City have now apologised to United over Tevez's actions.

He got the sign from a fan and apparently it was for Fergie saying "not in my lifetime" or whatever, still a moron.

this time of the year it's like trade week x 1000.

It is.

Apparently Chelsea are ready to offer £15m & Fernando Torres to Athletico Madrid for their Colombian hot-shot Radamel Falcao Can't see that happening.

Looks like someone did notice as rumours around Dalglish is going to(or has) get the sack.

Seems the Fenway Sports Group aren't happy with the way their club is being run as they have also sacked 6 executives.

Liverpool have parted company with manager Kenny Dalglish, with Wigan's Roberto Martinez favourite to replace him.

As a Liverpool fan I'm a touch sad. Kenny has & will always be a club legend, but results this season have been awful, Liverpool's lowest points total since 1953/54 (& we all know how long ago that is!).

Clearly the right decision & if Wigan manager, Roberto Martinez is appointed I'll be thrilled. As Remi Moses said last week, they're easy on the eye when referring to Wigan.

Certainly no surprise Mccleish bit the dust.
Dalgleish had to go as well his results were awful.Martinez would be hot favourite.

AVB also in the mix.

As is Paul Lambert (Norwich), Brendan Rogers (Swansea), Jurgen Klopp (Dortmund), Didier Deschamps (Marseille) & Rafa Benitez.

Hiddink, Low or Capello are who I want for Chelsea.

What's wrong with RDM? I thought that the consensus was that he's done an amazing job since taking over, plus he's an actual Chelsea man, and the players seem to want to play for him and the shirt. It's almost exactly what Chelsea has required after a succession of highly-paid mercenary coaches have failed to deliver or inspire. RDM's done more in Europe than anyone except Jose, who also only made one CL final with Chelsea and had more than half a season to do so.

Why the desire to look elsewhere? Has RDM said he's not staying?

I am a RDM fan, but it's not the way the club is going to go unfortunately.

That is crazy.. his record is incredible. Well, I suppose King Kenny also did well as a caretaker last year, and it's not my money these guys are throwing around.

(Speaking of which, Liverpool or some other EPL club should really look at RDM, then. I think he's better at a bigger club with some money to spend and some talent on the books.. his tactical nous is wasted at the bottom end of the table.)

ps. if Chelsea win the CL, RDM would have won the FA Cup AND Roman's holy grail of the European Cup, all in half a season, yet they'll still get rid of him? Madness.
