What a day in the EPL!

Yes please! Liverpool down, Aston Villa wins and believe it or not Fulham even managed to give Manchester United carrots.

I missed this last night but I believe that Mark Hughes has been sacked as the Manchester City boss… the year hasn’t really worked out for them in quite the way their big spending backers would have liked.

Just on the subject of managers, I am not totally up to speed on what managers signed what but somebody was saying last night that part of the reason why Rafa Benitez can’t be fired as the Liverpool manager is because he signed a new contract last year and Liverpool would need to pay him out a massive amount if they tried to fire him now?

Liverpool up for sale?

I see that the global financial crisis is starting to bite big time and now both owners of Liverpool - George Gillet and Tom Hicks - are looking for somebody to buy out their stakes.

Once again a big name English club is being linked with some mega rich names out of the Middle East - Definately a changing new world order!

What I found really curious was the rumours that the club has been holding talks with Jurgen Klinsmann to replace Rafa Benitez.

Amazing - the club gets to the top of the table and looks a genuine title contender and suddenly you have the speculation mounting that a new manager should be found?! How odd...
