Next Liverpool Manager Odds

May 16, 2012

Well, the King is dead, but let him live long in the memories of his loving, loyal subjects for his grace, style and poise as a player. Nothing Kenny Dalglish has done in his most recent stint in charge of the Red will trouble his top ten Anfield moments, but there is a degree of surprise about the departure of the Liverpool legend after a short time in charge. Now John Henry and co. may have an angry fanbase to deal with at the same time as needing to find a new manager, but I doubt they are unprepared for [...]

Next Aston Villa Manager

May 14, 2012

After a very difficult eleven months in charge Alex McLeish was relieved of his role as manager of Aston Villa this week, meaning he is potentially in line for a unique treble if offered the West Brom position, although I think that is fairly unlikely. His life at the club was not exactly charmed, but survival eventually became the aim and was achieved. However, the club must have decided that even if he had been able to call upon Darren Bent, and not had to deal with other issues McLeish still would not have been the right man for the [...]

Premier League Odds, Final Day

May 10, 2012

Well, this is what the whole year was about for Manchester City, whatever they may say. The Champions League was a training exercise for a club new to that level of football and marketing, but the aim since the money arrived has been to ‘knock United off their f**king perch’, even if Roberto Mancini is far too stylish to admit that publicly, and on Saturday they will get their chance.   If the Italian were to pick his circumstances for a final-day shootout, there are some aspects he’d change and some that would stay the same. Although City enjoy a [...]

Hodgson’s Way, First Look

May 7, 2012

Seeing as I did a fair few of the ‘Woy’ Hodgson gags myself in his time at Liverpool and West Brom I won’t be getting on my high horse about his treatment by the press too much, but suffice to say I feel the Sun in particular could have done a better job with their first headline of the new era. The problem with criticising them alone is that a lot of people did it, not just me, but even former cricket captain and ruination of BBC golf coverage Michael ‘the bore’ Vaughan decided it was funny to take the [...]

FA Cup Final Preview

May 5, 2012

With less than five hours to go until kick-off it finally feels as though the FA Cup is a tournament worth competing for and less of an afterthought, and after years of criticism that the FA cares less about the FA Cup than corporate pennies and FIFA representatives it seems like they’ve finally decided to make a little bit of effort and give the final a bit of space. Only one Premier League match is on as competition, and with that kicking off at 12:45, and add to that the fact this year we have no Cardiff or Portsmouth, but [...]

Roy Hodgson England Odds

April 29, 2012

News broke on Sunday that the FA has made an official approach to West Brom about their manager Roy Hodgson, and West Brom Chairman Jeremy Peace has allowed them permission to speak with the 64 year-old former Liverpool, Inter and Udinese boss about taking over from Fabio Capello. To a lot of people this has come as a surprise after Harry Redknapp had been singled out as a possible favourite for the post following Tottenham’s excellent start to the season, but since then Spurs have slumped and doubts have remained about willing Redknapp is to walk away from a good [...]
