I reckon it will be Hiddink and it will be anounced when Russia are knocked out of the euros (match day 3 )

As you have crossed out Jose, does that mean he's 100% out of it?

Yes, but the bookies will still take your money, so go waste it if you want.

What's up with the Rafa-Arse/n-Fergie options? That's not even funny, mate!

p.s. I am with Hiddink!

Other than the small sky sports article, is there confirmation anywhere else?

Waste your money then

The odds were taken of 'oddschecker' no bookies are offering prices for them.

Maybe we should have a few quid on it ?

my bet is on Mancini..

put I hope jose will come back

My money would be on Hiddink.

Unfortunately, I think Rijkarrd will be next Chelsea manager.

A different take on the unspeakable. I think the answers would be fairly predictable, but still. Out of the three above, who would you least hate to see as Chelsea manager? In order, mine would be:

1. Ferguson

2. Wenger

3. Benitez

Russia will last longer then that....

I think it will be Frank Rijkaard, but I pray to God I'm wrong.

Not because he's a bad manager, not at all, but because of his days with Barcelona.

I think we'll get Hiddink, or Mancini. However, more likely to be Hiddink as he's not as defensive as Mancinni and he coached the Russian national team

As a bet it would be Gus, but Hughes at 9's is tasty.

Lofty I don't know if I can answer that.

I'd put money on JM's return

My CHOICE would be Stevie Clarke.

I THINK it will be Rijkaard. Which frankly i think would be successful.

I DREAD...Sven!!!!

Jose is a no no.

Its not Jose

Its not Hiddink - http://www.sportinglife.com/football/news/...l&TEAMHD=soccer

As speculation on the new manager continues, a few special names have been pulled out of the hat.

Jose has ruled himself out | http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_3610367,00.html

Sven is on his way to Mexico | http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528, ... 08,00.html

"We already know what the Mexican FA are looking for - we'll accept their terms if they call us again," Padilla told Mexican newspaper La Jornada from Manchester.

"If the Mexican FA decide to take him, he will be their coach and the Mexican national team will be his number one choice"

Hiddink has been ruled out | http://www.sportinglife.com/football/ne ... MHD=soccer

"There's no way Guus will go to Chelsea," he said in the Times.

"It's not an option and has never been. Guus is the coach of Russia and will stay until the World Cup of 2010."

That leaves us with 3 big names.

Lippi

Rijkaard

Mancini

and if d'Artagnan accompanies, as the legend has it, then an 'other'

Personally, I'd take Lippi, as would most on the forum.

Who'd you put your money on?

Rijkaard or Hughes is the likely outcome .

the rumours are fast and furious at the moment

jose coming back if he gets complete control

hughes and zola as his assistant (i quite like the idea of that one)

then we also linked to just about anyone that's been a football manager in the last few years

i thought when avram departed there would have already been someone lined up, and they would have been bought into the hot seat straight away

maybe roman should get out of his executive suit and have a proper go at managing for a few months, then who ever replaces him will be left alone to get on with football properly (thats what me wife said)

Hughes? I doubt he will deliver the League
