You all need to get off Abramovic, he has paid good­ money to bring great talent to the club and you need to­ a GREAT manager to lead, Jose gave you that but he­ forgot who the Boss was. As for Grant and Scolari, when­ you have a team that loaded with STARS and you­ can't keep everyone focused and hungry that's­ is why they are not with Chelsea anymore. As for­ Ancelotti, I am not sure if he is the right guy, with­ star-studded Milan where have finished in the last two­ years? So how is he going to make an impact at Chelsea?

As for people whinging about smokers, you do know­ William Gallas smoked throughout his glorious stay at­ Stamford Bridge right? Sure it doesn't do wonders­ for your stamina, but I get through 25/30 a day, and­ still last 90 minutes twice a week as a left winger, so­ get your facts straight!

Despite what my be his faults though (like only getting­ a world class squad into the Uefa Cup, now poorly­ renamed The Europa League) - I don't mind having­ Ancelotti as our gaffer, as long as the powers that be­ realise that a manager needs AT LEAST 3 years to make­ his mark properly on a squad and get them playing his­ style of football (unless you're Pep Guardiola that­ is)

I'm still trying to get my head around why we got­ rid of Avram, let alone the Scolari fiasco, and Guus if­ you're reading this 5 words "We want you to­ sign"... Anyway Ancelotti, great manager he may­ be, but no what Chelsea need. We need a disciplinarian,­ a motivator and someone with an eye for a bargain - 3­ things even he will admit he ain't. Two things in­ the transfer department that are already doing my head­ in also:

1) Bosingwa out - Johnson in... even a Blue­ Square manager or owner knows thats is bad business
2)­ Ben Sahar possibly going for under a million?!? Loan­ him out for a couple more years, he'll be worth at­ least £5million and might be worth holding onto at that­ stage with our ageing strikers hitting their post-prime

theres only 1 man for the job­ guussssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

nibirufc, you are one sad @#$%. sr.melvin you are an­ even sadder @#$%. are you two related to donald­ twatintyre as you all sound similar and talk @#$%. i am­ still laughing at the comment HEAD HUNTERS RUNNING­ THROUGH­ CITY CENTRE STREETS AT AWAY MATCHES, SLASHING­ INNOCENT­ PEOPLES BACKS WITH DOUBLE RAZOR BLADES, ha ha­ how do you find time to make up this rubbish, by the­ way tooting is south of the river you muppet get it­ right or shut the f**k up.

rubbish article...who the heck are ya all to judge him­ now?he hasnt showed you what he can co with the­ blues!!! dont judge the book by it's cover!ac milan­ is a diff team from chelsea and so is the italian­ league from the premiership.all you doubt the man are­ losers,who the hell do you think ya are?have you ever­ managed a big club in your life?and when the time comes­ when he starts winning you'll juts gonna change­ your side and say i told ya he was good for the­ blues.what a crock of cow manure ya all are!!!

I am a chelsea fan but i think ancelotti is wrong for­ one reason is because ac milan have so many great­ players yet they only qualified for the Uefa cup this­ season

These votes are a crock; anti chelsea fans vote against­ just to stir it . . . like me!

I've been a Chelsea fan since the era of Raineri.­ When Raineri came, he had time to build a team. The­ likes of J.T, Lamp etc were built by him. The Special­ One came and consolidated on that. What we need is­ continuity. As long as I'm concerned, Anceloti is­ good. Our big man (Abram) should give him time and­ forget about this win Champions league or go. For me,­ Anceloti is the RIGHT ONE.

i believe the best coach since abramovich bought­ Chelsea was Ranieri,come on,nobody remembers ? in his­ first and only season in charge,he created a strong­ base for a team with a future,with Lampard,Terry and­ more.Took Chelsea second to an unbeaten Arsenal­ side,but actually the only team to have not been beaten­ by Arsenal that year,on the contrary,he pushed Arsenal­ out of tha Champion'League and reached the­ semis,all that in one season ??? that guy was­ great,i'm sorry,Mourinho was the guy with the­ results of course,but taking over a team already formed­ and super performing,with only few ad ons that only­ one,no two are worth mentionning,Drogba and Carvallho

have faith in the man maybe he will do well

y are the­ so many scumy glory hunter man u fans ever wondered­ maybe cos their not good at football themselves

Regards to the appointment of Ancelotti I’ve been a­ Chelsea fan for forty years and the biggest problem we­ have is that we don’t seem to have any ­ continuity. We need a settled team and­ manager if we’re going to win the champions league and­ get back the premiership. It has worked for man united­ and Arsenal they dominated the premier league when it­ first started. I think the problem we have is the­ owner, he doesn’t seem to want to keep a manager and­ give him the chance. What was wrong with Steve Clarke?­ Who had been there as a player and manager for 20 years­ no wonder he left. Since we’ve had Guss Hiddink he has­ transformed our under achievers i.e. Malouda the last­ 22 games has proved this. Now there is talk of people­ like Malouda being sold you need to have a settled team­ and manager if we are going to start winning trophies­ again.

as a man utd fan i think abramovich should have­ swallowed his pride and brought back mourinho. he was­ good for the english premier league. but still give­ ancelotti a chance. he has a pretty good record.

WHENEVER A CLUB WANTS TO SIGN A COACH OR PLAYER WHY NOT­ JUST SIGN HIM ON.WHAT IS THE POINT OF ALL THE­ SPECUALTION AND MEDIA FRENZY.ANCELLOTTI DENYING THE­ MOVE SO WAS CHELSEA.NOW HE IS HERE WHY ALL THE MEDIA­ FRENZY IN THE FIRST PLACE

What is really worrying at the moment is that­ abram's cheque book is open again and zero of these­ "special players" are willing to join no­ matter the money that's offered ancelotti I­ can't see bringing anything to Chelsea not even­ that player we so desperately need

Ancelotti's appointment is as dramatic as­ Mourinho's, and in terms of game style this change­ makes it more relevant than any of the recent ones.­ Ancelotti's style relies on combinations, his team­ will be attacking most of the time and will provide­ enterteining games. This is a big change in substance­ relative to Mourinho, for example, who tried to get­ some of the best players available and put enough­ pressure on them to deliver. If Ancelotti's­ integration at Chelsea will succeed (and I have no idea­ whether it will or not), his team will win both the­ English and European titles.

smokes to much , another mistake

Odds he doesn't make the end of the season

Only time will tell....Thats what they said about­ Scolari and Mourinho...
