747man back 1st June.....I think Alan will soon realise I gave him an easy time

Is this just a rumour? If it's true I better get my sharpener out and sharpen my wits. You are probably more diplomatic monsieur Zidane...

Personally I think theres more chance of Irish Alan announcing he's bought a season ticket at Old Trafford ! Zidane

Convert to islam, have a sex change, but a season ticket to Old Trafford?...

The pair built the Manchester United star's new pool and have revealed they buried a club fanzine, a match programme and a Liverpool scarf in a plastic tube before tiling over the top of it and filling in the pool. (The Super Soaraway Sun)

Yes,according to the man himself,he went back to the UK on 6th April and will return on 1st June.
So maybe this time next week the first salvos will have been fired as Liverpool and Everton prepare to battle for top spot in the second tier of the Premiership next season ! (sorry I.A. ](*,)

)

See how this rumours thread is encompassing the main names in the English Premiership.....Christiano Ronaldo,Fernando Torres,Roman Abramovich......747man !

BBC wrote:Carlo Ancelotti has been propelled to favourite to land the £6m-a-year manager's job at Stamford Bridge. Sources in Italy say owner Roman Abramovich has made the AC Milan boss his personal number one choice. (Daily Express)

But Chelsea chief executive Peter Kenyon would prefer to interview several candidates, with Blackburn manager Mark Hughes also a front runner. (Daily Express)

Another target, Roberto Mancini, faces a messy legal battle after his dismissal by Inter. The Italian manager refused to accept the Milan club's £4m severance package offer and will fight for more money. (The Guardian)

Ex-boss Avram Grant has admitted he thought he would be in the Stamford Bridge hot-seat for the full four years of his contract and has unleashed some revealing opinions about the club, prior to his short reign.

"The club is overshadowed with constant wars as part of its strategy. The coach fights with the owner through the papers, fights with other clubs and other managers." (The Sun)

Mikael Forssell leaves Birmingham City for Hannover, guess he´s bored by the english kitchen and wants to explore some german comedians.

by **Irish Alan** » May 31, 2008, 1:58 am

Wow never thought I'd hear the words German and comedians in the same sentence.

Hows about this as a possible managerial merry go around....

Mark Hughes takes over at Chelsea.
Sam Allardyce takes over at Blackburn.
Avram Grant and Henk ten Cate take over at Man City.
Jose Mourinho takes over at Inter Milan.
Steve McClaren takes over at FC Twente Enschede (wish it would be Chelsea

)

That still leaves Roberto Mancini,Frank Rijkaard and Sven Goran Erikkson to be fixed up.

Ancelloti as the new manager of Chelsea ? Dont really rate the guy,to be honest.
He's got a lot of resources at his disposal but has only won the Champions League in 2007.This season they struggled to make the top 4 in La Liga.AC Milan (apart from Kaka)come across as a team of ageing superstars who only turn it on when they want to.

Sounds good Zinedine... Worth a flutter on William Hill... To up the odds remember Tony Blair for a peerage. Or maybe Blair to take over at Newcastle... Up 2 U...

Well the "special one" is going to Inter for certain, no longer a rumour...

Mourinho takes over as Inter boss

Chelsea could miss out on one of their top targets, Blackburn boss Mark Hughes, after he was given permission to speak to Manchester City. (Various)

John Arne Riise will head the summer exodus from Liverpool by joining Roma for £5m. (Daily Express)

sparky and thaksin????? i dont think so :shock:

by **stattointhailand** » June 4, 2008, 12:48 pm

Blackburn have confirmed they have reached agreement with Manchester City over compensation for manager Mark Hughes.

Well that's what it says Saint !! :shock:

by **Zidane** » June 4, 2008, 8:22 pm

I've always rated Mark Hughes as a manager but not sure teaming up with Thaksin at Man City is the right move for him.
A bit of a poisoned chalice....what happens next season if City have,say,only 8 points from their first 10 matches ?

So whats the betting that Sam Allardyce takes over at Blackburn ?
And for Chelsea,looking more and more like Mancini......but,hopefully,Steve McClaren

.....norfolkandchance !
