Andre Villas-Boas has emerged as a frontrunner for the manager’s job at Stamford Bridge. Interest in Guus Hiddink appears to have cooled in recent days and it appears that Roman Abramovich is prepared to pay the £13m release clause of Boas contract at Porto. He has been dubbed as the ‘New Mourinho’ and there certainly is a likeness in both manager’s approach.
In the papers this morning there have been a mixed bag of stories that include Jack Warner resigns from FIFA; Fabregas doing all he can to move to Barcelona, while Alex McLeish is willing to meet up with the angry Aston Villa fans.
