Scolari to Chelsea!

[DRINK?]

Very good appointment....his teams always play good football and he's attack minded. Could make next season very interesting (only in terms of title challengers cos the Top 4 is pretty obv)

Not neccessarily, when he started out his teams were hoof it up the park jobs...will see how attack minded he is, reckon it would be impossible to manage brazil and not be attack minded, to a lesser extent portugal are similar

He'll be gone by September - one month of English tabloid hassle will see him pack his bags.

coupled with trips to Stoke, Hull and Wigan

Wonder if the famously hard headed Gene Hackman lookalike will brook any interference from Abramovich?

According to the Independent today

Indeed The Independent contacted Scolari the day after Grant was sacked to ask whether he would be interested in the Chelsea post. He said he would – but didn't want his interest to be made public. He also said he would be comfortable with the conditions set down by the club owner Roman Abramovich who has made clear that he wants a disciplinarian coach but also one who is willing to discuss team matters and selection with him.

basically Big Phil is a class manager.

This is seriously bad news for me (as a Man U fan) And fucking wicked news for Chelskov

England should of kept schtum about the replacement of Sven and we should of moved heaven and Earth to get Scolari for England. I garentee if we had of we'd be in Euro 08 with a bloody good chance of winning it.

I hate to say it but I wouldn't be surprised if Chelsea do the double next year!

remember kids, you heard it here first!

LOL!

I reckon McClaren getting the England job before the UEFA Cup Final lost it for boro*. The same will happen to Portugal, imo**.

*That's my reasoning and I'm sticking with it!
**Not that I'm saying they'll win it, but they'll do worse than they would have.

He will have a good season then leave

They're welcome to both of them frankly....London's night clubs will do roaring business.

Not a bad manager, still don't think he will be as good as Jose....

"I might find it hard adapting to the ways of football in England, to the rain, and maybe to the food. But I will do it," Scolari is quoted as saying in the Daily Telegraph. "But one thing I cannot adapt easily to is when they call me Big Phil.

"I don't want to see my name spelled with a 'Ph', I want to see it spelled with an F. It is Felipe, not Phil. I will not allow anyone in England or anywhere else to change my name."


Good luck with that Phil.

Indeed...City are still chasing Ronaldinho. I hope he snubs us.
