It's official, Guus Hiddink has been appointed as the new first team manager until the end of the season. Let's hope he can repeat what he did in 2009 and secure a top-4 place for us.

If he makes top 4 think he might be staying for longer than the end of the season!
{Ed002's Note - That is certainly not the plan.}

I'd have let Steve Holland continue until the end of the season.

I guess it goes without saying Chelsea's first choice to be the next permanent manager would be Guardiola, Ed?
{Ed002's Note - You think that there is a list of the top 10 or 20 managers that the club wants and will be striking them off one by one until only one is left? The List of Adrian Messenger comes to mind.}

No, I don't think that. Thanks for that though.
My question was reasonably simple: is Guardiola the first choice to be next permanent manager.
{Ed002's Note - As I have explained it does not work like that - the club have done what is necessary by persuading Guus Hiddink to come back - and that has given them the time to sensible consider what options there are available.}

Ok, thanks for explaining.
