TM of Albion will be fired for his bust up with the chairman. The club have given him the next four games to sort it out and are fed up with his poor player choices and tactics. He must realize he is in the premier and not in the 2nd division with Hibs. Kevin Keegan has been lined up and the chairman is only doing this as he has found new Saudi backers and they want a personality in place come the new season. Watch this space loose to Fulham and he will be out. .

I was walking past my bookies today, when a crazy screaming man ran out and suddenly spurted the following rumours:
Kevin Kuranyi (st) Schalke 04 to Blackburn (10mil)
Roque Santa cruz (st) Blackburn to Man City (19mil + add ons (in other words, Nedum Onouha))
Kolo Toure (cb) Arsenal to Man City (6mil)
Yaya Toure (cdm) Barcelona to Man City (12mil)
Micheal Johnson (cm) Man City to Newcastle Utd (6mil although probably performance–based)
Gelson Fernandes (cm) Man City to Portsmouth (3.5mil)
Micheal Ball (Lb) Man City to Celtic (2.7mil)
Aiden McGeady (rw/lw) Celtic to Sunderland (6mil)
Antonio Valencia (rw) Wigan to Real Madrid (17.5mil)
Peter Halmosi (lw) Hull City to Wigan (1.6mil)
Jo (st) Man City to Everton (14mil)
Didier Drogba (st) Chelsea to Inter (11mil)
Adriano (st) Inter to Chelsea (10.5mil)
Jermaine Jenas (cm)+ 1mil Tottenham to Sunderland (exchange for Kieran Richardson (cm))
Nicky Butt (cm) Newcastle to Wigan (free)
Florent Malouda (lw) Chelsea to Inter (9mil)
Paulo Ferreira (Rb) Chelsea to Brága (2.6mil)
Demitrious Konstantopoulis (gk) Coventry to Swansea (Owain Tudor–Jones + £550,000)
Nigel Quashie (cm) West Ham to West Brom (£600,000)
Kyriakos Papadopoulis (st) PSV to Manchester Utd (7.5mil)
Carlos Tevez (st) (i listened particularly closely at this stage) unattached to Real Madrid (32mil)
Ruud Vanistelrooy (st) Real Madrid to AC Milan (12mil)
He then ran into some bushes, where he formed into a cloud of bats, which flew away into the night sky. Honest. I kept walking.

Chelsea will appoint Guus Hiddink until the end of the season. The reason being is that Zola doesn't want to leave West Ham half way through the season because he feels it would be unfair because they brought him in with no experience. Although he feels the Chelsea opportunity is to good to refuse. He will sign for Chelsea in the summer bringing in various youngsters and alot of the Chelsea 1998/1999 team as coaching staff.
Guus Hiddink will take over as care taker manager at Chelsea until the end of the season. He will then return to managing Russia in June, at which time Chelsea will appoint a permenant manager. The front runners for the job are currently Carlo Ancelotti, Frank Rijkaard and Avram Grant. All of these are keen to manage Chelsea, however Abramovic would make Ancelotti his first choice, as he belives the current AC Milan manager can finally take the Champions League trophy to the bridge. Ancelotti is said to be interested in a move to London in the summer, therefore I would expect this to happen. This could mean Ronaldinho could be brought to the bridge from also from Milan by Ancelotti, as Chelsea tried to sign him last summer, and a move to England could really get his career back on track.
Thanks,
In Arsene We Trust
Sorry Liverpool fans but . . Voronin's coming home!

I don't understand what it is with Liverpool and wanting more players, they have an excellent squad already which is only missing another striker and they are well placed for the EPL and CL.
Let's face they are not going 2 sign Bojan Kirkic with his buyout clause being 80 million euros nor Sergio Ramos who's buyout clause is 150. Its true they have an excellent realtionship with Atletico but they do not have the money to afford his 60 million euro buyout clause.
They may however move for Javier Saviola, who is a realistic option after not being named in the Champions League squad and Jesus Navas, who is getting fed up of Sevilla's lack of sucess.
