[kj] It's not Avram Grant anymore ... (OT)

[pssyche23]

If only Drogba played like Mark Hughes !!! (ie. took all sorts of punishment without letting it easily known that he was hurt) ... a Hughes/Zola partnership would be extremely well received by the supporters (myself included) but I suspect the the club hierarchy are looking for a more seasoned and successful CV ...

  my understanding was that the person ideally seen to replace Jose was not available and so they remained with him last summer in the vain hope that the differences would settle down. Grant was initially hoped to be an interface but was seen as a temporary replacement to get to this point where the ideal candidate would be possibly available.

  The awarding of the extra contract was a PR exercise to settle players and the media.

  This therefore puts a tint on some of the potential choices. rijkaard would be a potential target who would not be potentially available till this summer.

  Deschamps has been aproached but could have been employed last summer which puts him in a runners up slot. Sven is suddenly available again. Laudrup doesnt really light up the sky and Hiddink isnt interested.

  I'd love Hughes and a Zola partnership, and Hughes has done well with limited resources but has the strength to deal with the likes of a Drogba. Hughes has a passion with Chelsea thats clear to see when hes on the TV and Zola has been giving soundbites for a while now that would signal that he's going to be here one day.

  i still cant get into wearing replica shirts though.
