It is now time to switch to a new Money AM football blog as the world cup is now over and we all look to the future.....World cup 2010 is over, Bravo Espana, and Forlan, once again and bring on the new season !.....I never expected the last thread to be such a success...thanks all.... so this new one might go on for years without the need to edit the title...we shall see...

Owen Coyle could be sitting by the phone I hear.

Mark Hughes is a possibility, played for and knows how the club works. Ronald Koeman would be my choice but why would he leave Southampton?

But MH is Welsh.. how does that sit with you?

That's not his fault Stanley LOL!!!!

Solid Welsh support for EFC ask Dil.

Tim Sherwood anyone?
Didn't think so.....but he is English!!!.... ;-)

What cretinous behaviour by some clubs in the Pre-Madona Division http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-merseyside-36296116

Dane't lose your haair stan, if you, one's old bean, have any left. :-)) Goodness me!

The Carduffers appoint a right Trollope http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36319833

Comment required.. from you know who -):

He can't be worse than the last two so I'm prepared to give him a chance.

Do I detect a hint of resignation in your tone? -):

Lol , we have had the players to get promoted last two seasons but Ole and Slade were clueless on how to use them.

Half the bloody supporters could have done a better job so I think Trollope will get us to the play offs at least.

Nice to see Cardiff fan Heaton going to the Euro's.

Yes, Heaton has been brilliant all season so glad for him, never seems to get injured either which is a bonus.

Manchester united v Crystal Palace

Crystal Palace should be 2-0 up at half time. Very poor ref decisions.

Did not see the game except for the scores on a mobile......but perhaps England are really getting somewhere with great attacking football.....as usual bad defending lets us down but there is time to get that right before the Euros.....

From dour Scot to weird Dutchman and now egocentric Portugese, you couldn't make it up.

Man U shares up nearly 3% today.

See what happens when you give clubs astronomical sums of money to throw away , they throw it away .

Mourinho is a great trainer.....but you have to feel sorry for Van Gaal......you talk about the City being ruthless....they don't come anywhere near Football Clubs !.....
