Big Phil gets the boot

While we were quite sure that Tony Adams could be shown the door, we hadn’t certainly anticipated that Chelsea would do the same to Luis Felipe Scolari. The flamboyant Brazilian’s chequered coaching career now has a black mark on it, and Roman Abramovich and his team have demonstrated a sense of ruthlessness by sacking him that has shocked several football observers.

We felt Avram Grant had been wrongly sacked, but big Phil carried quite some weight behind him, and was more than an adequate replacement. But the Chelsea fairytale has ended quite abruptly for Scolari, and whether you like it or not, he will probably go down as the least successful manager at the Bridge.

Chelsea sacked Scolari saying that the move was required in order “to maintain a challenge for the trophies we are still competing for”, further showing that Abramovich did not think Scolari could engineer a turn around at Stamford Bridge.

Scolari’s reign started on the right note, with a 4-0 thrashing of Portsmouth, but he will probably look at the defeat that Liverpool inflicted upon the Blues at the Bridge as the turning point of his career. From then everything went awry- the club lost to Arsenal, Manchester United and once more to Liverpool, and the recent draw against Hull was the last nail in the coffin.

So, who will replace Scolari? The first names being suggested are that of Grant and Barcelona manager Riijkard. Guus Hiddink is also a candidate in the eyes of several bookmakers.

We’ll keep you updated on this.

Sir Alex hails Ryan Giggs and Edwin van der Sar

Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has praised veterans Ryan Giggs and Edwin van der Sar for creating new records during his side’s 1-0 win over West Ham United on Sunday.  United sealed three points thanks to Giggs’ goal, and are back on the top of the Premiership after being pushed to second place on Saturday by Liverpool, who beat Portsmouth 3-2.

Giggs’ goal means that the Welsh winger has now scored in all seventeen seasons of the Premier League. What makes it more special is the fact that Giggs scored with his right foot, rather than his preferred left one.

Van der Sar broke Bobby Clark’s British record of 1155 minutes without a goal during the game. The Dutch veteran has now gone 1212 minutes without conceding after Samir Nasri scored against him in November.

West Ham manager Gianfranco Zola hailed the Red Devils after their win, saying that his side had tried everything known to them to keep United quiet, but were unsuccessful in their attempt to do so.

Robbie Keane named new Tottenham Hotspur captain

Tottenham Hotspur manager Harry Redknapp has given Robbie Keane the captain’s armband following his arrival at White Hart Lane from Anfield.

Keane takes over from defensive stalwart Ledley King, who only plays in important games because of a recurring knee injury. Both King and fellow defender Jonathan Woodgate have captained Spurs this season. Redknapp said that both the centre backs had no objections whatsoever to him making Keane Spurs captain.

Keane was signed back by Spurs for £12m on transfer deadline day a mere six months after he had been sold to Liverpool for £20.3m.

Redknapp said that Keane was a leader and had a personality to be a Spurs captain.

Norwich City sign Alan Gow on loan from Rangers

Championship club Norwich City have announced the signing of Scottish midfielder Alan Gow from Rangers on loan till the end of the season.

Gow was recently on loan at Blackpool and was supposed to follow former Blackpool boss Simon Grayson to Leeds United, but the move did not materialise. Championship leaders Wolverhampton Wanderers had also put a bid of £250,000 for the permanent signing of Gow earlier this month, but the move fell through because the player failed a medical.

Gow is the second player in the Scottish Premier League to arrive at Carrow Road. Norwich recently brought out of favour New Zealand striker Chris Killen on loan from Parkhead.

Everton sign Man City’s Jo on loan

Everton have signed Manchester City’s Brazilian striker Jo on loan till the end of the season.  The Toffees were looking for strikers after injuries to Yakubu, Victor Anichebe and James Vaughan left them desperately short of attacking firepower.

Jo moved to City from CSKA Moscow for a reported £18m fee in July 2008. However he has struggled to reproduce the form ( 44 goals in 77 appearances for CSKA) that made him a City target in the first place, and has had to be contented with warming the bench in recent times. With the recent arrival of Craig Bellamy at Eastlands, Jo has fallen further down the pecking order at City.

TSG Hoffenheim were also interested in signing Jo after an injury to star striker Vedad Ibisevic, but the Brazilian chose to remain in England.
