    ironic that both Arsenal and (especially) Everton have perked up under their respective stop gap managers .. is there a lesson there when all the potential 'new managers' mentioned as possible 'saviours' seem to be tired old foreigners who must be dizzy from forever circling around from club to club

    I would absolutely love Arsenal to appoint Sousa and have Campbell as his assistant and future manager. Let them fall and struggle in the Championship, drop down to League One and struggle further. Horrible club, some horrible fans. Let them suffer for longer.

    I would imagine Ancelotti will end up at Arsenal.  As for Everton I have no idea really.  It looks like Moyes will go back there.  I'm surprised Duncan Ferguson doesnt seem to be being considered.  I know it was only 1 game,  but the way they fought & battled for every ball was impressive.  Give him the job until the end of the season and go from there

    Most interims seems to get "new manager bounce" when a fresh voice gets players to work harder for a few weeks, but it quickly subsides.

    Even Karel Fraeye won a couple of games when he first took over...

    Arsenal have still been awful under Ljungberg, it's just that West Ham were even worse the other night. 

    Everton looked much improved.

    Agree, Arsenal perked up for 8 minutes the other night to score three goals but were very ordinary the rest of the match.

    I hadn't realised that Francis Jeffers was back at Everton as an academy coach! I guess it's case of learning from his mistakes...

    If Jeffers is the coach for their strikers one would suggest that this will be a case of "do as I say and not as I did" given a CV containing less than 50 goals in a career spanning 16 years is not one to be waved in front of an academy forward!

    Jeffers made his England debut on the same night as Rooney, and Jeffers scored.

    Their careers took slightly different paths after that though!

    Arteta moves from a job as Peppy Pip's yes man to bring a whole new era of success to Arsenal .. I really don't think so .. number 2s promoted to no1s (no lavatorial jokes por favor) rarely succeed (YES I appreciate Bowyer was promoted from assistant to main man with immediate success)

    Sky sports reporting that Carlo Ancelotti has agreed a deal to become Everton manager. Gotta say, I'm really surprised by that

    Still stunned. 
    Not the right fit for Arsenal but certainly worthy of a better opportunity than Everton.

    Don't get why anyone proven would want to go there. For as long as I can remember they've been a club that thinks and talks like they should be challenging for trophies but best looks like it on the pitch. There doesn't seem to be any long term planning, they just occasionally chuck a load of cash at it and then get annoyed when it goes wrong.

    If I was Ancelotti, I'd be wondering why decent managers like Martinez, Koeman and Silva keep failing there. 

    Still mystified as to what happened with Lookman. Why buy a hot prospect and then not give him the chance to develop? Highly rated by supporters as well, some of them were calling him their best player. They now seem to be doing something with the Kean lad that got subbed off yesterday. 

    Suspect they'll be good for the rest of the season under Ancelotti, they've got their Everton back, etc. He'll be on course for the sack by this time next year though.Weird club.

    Wonder how Lookman would have done had Everton signed a Frank Lampard type there with a transfer ban

    Mansfield really must have money behind them!!

    Graham Coughlan is leaving Bristol Rovers (4th in League One) to become the next Mansfield Manager (18th in League Two)

    Know they were desperate to win promotion last year but maybe shouldnt have hastened to get rid of Flitcroft

    Apparently has a house up north where he wanted to move closer to plus he also fell out with the Rovers board over transfer money for January.

    the real owner, John Radford, is seriously minted, the ostensible owner, Radford's missus Carolyn must be desperate for the team to get promotion, sooooo,  ol John has brought in yet another 'talent' as manager to try for success after years of near misses. The team is full of talented players who are underperforming, let's see if Coughlan can get them cracking (once again I backed them for promotion this year, when will I learn ?!!)

    Still a weird one though, dropping down a division and to a L2 side nearer relegation than the playoffs!

    Bristol Rovers have appointed Ben Garner as their new manager.

    The 39-year-old former West Bromwich Albion and Crystal Palace first-team coach has signed a two-and-half-year contract at Rovers, who are fourth in League One.

    His name was mentioned on Quest on Saturday. IF Rovers don't sell anyone in January, then he's inherited a decent team

    suspect  it'll turnout that Arsenal should have kept faith with Freddie L and Everton should have stuck (the Toffees, get it ?) with Duncan Disorderly .. we will see
