At the moment of those available I think my list is:

Lippi preferably with Zola - cv speaks for itself

O'Neill getting better results against the top 5 then us, though some were against Grant

Moyes - as his talent has improved so has his football and results, his players seem to like him and like O'Neill his teams usually play tight and disciplaned team style

funny I had wanted Deschamps and I think Le Guen ahead of Jose back then, so probably should ignore my list I suuppose, but now really not that high on either for us now...

and really don't want to see us turn into the Dutch version of Le Arse,., I think an English backbone is importent to maintain at Chelsea; if anything we need to get rid of the Dutch we already have in coaching and Senior managment, who I think have done more harm then good (note this is a specific complaint against those individuals as I love the Dutch peeps in general)

When exactly did Grant win you lot a CL title? Or take you to the finals two years after? Or when was the last time you won a CL to begin with?

Don't undermine our manager just because you have no faith in yours.

He also isn't letting us languish in 5th behind Everton. Or rotating his squad
9,684,338,126,348,978 times. Or buying unneeded strikers.

Look you tool, if you can't understand what the point was, why are you trying to have a debate about it.

I'd be happier if we got rid of Ten Cate and Arnesen along with Grant, all of whom berated and thought they could improve on Jose ball, not so good a theory so far. Our first team football talent has diminished (and it started the board and Roman strife and end of Jose) when Arnesan came and garnered so much influence.

I effing despise the overrated Rijkaard, and will go on a rant that would embarrass Eddie if that comes to pass.

like I said one too many

I was thinking Arnesen was as well because of his PSV history and supposedly pushing for Hiddink or Rijkaard pushing out players for players like Boula, but it all seemed to go to hell when he came over, though he has made some promising youth buys but that is where his influence should end
