I'm sure City will just give him another raise.

I hope LVG will bring in people who actually have knowledge of the world wide transfer market instead of focusing on Britain only. Btw who is Jordy Clasie? Seems like LVG wants him. Pls no Cesc or Robben.

That's interesting.

2nd place is good for Monaco isnt it? They are not going to become champion unless Ibrahimovic leaves PSG.

Speaking at a press conference on Tuesday, the club's vice-president, Vadim Vasilyev, said that defeat had blotted Ranieri's copybook in the principality.

"We have taken the decision to go our separate ways, but I want to pay tribute to Claudio. He really has done good work. It was a difficult decision, but at this stage of our project, we needed to bring in new momentum. It's not the sporting or human aspect of things. I respect Ranieri a lot, his work. The only thing, the Coupe de France defeat."

While Atletico Madrid boss Diego Simeone and French legend Zinedine Zidane have been mooted as potential successors, Sporting Lisbon coach Leonardo Jardim is favourite to take over.

It was reported in France last week that Jardim, 39, had finalised a two-year deal at a meeting with Vasilyev in Lisbon with Monaco paying between three and five million euros in compensation to Sporting. While Vasilyev refused to confirm the name of the new coach, he also told media no agreement had yet been reached.

He did, however, echo the demands of PSG's Qatari owners last summer when they replaced Carlo Ancelotti with Laurent Blanc, asking the new man in charge of Radamel Falcao and Co. to provide more entertainment than Ranieri.

"I can't confirm the new coach. There are still some details to be worked out. That's not the subject. We want a more attacking game, to give even more pleasure to our fans. That's the ambition of the club," said Vasilyev, whose club finished as the French top-flight's second-top scorers, behind only PSG, last season.

"We're looking for a modern coach who can bring in new methods, who has a vision of attacking play."

I'm a big fan of Yaya's play but he's unhappy because his boss didn't send him flowers for his birthday? My boss never gets me anything, time to switch jobs! Somewhat childish or just looking for any reason to complain?

For the Dutchies under us, Kieft was at a talk show yesterday (de wereld draait door) where he tells about his book. He's been a coke and alcohol addict for 20 years apparently and he wrote it all down. Very good interview imo he's one of the better football pundits in the Netherlands.
