Media saying Chelsea have decided on Mancini for next manager and have already approached him.

I always liked him at City and think he got a rough treatment from the board, the fans certainly didn't want him to go. Classy guy.

I hope not, I think his style of football isn't that much better than Mou.  I have a feeling they will go for Simeone who may decide he has taken Athletico as far as he can.

liverpool to knock Leicester off their perch today?

Well played stoke, at least so far.

Some ex players give you have a feeling will make great managers, most then prove you wrong! There is nothing about giggs that screams top manager to me.

do you have a contract out on him?

I loved the comedy of the angel Rooney brought down from heaven at half-time as saviour to spread peace on earth and goodwill to all Utd fans ... only for the Utd to play just as shit in the 2nd half.

Oh c'mon, I know there's still a few loyalist fools who think Utd are a special and different club of some kind, but you didn't have to match their stupidity.

It'll be Moaniho. The Utd board aren't stupid enough to not do it, and Moaniho isn't stupid enough to knock it back.

i think its jose as well, but they are more than a few rumours going around that they will have giggs as interim manager, and will then try for pep in the summer

Pep has already decided and agreed where he's going. Unless Utd have been putting out deliberately false statements about extending LvG's contract, they know they're not getting Pep.

not officially. its still between chelsea city and utd, and pep in the past has said how he is a utd fan

 

dont get me wrong, jose for utd is most likely. guess we will know soon, lvg is apparently after today, regadless of result

[kaosmark2]

Bollocks. 

[lost]

Well it wouldn't be a premier league season without getting fucked over by Clatterburg. Saying that though Martinez's football is almost keegan-esque, and it only worked for Newcastle because they could out spend everyone else and they still won fuck all.

Rumminigger (sp?) has said he knows where Pep is going, because Pep has told him.

So it's between no-one, it's already a done deal with someone - and given the timings, that has to be City.

Was there a more predictable 0-0 in football than Man Utd v Chelsea yesterday, Im glad I stuck £10 on it!

[Wooderson]

Poor lil' Tourettey. His fave quote of mine back in its bookmark folder for the next LFC loss. 

[eFestivals]

With Leicester having been top of the league, I realised Kasper S's old man had also been top of the league.

Which got me thinking: if Leicester win the league, would they be the only father & son who had both won the highest league?

(There's no need for anyone to think 'Lampard' as an answer, cos I've already double-checked that one - senior didn't win the highest league).

Does anyone know if it's been done?

[TheGayTent]

That Allardyce guarantees survival, a team managed by him won't get relegated.

I think you'll be the only one who will have had to check that ! 

Both Ferguson's have won the league - Alex and Darren. 

As have Ian Wright and Shaun Wright-Phillips.

Sam has a transfer window to use yet. I still reckon he'll keep them up.

I didn't think Senior had, but not everyone has WHU's yearly finishing position on memory so I made a point of checking.

Hmmm, a bit part, and due to nepotism. I'm not sure this one should be allowed.

And another bit part, and not blood-related - tho that wasn't part of the criteria I gave, so this one fits.

I was thinking more about 'big' players who played a clearly-important part in the team's success tho - as would be the case with the Schimichaels (if Leicester won this year)
