Wolves have confirmed they have sacked manager Mick McCarthy. A 5-1 drubbing at the hands of Black Country rivals West Brom proved to be the final nail in the under-fire boss' coffin. A statement on the Wolves website read: "Wolves have today announced that manager, Mick McCarthy, has left the Club with immediate effect.

1. Luis Suarez was a bit of a muppet. Hopefully we can now safely conclude that without the ridiculous defence arguments that have been put forward by some Liverpool fans in recent weeks since he has now apologised for his actions. 2. Suarez wasn't the only one making a poor decision to pull his hand [.

Rumours of Jose Mourinho wanting to leave Real Madrid for the Premiership would mean only one thing: he is heading for Manchester. Since his famous Champions League win with Porto in 2004, Mourinho has had no desire to manage any side lacking truly world-class pedigree. For this very reason, a return to a depleted Chelsea side is not on the cards.

Tottenham Hotspur 5-0 Newcastle United Premier League 11th February 2012

Harry Redknapp's charges gave their boss the perfect homecoming present, as they presented their exhonerated manager with a superb 5-0 win against Newcastle.

It seems like it's almost a given that Harry Redknapp is on his way out of Tottenham – whether it be immediately or the end of the season – but what really is there for him in the England job?

Looking at the history of the job it's notorious for tainting the careers of what were otherwise top managers.

The hysteria surrounding the England job is quite simply laughable, mainly because in my view, whoever you put in charge of the national team, the current set up and set of players does not stand a prayer of even getting close to winning a tournament in the near future.
Anyway, rather unsurprisingly, following the jury's decision to find Redknapp guilty of tax evasion, combined with the sudden resignation of Don Fabio, the Droopy looking one has found himself firmly at the front of the queue for the England job perhaps sooner than expected.

It's still pretty much impossible to find any actual news other than the Redknapp for England links but it is worth just looking at some of the manager's quotes since he was first questioned on the subject.

"Of course it is nice that people put me in a position where they think I've got a chance of getting the job.

After spending yesterday not thinking about the England job, Harry Redknapp has now given it some thought and decided that he is "flattered". Meanwhile, the rest of English football's great and not-so-great have been falling over themselves to declare that they have no interest in the vacancy. 1. Arsene Wenger "I have never really been [.

"Oi Xavi, stop poncing about, go long... hit the channels, you f*****g girl's blouse"

Never one to hide his light under a bushel, West Ham boss Sam Allardyce has eased Hammers fans fears by reiterating that, despite being linked to the England job (a tiny bit), he is still fully focused on his job at Upton Park.

Redknapp's version of Usain Bolt's iconic celebration was lacking in many areas.In the aftermath of the chaos that was February 9th 2012, no-one could discuss the position of Tottenham manager with any certainty. Harry Redknapp, the current incumbent, began the day with the verdict of a court case for tax evasion hanging over his head yet, come the day's completion, his immediate and medium term future was the most speculated upon in all the land.

Despite Aston Villa's best efforts, it appears Robbie Keane will head back to the Los Angeles Galaxy later this month -- just as scheduled.

The Villans had hoped to tack another week onto Keane's loan after the Ireland international bagged three goals in his first four EPL appearances for the mid-table club.

The public are comfortable with Harry Redknapp. His rumpled, down-to-earth persona harks back to a bygone era before football became a commercial monster, evoking soft fuzzy Sunday evening television images of a time when society was less complicated and life was better. With Harry, like him or not, you know where you are.

Alan Pardew has quickly said he is not in the running for the vacant England manager job. Alan Pardew not in the running for England job Fabio Capello resigned at the worst possible time for England, and the FA will now need to appoint somebody to take over the reigns. Fabio and the FA clashed over the firing of John [.

After sensationally being cleared of tax evasion charges and the subsequent dismissal of Fabio Capello as England coach by the FA all in one day, Tottenham coach Harry Redknapp is now being considered as the prime choice to replace the Italian. In fact, Tottenham are said to be bracing themselves for an approach by the FA.

I wrote yesterday that Fabio Capello And FA were set for a fireworks meeting today with neither site apparently ready to concede ground over John Terry.

