According to a Bolton forum it's Sammy Lee and Speedo to take over for the rest of the season.

Eh? They were 2nd from bottom when he took over and were 12th by the start of January, that's a big improvement to me. They see-sawed from 14th-19th in the first three months, hardly a consistent improvement. There is definitely a difference post Christmas. Well if you want to pinpoint a date for the beginning of their rise then the start of November would probably be when they began to show a consistent improvement.

They really don't have many, if anyone, of PL standard in their squad, it's a completely different game at this level. I can see them staying up next season in the same way Sheff Utd have this season but £20m is a drop in the ocean when considering the amount of work that needs to be done to their squad, I think another season in the Championship might have given Keane more time to prepare a squad of players of PL quality but I don't think they'll be the threat that many of us our predicting.

According to the NOTW he handed his notice in last week as he was assured he had the City job by Ranson but now that that deal doesn't look like coming off he's jobless. Or alternatively he could just be on his way here.

He's denying it all now. http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/t...ool/6605145.stm

And I forgot to mention it's clear he hasn't sorted out his problem with mouthing off to the media.

I can't see any of the rest of the top 4 after him, back to Blackburn.

Aye but look at Forest to see how clubs sometimes don't recover.

Just out now.

Relegated by a combination of Wise and Bates, awww diddums. Still not back out yet.

Hop scotch grids chalked onto the ground.

Absolute fucking bollocks tbf, they're the only team in the world who can buy any other player. Yes the PL was dominated by Man U before Abramovich came along but Arsenal were pushing them and Liverpool and ourselves were closing the gap. Chelsea have gone beyond taking the piss and if Man U win it this season then it will be an amazing testimony towards Ferguson's capabilities as a manager to win the PL again despite the hundreds of millions thrown at Chelsea by Abramovich. No club in the world, including Man U, could afford to be making the sort of losses Chelsea are so to say that any other club in the world could match them when it comes to transfer fees is absolute rubbish. I said nothing about operating at loss, I said they can buy any player in the world. Man United can still do that. Man U can't buy any player in the world, do you think they could have spent £30m on Shevcenko last summer? No chance. I think the point was made evidently clear in the whole Obi Wan debacle. So because they didn't spend £30m on a players last season that proves they can't? They've been doing it for years? Chelsea are probably more restricted in the transfer market these days, hence why they couldn't spend in January. £30m on a 30 year old? Man U could never spend that sort of money.

Man U 4-2 up now, nice finish from Eagles.

All over at Stamford Bridge. 2-2

Even more shots of deflated Chelsea fans

Man U 3-2 up now, sign of Champions.

Newcastle would be his most obvious destination if the rumours of him quitting are true. I can't see him hanging his hat on the City job when it's not yet clear whether the takeover will be successful.

Great to see the Chelsea fans looking absolutely gutted.

Saw that one. Everton 2 - Man U 2

I keep flicking between the two games and missing the goals.

Hopefully it'll stay this way, should make for a good game when the two meet at Stamford Bridge.

I really think that Oliver now uses the phrase "Geordie Boy" in order to wind us up.

She's probably negotiating a photo deal for his funeral as we speak.
