My main gripe with Hiddink being second in manager of the year is because he's only been here half a year. Other manager's have had a full season with their sides, yet they've still managed to get to a cup final and they've still managed to punch kind of above their weight in the league. Moyes has been excellent at Everton and although it's over-achieving on their budget, it's quite clear they're a good side and aren't that far from challenging for 4th place. I think his job, over the full course of the season, is more deserving of second place over Hiddink.

I just don't think Hiddink has done anything special since coming in, he's a caretaker manager of one of the strongest sides in the world, I think a lot of manager's could have gained similar results with a side like Chelsea's, maybe not Alan Shearer :wink:


People say that with the squad Chelsea have anyone could be successful. But Claudio Ranieri didn't win anything. Avram Grant didn't win anything. Phil Scolari wouldn't have won anything if Chelsea hadn't shown him the door. And with that squad which anyone could have won things with, those managers managed to get knocked out of cups by Barnsley and Burnley.

Hiddink has come in to Chelsea and knocked out Liverpool from the Champions League. That's the same Liverpool side who beat Chelsea twice in the league. He's knocked Arsenal out of the FA Cup. That's the Arsenal who half the people on here reckon have the best manager in the Premier League. He also tactically destroyed Barcelona in the Champions League. He's not nicking points off West Brom and Hull City like Hodgson, Redknapp and Moyes have done, he's gone up against the biggest sides in Europe.

Arsenal's is hideous, but they're snot so green is appropriate for them.

Celtic. I'm not sure about their green tartan. It depends on the wearing really. It could stick out and look hideous but it could also be something you don't notice unless you really look at it.

Chelsea. Awful. Built in bra for fat blokes.

Liverpool. Really good. The red and gold lining looks really good against the black. Pi55ed off that Adidas produce this for them and that pile of cack for us.

Citeh. Can't tell from that pic. Need to see how it looks on the players.

Man United. Makes ours look halfway decent.

Newcastle. Pretty much the same classic kit that they've always had. That's a plus for me.

It makes no difference whatsoever which teams Chelsea have beaten on any given day or in any given particular fixture. Ultimately the manager will be judged on trophies he has won. Knocking Liverpool out of the CL, destroying Barcelona tactically and knocking Arsenal out of the FA cup means nothing if Chelsea win nothing!! :idea:

Agreed.

But what's Benitez going to win? They've got about a 5% chance of winning the league. Hiddink has at least a 50% chance of winning the FA Cup.

I wonder if he'll manage to hide his celebration when United score against Wigan?

He's an ex player FFS. He owns Wigan Athletic FC. He's about as much a fan as Glazer is of Man Utd, Ashley is of Newcastle.

If he was a true Blackburn Rovers fan he wouldn't have bought Wigan Athletic.

Did you watch the video? He's giddy with excitement at the prospect of United coming to visit. He's gushing with praise over Ferguson and virtually offering his manager to United whenever Ferguson retires.
