Ranieri in P45 shocker

[Ace]

well not really

[simon]

Shame really the way they have treated him. ALthough it was always on the cards, still I thought the man conducted business very well considering. I wonder where he will go bearing in mind that he wants to stay in the PL.

Liverpool..Portsmouth...who else is threaten with the scak..Oh yes MU!
If the under the table transfer deals prove to be true.

[simon]

Looks like hes after £8M pay off

Good on him I say

Could be off to Tottenham

All from the Scum

[Ace]

Tottenham looks likely. He could go back to his home town Rome though. The Roma job looks a possibility too!

Nice gets you nowhere in Football management. If I owned a club i'd give the nastiest most ruthless piece of work the job, ala Fergusson

PS Im looking forward to Roy Keane becoming a manager

£6 million pay off, I reckon I'd take it easy.

Rafael Benitez seems set to move from Valencia to Liverpool.

I'm not sure about that. He has a reputation as a tough disciplinarian, likes his teams to keep a tight ship at the back then counter-attack. He himself has never played top class football and was once a PE teacher. Seems like Houllier Mk II to me.

... except of course when you compare his record of acheivement.

Before Liverpool Houllier had won only one French title (with PSG in the eighties) and was more famous as an administrator setting up the French academy at Clairfountaine. B

enitez has won two La Liga titles in 3 seasons, UEFA Cup this season. Not too shabby.

Let's see.

I thought that was the liverpool way. 10 defenders and a speed demon for the offside trap

Hit them when they're taking a corner, long ball up the park

No step up for Pinnochio then?

[Ace]

Here we go on the merry go round:

The press is unanimously agreed that Quiroz will turn down an offer from Spurs and rejoin United as Fergie’s number two in time for next season. Buttered crumpets all round!

Claudio Ranieri has reached a verbal agreement with Valencia and will take over as manager once he has reached a settlement with Chelsea.

Chelsea have confirmed Portuguese coach Jose Mourinho as their new manager on a three-year contract.

Benitez leaves Valencia
Liverpool are unlikely to appoint a new boss until next week, despite Rafael Benitez's departure from Valencia.
Benitez increased speculation he will succeed the sacked Gerard Houllier when he quit the Spaniards on Tuesday.

But what about poor old Tottenham

[Helmi]

I hope Mourinho falls flat on his arrogant face.

I wouldnt really call him arrogant Iwould call hima good manager who has won everthing that his former league could offer him. Unlike your old geezer SAF!!! The most arrogant manager in modern times. What has he done really when it comes to European football got a team full of starts to CL every season, so what. You look at all the big clubs in the rest of europe and they have done the same.

I hope Mourinho does wonders at Chelski, although I have to admit I hate the b@stards I just like his style. Bring it on SAF you old miserable git

Mourinho is the new Ferguson The press are going to start harrasing him now Told you nasty people do better in Football management look at Brian Clough

"Im not arrogant i'm just the best" Nice line that, he has just dominated the Portugese league and won the UEFA and Champions league so he has a fair point

Dont worry Simon, ManU and SAF are the past.
I doubt they will win anything big in europe (=CL) in the next 5 years. And even at home it will look tougher now with arsenal and chelsea.
You better go and buy some tissues, Ace!

Santini is the actual trainer/manager of the french national team. Before that he was trainer/manager of Olympique Lyon and led them to the french championship and league cup.
Quite good man although a bit quiet.
