Watched Cardiff West Ham in the first play-off and saw a team that played less attractively than Sam Allerdyce's

Steve Bruce ???
And on another note I'm surprised Slaven Bilic hasn't been mentioned for some of the 'bigger' jobs this summer - Liverpool, Villa !
He's openly said he's going to leave the Croatia managers post after the Euro's !

The Liverpool job is no longer available.

On a slightly sour note, down at Pompey, two players who command £30k+ per week wages are holding out for their contracts to be honoured by the club despite the club still being in administration. I imagine it's down to their agents who realise that no club would take them on and match their current pay. It looks like they could be highly overpaid bench-warmers next season (if the club is still in existence!).
Any offers for Kanu and Ben Haim??

If you lost your job the bank would be holding out for your contract to be honoured re your mortgage payments despite the fact it would leave you homeless. A contract is just that, it works both ways.

They could always give them a free transfer, I'm sure clubs would come in for them if they were on a free and it might work out cheaper for than having them as bench warmers, of course, that's if Portsmouth are not trying to hold them to ransom, that often backfires when clubs do that.

It seems Rodgers signed 11 of the players he played in the premier league last season compared with four signed by Martinez'.
Anyway, did England play tonight? Is Europe trembling yet?

Looks like the press have found a way to pick on Hodgson already
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18337177
Ive been away for the weekend so missed the "backlash against manager Roy Hodgson’s decision to snub Rio Ferdinand intensifying." and "as it emerged that anti-racism group, Kick It Out, are considering putting together their own statement condemning the handling of the affair."
What exactly has he done wrong or handled so badly? I'm non plussed either way, I just assumed this team was for the future and Rio Ferdinand isn't the future. His own manager said he couldn't handle that many games, as usual there seems to be no evidence but a lot of speculation without any facts.

It's because Hodgson wasn't the presses choice, they wanted Redknapp so now they're looking for any opportunity to smear Hosgson. By the way, this is the same press that was saying how good Hodgson was as a manager before he got the Liverpool job.

The Sun have got the knives out for Hodgson and are determined to destroy him, just as they were with Robson all those years back. They wanted rent-a-quote-Redknapp so they could fill their sports pages with his funny little quips every day.
Some one should remind Ferdinand that there is no such thing as an England squad that he was part of. You are invited to play for your country at the managers discretion.

Oh dear, but no surprise.
Euro 2012: Netherlands 'subjected to racist chants while training
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/18363736
"Uefa said an incident had occurred but it was a protest about the city not being given any Euro 2012 matches, The Times reported.
However, Van Bommel said: "Open your ears. If you did hear it, and don't want to hear it, that is even worse."
I can so no reason why Van Bommel would lie, so if true the UEFA reaction is very disturbing.
