"This [Xabi Alonso to Chelsea] is a real coup. There's no understating that."

"The word coming out of Chelsea is that they were the ones who decided to give or offer Xabi Alonso this [manager] title rather than head coach in recognition of his status in the game and the authority that he projects, the kind of aura around him, which I believe also came through when they spoke to him about this job."

"I know Chelsea don't believe that there is a particularly difficult structure to work within, but the track record of the last four years suggests otherwise, and I think within that context it is only natural that Alonso would have had questions, quite a lot of questions about Chelsea as an organization, about what he might have been walking into, as well as the squad and the football challenges that he will be faced with."
