'Chopper' Harris said: "I know what upset a lot of the Chelsea supporters that turned against him was the comment he made along the lines of 'if they give me the sack they can pay me up', as though he wasn't really worried. I don't think that went down too well with the supporters. [LNB]"I think if it was a choice with the supporters, 90 per cent of them would like to get Gianfranco Zola and Steve Clarke as the new management team."[LNB]Here's what fans on the club website were saying about the move for Guus Hiddink: [LNB]"At least it is not the Big Flop Avram Grant."[LNB]"Hiddink's PSV Eindhoven side of 2005 were a good one."[LNB]"Hiddink is better than most options but my Dutch vote would definitely have gone for Luis van Gaal."[LNB]"John Terry didn't sound impressed when he was asked about it."[LNB]"The manager that Roman Abramovich should have gone for is Fabio Capello."[LNB]"Well at least the (Korean) sponsors Samsung will be pleased – there is nothing like appointing a national hero. And he's a toughie and not afraid of big-name players, which will certainly help."[LNB]"He's not exactly one of the great European Cup-winning managers but away goals and penalties do count."[LNB]"Hopefully Hiddink is short term with a man in charge in the summer with cash to splash." [LNB]
