Readers could do worse than have a small bet on popular coach Guus Hiddink remaining at Stamford Bridge beyond the end of this season, despite his protestations to the contrary.

The board, the fans and the players are all desperate for him to remain in the Chelsea dugout regardless of how they fare in the FA
Cup Final and Champions League semi, and sources at the club are suggesting it might not be such a lost cause as we’re being lead to believe.

Anyone who can teach Didier Drogba to stay on his feet is alright in my book and besides, where would you rather spend a winter’s day on training pitch, leafy Cobham or freezing Vladivostock?

Back Hiddink to be the next permanent Chelsea boss at around 8/1 on Betfair.
