Hiddinck will be temporary then guardiola in the summer imo.
Guardiola won't last one single season there.

I agree, though given that no other club seem that keen, why would Chelsea want him?
I don't think it is a disgraceful decision to be honest.
I've never seen a team get more luck on their way to a CL win (and I include us in this) and I don't think he's a very good manager. If you want to stay at the top you have to be ruthless - they owe Di Matteo no loyalty.
To be fair, at that club, it was to be expected wasn't it? He embarrassed them in the last 3 games of the champions league, and won it by accident, their form has been on and off this season, they're pretty much straight out of the champs league at the first hurdle, he's not got a clue tactically, and he was only given a one year contract after 'winning' the champions league. If all that wasn't a sign a sign that he was going to get the push at the earliest opportunity then I don't know what is.
With a decent manager (like one of the ones they've had in the past) and the russian crook's unlimited chequebook, they really should be dominant in this league, and the champions league.
I hate to think where they would be now, with the money they've spent, if they'd have kept mourinho. Thank god they didn't.
Mourinho can turn a club into a pariah. In fact, he seems to seek to bathe himself and his club in trouble.
There is none of that with Guardiola. He nurtured Barcelona’s reputation and its history.
So it is of little surprise that as Guardiola approaches the half way point of his sabbatical from the game, everybody wants him. He is the king across the water.
The perception, at least, is that Guardiola can bring more than mere success.
He can bring beauty, too. He can make a club not just respected but admired. He can make a club loved.
Yeah it was quite embarrassing for the club winning the CL without playing very well....
I think for the money he's spent, their owner was expecting a little bit of a better performance. Most teams that win the champions league, usually have played quite well during the final stages to win it. They did not, the owner was not happy, now the gaffer got the sack. Simples.
I still don't get the hype with guadiola
He won stuff with some of the best performers of this generation. He then started buying players and they went a little iffy.
The money who's spent though? I'd be a bit dubious about whether many transfers there are fully attributable to the manager.
Sorry, yes, I meant the russian crook when I said money he's spent. I wonder what % of players they've bought under his ownership have actually been a request from the manager and not just a present for them.
I hate this, "he won it by accident" thing. They got there and played a shit load of games to get there. They might not have performed in a few matches, but they rode their luck and got some good results too.
We should know about that better than anyone.
So Rafa waits and waits and waits for the perfect long-term project and then goes for a job that has 'short-term' stamped through it like a stick of Blackpool rock. It's nuts on top of nuts. It's nuts on fucking stilts.
