Villas Boas (EX) Chelsea manager

[Baracus]

Probably the greatest manager to ever live.

There's no guarantee that he'd do well working with a cunt like Abramovic.

This should be interesting. He's not even players choice and he's younger than most of the big ego's.

[Gibbo]

Well ****, there goes one of my bets. I shook hands with a chelsea fan that we would finish above them.
1 Tenner down.

Heard about this on the radio this morning and i was hoping he would turn them down.

Premeirship just got that little bit more interesting.

I agree with this, I have a feeling the league could be a lot better this year.

[Norbs]

We can't even hope that Joey Barton breaks his leg to keep him out for the season

[Mostar]

This one came from nowhere and very good move for Chelsea. I can see him bringing at least 2 in Falcao, Hulk and Moutinho for next season.

As long as he doesn't make a move for Clarke.

He'll be sacked when they don't win the CL in a couple of seasons.

It'll certainly be interesting to see how much control he gets over transfer and managerial decisions rather than just the coaching side. I have a feeling that most of Chelsea's big summer targets have already been decided. But if he can go for some of his old players I wouldn't be too worried about Falcao or Hulk joining, Hulk particularly just plays like Milan Baros on steroids.

Villas Boas who gives a ****. We have King kenny

The plot thickens...

[Mattshark]

There is little on Sky on this and nothing on the BBC. Just talk at the moment.

I say as a BBC article comes up!

Probably the greatest manager to ever live.

I hope that was said with your tongue firmly lodged in your cheek.

An exciting prospect, no more no less.

[spud_gun]

It'd be interesting to see what happens if he get's off to a poor start next season or indeed if they have a 'transition' season. Will Roman show patience? An appointment like this has to be for the long term.

Of course, the hype is absolutely ridiculous. And as good as last season was for him I still think most of it is because he's Portuguese and at Porto.

[Shaggy]

All that crap from journos on Twitter, like gob****e know-nothings like Ben Smith and many others saying "biggest open secret in football is van Basten & Hiddink to Chelsea".

Fascinating appointment.

****! Of course, and there were rumours very recently about them wanting to entice him back, Clarke may have a decision to make very soon, i can imagine them seeing him as the perfect guide to English football for Boas as he gets settled into the Premiership.