Arsenal may be in for Inter's young defender Davide Santon as well as possibly Micah Richards, reports saying Adebayor,RVP and Fabregas will hand in transfer requests if Arsenal don't make the CL are false, Fabregas will see out the remaining 6 years of his contract and possibly return to Barca, RVP will sign on for at least another 5 years as will Walcott and Adebayor is still tied to a 5 year contract.
I'm not a Chelsea fan, nor do I normally post here – although I do love reading about "my mates uncle's dog–walker knows a guy in a sandwich bar outside the Emirates Stadium who swears he saw Peter–Hill Wood and Kaka having a cappucino" Anyway. . .
Rumour has it that the blues are going to suprise everyone by appointing Jurgen Klinsmann to the vacant managers post. Apparently he is going for a "chat" with the Chelsea people this week. All the talk of Ancelotti and Rjikaard is just the press speculating and regurging old stories.
It may be wide of the mark, but I do not claim to know any inside people – it's just a rumour that I heard from someone who does know people. .
Goonerman.
Not a rumour, an observation from someone spends a lot of time in Dubai, and contact with DIC staff, not the board .
DIC have not given up on buying LFC, they want a PL club, its the in thing in the region and as most members are LFC fans as well as Liverpool being the most popular club in the principality.
But DIC is an organisation built their business with shrewd deals, they don’t invest and spend money for the sake of it, they‘ll only buy the club when the price and time is right . and at the moment its not, (also they would n’t want to interfere with the Kuwaiti talks –Its not the right thing to do) .
If / when they buy the club do expect them to spend money the way MAN City owners wanted, with the difference (and no disrespect intended to Man City and their fans), Liverpool is a more attractive club to the big players so people like Kaka etc won't hesitate to join.
LFC Fan
To the person who siad liverpool fans are deluded is wrong thiery henry has always siad that he would love to experience a european night at anfield and is also good freinds with steven gerrard and barca manager wants to sell him to bring in ribery.sergio aguero will also come to liverpool, as athletico has already agreed a fee with liverpool and his father inlaw (diego maradona)has siad he needs a change due to his dip in form this season and as for bojan krikic spanish coach(vicente del bosque)siad him and fernando torres are the future of spain and would like to play alongside torres but the person who siad liverpool are going a buy roque santa cruz is wrong because if he is aload to leave blackburn he will go to man city because they will outbid us.
lfc fan
Contrary to reports, lfc is not for sale.
hicks and gillete are looking for a 3rd partner and not sell the club entirely. They intend to use this investment to pay as much of the loan as possible aloowing them to negotiate a further extension.
They have tried to get a fellow yank onboard however, no one was interested (due to the credit crunch). Hence, the link to middle east as they are the only ones who can afford the deal.
Talks with the Al–Kharafi Group did indeed take place however, they are only interested in a complete takeover of the club.
DIC are also off the table as they are not interested in bailing the yanks. They are just happy to wait until the yanks are forced into a cheap sale or ideally, they intend to buy the club from the bank.
So, as it stands. Liverpool FC is not for sale. however, this could soon change – for better or worse, your guess is as good as mine.

My auntie is a receptionist at the City Of Manchester Stadium, and she has just phoned me to say Hughes is clearing his desk as Scolari has replaced him! We'll finish in a European place with him in charge You heard it from me first
Rumours are going round my area that norwich city are going to sign zat Knight from aston villa on loan for 1 month.
Man u are going to buy miralem pjanic for 22 million pounds in the summer
If Villa can stay in the top 4 then expect Barry to leave. He has a gentlemans agreement to leave and it is his ambition to play with Gerrard at Liverpool, Good luck to him as he has give nothing more then 100% this season and has never let Villa down. On the plus side if Villa can hold onto a 4th spot or better then expect MON to add more England internationals, Micah Richards, Owen, Lescott and Joe Cole are all realistic options as English players know that Villa is the place to be at the moment. Also expect players like Delph (Leeds) to want to come to Villa as they know they'll get there chance to shine. Dont get me wrong Villa will be linked with Superstars but MON prefers with an English passion and mentality for the game, not a Robinho who thinks hes bigger then the club.
The Spurs board are getting itchy feet and have lined up Jurgen Klinsmann for the summer, should 'Arry not sort it ayyyyyt dan White Hart Lane. Klinsmann is thought to be ready to leave Munich following a wholely unimpressive season. He would make bringing Bastien Sweinsteiger with him his No1 priority.
