I think it would be the best thing that could happen for the club. It seems to be business gone wrong. They were brought there not to help West Ham but to help out in a business deal I think.

I think he would be a good choice, but in the Free Press they are reporting that he is not interested...if his heart isn't 100% in it, then I wouldn't sell him on the job.

i don't follow Chelsea but lets face it they can buy who they want, most players have a price ( not all ) but at the same time i think a few of there players unless there just in it for the money wish they had not joined . i respect Alan shearer for going to Newcastle and the likes of le tissier who probably could of had a big money move. they deserve to be where they are but they ain't helping some talented players and who they have signed all ready i think it will only get worse...... good luck to them tho if they win the premiership next season. i follow a premiership club not mentioning which club but i don't envy Chelsea just like any other team in our league.

Thierry Henry doesn't like being under presure, and I think if he goes to Barcelona, he will not perform, and not last more than a season. He has to compete with Ronaldihno, Et'o and the rest, and I don't think he suits their style, he'd be stuck on the left wing like when he played for Juventus.\n\nHe should stay at Arsenal and lead out the team at Ashburton Grove, however, money talks, and if the deal is right get rid of him for £30 odd million and buy 4-5 replacements in.

no this is svens cup tilt. Everyone thinks of the manager as the winner of the cup thats why I believe its important that an englishman is manager of the english team. In 5years time no one will remember all the team they will remember the manager, and remember him as Swedish. Do you think he will let McClaren take his glory NO.

Yes most definitely.  There is no excuse for his behaviour yesterday, and I will be very interested to see what action the FA takes against him.

The answer to your question is No, The team they have are still too good to be relagated. Lindsay won't resign and Whelan will put money into the club. It's in his best interest to have two top flight teams, not just one. From an ancient and loyal fan. Wigan, Wiagn, Wigan, Wigan, Wigan.\nSay we are stayin up, say we are stayin up. Wigan till i die, i'm Wigan till i die. I know i am, i'm sure i am i'm Wigan till i die!!!!

no,you have to give him time.i think he is a good manager.remember you lost your best player this year and it will be very difficult to replace a proven goalscorer.

Nowt to do with the answer you seek, but interesting that Long is quoted in my local paper as using the word "just" no less than ten times in 4 short sentences.  Better than most RL and soccer players' "y'know" repetition in interviews!  \nLions' tails between legs tomorrow.  I feel sorry for them. But hopeful too. Could have done with Rob Burrow alongside Danny Mc.

He should be. No matter how much I hate Middlesbrough they were a farely attacking team under Mcclarren. Hopefully we'll have more to cheer under him (unless we win the World cup, but I'm not holding my breath). I still think Scolari or Martin O'neill would be better. In the end, Boro may have got to the Uefa Cup Final but they finished 14th in the league.

I'd be nice, but as the Papists have already quickly pointed out, we probably wouldn't fill it that often.  At last year's AGM there was talk of an 8000ish extension by lowering the pitch a few metres and losing the extra space around the pitch.  Personally I'd have to say that I'd prefer the money to go into the transfer kitty, or maybe even giving Chris Burke as much money as he we can throw at him so he signs a new deal.

Get a life. People like you ensure that the media do their all to ruin the careers of players. So long as they (the players) are reprimanded, what is the problem? Do you really need to know? \n\nThe likely result of these people using a drug of choice (marijuana, speed, ecstasy, LSD, cocaine, whatever) will become a personal problem. As a result of the player payments being higher than they possibly should be, there are a number of players who don't know what the true value of money is. They also don't realise that there are other valid options as to what they do in their spare time (which can be substantial). \n\nI say that the clubs should be held accountable, and as such the clubs should be paying them less, educating them more, and accepting the responsibility of poor choices. There are arguments against my thoughts here. Why should the club be held accountable for the acitons of the indiviual when they are removed from the direct employment? After all, other employers are not held accountable for the irresponsible behaviour of their employees outside of standard work hours.\n\nNeed I go on?\n\nCheers, L

According to Bolton's media officer, they said they wanted to reduce the average age of their player.\n\nWhen an average is taken of player's ages in the premiership, they are the oldest team in the premiership and i think they want to drop that cloak. Its sad because i think player employment should be determined by their performance.

Went to a sports forum recently where Martin O Neil was answering fans questions. When asked which players he would be targeting in the transfer window he declined to be drawn. He did say the players he may want to bring into the club may not be available in the transfer window. My gut feeling is he will bolster the squad in January as a short term measure, the main business will be done in the summer. The local papers have run pieces on all the players mentioned. Any decent unsettled player will know be linked to Villa because of Mr Lerner's millions we just have to wait and see. Come on Villa!

tough one.\nThe money paid to the so called "top players" is out of all proportion.\nYou cannot  put the fire or the hunger back unless they are hungry. \nIn the UK, there are too many overseas players (bought to ensure the success of the big clubs) and not enough good young British players get the chance to come through. It's a CATCH 22, they don't get the experience & they can't get picked without proving their ability.\nYou are right about the achilles heel - it's gone too far at this stage.\nYou need really good leadership that can create a hunger for success, England didn't have it with Sven, Chelsea & United have had it in recent years. Can Steve McClaren create the desire for success with the English team - where money is secondary to cash? Perhaps.

Have anybody heard lampard to barca?\n\nAnswer:\nReports in this week's papers claim that Barcelona are ready to step up their bid to sign Chelsea and England midfielder Frank Lampard, with a swap deal for Portuguese international Deco being mooted. However, Deco is having none of it: "I don't know anything about it but that is not a problem for me," he said. "I have a contract signed with Barcelona and my unique preoccupation is to play each Sunday" .
