Odds look Sven could be on his way to the Cottage
July 1, 2010
With rumours flying around that the current boss at Fulham Roy Hodgson is on his way to Liverpool to replace Rafa Beneitz or more incredibly on his way to replace under fire England boss Fabio Capello it is leaving the spot of manager at Craven Cottage in contention.
Top of the list to jump into Roy’s shoes is former West Ham United boss Alan Curbishley, Curbishley was last in charge of a side back in 2008 before he resigned his post after the Hammers sold Anton Ferdinand and George McCartney against his wishes and managed to get £2.2 million out of his old bosses for constructive dismissal, this going against the board could make other boards less inclined to offer him a role.
Our favourite to takeover at Craven Cottage is former England boss Sven Goran Eriksson who is currently the head coach for the Ivory Coast. They had an impressive World Cup but unfortunately for them they were placed in Group G which was affectionately known as the Group of Death as it also featured Brazil and Portugal, even so they managed a respectable 4 points but it was not enough to get them through to the round of 16. With this is mind we feel that Sven will looking for a fresh challenge and what better place than back in the Premiership?

It looks as if Liverpool manager Rafael Benitez could be on his way out of the door at Anfield and most bookies have now closed their books on which team will be next to replace their manager. Reports from the press indicate that Benitez has been offered a severance offer to leave the club with immediate effect. If recent press speculation is to be believed it is rumoured that it would cost Liverpool somewhere in the region of £16 million to pay off Rafa as he in March 2009 he signed a new 5 year contract with the club.