To the people who wrote
"Heard this one from a contact that i have working inside Anfield. Rafa Benitez has been contacted by DIC who say that there take over is inevitable and that his job is safe, so he can now concentrate on his job and signing players in the summer.
Signings that are expected to take place are as follows.
Roque Santa Cruz from Blackburn 12m
David Villa from Valencia 18m"
and
"liverpool will then buy a striker in either henry for 12m"
and
"Liverpool will sign the following
–Gareth Barry 15m
–Glen Johnson 10m
–Aaron Lennon 5m(part of the Keane deal)
–Kuba 5m
–Sergio Aguero 35m(only if Liverpool get new owners)
–Bojan Krkic 15m(if Liverpool don't get new owners)"
you all have one thing in common. .you are all duluded liverpool fans
there are multible factor in here that prove that all your sources are idiots
i'll start with "Roque Santa Cruz from Blackburn 12m", Big Sam knocked back a bid from Man City for 15m in Jan and values him at 30m so what makes you think you'll get him for 12?
then you have "David Villa from Valencia 18m", Valencia even though they are in financial trouble have stated multiple times they won't sell him for anything less than 50m so 18 is WAY OFF the mark
So then we goto "liverpool will then buy a striker in either henry for 12m", Henry has already stated that he is happy at Barca and that he would only return to the Prem to play for arsenal so there goes that option aswell
and finally "–Bojan Krkic 15m(if Liverpool don't get new owner)" He is one of the best young stars and being only 19 and in the spannish national side and Barca 1st string side i can see why you would want him. . But for only 15m?? you going to have atleast double it to 30m, Barca don't want him to leave and he doesn't want to leave.
Finaly on the "takeover" news every liverpool fan on here keeps on talking about. So far it was ment to happen by the end of December, then the end of Jan, Now its in the summer. Why can't you get it that its not going to happen???? They have already stated they gave up on your club when the Yanks kept on bumping up their asking price. .
Well that's my rant over. .
Rumour from Aus is that ALoisi is going out on loan to an Chinese team to keep his fitness up in Hopes of making it back into the Socceroos squad.
Despite everton having first option on Jo (11m)in the summer David Moyes won't have enough in his budget(8m) to sign permantly and is hoping to sign a few young british youngsters to beef up his squad. Arsenal are said to be ready to pounce for Jo if he has a half decent end to the campaign for everton.
El Torro here
Big big rumours here. . are you ready.
I told you that Scolari would be out, incredibly sooner rather than later, he was never there to manage the team with gusto it was his pension he was after all along, seriously.
If DIC take over expect Mascherano to either leave to keep his International place or fight for his place, the problem is next season he'll be taking second place unless his form picks up and he starts scoring goals. Villa will join Torres next season, the yanks will sell up, The only concern is that they don't burn the house down as they leave i.e. getting rid of Rafa. Rafa will need to keep calm and not make waves until it happens. As a CEO Parry has got it wrong, a nice man but dim and DIC will have their own man place, i hope he goes with a big pay off, although im not a fan of his he has still been a servant of the club albeit clumsy at best. Chelsea are now in turmoil and the players realise they can't gel so heads will start turning. The Russian will get some of his money back from big sales, expect Terry to go to Man Untd or Liverpool along with Cole, Lampard to Inter along with Drogba. The only thing that will stop this from happening is if The chosen one returns to Stamford Bridge and I can't see the Russian losing face over that one. No, the chosen one will return only to replace SAF who needs to take care of his health. Arsene will stay for another season as he loves the gunners and yes Barry will be joing Liverpool in the summer and if you tell me he won't why hasnt he signed a longer term contract? Remember cream rises, the spririt of a team has to be right and at Chelsea its not, no disrespect Im sure you'll agree.
El Torro signing off. (Remember i told you about this 3 weeks ago.)
––AFC–– Arsenal will make a second raid on Russia in the summer for Igor Akinfeev(cska).
Fabian Delph(leeds utd) and Henri Saivet(bordeaux) will be snapped up along with a commanding centre back.
