Ancelotti's fired.

Good.

But it really depends on who they are bringing in. People say that it's an easy job, but if that squad don't like you they simply won't play for you.

He should be grateful Whelan is keeping him in employment. No other club in the Premier League would go near Martinez.

I think he's done a great job with the resources available,even managing to cut the wage bill for DW ! He's bought pretty cannily,full credit to him

A few early bets on Benitez taking over. IMO, if Roman is serious about revamping his squad and will allow Rafa to do that, it could be a good appointment. Leave things how they are and let the players run the club and the sackings will probably become annual.

I think Abramovich will go for a big European name myself.

Has he cut the wage bill?
Bought cannily? Jason Scotland, Mario Boselli, Hendry Thomas...
They'll really struggle without N'Zogbia.

The Special One to return?

Re: Football Chat Thread : Sun May 22, 2011 7:33 pm  

All week i've been reading the papers and listening to the radio and not 1 so called expert had Rovers winning at Wolves.A special up yours tonight to Craig Burley who on espn press pass a couple of days ago said he wanted us and Wigan to get relegated because the only time he wanted to visit us was when he is being paid to and to gorilla man Richard Keys who said on Talksport earlier this week that there was no chance of us beating Wolves.

Maybe they should go for Roy Hodgson? He's got Premier League Experience and he's worked on the continent. Maybe they should go for Sparky, he's had a storming season at Fulham. Both of them are really nice blokes as well.

Maybe they should go for McLeish, those at Sky said he's done a fantastic job. His signing of Zigic must go down as one of the most influential in premier league history.
