Lil Wayne Wraps ‘Tha Carter IV,’ Announces Release Date

[Switchy]

What makes me laugh is all the papers saying "Get Mourihno out" when he was having a bad run and as son as he's gone they all want him back. If there isn't Rjikaard there's always Steve McLaren

 

[Wrestling Station]

what about Van Basten? Im not a huge fan of him being Netherland's manager, but still he is an option.

 

[Switchy]

I wouldn't say so. He doesn't seem the "Chelsea type" but then again neither does Avram. I eckon they should get the best manager in league 1, Bristol Rovers very own Paul Trollope. It'd be an improvement

 

[phantomgerald]

^^^ Grant can't even control his players. if he stays, alot of them will leave. I think the best option now would be Hiddink if he wants to manage a club, either that or Capello doing England and Chelsea.

 

[Wrestling Station]

I dont like Capello's tactics and its not a watchable thing for me lol

 

[phantomgerald]

^^^Who cares? Chelsea's team isn't meant to be playing beautiful football. WIth the exception of maybe Alex who has to be one of the most fancy center defender I've seen. Drogba is meant to just muscle his way into goal, Anelka the 6 foot tap ins, Lampard the rebound scorer and Essien the mammoth tackler. We just need to constantly win and I'll be happy.
