It's ridiculous. As Barmy says, who would want that job? Well, the massive paycheck obviously. Is this an attempt to get Hiddink back in before he gets snapped up in the summer?
The stupid thing is, this was a team in decline when he arrived, a squad that had been left to crumble at the foundations. In the time that's gone, what has changed? A winger in his first full season in England, a potentially good midfielder, and another young striker. How were those three signings supposed to bridge a gap that was increased by the sides above?
So essentially, a young manager they spent 13m bringing in, and they got rid of him because the old and crap players with no potential and decreasing values haven't performed. That the experienced players like Lampard and Terry can't adjust to new ideas just highlights why they're never been in the same bracket as the truely world class. That they needed the special one, and a wad of cash to be involved in titles, is not surprising.
