Were you at Blackburn at home in 96?

Hoddle's last game in charge If so did you join in with the fans telling Batesy and Colin Hutchinson who we wanted to replace Glenn as Manager?

I did. As soon as Hoddle announced he was going to England I had no doubts who I wanted to take over the job.

An inexperienced novice. I can promise you I wasn’t in a minority either. Certainly no in the ground.

Now I know the world has changed in the past 23 years.

But I think the time is right for us to take a gamble again.

AVB had won trophies. Look how that turned out. So had Scolari.

In the absence of not being able to bring in Jardim…………………Super Frank is my preferred choice.

If he brings Morris home with him then I think we could gradually become the club, the owner and fans want to see. It would take time but I’d be happy for that time to be given.

It has to be Mourinho or Simeone or another manager like that. Someone who suits the club and the type of football that has always brought us success. I don't understand why some fans have this vision of us playing beautiful football, that's not us. We shouldn't follow someone else's map or try and be like another club, like Barcelona. We are Chelsea, we have our identity, why change it? It's been so successful for us.

Wahl why is it our identity? It’s only our identity if we truly began existing in 2000. The first time since 1996 that we hired from outside the club

But there are those of us that have allowed ourselves to be fooled in to believing that Chelsea did exist before the millennium. I know we’re really only living in the Matrix and nothing we’ve been told is true, but we’ve decided that ignorance is bliss

So somebody like me, I don’t consider your version of “our identity” to be set in stone.

Thing is i (like i suspect you can) remember a time when we didn't go for the "finished article" when it came to Managers. Even Hoddle was 35/36 when we hired him.

So i don't buy Wahl's version of our identity as being set in stone and we should stick to it rigidly.
