OK he has just been sacked – bookies favourite is Zinedine Zidane! Erik van Hag from Ajax is another name suggested although reportedly he might be reluctant ant to leave before the summer? With 5 managerial changes before Xmas this has been carnage! ManU obviously have the financial clout but it is a poison chalice which other than Ferguson have survived.
Elsewhere Villa, Watford and Norwich all had a new manager swing, Palace are showing some resilience, and I wonder if the Brentford bubble has burst? Fulham and Bournemouth are opening up a gap. Bristol City and Swansea both dropped points, with City looking over their shoulders at a drop? Plymouths unbeaten run ended at the Valley, whist 2 late goals may give Sunderland a chance to regroup? A win away for FGR but no daylight at the top – 9 clubs within 8 points. The gas lost a 2 goal lead but are moving into comfortable mid – table. And Chelmsford are starring at life in a lower division – is there no one who can put some money in and get them back to the heights of 1971?