Well after meeting today, it became apparent that the two sides could no longer work together and the FA has announced that Fabio Capello has stepped down as England manager.

By Alan Duffy

At 11.30 am today, Twitter almost burst at the seams with journos declaring that Spurs boss Harry Redknapp, along with his former Pompey boss Milan Mandaric, had been found not guilty on two charges of tax evasion.

Interestingly, at the same time, England boss Fabio Capello was heading to The FA for a showdown meeting following his remarks to the Italian media that, in the eyes of the Italian, John Terry was still his captain.

Alan Pardew has done a great job in the short 13 months he's been at Newcastle. Alan Pardew doing great at Newcastle And with Fabio Capello on the way out of the England job after the Euro 2012 tournament, and not soon enough for some, there will be a new England manager appointed, and most want to see [.

So ‘Arry reckons he might get a bit bored managing England:

‘I enjoy the day-to-day coming in to work with players, said the media-introvert on Radio 4 this week- going out on the training pitch every day, seeing the players.

What are the odds Spurs finish the season as London's top team? Derek McGovern's Bets of the Day

Spurs have been touted as serious title contenders, but only by those who go to bed wearing Tottenham pyjamas wrapped in a Tottenham duvet. You get the impression Harry Redknapp's aim this season is to finish in the top four and then leave to pursue the England job he looks nailed-on for.

Why Daniel Levy needs to accept he's likely to lose Harry Redknapp to England

Daniel Levy's assertion that Harry Redknapp isn't interested in the England job is wishful (and deluded) thinking. You don't have to listen to the words Harry comes out with whenever he's asked if he'd like to manage his country, you just see the patriotic tear forming in his eyes as he dreams mistily of this headline on the morning of the 2014 World Cup Final: "Cry God for Harry, England and St Wayne.

The ‘Redknapp for England' shouts have quietened down a little in recent weeks and undoubtedly the manager's impending court case and his minor heart surgery have had their parts to play in that. In addition, there have been suggestions that Fabio Capello could even stay on at Lancaster Gate after next summer.

What are the odds Tottenham finish in the top four? Derek McGovern's Bets of the Day

Three successive Stoke victories have finally forced pundits to accept that Tony Pulis has a realistic chance of getting the England job. Surely he can't do any worse than predecessor Martin Johnson.

Alan Pardew has recently been linked with the England job once Fabio Capello leaves the position after next summer's Euro 2012 Championships. Alan Pardew not interested in becoming England manager After foreign managers like Fabio and Sven Eriksson, there is a strong feeling that the next England manager should be English.

"I think," he says, "that the 25,000 people watching—even the Liverpool supporters—will probably agree with me that it looked like a very, very harsh decision and there was certainly no intention to foul the player or give away a penalty."

"First off," I say, "no, they won't. Second, since when is sticking your ass into a player and grabbing his shoulder as he tries to get around said ass within the rules of the game?

Just under two months after shocking the soccer world and signing for Russian side Anzhi Makhachkala, Samuel Eto'o is being linked with a return to Inter Milan — on loan.

Eto'o left the Italian giants in late August, but when the Russian Premier League season takes a break in January and February, meaning Eto'o could potentially return to Inter for a Serie A as well as Champions League fixtures.

Harry Redknapp's been involved in football long enough to know that great opportunities are hard to come by. It's taken him many years to reach the level he has, so should he risk throwing it all away?

A look at previous England managers such as Eriksson, Keegan, Hoddle and McClaren proves that it's hard or even impossible to recover your reputation.

What are the odds on Big Sam being the next England manager? Derek McGovern's Bets of the Day

Sam Allardyce has all the credentials to be the next England manager, according to Sam Allardyce. Big Sam has always been on the fringes of the England job. A man his size is generally on the fringe of most things, typically food.

The general consensus in football is that change doesn't guarantee success, just ask Charlton fans who thought that the ‘grass would be greener' without Alan Curbishley, or ask Roman Abramovich who also appears to be no closer to world domination since the sacking of Jose Mourinho.

There are exceptions to the rule though, and there's no better example than our rivals Arsenal.
