Whilst the fans ferventely hope that it is current interim boss Guus Hiddink who stays in his position, the chances of the Dutch mastermind staying on are quite slim considering he’s told everyone he’s not staying.
The bookies have been taking bets on everyone from ex-Barca gaffer, Frank Riijkard, to Mourinho’s predecessor, Roberto Mancini.
But one name that has been overlooked is current Everton manager David Moyes.
The gingerhead took over at the Merseyside club in 2002, and has transformed a once mid-table side into one of the most consistent and talented teams in the Premier League.
Some have even fogotten that Moyes took Everton to the dizzy heights of the world’s top contintental competition in 2005 on, importantly to note, lesser funds than the Big Four.
His transfer dealings are impressive, with some of the best players in England’s top division brought in. Some of those names include Australian Tim Cahill, goalscoring centre back Joseph Yobo, winger Mikel Arteta, custodian Tim Howard, Jo Leon Lescott, fierce striker, Yakubu, right back Leighten Baines, and many more.
That’s an impressive list of players, all brought in on hardly earth-shattering fees.
Indeed, the most he has paid is fifteen million for Marioque Fellaini, who proved to be a great acquisition this season. Imagine the possibilities at well-off Chelsea.
As Andy Burham, the Secretary for Sport, Music and Culture in England, noted: “David Moyes is probably a fine example to everybody in Government of stability and making the right decisions for the long term.”
Sounds impressive, what the Pensioners need in their new manager, and what Chelsea could, and should, be taking on board when it comes to decision time for Hiddink’s successor.
Hopefully, there is never a decision time though.
