Are they insane? The EPL cannot handle Big Phil. The man is crazy. His definition of ethical behaviour is wiring his players to give them in game instructions and trying to break the other team's legs.

Just look up some of his antics when he coached in Brazil. The man is batschit insane.

Furthermore, on the David Villa to Liverpool rumour, that would be AWESOME. Villa and Torres for Liverpool would be dream come true.
One thing about Chelsea is the coach has to be a character... and they seem to have been getting extreme with that. Ranieri was a character, Mourinho was even more of a character, Grant wasn't and barely lasted the season despite respectable results, and I'd say batsh1t insane would fit right in. Apparently, Ancelotti was their first choice and he said no. Now its between Spalletti, Mancini and Scolari. I don't see Spalletti leaving Roma, and I doubt Mancini wants another go with a control freak owner, so, that leaves but one option.

Villa would be awesome for Liverpool. They look prime for a bit of a clearout essentially being Alonso, Crouch, Pennant(?), and a couple fringe guys for Barry and possibly Villa and there's another English winger whose name escapes me.
