Very likely & I know Im pleased about it - although I know some supporters won't be! ! Fernando Torres is gonna be sold in the summer - He has not fit in at all - doesn't socialise, make an effort with team mates, etc, etc & they've realised he is not gonna fit in.
So the logical thing to do is to get as much money for him as possible. We will still probs get 40M for him in the summer. . .

This is inside info! ! Rem the name

{Ed002's Note - I expect Ancelotti to leave this summer. There are on-going discussions and some very specific dependencies that will shape any final decision. Until those are understood, it is best to wait. I may have some further news late next week.} pZ's Note - I don't expect Ancelotti to leave. There are discussions going on about how to move forward next season. and nothing more. Abra wants to give him one more season and see how it pans out. Ill give more information as soon as i get it {Ed001's Note - stop trying to pretend you are some kind of editor with the copycat notes or I will just delete all your posts. I have no problem with you giving your opinion or any info you have, but do it from yourself and stop trying to pretend to be in some sort of editorial role on the site.}

MARCO VAN BASTEN and Frank Rijkaard are the top two names in the frame to succeed Carlo Ancelotti as Chelsea boss.
And the new man will be joined in a Dutch takeover by Guus Hiddink, who is coming in as technical director to oversee all transfer dealings at Stamford Bridge.
Roman Abramovich has sought the advice of close friend Hiddink about where Chelsea s future lies with Ancelotti having failed to deliver a trophy this season.
Former Bridge boss Hiddink says ex-Barca boss Rijkaard and countryman Van Basten are the two best candidates capable of delivering success for Abramovich.
Both are free at present and would welcome the chance to take the job.
Neither would have concerns working alongside Hiddink.

Why did the Daily Star stop with just three Dutchman? Maybe they could have thrown Martin Jol into the mix? Maybe Johann Cruyff or Vincent Van Gogh, oh wait, he s dead.
There is however growing speculation that Carlo Ancelotti may leave in the summer and some believe the reason Roma have not brought in a permanent replacement for Claudio Ranieri is so that the Blues boss can return to the club he served so well as a player. Currently Vincenzo Montella is caretaker boss at the Stadio Olimpico and has done okay, winning four out of his eight games in charge.
It would be harsh for Roman Abramovich to sack the Italian though, after all Ancelotti did net the domestic double in his first season at the club. However the Russian billionaire is known for not being the most patient man around.Thoughts ed?

{Ed002's Note - There is no way that Chelsea will pay Anderlecht's price - perhaps Manchester City.}

Ed whats happening with sanchez
are we gonna let man city have him or have we alreadynsorted something out as if we are interested we better hurry up before man city persuade him

{Ed002's Note – I will try and explain what I know to be correct and what is “rumoured” about Alexis Sanchez. We know that Chelsea and Inter Milan have made unsuccessful bids, and we know that Manchester United and Barcelona have a declared interest. Juventus had previously been interested but were hoping that (a) Sanchez stayed under the radar until a deal could be struck, and (b) Udinese would look kindly on an arrangement that included some cash and several players either in exchange, on loan or in part-ownership as part of the deal. As an aside Juventus have proposed a similar deal for Javier Pastore. Anyway, there was a January meeting with Chelsea in Monaco and broad agreement was reached over the transfer before Giampaolo Pozzo said that the deal must include a loan of the player back to Udinese. Whilst Barcelona were apparently willing to agree to this until the end of the season, Pozzo proposed that whoever Sanchez moved to should allow him to be loaned back for 18 months – hence the end of any discussions. I expect that Juventus will not come back in to the picture. Although Sanchez has been watched by numerous teams including Roma, there is nothing new other than Manchester City preparing a bid for the player as well. They have, like Juventus, recently been knocked back in a bid for Pastore and are likely to aim their cheque book in another direction – this may well be Sanchez. The advantage they have, in addition to being able to match any transfer fee, is the ability to put together a wage deal far beyond anything the other clubs could afford or would be willing to pay. I suspect that we will see this wholw saga drag out through the summer transfer window as Pozzo puts the player on the market, takes him off the market, values him at €100M and so on. Manchester United, Chelsea, Barcelona and Inter will all likely remain interested but could well tire of the expected drawn-out negotiations. Manchester United and Chelsea were both originally wary of the player being not quite as robust as needs be for the EPL. Perhaps Inter will get their man or perhaps Sanchez will take an offer from Manchester City.}

Ed002's Note - I can't speculate on whether or not it would be a good signing - as for being linked to Mourinho returning I can assure you it is not.

[ pZ - Mourinho will not return to Chelsea. As for which one, the highest chance is Manchester United. I hope to see Ancelotti next season. Few players will be bought and few will leave. The likes of Drogba, Anelka and Torres will remain. Can't say much about Malouda though ]
