Unlikely to happen (although after Frank anything is possible) but IF Jose goes to United and IF we don't offer him a new contract then what are the chances of him going up there? He's Mr Chelsea and I do think he sincerely loves this club and it's fans but from an objective, cold view (you know, the one the club has adopted in it's contract negotiations with him) it could be an ideal move. He'd get one last tilt at success, he knows the coach better than anyone and he knows that the coach would put him in the best possible system to cover his weaknesses and lengthen what career he has left.

Unlikely I know.

If that's a depressing thought, just think that we might hire a coach who doesn't actually want JT around. Either that or we have a board who doesn't understand what he represents to the supporters. Happy Monday Everyone!

I had thought on that very small possibility as well. If jose wanted to take him there and we do not offer jt a new deal he would be foolish not to consider going back on what he said.

If jose wanted to make him a corner stone of uniteds defence for a year or two then why not? Was his boyhood club right and a chance to add another trophy or two to his cabinet.

Hasn't JT already come out and said he will NOT play for another PL club? Regardless of what happens (and I still personally think he will get another year),

I think JT will be true to his word - he would rather retire than play for one of our rivals.

Pretty sure lamps said something along those lines as well.

I’m pretty certain that Lamps said he couldn’t imagine  playing for another PL side.  Whereas JT said outright that he wouldn’t.  Subtle difference but important I think.

Won't happen, thankfully.

With Zouma out for a long time, it's a no brainer to give JT another year to guide us through the difficult next season. There's no point spending 40M to get an over rated Stone, recall Christensen and we will have 4 solid defenders even without Zouma

I keep wondering if we have a new manager already agreed and he's decided he doesn't want JT.

Oh f**k what if it's the Waiter :S

Don't.  JUST DON'T.

I have almost manage to expunge that memory.

And I'm just about to eat and don't want to be put off my food.

 
Nothing would suprise me anymore. If the F S W did return he'd be sacked by Christmas. Some strange things happening at Chelsea FC. All we can do is carry on supporting and following the club. I don't think we will ever have sustained stability and a long term manager.

 
At times, the decisions made by the club beg belief but I honestly think they want a manager who could give us some stability and stay around for a while. That was clearly the intention when AVB was appointed and if he had done as well as hoped, he would still be here now. And again when Jose returned, if things  had not gone so disastrously wrong, then he too would still be here.

It is obviously crucial that we get this next appointment right (so it won't be FSW!!). Not expecting the new guy to win loads straight away and I'm sure the club have had to revise expectations, but If he can steadily start building and have us in the right area of the table & qualifying for CL, whilst getting the side playing better football and trying to integrate a few of the youngsters, then we can't ask for much more than that.

The club has to utilise him in some way, even on a contract just for his sheer "chelsea presence", fast track him through his coaching, and maintainhis legacy into something fantastical

 
Zouma and his injury have changed nothing for jt, according to reports. Seem Roman has made up his mind.

If this seasons proved anything its that you can't let players like this leave. Losing Cech and Drogba was really bad for the dressing room this season.

Correct but the board is so incompetent and short-sighted that this shouldn't surprise us anymore sadly.

 
As someone said earlier i actually do fear Mourinho may be able to turn JTs head if he offers him lets say, two year contract at United. He did flirt with City at one point.

That would be to much to take though.
