i wouldnt mind seeing shearer take the blackburn job, just out of interest to see how he'd do

 

Would seem pretty sensible to me. A small club with a limited budget ran very well by all accounts. Would be a cushy little number to start with anyway. At the same time it would also mean Blackburn weren't backtracking over old ground (Souness/Dalglish) and they would have a fresh start whereas Allardyce etc. are just your Mr Average run of the mill managers doing the rounds. Would be a brave decision but the potential is there for it to be a success.

'Sky Sports News sources' spot on again, then.

 

Fishy as fuck how they break 'news' like this then instantly get people on the phone from Sky Bet...

Ancelotti punt shows Sky can move markets

 

    * Matt Scott

    * The Guardian,

    * Thursday June 5 2008

 

Coverage of Chelsea's search for a new manager by the rolling-news channel, Sky Sports News, has highlighted the potential conflict of interest at the heart of the organisation's business activities.

 

When SSN carried the news on Tuesday that Carlo Ancelotti was likely to fill the vacancy left by Avram Grant's departure from the Stamford Bridge club, it invited the Sky Bet commentator, Dale Tempest, on to the channel to talk about betting-market activity. At the time Sky Bet was offering Ancelotti at 4/7 but the news saw those odds backed in to 1/5, according to records on the bookmaker-comparison site, oddschecker.com. There is no suggestion that Sky Bet sought to profit specifically from the news on Sky Sports News. The bookmaker was offering a market in the same way as its commercial rivals and the channel was reflecting a situation that other journalists following Chelsea's attempts to lure Ancelotti also understood to be true. The conflict might arise since unlike other bookmakers, a sister company of Sky Bet - Britain's fastest-growing bookmaker - has the potential to influence movements in "football-special" markets. A spokesman for Sky Sports News stated that Tempest appears on a roster of appearances that includes representatives of other bookmakers such as Bet365 and Ladbrokes and that there are a set of editorial guidelines that maintain the integrity of the channel's output. The spokesman added that Sky Bet is an arm's length company with a separate management team to the broadcast wing of BSkyB and that its contribution is "a fraction" of Sky's overall profits.

The same people in the media saying Shearer would be god for Blackburn were the same ones who were saying we would be mad to get him in due to his lack of experience

He wouldn't be under anywhere near as much pressure at Blackburn

Q for the spurs fans:

 

what's hoddle thought of down at whl since being in charge and then sacked?

has his stock amongst fans gone down any for not being a great manager? or is he still revered as the great player he was?

 

just asking because of the shearer / blackburn manager situation, shearer/newcastle manager situation as it was.

scolari new chelsea gaffer.

 

they've done well there imo

 

Fucking hell. Very impressive.

 

Wed, 11th Jun 2008

Chelsea TV and www.chelseafc.com can exclusively reveal the following statement:

 

Chelsea Football Club is delighted to confirm that Luiz Felipe Scolari will be the club's new manager from July 1, 2008.

 

Felipe has great qualities. He is one of the world's top coaches with a record of success at country and club level, he gets the best out of a talented squad of players and his ambitions and expectations match ours. He was the outstanding choice.

 

Out of respect for his current role as Head Coach of the Portuguese national team, and to ensure minimum disruption to this work, there will be no further comment from Chelsea FC nor from Felipe about his new role until his employment with us commences.
