Chelsea fans on Twitter react to Hiddink news conference
Guus Hiddink held his first news conference since returning to Chelsea as interim manager on Wednesday – and seemed to impress many Blues fans on Twitter.
Refreshingly, honest and relaxed presser from Hiddink, regardless of his recent failures I think he’ll do well at Chelsea. #cfc

Hiddink did not duck the issue of the jeers aimed at certain players as their names were read out ahead of last week’s win over Sunderland, saying supporters had a right to express their views.
One player targeted was Cesc Fabregas, who on Wednesday took to social media to deny he had rebelled against former boss Jose Mourinho, and fans on Twitter were keen to put the past behind them.
Hopefully, we don’t continue booing our players now knowing Fabregas is innocent. Fans shouldn’t really be booing anyway, it’s absurd. #CFC

What happened with Mourinho was ridiculous but it’s over and with now. Support the club, encourage the players as we must. #CFC
