On this day in transfer gossip history… June 13 2008
What a difference a year makes. This time last year Big Phil Scolari had just been confirmed as Chelsea manager despite still being Portugal manager, and the newspapers were in fantasy land imagining what sort of flair dream team he would put together with Abramovich’s vast wealth. The credit crunch was starting to bite with [...]

Jim Magilton - the appointment everyone saw coming
Congratulations to Jim Magilton for landing the QPR job. You might think it’s not much of an achievement given that loads of people have done it recently, but on the other hand, it’s impressive given the number of candidates apparently on the shortlist, sitting as the favourite, or in the frame for the post this [...]

When Hiddink isn’t busy being linked to members of his Russian side without a transfer window in which to buy them, he’s been occupied this week with training, and motivating his Chelsea side once more.
