press conference was in English and started with soft charming joke about Terry captiancy which

now he is doing good job.

Ray Wilkins seems a nice sort of bloke. He had a hugely successful career for club and country, and
had spells playing abroad in France and Italy, away from the hustle and bustle of the English
Leagues. He has since chiselled out a successful career as a coach at Chelsea.
So he is not the sort of person you would expect to go and criticise another European league.

A few eyebrows will doubtless be raised by Chelsea's decision to appoint an exotic continental
manager with a poor grasp of English just six months after sacking an exotic continental manager
with a poor grasp of English. Accusations were certainly cast about Luiz Felipe Scolari's ability
to control the dressing room given his alarming accurate impression of an overweight Andrew SachsÂ
in Fawlty Towers.

Chelsea coach, Ray Wilkins, has today claimed that Manchester United are better off losing
Cristiano Ronaldo than they would be if we sold on Wayne Rooney.
Wilkins rates Rooney's ability to contribute to the team and hails his 'wonderful' ability.
"If you were to ask who would you rather have, Rooney or Ronaldo, as an ex-footballer I'd
rather have Wayne Rooney because he's more of a team player," said Wilkins.

After eight years ‘Carleto' is leaving Milan. Even though he has expressed
desire to stay, it seems that Berlusconi has got other plans. The reports are suggesting that
defence-minded coach, who has been widely criticized for playing with a lone striker in most of the
games, has accepted Chelsea's offer and looks set to sign a four-year-deal.

Sunday's game was frustrating to say the least. It was a perfect summary of our season, our
strengths, weaknesses and failings.
 Wenger insists for some unknown reason in persisting with a 4-2-3-1 formation. He then
proceeds and plays our players out of position. Diaby on the wing and Nasri as a central
midfielder.

Seven months ago Luiz Felipe Scolari was hired to take the manager position of Chelsea, and on
February 9, 2009, he was fired after a lackluster season thus far. The problem with the firing is
that they got rid of the wrong man. Now there are 11 men on the field and only one manager, so
getting rid of the manager is the easy thing to do since you can rarely eliminate three or four non
performing players.

It is, of course, not the .

Thank you Pete Kenyon! In a pretty surprising move, Chelsea have brought Ray Wilkins back to the
club as assistant first-team coach.
Wilkins joined Chelsea as a player nearly 35 years ago, eventually becoming the Blues' youngest
ever captain at 18. He spent six years at the club before leaving for dare I say it Manchester
