I nearly crashed my car yesterday, as  I heard the news that Glenn Hoddle has been touting himself as a potential caretaker manager for England at the Euro’s. In all honesty I couldn’t stop laughing. Is this man feeling ago? The same Glenn Hoddle that lost the England job because of comments he made regarding [...]

As the sole English club in European football this season, the whole of England should be rooting for Chelsea as they take on Benfica tonight. Not so Chelsea do well, but so we can proud of our country. It was refreshing to see Arsenal’s Jack Wilshere tweeting his support for Chelsea as they made their [...]

After a 5-1 humiliation at the hands of rivals West Bromwich Albion, the Wolves board reacted swiftly to sack manager Mick McCarthy. Four games on, Wolves are yet to register a win, conceding 14 goals in the process; it seems for all the world that Wolves will be relegated at the end of the season, and [...]

Several clubs have been linked with the signing of Eden Hazard throughout the course of the season, but in my view he should put his country first and choose Chelsea. Obviously as a Chelsea fan I want Hazard to move to Stamford Bridge, but with a plethora of options available to the playmaker he certainly [...]

They’re like London buses, you wait ages for one and then two come along at once, not that Fernando Torres will be complaining after finally putting the ball into the back of the net. After notching two against Leicester City in the FA Cup, Torres appeared in the newspapers praising new boss Roberto Di Matteo, [...]

Last week, the Football Association handed over more power to the Premier League after the government ordered a re-shape of the organisation. This was another significant battle won by the Premier League after the Elite Players Performance Programme (EPPP) was passed by the football leagues, with the Premier League on such a power drive, it’s [...]

Winning the Premier League is the next step in City’s evolution and if Roberto Mancini fails to deliver after being in the clear for such a long period of the season, he will more than likely find himself out of a job, but with Chelsea on the hunt for a new manager, could Mancini finally [...]

It’s been coming for nearly 20 years now, but finally the money men of the Premier League have finally won the power battle with the FA. Last Wednesday the FA gave their ‘private’ response to the government recommendations about the structure of the FA and it’s governance and it’s widely thought that the FA have [...]

As soon as we learned that Fabio Capello would be standing down as England manager after the European Championship in Poland and Ukraine, it was decided by some that Harry Redknapp was the ideal choice to take over. He’d broken into the top four with Spurs and perhaps more importantly, he was English. It’s with that criteria [...]

It’s a hell of a work experience placement being given the managers job at Chelsea until the end of the season. How Roberto Di Matteo handles that role will make or break his future career as a manager. Let’s get one thing straight, Di Matteo will not be Chelsea’s next manager (unless of course he wins [...]

Job Title: Chelsea first team manager Job Description : Win every single trophy without spending to much of the owners money. Must not upset prima-donna superstars and can’t lose many games. Very good pay (even better pay offs) Now that’s not a very good way to promote your vacant managerial role, you’d have to be either desperate or [...]

Normally, these type of pieces are where supporters pick the world’s best players as the ones that their club should sign, but lets face it, Chelsea aren’t going to get Messi or Ronaldo to Stamford Bridge. So I did the thing that the past six Chelsea managers didn’t and chose a right back and in particular, [...]

With Andre Villas-Boas sacked, and Jose Mourinho house hunting in the Chelsea area, the rumours about a return to Stamford Bridge for the Special One have gone into over-drive, but would a return to Chelsea be the right move for Mourinho? Returning to a scene of former glory is always difficult, with memories still fresh of [...]

After Micah Richard’s claim that Fabio Capello “had his favourites”, I look at the top five Manager’s pets and how their relationships panned out. 5) Fabio Capello and John Terry Although it was Capello’s choice to strip Terry of the armband after allegations surfaced of Terry’s reported affair with Wayne Bridge’s former girlfriend, Capello quickly [...]

Liverpool are set to step up their interest in 19-year-old FC Basel midfielder Granit Xhaka by making a second visit to scout him after Director of Football Damien Comolli received glowing reports about the Swiss starlet. Xhaka impressed Liverpool scouts with a fantastic display in Basel’s 1-0 win against Bayern Munich in the Champions League, and Comolli [...]

Newcastle United have emerged as favourites to land 24-year-old Frenchman Benjamin Corgnet, according to TalkSport. Alan Pardew is reportedly determind to secure Corgnet’s signature and leads over Premier League rivals Arsenal in the chase to land Dijon’s star midfielder. Corgnet, has impressed so far in Ligue 1, and was Dijon star man in their promotion last season [...]
