    Is it? I found it a surprise that they gave him such a long contract and would be shocked if there wasn’t any get out clauses.

    Yes, a years notice by all accounts.

    People putting 2 and 2 together and coming up with 4. Ex players going straight into management a la Di Canio and Laudrup

    Some bookies were offering odds on Giggs and Scholes managing Man Utd before Moyes was confirmed

    Phil Neville is different though, he'd genuinely take the Everton job.

    Perhaps he resigned to take charge of New York City, what with their tie up with the Yankees, they would love their manager to be used to wearing a baseball cap! :D;)

    Next season is looking even more unpredictable when you look at the top 5 longest serving managers in the PL if Pulis does go

    Wenger
    Pardew
    Allardyce
    Jol
    Rodgers

    Rodgers?

    What about Moyse?

    Be ironic if they get a manager who plays football the "right way" but then go down.

    I think that is a real possibility. Pulis and Allardyce take a lot of flack for their playing style but they play to their teams strengths and I think that if a new manager comes in and tries to get Stoke playing like Arsenal that it may be trouble.

    Also they will have to get the respect of the players who have worked with Pulis for so many years...

    Pardew is apparently only entitled to a years pay off if he is sacked

    Jol isn't taking Fulham anywhere but towards a struggle at the bottom

    PDC will be fine, he is being allowed to rebuild a crumbling club by the chairman. As a Newcastle fan I am admiring his work so far.

    What's the point of him signing such a long term contract then ?

    lol why would Phil Neville be in the running to coach Stoke?

    Fresh blood , fresh ideas plus loads of contacts in the game .

    I'd love to see the Neville brothers in joint charge .

    There was an ex Everton player on the radio this morning saying that the "word" coming from inside the club , was that they will promote from the ranks.

    Neville plus Stubbs or the other way around maybe ?

    Incredibly despite being there less than a year Rodgers is the 5th longest serving PL manager (6th if we include Cardiff after their promotion).
    Arsène Wenger	Arsenal	                1 October 1996	 16*years, 232*days
    Alan Pardew	Newcastle United	9 December 2010	 2*years, 163*days
    Sam Allardyce	West Ham United	        1 June 2011	 1*year, 354*days
    Martin Jol	Fulham	                7 June 2011	 1*year, 348*days
    Malky Mackay	Cardiff City	        17 June 2011	 1*year, 338*days
    Brendan Rodgers	Liverpool	        1 June 2012	 0*years, 354*days

    So Wenger has more top flight managerial experience with his current club than the rest put together,

    He should have done better for all the money he's spent.

    He hasn't half bought some rubbish.

    07/08: £3,500,000 [-£270,000]
    08/09: £16,250,000 [£16,200,000]
