how Chelsea word their statement.

They're the only site who have done as far as I'm aware. Betfair certainly haven't

It is a tempting lay I must admit, 1.21? Madness!

All it needs is Chelsea to announce one of the words you mention and he'll probably go to evens straight away then green up.

Hope so. Don't think he's the type to break a contract so it'll only be temporary hopefully. Fingers crossed

Betfair is down. Typical.

Chelsea confirm Hiddink as coach

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/c/chelsea/7882667.stm

Chelsea have announced that Guus Hiddink will take over as temporary coach until the end of the season.

The Premier League club have revealed that the 62-year-old Dutchman will meet the players later this week.

"The club would like to take this opportunity to thank the Russian Football Union for their understanding and cooperation," said a statement.

More soon.

That fateful word has struck.

So he's NOT the 'next permanent Chelsea coach' and barring a serious bout of bookmaker generosity, anyone backing him under those terms has lost their bet.
