[ENG]

It's July 2012 and Germany have just won the European Championships in a final against Spain. Harry Redknapp has moved onto the England job having left Stuart Pearce to get on with the Olympics in peace and managers all over Europe are moving from club to club. Fabio Capello, having avoided the humilation of England has moved onto Inter Milan. Andre Villas Boas has finally left Chelsea, the players having made sure they nick fourth place of Arsenal on the last day of the season. Jose Mourinho has won the European Cup and Spainish title and left Real Madrid. Arsenal and Arsene part ways leaving all three of the main London jobs open... So of all the runners and riders who do we think will end up where? My guess Chelsea... Jose Mourniho, having got Abramovich to beg him bended knee with a clause letting him join Man United when Fergie quites Arsenal... Roberto Martinez, Arsenal keeping to their lets do things cheap and on a budget approach. Tottenham, with Harry having left for England Spurs set about dismantling themselves by appointing Rafa Benitez.It's July 2012 and Germany have just won the European Championships in a final against Spain.

Jose Mourinho has won the European Cup and Spainish title and left Real Madrid.

Arsenal and Arsene part ways leaving all three of the main London jobs open...

So of all the runners and riders who do we think will end up where?

My guess

Chelsea... Jose Mourniho, having got Abramovich to beg him bended knee with a clause letting him join Man United when Fergie quites

Arsenal... Roberto Martinez, Arsenal keeping to their lets do things cheap and on a budget approach.

Tottenham, with Harry having left for England Spurs set about dismantling themselves by appointing Rafa Benitez.

I think we could see a straight swap - Pep Guardiola to Arsenal / Arsene Wenger to Barcelona I will agree with "Chelsea... Jose Mourniho, having got Abramovich to beg him bended knee with a clause letting him join Man United when Fergie quits" but also a cast iron, concrete written promise that Abromovich will keep his nose out of the dressing room and Mourinho will have 100% say on transfers or else no go. One other possiblity is Dalglish decides he has had enough and walks out of Liverpool again and Mourinho is on record as saying Liverpool with its fans, heritage and history (me thinks he is a secret Liverpool fan as a youth and still) is the only English club he would want to manage after his spell at Chelsea. Fabio Capello to go back for another stint at Real Madrid Rafa Benetez is a good shout for Spuds but I think Daniel Levy would prefer a puppet he can dictate and control like Klinsman, who can coach / train the team but not be strong enough to question transfer policy, or react to levy's interferance, like perhaps David Moyes might. I would be surprised if Fergie packs it in for a few more seasons yet, he wants a final Champions league title. I would not be surprised if Aston Villa fire Alex McLeish and tempt Paul Lambert to have a crack at a bigger club but more importantly, you have completely missed the big issue, the major talking point - who will replace Steve Kean at Championship Blackburn? :)I think we could see a straight swap - Pep Guardiola to Arsenal / Arsene Wenger to Barcelona