Hearts fc
Andreas Manga will join Hearts on a one weeks trial.I am friends with a current first team regular and he told me that Laszlo informed the squad of Manga's arrival during the end of training.He is a French defender currently unattached.
Mancs, your all the same! Arrogant, selfish, and stupid. To say LFC will not challenge and virtually claim the title before we are halfway through FEB (and with LFC still to play)is just stupidity even old whiskey nose isn't stupid enough to make this claim! Anything can happen in footy remeber the year Blackburn won it!!! Next point all great teams have a great manager and i h8 to admit whiskey nose is a gr8 manager, BUT look at those teams and what happens when the gr8 one leaves. Look at LFC, look at Chavski since Mourinho. Clubs go into a decline no matter the strength of the squad (chavski. . again) and i can't wait for ManUre to keep up this fine tradition, and go into a slow decline. It will happen and you lot will take a good 8–10 years to recover. Roughly about the same amount of time taggart took to build his 1st successful squad. NEXT LFC i have heard the same rumours as everyone else– the strongest being AGUERO to LFC in the summer. Also Tevez to Madrid and Manure to buy BENZEMA as a direct replacement. I have also heard a very strong rumour we will buy Bale and Johnson. Look for Rafa to try for a short term loan of a striker!!!
YNWA
Hi.
Well as off yesterday both scolari and adams lost there managerial jobs.
Well ive got a few ideas on who could replace them and why.
–Chelsea–
Frank Rijkaard, i see him as the front runner for the job quite simply because when he was managing Barca he played Really entertaining football and won the champions league, according to sky sports news they are after a manager who is out of work, so why not him? he's the best man for the job i said this in the summer and im saying it again now.
Bernard Schuster, he hasnt been mentioned, but the way i see it is he has proven himself to be one of the bst out there and its no secret that Roman Abramovich wants Accolotti in the summer , so why not schuster to steady the ship and get them as contenders again and then assess him in the summer if they win trophies then keep him if they don't then bring on accelotti.
BREAKING NEWS
–however i expect a decision to be made before wednesday and i believe according to my close sources to be AVRAM GRANT– (Great Source)
–Portsmouth–
Mick Mccarthy, he hasnt been mentioned at all but i think that he's the best man for the job, at the moment he's currently running the championships best wolves, but i think an offer from portrsmouth will be to hard to turn down, so maybe an early return to the top flight for mick?
Alan Pardew, he's proven he's capable of doing the business when it comes to the premier league,he's out of work and he's not exactly a Hard target to obtain.
Well there the two men for each club that i would see as The Perfect men for the job.
Now Id like to give you a few opinons on who needs what players and where im not saying these are going to happen but i think they could be good signings.
Arsenal need a goalkeeper, almunia is good but he's not exactly the worlds best tho, i would suggset the signing of Dida or maybe Ivan Toldo both of AC and inter milan. both are experienced and the age for a goal keeper (32) to hit there peak, whether Wenger will want players over 30 is another matter all together, but arsenal fansget this right,you will never ever be the best until you have a mixture of youth and experience.
Chelsea, well without a manager now its very difficult to see what they need, however if my choice Frank Rijkaard takes over then they will play a 4–3–1–2, which will consist of: Cech,Cole,Terry,Carvalho,Boswinger,Mikel,Essien, Lampard,Deco,Anelka and ?(npt Drogba)
Well they will maybe need afew strikers in the summer, well if there after proven strikers i would suggest going in for Totti And Possibly
santa cruz or Pavylchenko. on the out list for the blues then, ballack,Drogba,Alex and ferrerra all sold.
Liverpool, well i think they need a clear out of all there players and just keep the best which are, Reina,Carragher, agger,Alonso,Gerrard,kuyt and torres, no world class players being signed well in my opinion any way, i think another trophyless season with around 11 no name squad players coming in, aguero,villa and all the other spanish stars will not be at liverpool next season, new owners or not!.
Manchester City, i can see alot happening in the summer nothing to big but players such as bentley, santa cruz, Kuyt, upson, Gudjohnson atleast soneone of these players callibre to come in, with maybe one eraly big signing like Ribery if there extremely lucky but who knows.
