I didn't think Pep was coming either. RA wanted him and is a big fan, but the next guy has a free pass as Rafa's replacement and will be welcomed (even Avram Grant )
Klopp/Laudrup/Clarke/Simeone/Deschamps or the exes Ancelotti/Jose/Scolari(doubtful)/Hiddink off the top of my head, but could be anyone and I doubt the Chelsea fans will be that fussed.

I doubt Mourinho would go to AC Milan. He still obviously, has a lot of love for Inter and has spoken very frequently on his desire to come back to the EPL. I think Chelsea fans will get what they want and Mourinho will return to them - because RA will find there's not many other top managers avaliable (now that Pep's gone to Bayern, Ancelotti looks safe at PSG) and won't have much choice. Especially in light of RB's record - a good away record but a dire home one; and a irrepairable relationship with Chelsea fans.

Plus, Mourinho has said he'd like to resume his duels with SAF before he retires, and I doubt as someone who has admiration for SAF and United would ever go to City. However, I doubt Ronaldo is coming to Chelsea - he's already stated he wants see out his current contract which lasts until 2015, and Ronaldo would probably go back to United if he left RM. FMs are right though Pellegrini is worth considering. He's doing very well with an aging Malaga team and did well with RM in La Liga several years back. The only trouble is, he hasn't got the best European record - and that's why, perhaps RA won't consider him.

He is doing very well with Malaga in Europe, qualifying from the group stage, and facing a winable game against Porto in the next round, so they could go further than his former club of Real this season!
Not tooo shabby a record that!

True Forgot about that. Malaga did top their group - something Real failed to do

Ba to start this evening!

Good! Can see him getting a goal tonight. Im hoping for a comfortable win this evening!

Humm Fernando on the bench, something that he should get used to me thinks!

Hope he stays there too

Well lets hope Ba gets a few goals this evening

It's BA TIME!!!!!!!

Southampton's young LB is a Chelsea supporter?

Interesting.

Chelsea playing on the counter again tonight, we are breaking well. Ba does hold the ball up and find a player doesnt he!

Commentators bigging him up and trying to sell him to CFC already!

(a young gareth bale!)

Cole out in the summer, Shaw is his replacement if/when Southampton get relegated?

Depends how well he does when we loan him out for 3-4 years.....


Ramires + Lampard is looking as bad as it's ever done.

Does anyone have a link for a good stream? The stream ive been using lately is dire!

lampard has chosen not to take 2 shots on now

Ba looks lively

This one is OK. Not the best picture, but it doesn't cut out as much as the others.

Much better, thanks dude

This game is settling into a usual CFC match.

Poor in midfield, should move Luiz up. Slow tempo, no real attacks from either team

S'ton will nick a goal and cfc will crumble again as they park the bus

Ba!

1-0 Chelsea. This fellow is just what we need.

Good finish Demba, Torres must be hating this, bargain!

Well lets hope it finally makes Torres buck his ideas up a bit.
