Leicester?

Yep. Chelsea also finished 10th in 2016

Chelski after Xabi?

Would be gutted. Depressed.

Also for people to say, why would he go to chelsea when theyre in such a bad position.

1 - they have a strong squad with perhaps a few players or tweaks needed
2 - Alot of money
3- a manager like him must believe in himself, that with #1 and #2 they would not fail.

Chelsea have had lots of managers, some of them very high calibre. He must surely look at the ridiculous turnover and wonder to himself why that is.
Also the Chelsea fans will always know that they are second choice behind Liverpool, for him. If things go a bit pearshaped early doors it will turn nasty.
Think it would be another nightmare choice for him after the circus at Madrid.
I think he will come to us, despite all the rumours and counter rumours.

I hope so too, but it's all down to FSG and we all know what they are like.

Absolutely. I'd have no sympathy for him if he ended up like all the others at Chelsea. He'd be swapping one madhouse for another.

Real Madrid have beaten Liverpool to the signing of Jose Mourinho

Shame, i was so looking forward to a narcissist in charge of our club.

A couple of snippets from Slot's pre Villa game press conference.

"Every reason to believe I'll stay in charge"

"We know where we go on tour [in pre-season], so our plans have been made and talks have been ongoing between the club and new players and I am involved in that."

Very worrying, especially that very last part about him being involved in our summer transfer plans.

At least we seem to have summer transfer plans so there's that.

Why? He's our manager, and a league winning one at that...
