It's gutting that we couldn't keep hold of Guus Hiddink, but Carlo Ancelotti will need time to settle.

It was a season of change at Chelsea, with Luis Felipe Scolari starting in at the helm, Guus Hiddink taking temporary charge and Carlo Ancelotti agreeing to take over - starting on July 1. Beset by injuries early on, the Blues fell off the pace in the Premier League and were always playing catch-up and were further enraged as they crashed out of the Champions League semi-finals on an infamous night at Stamford Bridge. But they were not to be denied at least one piece of silverware and scooped the FA Cup in a fitting farewell to Hiddink. Here, Chelsea FanZoner Dan Quarterman picks his best - and worst - of the campaign...

PLAYER OF THE SEASON: Tough one, but for me Ashley Cole just shades it over Super Frank Lampard.

BIGGEST WASTE OF SPACE: Phil Scolari! Player wise-though, probably Ricardo Quaresma

BEST MATCH OF THE SEASON: Liverpool away in the Champions League quarter-final, although the defensive performance in the Nou Camp was something special.

DO YOU HAVE THE RIGHT PEOPLE IN CHARGE?: Time will tell, it's gutting that we couldn't keep hold of Guus Hiddink, but Carlo Ancelotti will need time to settle.

BEST THING ABOUT YOUR CLUB: The best thing about Chelsea is the possibility of the world's greatest players playing there!

WORST THING ABOUT YOUR CLUB: Ticket prices being too high and pricing out the real football fan in favour of the corporate and foreign fans.

TARGETS FOR 09/10: To achieve stability with the new manager in charge and FINALLY win the Champions League.

REALISTIC IN'S AND OUT'S: Out's - Branislac Ivanovic, Andriy Shevchenko, Claudio Pizarro, Paolo Ferreria, Deco. In - Karim Benzema (Lyon), Franck Ribery (Bayern Munich), Ashley Young (Villa) as well as understudies to Ashley Cole and Petr Cech.

WHY I HAVEN'T RENEWED MY SEASON TICKET: The credit crunch as well as me trying to buy a house! I will still be a member though.

WHICH GAME CAN'T YOU WAIT FOR AND WHY?: The Community Shield - it means the season will be back!
