He was sacked rather than quit...

Very fast on that. Wonder who they will get?

[eFestivals]

after AVB as-good-as said yesterday that the players weren't his choices, his sacking was a certainty.

After all, you can't go saying that the owner is crap and get away with it, can you? You might have thought he'd have learnt that lesson in his last job.

[eFestivals]

Hopefully Levy has Allardyce as the name top of his list !

Hoddle, by the sounds of it.

[LondonTom]

Fuck I was hoping for one more game under AVB

Next up to leave, surely has to be Big Sam right? (Maybe Spurs will take him )

Well his dig was only indirectly about Levy - he was alluding to Baldini.

yep, but that ultimately reflects on the guy who is saying who does what, which is Levy.

No matter who comes in, I can't see Spurs improving by much. Any club stupid enough to sign Adebayor on the terms they did isn't learning their lessons about the slackers they've been signing for over a decade.

Is hiddink free at the moment? Heard him rumoured when AVB was being lined up for the sack a few weeks ago - reckon he'd make them a really good shout for top 4 again.

Nice draw for Man Utd, I think Chelseas draw is more difficult than many of the pundits will predict. In reality I probably wont watch either of those 2 ties. The city v barcelona and arsenal v munich are fantastic ties though.

[Wooderson]

Utd V Olympiacos.

LFC 2005. Hmmm.

[eFestivals]

The beeb says...

The early names being linked with replacing the Portuguese include current Russia boss and former England manager Fabio Capello, ex-Chelsea boss Roberto Di Matteo, Swansea boss Michael Laudrup and Tottenham's current technical director Franco Baldini.

Capello was at yesterday's game, wasn't he? That's a bit of a strange coincidence. Still, anyone who can do that world cup Heskey trick won't do better than AVB.

Di Matteo - he might be good but he might not. Surely as risky as AVB?

Laudrup? Can't see it myself, not for a club where his opinion on players doesn't count.

[TheGayTent]

Capello has been to WHL a few times this season - I assumed as a guest of Baldini. They worked with each other for 10 years with Roma, Real Madrid, and England.

does Capello still live in London? It would seem pretty strange for him to be so regular if he doesn't.

Capello now odds on favourite (4/5) and in my experience bookies are rarely too wrong about stuff like this.

I was about to say that can't see Capello giving up a national side 6 months from a major tournament ... but then I remembered that he gave up England with even less time to go.

Tim Sherwood to take over for the rest of the season then Capelllo apparently.....bizarre!

[eFestivals]

Even more bizarre...

Tottenham’s hierarchy was expecting Villas-Boas to guide them to the minimum of the top four and a Champions League place this term, yet also had dreams of a title challenge.

Spurs is run by fruitcakes.
