Watching him on SS2 and very very impressed! He looks like a character we could use in our coaching staff. Would add a bit of winning mentality.

Would you take him at Spurs in some capacity or another?

He also said he thinks we're the best team in the League attacking wise.

He's Chelsea through and through, whatever has happened in the last few weeks. I doubt he'd come to the club even if we asked.

I've always liked the way he comes across but there's no way any of us could have have a clue what kind of cach he'd be.

Too much goes on behind the scenes.

Still can't believe he has more England caps than Hoddle. Not his fault, but to me defines an era.

Yup....also just seen on FB an old school friend who is now living in Newcastle, and has a season ticket there, has said he has heard that Ray Wilkins is in the apparent shortlist along with Jol....

Wilkins is definitely not a manager, decent number 2. If he becomes Toon boss they will go down.

Thing is, it's rumoured that Chrissy was sacked because he wasn't "showbusiness" enough for them, but so far the shortlist includes Martin, Pardew & now Wilkins here - none of them are exactly what i'd call showbiz :shrug:

I dont agree with that at all. People were saying the same about Chrissy and look how well he did.

Wilkins has been in the game long enough to know how its done. Also managing a premier league team isnt exactly rocket science. You have to be a well liked personality with a certain mentality and you're 80% there.

Wilkins seems to say the right things, and to me, comes across as a very good man manager. The way he was talking about Drogba tells me he knows how to handle players.

I like him. I think he'd do well.

You know when you've been tangoed.

Nice guy, great voiceover, I'd take clipboard Chris back first.

The one Chelsea man who is actually decent. Richard idiot Keyes wouldn't shut up tonight, Wilkins was simply saying Barcelona are the team to beat and that they can turn it on like they did against Madrid.

I'd take him at Spurs I think he could do a good job, as someone else said though I'd take Hughton back first!

My mate from Newcastle claims that there was a big offer for Carroll and chris didn't want to sell but Ashley wanted the money, an argument then ensued and chris was gone.

However, He was up watching videos of luka and saying how newcastle were going to sign him the night we did. What a great moment that was, especially as it was at about 2 when I told him

Chris looks like he's the type that would succumb to the players, never mind Cashley. Remember that tehTrunk vid? That was really funny :)

Hopefully that offer for Carroll is from us.

Can't see where Wilkins would fit in though, Harry won't fire Bond/Jordan and it would be harsh to dump Allen after all these years

Ray Wilkins is Chelsea through and through. We don't need anymore ex gooners/Chelsea coaches/players. Although it will be difficult to stop Wenger becoming our new Chirpy mascot, what with the entertaining young children tag on the job.
