Was reading ESPN Soccernet news and found this report : Hiddink jets in and declares: Chelsea can win title New Chelsea manager Guus Hiddink flew into London to watch his first training session on Thursday and declared that the Premier League club could still win the title. The Dutchman, who succeeds ousted Brazilian Luiz Felipe Scolari and will take control of the Blues until the end of the season, accompanied chairman Bruce Buck out on to the Cobham training ground to watch the main session, led by assistant coach Ray Wilkins. After meeting with Chelsea owner Roman Abramovich and director Eugene Tenenbaum Hiddink gave his first interview as Blues boss and intimated that the fourth placed club could catch league leaders Manchester United. "They are in several races, the FA Cup is there, the Champions League and also the league," the 62-year-old told Chelsea TV. "There is a 10-point difference but if you look in the past of this league and other leagues as well, some things can happen during the final stages of the championship. "All the three roads are very important. The next game against Watford, and then Aston Villa and Juventus, and then you go on the path of the Champions League, and that is so attractive. The club has the experience to go to the final. "I have to live, as soon as possible, in the depth of the club, but I just recently talked to the players for a few minutes in the dressing room this afternoon. "I am not just here to add to my experience with the club and Premier League, but also I want to see these results as soon as possible. "The players are very committed, I have seen the training session, but sometimes you can have a little bit different approach to get even more efficiency out of the players. Hmmmmm............ new broom sweep clean or just to please the boss (RA) ......... Wonder how he going to stimulate the team when he has to jet about in 2 places .........
