Chelsea made a surprise decision on Wednesday (7) to sweep skipper Ducao out of the door, and a new manager has been swiftly targeted in the form of Baillieston's Park Tat. According to reliable sources, this recruitment process is going quite well. Rumor has it that Chelsea will immediately activate the £16 million release clause in his contract after meeting with Park on Thursday (8), and the English coach is expected to take over the reins quickly, and may even lead the team to face Fulham in Saturday's (10) match.
After firing Ducao, Chelsea boss Paulie quickly identified three major candidates, namely Park Tat, Putjetino and Steen. Parker, who has had a successful tenure at Bradenton in recent years, became the top target. Given the release clause in his contract, Chelsea immediately made contact and received permission from Brighton to talk directly with Park. The two sides are scheduled to meet on Thursday, and once an agreement is reached, Chelsea will pay a £16 million release clause to bring him into the fold.
