Chelsea assistant boss Ray Wilkins concedes there's been "too many changes" of manager at the club.

"There's been far too many changes over the last couple of years but these things do happen at football clubs," he said.

"I don't think the Chelsea job is a poisoned chalice. We still have many talented players. We are still in three competitions. I'm sure Guus (Hiddink) will turn what has been a little indifferent period around.

"We are fourth in the Premier League, still in the FA Cup, still in the Champions League. I don't see why it's a desperate situation, it's well turnable.

"We've had a couple of poor results, that's all we've had. But we have a number of very talented players at this club and that will turn the situation around - if indeed there is a situation."
