Well, they have released a statement saying they will announce the new manager this afternoon so obviously already had him lined up. I imagine the whole country is waiting with baited breath.
Rumour control says it'll be Benitez till the end of the season , after which Pep will take over. Presumably on a six month contract
Rumours coming through on the radio from Jason Bird who knows the club well are that talks are going on at the moment with Gaurdiola. But,,,,,,,they have contingency plans of Benitez & wait for it,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Avram Grant. I kid you not chaps.
Just like I said, wish I could have got to the bookies. If Jason Bird says owt about Chelsea, get on it, like buying money. He's never wrong about them, .
