What Happened

Quite a lot happening since my last post!, here's my opinion on what I can remember about Cappello, Redknapp, Liverpool, Rangers, Huddersfield, West Ham, Leeds, Chelsea etc.

Fabio Cappello resigns, maybe 2 years too late? I do think he's a very good manager at club level and might even replace AVB at Chelsea but was never going to get public support forthe obvious reasons of being arrogant and Italian.
Once the FA undermined him over John Terry it was only a matter of time before he walked, and I don't expect him to be jobless long even if he has to take a pay cut.

Harry Redknapp let off? OK I'm not a lawyer but that seems a surprise, maybe Harry's dog isn't as wealthy anymore. Now he's the number one pick for England manager? the press must be driving that one as poor old harry has a warehouse full of skeletons which they can drag up before every major game to undermine him, just ask Stuart Pearce who had his character assassinated immediately over an argument with Paul Ince 18 years ago (I thought every player who ever met Ince wanted to thump him).

Liverpool Muppets Suarez and Dalglish manage to drag Liverpool's reputation even deeper into the mud despite the American owners making them apologise in a bid to sell shirts in non white countries around the world.

Glasgow Rangers finally go into administration as expected meaning Celtic should walk to the title this season. Rangers paying for years of living beyond their means :(

Lee Clark sacked by Huddersfield, a complete mystery this one?
They sit 4th in the league, have only lost 3 games this season and set a record 43 games unbeaten recently. I'm sure there will be a few nervous managers around the league with Clark looking for a new job.

Lee Probert once again proving he needs a visit to Specsavers in the West Ham v Southampton top of the table clash after missing a handball that the whole ground saw, then sending off Matt Taylor for an imaginary punch that floored Billy Sharp.

Ken Bates shows he's still got it by appointing Neil Warnock as the new Leeds boss, Warnock is probably the only person who is more unpopular in Leeds than Bates.

Chelsea? how much longer for AVB who has managed to turn Chelsea into a very run of the mill premier team, I suppose they could end the season with a European and FA Cup double but it really doesn't look likely.

Paul Jewell must have been very close to the sack at Ipswich when they played the Hammers a few weeks back, but after tonking us they are flying proving that some managers should be given a few weeks longer.

Arsenal bow out of this season's Champions league after being totally outplayed by Milan, Ibrahimovic finally showing against an english team what all the fuss is about.

Congrats to Zambia for winning the African Nations cup on penalties.

I'm sure I've missed lots of stuff but that was the highlights :)

  1. Lee Clark getting sacked is a complete farce. What chance has any manager got when that guy loses his job?

    AVB keeping his job when the likes of Gullit,Ranieri,Grant and Ancelotti have all been fired for coming second.....well I don't know. I've had a few quid on Napoli,that's all I can say.
