[Steinberg] There was an easy rapport between Alonso and Chelsea’s leadership when they met in London. Alonso sought assurances but he has not made demands about power. The title of manager was Chelsea’s idea whose ears pricked up when he spoke about wanting to sign and create mentality monsters

[Kieran Gill] The initial idea, according to one insider, is to be seriously challenging for the Premier League title within three seasons if not sooner. Per sources, they want to sign up to three ready-made players while selling those they consider surplus, with Alonso to be at the heart of it all.

[Sky Sports, Kaveh] Xabi Alonso will have more authority than a head coach at Chelsea. Interestingly, we've been told that it was Chelsea's idea to give him that title, he didn't ask for it.
