Wishful thinking? Why would I be wishfully thinking that RDM did not get the job? Makes no difference to me at all. Eden Hazard was brought up by Alcaraz not me, I am glad he never came to United.
Oh and for your knowledge, there is a difference between someone with the reputation of RDM and then someone like SAF/Mourinho/Wenger for example.
If Hazard ended up at Utd you would have been as chuffed as we were. Reputation has nothing to do with it when you are managing a club like Chelsea, who i'll remind you are Champions of Europe! Chelsea have been a decent club for around 14 years and a big club for about 8 of them and getting bigger every year. Even if Gary Glitter was in charge people would want to play for this football club.
