Manager merry-go-round
Herbert
So of the top 6 only Wenger and Villas-Boas (probably) will be in the same job next season. Haven't seen that much change in a while at the top of the league, should be interesting to see how things pan out.
If Arsenal want to win something they should follow suit.
Win their next two games and they get a trophy.
A lot of fans at QPR want Gunnar Ole Solskjaer. I'm one of them as he's on his way up. Then again if he came to the Phoenix, I'd be just as happy.
Some would say he is on the way down
There's a team called Odd? awesome
Mourinho to Man City
Ancelotti to Real Madrid
Mancini to Chelsea
Benitez to PSG
Martinez to Everton

Mourinho will go to Chelsea but Mancini will not be in the UK.
Pellegrini to Man City is all the talk
Forgot about Pellegrini - you're right. Just can't see that Mourinho back to Chelsea is in his or the owner's best interests.

Pellegrini to City and Jose to Chelsea. If it were me I would not go back, but I guess money talks.
Add Pulis/Stoke to the mix
And apparently Newcastle have sacked Pardew
Haha, so much for the 8 year contract.
If you were Martinez...Everton or Malaga?

Malaga for the weather.
Malaga = massively unstable environment
Damn - we could have got Tony Pullis if only we'd waited...!
Malaga = massively unstable environment
Agree, but living in Liverpool v Malaga. No contest for me.
Hughes to Stoke?
Benitez to Napoli
Good move for Rafa. Napoli finished a strong 2nd to Juve, s Champions League next season. Great striker in Cavani but he needs suppport. Ageing defence. I reckon he'll be looking to bring in at least one striker and perhaps another forward, plus 2 younger defenders. Torres may be an option.
Cavanni will be off very shortly. Surprised he hasn't gone already (nice to see that 50m is still a lot of money in some palces) but with Falcao going to Monaco, either City or Chelsea or both (in some weird timeshare agreement) will spend the money on him this summer.
He scored a huge % of Napoli goals so Rafa may be seeking 2 or 3 strikers
Hope Rafa can do well there. Will be a big ask to fill Cavani's shoes though.

He can't - Rafa scored even less than Torres last season. Disgraceful.
Will Torres go to Napoli as well?
He could do worse.

Haha. If he can recapture this kind of form, I reckon he can do anything...
Mark Hughes to Stoke?
Looks like it; likewise Martinez to Toffees
Both good moves I think - especially Roberto, will be interesting to see what he can do at a mid size club with higher expectations... Moyes has certainly made the most (and done very well) with limited resources over the last decade - and expectations are now at that level. Good on him :-)
I want Mark Hughes to go to Chelsea.
No, Sparky and Stoke are well suited I reckon. Looks like the Special One to Stamford bridge. What about Rob de Matteo? would he take on Wigan?
Stoke for relegation then when the over paid under performers signed by Hughes fail to do anything.

You still holding a grudge LG?
No grudge, we QPR fans were resigned to relegation after Hughes had stated the season before that he would never allow the club to finish as low as 17th ever again.
Then we lost 5-0 at home against Swansea and the picture was set. Not a grudge, but his signings which did come at some cost, didn't perform or appear to want to perform.
I just don't think he's as good a manager as he thinks. Neither do most other QPR fans.
A group of QPR fans have become the latest to place an advert thanking their old boss - but their praise of Stoke City's new manager Mark Hughes is firmly tongue-in-cheek.
The advert went on display today at a garage close to Stoke's Britannia Stadium and reads:
"A message from QPR fans: Mark Hughes – Thanks (for nothing)".
It was posted by the fans behind the Open all R's podcast via the Amscreen LinkLocal advertising network.
The cheeky advert comes the day after the former QPR boss was unveiled as Tony Pulis' replacement at Stoke.
Such adverts are all the rage at the moment, with Pulis himself having thanked Stoke fans in his local paper last week, which came after a group of Manchester City fans thanked their former boss Roberto Mancini, following his earlier advert .
Hughes left QPR last November after a disastrous eleven-month spell in charge, which saw the Loftus Road club collect four points from the opening dozen games of the season, which eventually saw them relegated.
An Open all R's spokesman today said: "It sticks in the throat that Mark Hughes will be operating in the Premier League next season whilst QPR have to pick up the pieces of a disastrous season in the Championship.
"Football fans are known for their gallows humour and our message is a bit of fun – and maybe a bit of a tongue-in-cheek warning to Stoke fans."
As in "The Mirror".
