Their sideways passing will be second to none.

Can we call him "Butch" Wilkins again now?

Never underestimate the power of the bedsheet.

looks like stantier2 spent too much time dining with puressence

I can't see them giving it Wilkins with them still in Europe

Smacks of desperation. Wonder if this is because Roman is trying to sell his shiny toy and it's fast losing its lustre?

Jamie Redknapps a part of the chelsea set up now.Maybe its his time to show us what he can do.

snatch zola and steve clarke from west ham maybe

They'll offer it to Zola again.

Bloke at work reckon he heard this two weeks ago.

Funny, no one remembers him mentioning until now

Hughes was a leading contender in the summer maybe his time has come.

If they have any sense at all, they'll try very hard to do this. But if Zola has any sense, he'll turn it down. They've fired 3 managers in less than two years.

edit - he looks more like Gene Hackman than ever now.

don't be silly

O'Neill?

Wonder what Villa would do then

While that continues Assistant Coach Ray Wilkins will take charge of the team on a temporary basis.

square ball, ray!




re scolari - not exactly a shock, tbh...

i got a load of flack for saying it three months ago but nothing i've seen has changed my mind. it's one thing to manage a squad of players in a two-week summer tournament, or through intermittent qualifying games. it's quite another to cope with the kind of long packed season that united and chelsea have.

Can you believe that they want Grant back?
