Avram Grant has had his contract terminated. Now theres a suprise.

Frank Rijkaard next in line?

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Who want's a job where 2nd in the League and a Champions League Final gets you fired? Chelsea are going to ruin themselves.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Half hour left to go and it's not looking good for Leeds United.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

woohooo Leeds remain in league 1 :D

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

It couldn't have happened to a nicer club ;)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Terry can spit on you, you hit him and get sent off, then Rijkaard can gob on you as you leave the pitch. They should play it safe and get Diouff in, get you as you go down the tunnel.

Best bit of Wed was seeing Kenyon, with his face on the floor, getting wet. No more players on his Old Trafford dossier and wondering where he goes from here.

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

just wish Leeds got put into league 2 for the trick they played last season....

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

I loved how clear the chant coming from the United fans was when he led Chelsea up to get their losers medals :D

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

I didn't hear that, as I was busy swearing at him...what was it? :)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Peter Kenyon is a <insert word that rhymes with banker> :)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

well he did have a good "education" in that from the previous club he was at Shadow ;)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Funnily enough, that is exactly what I was singing ;)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

:LOL: Funny thing is, he is :LOL:

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Just back from Wembley, sadly Rochdale lost in the Div 2 play offs. Some great goals. Honours even in the first half but Stockport played the better football in the second. Good luck to them in Div 1 next season.

Wembley stadium is awesome, thankfully we took our own refreshments,the price of those in the ground is also awesome.:rolleyes:

Jim.

I think Hughes with Zola in some sort of coaching role could be a good option

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

I found this article intresting - http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/7417746.stm

It seems that if Blatter gets his way with his six plus five plan all but two premier league clubs will be in trouble with Arsenal's disgraceful average of 0.34 English players per game leaving them totally screwed. I can't see his plan working anyway with all the EU laws and i don't think it will work well if they get it in place. What happens if you get four of five injuries to players that are all English at the same time? It will push up prices for English players even more than they are now (Darren Bent).

I would just like to point out that United had six English players start the Champions league final ;) :)

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

I actually think this rule is quite good. It's not so much aimed at the big clubs but some of the teams in divisions lower down the leagues like the Championship or League One etc who instead of fielding an English player they field a foreign player instead. Because of this there are less English players further down the leagues to be brought by the top clubs which is one of the reasons they are always more expensive as the lower clubs don't have as big a pool to sell on due to the cheap imports they buy they have to charge more for the one or two players they can sell on.

In Austria all the top players go to Germany and their local league is full of poles and slovaks who weren't good enough to move into a bigger European league.

Going further imagine if you lived in Antwerp and your loval side was Royal Antwerp. You can't want any local Belguim players as they have an agreement with us so it's full of either United rejects or African's etc just player there for two years until they get an EU passport. A number of other top European clubs have similar agreements with clubs and ship players out like this but think about how the fans must feel who supported these clubs for 20 years or more.

The game does need some protecting from these sort of things

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008

Mourinhio to Inter and Mancini to Chelsea?

Henk ten Cate has just been sacked by Chelsea as well, why didn't they just do that when they sacked Grant instead of stretching it out over five days?

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Hmm that rules Riijkaard out then, wasn't him and Ten Cate buddies?

Anyone else see Erikson ending up there?

Re: Football : Season 2007/2008
 

Arsenal's injured striker Eduardo da Silva could make a miraculous return to action as early as July.
