Seeing as LVG is similar in many ways to SAF plus he does have experience at the highest level with some of the biggest teams in the world I feel more confident in him than with Monkey Moyes but he has been out of the game since 2011...again that could be a good thing and he'll be itching to carry on or the 3 years might have passed him by a bit.

I'm not expecting immediate success (although he won the German league with BM) though, as long as he gets up a top 4 finish next season I think things will be looking good in the transition.

Den, you keep saying teams should stick with one manager. Norwich are doing just that.

I wouldn't choose him, I think 1 pt out of 15 in a relegation fight was poor.

But..I have no issues with clubs changing a manager.

The retained and released players list from the premier league. According to this Evra has signed a contract extension and Lampard has been released by Chelsea.

Is this another one of those mix up of £ - € ?

There were several reasons why AM didn't win. The Referee was totally biased against them, and each time Ronaldo went down, he was looking for a foul.

And that penalty was very dubious. And what about yellow cards, for taking off the shirts.

Problem is with foriegn clubs, is that it is all about money - nothiong else. If major clubs dont win any trophies, they sack there managers.
