Chelsea done deal apparently

I'm a big admirer of Don Fabio since he began to win everything with my Rossoneri giants in the 1992, 1993 and 1994.
I really fear with him Chelski could become a serious rival for title next season!

This has Scolari Mk 2 written all over it.

Far too headstrong for Abramovic.

Could go either way I reck. He's clearly got pedigree, England notnecessarilywithstanding.

Strong player power at Chelski though.Will they take to him. After the AVB debacle, makes you wonder (well me anyway) whether they have had a say in this one, maybe given the heads up at a possible, resulting in a 'yeah we'll deal with that one' and then Abramovic would sign him. He can't afford to drop another bollock, he's been shit at cards since he sacked Ancelotti, for me.

No way ? Surely not ?

Fucking hell.

I don't see player power being a problem for him at Chelski. Not with the backing he gave Terry with the NT.

The two main problems at Chelsea are Lampard (first) and Terry (close second) - Cole is a fewking sheep. Whoever takes over, assuming they last their full contract and assuming it's two years or more, will probably wave goodbye to at least Lampard. I wouldnt be surprised to see Lampard offered a coaching role at Chelsea within a couple of seasons personally (and certainly wouldnt be surprised to see him groomed as a future Chelsea manager). Capello as far as I know has decent relationships with both those players but is he too authoritarian for 'player power' Chelsea?

Di Matteo --> Liverpool then.

His problem will be with Abramovic rather than his players, and over transfer policy rather than selection policy and tactics.
