Roman Abramovich's yacht in Leith Harbour

Unconfirmed reports tonight suggest that Roman Abramovich's yacht has been sighted in Leith docks. After today's events that have seen Chelsea sack their manager Scolari there can only be one explanation for his presence in Edinburgh.

Surely he must be here for top level discussions with Rod Petrie in order to acquire Mixu as the next Chelsea manager. Abramovich has realised that what Chelsea need is a forward thinking manager like Mixu, they have come to the conclusion that there is no point in having a midfield. They have identified their problem is not getting the ball forward fast enough.

The rumour is that Mixu wants to take Chisholm with him. Many pundits reckon Lampard and Chisholm could be the perfect midfield pairing. The two midfielders definately have different styles of play, Lampard being an excellent footballer something which Chisholm could never be described as.

If Mixu is to leave Hibs for the Chelsea job, this is just a rumour at this stage, I believe that Petire should hold out for a compensation package that suits Hibs and reflects his value to our club. I guess Rod should offer Chelsea every penny that Hibs can lay their hand on.