Manchester United,
Well i have some Extremely Good news for All Manchster United fans, im watching Sky Sports News and the breaking news bar has just come up saying "Sky Sports Sources Confirms Manchester United are in talks and have agreed a fee believed to be around the 23.1 million pound mark for Carlos Tevez.
Well What Else is there, Neville out in the summer maybe? he's going to be 3rd choice rght back once Brown is fit, with him and Rafel currently the two best we have. Ronaldo may leave but i think he'll stay, if i was Alex Fergurson may i suggest offering 30 million + Cristiano ronaldo and Owen Hargreaves for Leo Messi? could be a great signing extremely unlikely it will happen tho, near the impossible area i think.
Well that's all i ahave for today thanks for your time.
The Original Ron.
Zola will not be going to chelsea he is grateful to west ham for giving him his chance at management and sees the west ham job as work in progress.also with the dic deal ready to be announced before the end of the season he will have the funds to push them to the next level.
Some managerial changes over the next couple of weeks:
David Moyes to Chelsea
Steve Bruce to Everton
Paul Jewel to Wigan
Mick McCarthy to Portsmouth
Darren Ferguson to Wolves
Avram Grant to Peterborough
The two that chelsea are looking at are frank rijkaard and diego maradona, the reason diego is rumoured is because they want it to be a publicity stunt to get more money and they want either a dutch or argentinian lookin team, that's why scolari was givin no money, another three name's that is rumoured to be interested is slaven bilic and jose mourinho and surprisingly and never going to happen because he wants to get into management ZINEDINE ZIDANE!!! with figo as a coach.
I did not even think that scolari was bad its just he was'nt givin any money and chelsea really miss steve clark
With Felipe Scolari being the latest manager to be sacked in the premier league, expect Deco to also be on his way out of Chelsea in the summer, as he only signed for Chelsea to work with Scolari. I would expect this to be to Inter in a swap deal which will see Ricardo Quaresma making his stay at Chelsea permenant. Mourinho is a fan of Deco and would love to have him at Inter, after Quaresma failed to impress.
Wait and see, this will happen

Martin o`neill will be approached about the chelsea job. The board at chelsea would be stupid not to look at a manager of he`s class. plus chelsea are a bigger club then aston villa.
Just heard from highly reliable source, there is a master plan involving West Ham, Chelsea, Croatia, and various staff. .
Zola will be manager at West Ham for the forseable future, Bilic will remain Croatia Manager until after the World Cup next year. . then all deals will come into play – Zola will be unvailed as the new Chelsea manager – with Steve Clarke as his assistant, in turn, West Ham fans will be kept happy by the announcement that Slaven Bilic will be their new number one, possibly along side Paolo Di Canio.
the Croatian FA know the Bilic side of the plan and have agreed as they get Bilic for the extra year and a half.
You heard it here first, mark my words, two years from know Chelsea and West Ham will be competing with each other. Rivalries aside, i think both sets of fans will be delighted. .
Also, from same source and i think this has been mentioned before, José Mourinho will be the next Man Utd manager, but not for a few seasons yet.
Believe what you want from else where, but the Truth is out there if you know the right people. .
Place your bets now, as odds will be high!! i have!!
WOW! My pal hangs out wi Artur Boruc and he herd all aboot the McGeady/Boruc bust–up in detail! Apparently wee Aiden was bein a bit wide so the holy goaly smacked him in the pus! My pal says the holy goaly said that McGeadys had it comin for a long time and that's why Strachan no fined him. The whole squad have had enough of Aidens petulence and he'll be walkin in the summer as he's been disrupting training for the rest of the team.
Wigan will line up a bid for michael kightly in the summer transfer window
Anyone at West Ham who is worried about Kia whatisface taking over the club can sleep easily. As he already knows the club and it's board he is merely acting an agent on behalf of DIC. Talks are very advanced and there should be some news very soon.
Their is a strong rumour which is going all around eveton/liverpool Arteta and Cahill have extended their contracts to now 5 year deals like they did a few summers back. One of the clauses in arteta contract is he will be given the captaincy at the end of the season. Meaning that Arteta will have the captaincy and phil jagielka will be vice captain
