[Michel Kane]

AVB's brand of football will suit Torres IMO.

More interested to see how he uses Lampard TBH.

[Badman]

This is a disaster if true

[The Somalian]

well done chelski but can not see this working out at all

[Mr Q]

This is a disaster if true

[JOHN DOE]

ruined his career if its true

[MYTH]

he needs more time

taking the Chelsea job now could be suicidal imo

[Dat Boy B]

LOL AVB is getting written off already and the deal hasnt even been struck.

I dont think he can do too bad.. Hes english is perfect , he already knows some of the players.

Plus i think Roman is willing to give him time to build hes own legacy here , but we shall see.

[Rsonist]

Like say if he loses 3 on the bounce he wont get sacked cause Roman for the first time in a decade has a "long term plan"

We just paid Ancelotti £5m to buy out the last year of hes contract , we are about to spend £15 million for another manager , PLUS a further £20m for the 4 year contract , thats £40m on getting a new manager (IF AVB comes of course)

I would like to think that he would be given a chance based on the fact we are spending so much for him.

But then again , im not on the Chelsea board so i wouldnt know , but im using my logic here.

Exactly

[Guest Portuguese]

A Bola report that Villas-Boas has sent a fax to FC Porto in which he says he is to pay the buyout clause himself and that there is no going back on his decision. Most of the sports papers also speculate Villas-Boas wants to take striker Falcao and midfielder Joao Moutinho with him to Stamford bridge.

by Tom Kundert

Lusa the Portuguese news agency who first broke the news are now saying AVB has quit Porto and is going to be presented as Chelsea's new manager

[Young £]

sad

so sad

he could of done something special this year with Porto, especially in Europe.

Jumped the gun abit i reckon, much greater expectation on hes shoulders

but i rate him highly. Anyone who analyses the game deeply deserves praise in my book

[Young £]

chelsea have paid more money in compensation to sacked managers in last 5 years than arsenal have spent on new players

[The King]

LOL

[darkman]

chelsea have paid more money in compensation to sacked managers in last 5 years than arsenal have spent on new players

Last 5 Years

Chelsea - 2 Premierships, 3 FA Cups

Arsenal - Zilch

[Seydou]

Bet you supported Arsenal 5 years ago, innit?

[Student of Accounting]

Didn't Mourinho win a Champions league based on defence.

Boas won a Uefa Cup based on attack.

Fee paid, new Chelsea boss

£13.3 million

Chelsea's pursuit of highly-rated coach Andre Villas-Boas appeared to move a step closer to completion tonight as Porto announced they had received the payment required to release him from his contract.

Confirmation came earlier on Tuesday that Villas-Boas tendered his resignation with the Portuguese champions, and the receipt of the compensation payment, reported to be 15million euros, leaves the way clear for the 33-year-old to move on to a new club.

Now it seems only a matter of time before the Portuguese coach is unveiled at Stamford Bridge.

A statement from Porto to the Portuguese Securities Market Commission read: "FC Porto, in accordance with Article 248 paragraph 1 of the Securities Code, hereby informs the market they have received from Mr Andre Villas-Boas the amount provided for in clause to terminate his employment contract."

The statement added that all that remained to sort out were the formalities of the termination of the contract.

Porto, who also confirmed Vitor Pereira as their new coach on a two-year contract, added on their official website: "The amount has been deposited on the termination clause of the work contract of Andre Villas-Boas."

[Guest haze-e]

Too early.

Smh.

[MEIRELES.]

BOY.

Can he do it all in 1 season? I have my doubts.
