Moyes as new Chelsea Boss?

Chelsea could possibly appoint Moyes as their next manager after missing out on Pep Guardiola, who was probably deterred by the series of indiscriminate sackings. Moyes has been considered as the next manager as he has yet to commit his future to Everton. His rolling contract expires at the end of the season and he has yet to sign a new one. He had been previously linked with the Tottenham manager’s job and as a possible successor to fellow Scot Sir Alex Ferguson. Benitez’s short term contract could be extended, of course, while former manager Jose Mourinho has been linked with a return to the Bridge with his future at Real Madrid unclear.
David William Moyes was the 2003, 2005 and 2009 League Managers Association Manager of the Year serves on that Committee in an executive capacity as well. When reaching his tenth anniversary at Everton Moyes received praise from many fellow managers including Sir Alex Ferguson, Arsene Wenger and Kenny Dalglish for his achievements despite operating with a limited budget.
Abramovich has yet to appoint a British manager and most Chelsea fans would warmly embrace Moyes as their new manager if he accepts the offer to overturn this trend of reverse xenophobia. Moyes is current paid 4 million annually according to Everton’s latest accounts making him one of the few Premiere League managers to earn more than the players. The chances of lifting trophies is plainly higher at Stamford Bridge as well as the chances of being sacked.
Abramovich is considered to be contented with Benitez and would probably retain him after the end of the campaign, but accepts that the hostility of the club’s supporters could pose as a serious barrier. Moyes is waiting to see whether Everton are able to hold onto their key players, Marouane Fellaini and Leighton Baines, both of whom have interested Chelsea. The longer Moyes takes to make a decision the more the possibility grows that he could be approached by Chelsea where he could showcase his disciplined stance.

Benitez wants to win every game!

Chelsea has yet to win at home at 2013 and Pep Guardiola’s move to Bayern Munich has obviously left Benitez’s position under serious review. Could Benitez ultimately inspire a total revival within this weary squad? Or could Mourinho be the favourite next season as the next manager on this ridiculous personnel carousel?
Benitez is still confident though that Chelsea could win trophies although they face Arsenal today and will need to overturn a two goal deficit to Swansea in the Capital One Cup on Wednesday. He remains very clear in terms of his aspirations of winning every game and every available trophy.

Is Benitez too stubborn to be adaptable?

Chelsea has only recorded one win in the last 6 matches under Benitez’s reign and were unable to defeat a pugnacious Southampton after a dismal performance in the second half. Dubbed as the “worst Champions League winners ever’ Chelsea also lost to the lowly QPR in a shock result of the year.
The chair of a Chelsea supporters club blamed the poor home results on a lack of confidence due to a “toxic” environment but Benitez thinks otherwise. He stated that when the Blues are away from home they have more space to play but in their home games there is a closer atmosphere meaning Chelsea has to be more precise. Why would this “closer atmosphere” affect the play on the pitch? This brazen statement obviously hints at the state of affairs resident within the management of the Club.
The home game against Arsenal will be affected by the negative impact of the supporters though. A solution does not lie with the supporters changing heart either. Benitez will simply have to deliver on the day by introducing a few creative changes.
Frank Lampard should be awarded a new contract to win over the fans and players. Benitez should experiment with the striking power he has available by playing both Ba and Torres up front. Their high collective work rate could improve our chances of scoring and would definitely invigorate an otherwise dull game. Furthermore, if supporters want to see sensible long term decisions by Abramovich, they should perhaps consider directing their fury at the owner instead of the hapless Benitez.

Filling in the Drogba void

Despite the rejuvenated efforts of Fernando Torres under the wing of Rafael Benitez, Chelsea continue to pursue the world class striker, Radamel Falcao.
The full name Radamel Falcao Garcia Zarate, the name uses Spanish naming customs, the first and paternal name is Garcia and the second and maternal family name is Zarate. He is, however, simply known as Falcao, a name given to him by his father as a tribute to the Brazilian coach Paulo Roberto Falcao, a Columbian striker, who still continues to play for Athletico Madrid in La Liga and represents the national team as well. He is at times nick named El Tigre and King of the Europa League.
Falcao’s most distinct trait aside from his ability to play well with both feet and prominent header skills despite his size would be his impressive goal ratio and astonishingly the goal by minute ratio that exceeds that of the ubiquitous Lionel Messi and Christiano Ronaldo. On 9 December 2012, he performed the amazing feat of scoring 5 goals in one game in a 6-0 drubbing against Deportivo de la Coruna.
A senior representative of Chelsea has reportedly flown to Madrid to hold further talks regarding the acquisition of Radamel Falcao or a possible Gonzalo Higuain in the January transfer window. Marina Granovskaia’s presence in Madrid has also raised speculation that Chelsea might attempt to retrieve the services of Jose Mourinho as the next manager.
Hulk has also been reported to be dissatisfied in Russia and could seek an exit route with Chelsea if interest still exists. Arsenal’s Theo Walcott’s contract will soon expire and Chelsea could possibly be his new home. This could unfortunately mean a probable end of the Sturridge era, however, he has attracted plenty of interest from Liverpool.
If everything else fails Torres will indubitably need to reach his best under Benitez’s reign, with or without any replacement.

Zola dreams of leading Chelsea!

Gianfranco Zola revealed that he is keen to return to the club where he spent seven years during his playing career. In a statement to France Football he said that, “I have been dreaming of becoming a good manager, one who can lead a team like Chelsea.”
“It is only my second coaching experience in a club after West Ham. I still have a lot to do.”
Furthermore, he is really pleased by the plans at Watford and knows how serious the Pozzo family is. It is the ideal place to develop as a coach.
