Nah mate, that doesn't fit the song! It's 'Glory, Glory Man Utd'.
Levy + AVB + Baldini is going to be one hell of a combo. Class appointment if it goes through. Baldini was voted Serie A's Mercato of the year last season - has a great track record.

Bit tricky to predict a league winner until some transfer activity gets underway. Man Utd will be there or thereabouts though.

Too keen to pursue a career in cricket maybe.Coaching?
And the poor spurs fans who think they could now sign Erik Lamela..
No.
Not unless you sell Bale.
I don't know how I missed this one, but personally, I'd say the majority here and Martin Samuel for that matter, are well stuck in the past. If the norm is to have a manager run 10 years at once just because he was successful once then why isn't Rijakaard still working at Barcelona? Or van Gaal at Bayern Munich? Or hell del Bosque at Real Madrid? 2 of those 3 clubs went onto achieve the greatest feat in club football under their next manager, the treble. The fact of the matter is a club's structure and hierarchy are and will always be more important to a club's stature and success than one man that picks a XI off a squad born out of the club's structure and hierarchy.
So get with the times people, and while you're at it, lose this stigma that a club has to be run a certain way and no other way, a club can be run anyway it chooses to be run, be it by a power hungry Russian, a powerless Sheikh or a ---- like Perez.
