Who owns leeds now? i thought old beardy sold up to some oil people.
I really think if leeds ever come back to the prem they could become a force with the proper management.

A very rich man i would imagine the amount of times he has been sacked and got a lovely pay off, you don't pay tax on a pay off do you?

Not sure if this is the right thread 8-[ , but how many of the current PL managers are likely to be in their job at the start of next season?
The fat waiter will certainly be gone.
Moyes to Chelsea?
Martinez to Everton?
Mancini to wherever?
Any bottom half casualties?

I can see Liverpool getting rid of Rodgers if they have a mixed start, it all depends on how he replaces Suarez
Fat Waiter = gone
Mancini unless he wins a cup = gone
Moyes = probably gone, think he's just hoping for an offer, the problem is I can't see it coming from a club further up the table than Everton
Martinez = if he plays his get out of jail card yet again, should move on, Wigan is eventually going to go back down
Rodgers = If Saurez leaves and they have a bad start next season, will likely go.
The one no one discusses is Wenger, if they fail to get 3rd/4th, if they fudge up the run in ...

Emirates Marketing Project to review Roberto Mancini's position at end of season
Roberto Mancini's reign as Emirates Marketing Project manager will be reviewed at the end of the season, with sources at Eastlands unable to confirm he will still be in place next season. The Italian enters a defining week on Monday night with the derby at Manchester United followed by Sunday's FA Cup semi-final with Chelsea.
Mancini was given a five-year contract last summer to indicate the faith Sheikh Mansour has in him and City favour stability, so there is no sense that the owner will be panicked into a decision.
However, with City 15 points behind United in a disappointing championship defence and the failure to reach the Champions League knockout stages for a second successive year – the team finished bottom of their group – there remains doubt over Mancini's position.
The Italian will face an end-of-season review in Abu Dhabi, which is to be led by Khaldoon al-Mubarak, the chairman, and include Ferran Soriano, the chief executive, and the director of football, Txiki Begiristain. If United beat City on Monday evening , and Mancini's side are then knocked out of the Cup, the Italian's situation would be weakened.
There will be investment in players this summer, as the club strive to avert the mistakes of last year when none of their first-choice targets was landed. Mancini is sure that if those players had been bought – they include Robin van Persie, who instead moved to United – City would have enjoyed more success. Of the prospect of strengthening this summer, Mancini said: "I am sure we can do well this year, that we can do a good job in the market."
That suggests Mancini is confident he will remain in place. Yet with Begiristain and Soriano forming a new power base, there is a desire to ensure their first summer in charge of transfer policy involves the right manager, especially as Mancini hinted at the end of last week there could be a sizeable outlay.
"I don't know how much money we can spend," Mancini said. "I don't know this. But United in the past did spend a lot to buy important players. Now they don't need to spend every year, £100m. United are a top team, they just need to buy one top player every year because they are strong. For us it is different, we need to do it this way and may be in three or four years we need only buy one player in the summer because we have a strong team."

That last paragraph roughly translates as: 'I'm a poor manager whose only hope of achieving success lies in spending money, lots and lots of money. We've already massively overpaid on some incredible players and a couple of complete donkeys, but I'm unable to make them work as a team and that's why we need to go out and spend more. Until we do I'll just keep moaning about it.'

I wonder how much Dortmund spent to win the Bundesliga titles they've done in recent years. I don't remember Gotze, Lewandowski, Kehl, Schmelzer, Weidenfeller, Subotic, Hummels, Pizczsek or GroBkreutz costing all that much, and these players have been pretty much the mainstays of Dortmund's side these past few seasons. Ditto the players they've sold, Kagawa and Sahin being examples.
Dortmund also play a far, far more appealing style of football than Emirates Marketing Project's frequently turgid approach. Again, on an infinitesimally small budget when compared to City's squillions.
If you're a good coach, you can find good players that don't cost the earth. And if you can coach these players well, they will perform equally well. Mancini has spent millions, and gained precious little to show for it beyond a title that required United uncharacteristically falling at the final hurdle and an F.A Cup. Not good enough.
Yesterday's Sunday Express reported that there's a clause in Di Canio contract that allows Sunderland to sack the Italian in May he also fails to keep them in the Premier League. The paper also revealed that the club's chief executive Margaret Byrne has already been ringing the agents of a number of Sunderland players to inquire if their clients are happy with Di Canio's training methods.
Di Canio has expressed his disappointment with the fitness levels of the players he's inherited.

Good lord. Talk about pampering players. What a footballing world we live in, and with it being a woman she's probably far too emotional. Bint.
