First premier manager to receive his marching orders? my money is on Monk - WBA.

Monk is at swansea. WBA have irivine. My money is actually on mark hughes

Brendan Rodgers, just because it'd be proper funny.

This Man United v Real Madrid game is really good.

Liverpool are probably kicking themselves with this United v Madrid game attendance Lol The only year the rags don't have Champions League football and they milk their global popularity with every last drop, Big attendance after big attendance whilst Liverpool messed around buying Charlie Adam and wallowing in their glory days of the 80's, The rags are making sure they stay relevant, It pains me to say it as a blue but Woodward has done well this off season with the appointment of the dutch c-n- and also the signings and all of the marketing lark. 

 

Having said all that, The 3 genuine CL contenders, Chelsea, Bayern and Barca have all stayed home, Europe that is. With Real Madrid not being able to win the CL this year what with the repeating process being impossible, Those 3 i mentioned are the favorites, Bayern favorites with Barca and Chelsea joint second favorites with us and PSG the dark horses. 

 

I say it every year but in the words of Tyler, This season is going to be STUPENDOUS.

You can see Van Gaal's influence on them already, quick to get behind the ball when they lose it. Good game and a deserved lead so far.

pre-season or not, impressive for them to be winning 3-1. 

I may be wrong but I suspect celtic had very little first teamers playing considering they only played a champions league qualifier away from home 2 days ago and have another this week

 

they fielded a pretty strong team (for them). I think they were looking for a confidence boost before Wednesday and it went a bit wrong...

i agree - it took them a while to get sorted after they took Mata, Rooney and Valencia off but they deserved the win and Real did throw Ronaldo, Bale, Modric etc at them

its gonna be tough facing manure next season

Ronaldo came on late. Manures played well to win though. Gaal got them playing well enough during their preseason games.

Monk's at Swansea mate. I think it's going to be Fat Sam that gets the boot first.

Watching the Liverpool, AC Milan game, Sterling with an absolute disgusting dive and the ref gave a penalty for it. Utter crap.

I'm going for Alan Irvine, West Brom.

As for outside bet, Redknapp? I can see him getting the boot when QPR are rooted to the bottom of the table with no points. Man's gotta dream, right?

Pardew at Newcastle might be a good shout. A bad start coupled with their poor end of last season could be the end of him there.

I hope they get relegated with him still in charge. That way he can't come out with any sh*t about he would have kept them up or can't lay the blame elsewhere, though I'm sure he'd try.

Actually broke the attendance record with 110K people showing up to watch it. Who was it on here saying a meaningless tournament for Yanks? Think the sport has officially broke the mainstream now.

United play Liverpool for the final on Monday night in Miami.

Nah every few years after a world cup they say football in america is finally coming out of it's shell when really it never does or even gains any real momentum.

Agreed, can't stabs the git either so wouldn't be too sad (also he's at Swansea)

Wouldn't shock me either that one, simply because the fans don't want him there, can't wait til they sack him then get relegated they might start to think Big Sam wasn't so bad afterall.

How about Frank to Citeh until January? I am a bit disappointed by his decision, I must say. Why Frank has agreed to it is beyond my comprehension.

Already two threads on this issue

Bluegraham, sorry my apologies, have not noticed it.

Not a problem

Didn't see the utd game. How did they play? I heard they played well. Did both teams have strong teams out.

Nigel Pearson for me, The promoted champions have tended to struggle in recent times and with Leicesters foreign owners i could see them pulling the plug on him if they are in the relegation zone after 10/12 games, The problem with putting your money on the likes of Pardew, Big Sam and Redknapp is whilst they may struggle, Those 3 managers have good relationships with the chairman and all of their chairman are understandable type of men. The best way to make money on the sack race is looking at every chairman and seeing if they have a trigger happy approach and how is their overall relationship with the current manager, I mean look at Fulham and Cardiff last year, Both had nutcase chairman's and they both sacked managers.
