The reason it's a bad move is because he had a secure job in Porto (backed by the whole club) and is doing a fantastic job there simultaneously taking Porto to the next level and making a name for himself. Chelsea are structurally dissimilar to Porto and have more competition and higher expectations and worse still, their track record of having managers successfully see their contracts out has been woeful in the last few years. He could tarnish his reputation in the blink of an eye.

Really surprised by the move. This is a make or break season for such a young manager.

Is it pretty much signed sealed and delievered?

Typical topic evasion. You need to bring liverpool into it to back up an argument that has nothing to do with my club.
He's daft to leave for Chelsea when he has a better chance at winning the CL at Porto.
I agree with this.
Porto in the CL next season will be a force to be reckoned with. Especially with star players Falcao and Hulk staying for atleast another season.

Moutinho is a star player too

Next season? I think so.
Only if AvB stays though.
Look at what they did last season they wiped anyone that stood in there way. They won it in 2004 with a worse team IMO.

Baía
Ferreira - Jorge Costa - Carvalho - Nuno Valente
Costinha
Pedro Mendres - Deco - Maniche
Derlei - Carlos Alberto
Think this was the first team in 04, definitely better than what Porto have now.. players like Bosingwa and Benni McCarthy (when he was good) on the bench for the most part.

It's hard to tell looking at it now. When you look at Porto's current line up 6/7 years down the line you might say "Wow what a side that was".

Guessing you missed the "trolol".
I don't think it will happen but they do have a decent chance tbf.

Yeah but seriously, Hulk would be good, could play on both wings and striker, but we don't need Falcao.

Should stay at Porto and prove himself in the Champions League has a great squad and could do well in it.
Abramovic blatantly just wants Champions League sucess yet hes going to appoint someone who has no track record in the Champions League.Good move.
I honestly don't think he's ready to handle a English team yet full of established stars in the Premier League you need the respect of the dressing room and with such a low profile and being the same age as many of them I think that may be difficult and Chelsea would be the worst of those to go to considering how they treat their managers and lack of patience.
Moral of the story, Abramovic should just be the fucking manager it would be easier or get someone who has a good record in the Champions League e.g Mourinho or Hiddink. Could potentially ruin this fledgling reputation he's building for himself.

AvB already knows all of the players apart from a few.. he can handle the ego's. He already gets on well with them.
Also, I'm hoping Roman has learned from the Mourinho debicle that AvB will need time, and let him have a free reign.

It's as easy as that.
Really though, I'd love to see him in the dug-out going nuts at everyone.

Would of liked to see him have atleast a season with Porto in the CL.
Can see him taking Hulk and/or Falcao with him.

Damn, we don't really need a right winger, would like to see Sturridge there
