Don't rule out Harry Redknapp getting a caretaker gig until the end of the season.
Isn't he supposed to be waiting in the wings for the Bournemouth job? He wasn't mad enough to put himself in the frame for the villa job i notice.

I don't think Harry would fancy a project like Bournemouth's. I think he's pissed off he wasn't in the frame for the Liverpool job.

And as much as I bloody hated Harry, I think it would be really entertaining to see him manage a club with such a high profile as Chelsea's. The media would be high as kites with excitement.

What shift lol

They've been playing half hearted and looking like they can't be asked, yesterday against Liverpool a poster on here said it looked exactly like Ramos' last day with us where players just gave up, so true.

Agreed. Sorry @thinktank but you're way off here mate, you think that's Hazard putting in a shift?

P.s. It's can't be arsed - no?

I think 'Arry wants a "prestige" job, Liverpool would have been up his alley, Chelsea fits the bill....not sure he fancies taking squad buried at the bottom of the table and unlikely to fund him bringing in his guys.

Plus i am not sure waiting for a shot at Bournemouth would suit him since I am not sure that Eddie Howe is going to get run out of town for all that much.

The club an supporters all knew the club was going to need a miracle to be anything other than bottom of the barrel and with the fact that Howe has overseen pretty much all of their success i think he has a fair amount of leeway there.

Bloody hell, the media would be loving that. It would be, in Harry's favoured terminology " 'triffic' "

You're right on both counts. For one thing, Bournemouth still have every chance of staying up and so why would they get rid of a coach with as much talent as Eddie Howe?

A "prestige" job. Yes, that's exactly what I was trying to say. To me, Harry looks bitter that he has been overlooked for big jobs. He's gone balls out to increase his visibility of late.

Actually he has definitely been even more lazy than usual. Last season he barely running back, this season its like he is refusing to run back.

Hence why Mourinho played him off Costa yesterday
Fabregas, Matic, Oscar...

Also I don't think Chelsea will sack him, I think they'll have a massive clear out in the summer though
Oscar imo has been tracking back(more than the others anyway) and yesterday made 2 important challenges or Liverpool would have been through

His problem seems to be that Mourinho doesn't rate him. If you look at the Oscar that was there the first season and the Oscar now, you would think he has gone backwards a bit

I think confidence is the main problem (for whatever reason). Don't see it's lack of belief in Moaninho. I haven't seen the effort level of their team drop enough to make me think that. Not convinced of that yet.

Yeah getting rid of Howe would remind me of Charlton getting rid of Curbishley after a few seasons in the PL because they thought "he'd taken them as far as he could", then getting relegated and probably thinking "oh fu** actually he was working a minor miracle just to keep us up there".

I've never heard someone say "can't be asked" in my life. "Can't be arsed" is the only way I've heard it through my 30 odd years.

Nah, for me the main problem is their fear of defending. I don't see general resignation.
