*Official* English Football Season 2006-07

Looking at bit of coach swapping here, with Abramovich looking to get rid of Mourinho and bring in Roberto Mancini (would cost him nothing to bring Mancio as his contract expires at the end of the season and hasn't renewed it) who has started taking English lessons (didn't he once play for Leicester?) as Mourinho's replacement, and thus he will more then likely end up at Inter because he will still get the same wages, the league will suit his tatics, and plenty of Portugese and Spanish speaking players, and of course some English speaking players as well, although Crespo may not be too impressed with this. Transfer money wouldn't be an issue either.

The only other competition I could see would be from Real Madrid if they decide to show Fabio Capello the door (wouldn't put it past them to do so).

China 2 England 0, but young Siobhan Chamberlain was given a go in goal. Germany and USA drew 0-0 to leave England bottom.

I'm thinking Mourinho would prefer Madrid so as to face his old club Barca.

Surprised that nobody has mentioned about Michele Plantini being voted the new head of UEFA and is looking at cutting down the CL spots for Italy, Spain and England.

I saw he has no chance of succeding.

He has done that every season since he has been at Chelsea, and only an idiot would want to coach Real Madrid.
Yeah but he hasn't had the chance to take a league title from them. And perfect situation then with the job requirements.

I certainly don't agree with some of his ideas and quite clearly so do a lot of the big clubs. That one akin to a salary cap won't really work since the big clubs will gain more than the others and still thus dominate the transfer market.

There should be a cap on the amount you can pay a player in wages, really 60-80k a week is more then enough IMO and player won't go poor with the right accountant (find all the loop holes)/stockbroker/fund manager or advisor.

David Beckham could give up 70% of his new weekly wages to a different charity each week around the world and he will still be pretty wealthy. He could be walking along a street and a hobo on the corner wanting loose change and Beckham could throw 90k at him and not notice it and consider spare change and keep on walking.

Beckham earns say 100k a week, which is about 5Mil a year or so. Tax will take a fair bit off that, but still 2Mil plus for the year is more than enough.
We've seen greats like Best/Gascoigne who've essentially been corrupted by it all and ended up being dire role models just because they're getting paid far too much for what it is.

Beckham probably has a hot shot accountant were he can find the loopholes and pay bugger all tax. That's how the rich get richer.
