Guus WILL listen to Chelsea.

So after speaking previously this week, Guus Hiddink has revealed slightly more than he has done and remarkably for someone who has said that he would never break a contract, has admitted that if Chelsea got in touch with him about becoming our manager, he would listen. The question remains just how serious will Chelsea's offer be.

The reason I am asking that is because I think if Hiddink does come to Chelsea, we all will want to know exactly how long it would be for. Hiddink is 64 and if reports are to be believed he will be offered a two year deal with the club.

Hiddink said:

“If there was a concrete offer, then I would think about it. There’s nothing concrete. You cannot go into all kind of speculation or rumours because there’s nothing concrete. The moment things are concrete, I’ll go to where I have to be, direct. I have a good relationship with the president. We talk every week about the future of ‘everything’. But, when things aren’t concrete, why should I go into speculation?

First, get this game done next Friday, a difficult game, you know. Then we’ll see, As long as I feel fresh, as long as young people, players, are not getting annoyed with me, and I’m always asking for signals regarding this — people getting sour or bitter or nasty as an attitude — then I will continue.

So far, I feel energetic to go on. Sir Alex Ferguson is a lesson for us. I read that his wife told him to get lost, go, not to sit here in the garden and do the gardening. Get back to work. As long as you have this energy and you’re not repeating yourself, are keeping it fresh and the players and the people you’re dealing with are not turning away, then continue. You should walk away if they do start doing that, but I don’t feel it at this moment.

When you’re working at a club with a lot of joy, then all of a sudden you say it might be good to be a national team manager because there you’ll be more flexible and you’ll have fewer games. But, when you’ve been working a long time with a national team and still have that energy — like, with this team, I’d like to work every day because I’d have more impact on them and their execution of games — then you like to work every day. I like to work every day. So, we’ll wait."

I wrote my article the other day stating that for a manager at Chelsea now it's win our bust. Hiddink will have so much pressure on him to succeed and to do it quickly but at the same time he would need to oversee a revamp of our squad too. Do we really think two years is an ideal situation for us and for him?. In two years time it has to happen all over again.

I have no doubt that coming back to Chelsea WILL appeal to Hiddink and to the club as a short term solution maybe to groom a successor to work under him. The only problem I have with it is that maybe we should take the chance to look long term with our next appointment.
