Patience is running out fast in the Abramovich penthouse and another three defeats over the next month will see Villas Boas sent back to the high school from which he was plucked. With the credentials of former first choice Guus Hiddink somewhat tarnished by the failure of Turkey to qualify for Euro 2012, Abramovich is said to be demanding a guaranteed winner to replace the current Chelsea incumbent, someone who will put pragmatism above everything else.
"Everything points to Sam," said a source close to the Russian. "He got the best out of Anelka when they were together at Bolton and his record at West Ham stands comparison with the very best."
He continued, "Mr Abramovich has watched West Ham on TV a couple of times and has been hugely impressed by how poor they have looked whilst still collecting the points. What Allardyce is proving is that you don't need great players to win games, you just need a system. If he can win games with the rubbish available to him at West Ham, just imagine what he could do with the players at Chelsea."
He added: "Allardyce may not be the fans' first choice but Redknapp was not a popular appointment at Tottenham and look what a great job he is doing. The same holds for Allardyce at West Ham. He has come in, torn up the rule book at the club, moved out their most popular player, bulldozed the Academy, sold down the river every value the club has ever held dear and yet is adored on the terraces because he has got West Ham winning. That's just what Chelsea needs."
Allardyce is known to have a release clause in his West Ham contract should England or one of the Big Four approach him. Whether or not he would condescend to manage Chelsea is, at this stage unclear, however. This is, after all, the man who claimed he should be managing Real Madrid, so Chelsea may not be a sexy enough proposition.
As West Ham blogger Lee Vitout explained, "Why would Sam trade what he has at West Ham for Chelsea? Why exchange a winning club for a team of losers?"

That was a quick spelling edit wasn't it?!! Someone point it out did they?
The ONLY thing that was remotely remarkable about this post was that spelling error, as annoying as it was originally!
Spelling error? Which one was that?
The 3 'Roman' ones shall we say!?
You're very hypocritical and only too quick to pick up on bad spellers and ignore their comment content when it suits you, yet your own spelling and grammar leaves a lot to be desired.... doesn't it?!
Does it? Funny, I'm not Russian. So you are a regular to the blog. And there was me thinking a Chelsea fan had looked in!
Well, I'm a 'regular' on my lavatory too... but I wouldn't shout about it because even though it may be a different day... it's basically the same kind of shit!
Yeah yeah yeah just like they had Zola all lined up to replace ... which bloody manager was it? So many.

Hope you don't wipe your arse with virtual space too Theo. Your Primark undies must be in a terrible state!
Theo Saurus 1

I do hope Theo stays regular, his "banter" is the kind of stuff that HF likes to torment the plebs with on here so it's nice to see HF take a big dose of his own medicine.
Well played sir.
Btw I've also picked up on fair amount of spelling errors, with his most comical being Knumskull!
Oops, reverted to Anonymous to praise himself now! The trouble is, you don't know which word was spelt incorrectly do you 2045because there are no errors in the article. So how would you know what Theo was talking about if you weren't Theo yourself?
Tell you what, never mind Theo Saurus, use vaseline to remove the stinging and stick to Theo Twat instead. It alliterates and it is another word for the cnut that you have again exposed yourself to be!
HF you really are a tedious nugget, I very much foubt you're West Ham and seeing as you never go to a game I'm happy to say that you're not.
I've popped on here from time to time, but these days you write inflammatory drivel and post it up for the pure intention of getting hits.
This blog is tired and stale, which is a reflection of you, I think you're Spurs and this is an elaborate prank, do us all a favour eh and go for a swim in a whirlpool
I know you are from Dagenham cos you don't get it at all do you? Inflammatory eh? Really?
Dagenham Dave is Theo Saurus, Theo Saurus is every anonymous there's ever been (there can only be one person who hates HF in HF's world) how convenient. I remember when Dagenham Dave was on side - another one bites the dust.
2045 doesn't take a genius to work it out does it - three Roman's must be...... Abramovich!
Oh brother! Touchy aren't we?
Your 'comment' at 21:55 demonstrates 2 things... One, as in the first paragraph, shows that you are prepared to write complete garbage to cover yourself or prove a point... and the other, as again demonstrated in the second paragraph, merely shows your character, or lack of it, from the vitriolic bile that you spout!
You know full well that Anon @ 20:45 and myself are NOT the same contributor, yet you choose to insist on that to suit your own ends! 20:45 is hardly specific... he simply riled you! I knew your errors were the incorrect use of 'Abromovich'...he didn't! I'm assuming you have the nous to compare Internet Protocol addresses...or maybe you don't?! Either way, you sir, are a teutonic twat!
0817, 0821, different contributors? Pure coincidence that you are on together, posting one post after the other. Spotted your error, went away for an hour then had another go! All very sad.
But the saddest thing of all? That you claim to hate this blog but can't stay away! Day after day, week after week, year after year, you are lured back by the Game. Like I've always told you, you're trapped. The game has you in its power. You squeal but like a stuck pig!
"but like a stuck pig"?! an error, surely?
We love you Theo we do, We love you Theo we do, We love you Theo we do, ooooh Theo we love you! Keep it up guv - just like the Germans he don't like it up 'im.
What exactly don't you understand? Do you think there's a spelling error there 1418?
