Reason #37,815 Not To Trust The Media
By: chris | June 3rd, 2008
Seems like the summer coaching carousel is trumping player movement thus far, eh? As much is to be expected whenever Jose “Gimme Gimme Gimme That Spotlight” Mourinho is anywhere in the vicinity of proceedings, of course. But now with The Average One (hey, he said it) off to the black & blue side of Milan, it’s time to move on to new, untapped sources.
Well the media didn’t go very far, moving over to the black & red side of the San Siro for the next installment of Breaking! News! this morning. When you woke up, Carlo Ancelotti, oh he of great Champions League success, had agreed terms with Big Boss in London, and was supposed to be the new Chelski gaffer by dinner. This even, Carletto stepped in and put the kibosh on the rumors, saying he is “150%” Milan. Oops.
So I went searching for an official link from any of the tens of millions of media outlets who’d reported Ancelotti had agreed to a big time contract to lead Chelsea to the promised land (also known as Old Big Ears), but all the stories had been pulled (‘cept goal, but they don’t really count). Whaddya know? Perhaps it had something to do with this little denial right here:
“Rimango al Milan al 150%”
Even if you don’t speak Italian it’s quite easy to figure out. Then Chelsea got into the act:
Contrary to reports Chelsea Football Club has not reached agreement with any individual to become manager, nor have we sought permission from any organisation to talk to their manager.
What’s the moral of this story? There isn’t one. It’s just going to be a long summer. Again.

I’m not sure what’s more sad/hilarious: the fact that this story was reported in the first place after Carletto and the Milan crew have said he’s staying for the umpteenth time, or the fact that Goal hasn’t gotten rid of it yet.
I’m opting for the latter.

#37815?
I’m intruiged, I cant think of 37814 other reasons. Could you remind me please
It seems people are beginning to turn Chelsea down, brilliant! Hopefully they’ll end up with someone they dont really want, they’ll leave it too late to sign players, and will sell players who longer want to be there any more!
Alladyce for Chelsea! (no offense to him, I like him, but he’s available and will turn Chelsea inside out)

And Chubby, channel 4 now report that AC wont be given the extra champions league spot. It will now be given to the second placed Bulgarian team, Levski Sofia.
