Makes perfect sense doesn't it? Hiddink doesn't want to leave his Russian job and Abramovich more than any other owner seems likely to accommodate him.

Hiddink hasn't had vast amounts of success at the highest levels but he could be really successful with Chelsea. His teams play a very successful style. If they get him Chelsea could be dangerous once again, but they have to get rid of some of the idiots they have there, Drogba being a main example.
