Former Argentina coach Diego Maradona says he will fly into England next month for talks with a Premier League club - thought to be Fulham - with a view to becoming their new manager.
Maradona has been out of work since leaving his post with Argentina in July, less than a month after guiding them to the World Cup quarter-finals.
Many felt that the South Americans, who had World Player of the Year Lionel Messi spearheading one of the most talented squads at the finals, severely underachieved in South Africa - with the blame generally pointed at Maradona's tactical naivety.
His last game in charge was a 4-0 drubbing by Germany in the last eight, but the Argentina legend, who broke English hearts with his 'Hand of God' goal in the 1986 World Cup, has expressed his desire to try his hand at managing a Premier League side.
"In February I will be travelling to England to listening to a formal proposal from a team from there who wants to talk to me," Maradona said during a trip to Uruguay to visit his daughter.
"If they convince me I might accept the position. I'm not desperate (but) I know that some day I'll be the coach again of some team."
Reports in Argentina suggest that the club in question is Fulham, who Maradona visited as a guest of owner Mohamed Al-Fayed in November.
The speculation will not sit well with current Cottagers boss Mark Hughes, who has been under increasing pressure of late having struggled to stamp his mark on the side since taking over from Roy Hodgson last summer.
Maradona's coaching experience is certainly limited; his spell with the Argentina national team was his first job since ill-fated tenures at Mandiyu de Corrientes and Racing Club came to an end in the mid-90s.
But despite this, he was heavily linked with the Blackburn Rovers job after Sam Allardyce's sacking last month, and also recently expressed his displeasure at not being given the opportunity to take the reins at former club Boca Juniors.

Not a player, but seems to be substance to the rumours that Steve Clarke is going to appointed Liverpool assistant manager. Which is an exceptionally interesting appointment.

Quality appointment if you ask me. However may I ask why it is 'exceptionally interesting'?
 
Birmingham have given permission to Newcastle United for them to speak with winger Sebastian Larsson.
 
lol, at least your video has something in it to get better team spirit. Other than that i think he will never be a good coach. So i hope for Fulham they get someone better for the job. Oh, leave **** Jol out of the UK as well, he has no job now and is being linked with English sides as well. He brings his whole staff, signs (useless) players for 40 million and gets fired in a year. Not sure if he's on the Fulham short-list
 
Transfer Market looks like it kicking into action.

Seb Larsson is in talks with Newcastle over 1.5m move.
David Bentley is close to finalizing a loan to Birmingham.
River's Pablo Mouche wants to move to England, West ham and Blackburn are expected to bid.
St. Etienne are mulling over a move for Arsenal's Gilles Sunu.
Nancy have said it will take a bid of at least 6m to prise Youssouf Hadji from them(ex Coventry and Villa)
Newcastle, Birmingham and Villa have had bids rejected for Charlie Adam.
Sulley Muntari has rejected a move to Sunderland.
Lorient's Kevin Gameiro is being eyed by Newcastle, Valencia and Espanyol.
Swansea are interested in signing Tom Soares from Stoke.
Wayne Bridge will choose between West Ham or Aston Villa in the next 48 hours.
West Brom are hoping to get John Carew by the end of the month.
 
Newcastle look dead certs to get Larsson. Good signing for £1m-£1.5m. Got to better than Routledge.

Also in for a fench striker who plays for Stade Malhaern (sp)
 
just seen reported on ssn, Tottenham are reportly in "advanced" talks with Everton over defender Phil Neville.

Seriously? Spurs becoming the Manchester United Vets team off the league?

Have an awful feeling we're going to be losing some key players in this window. If he does chose to leave, he's been a great servant to the club, and I for one will wish him all the best. I wouln't harbor him any grudges. He's gettin to the end of his career, and wouldn't begrudge him one last shot in Europe. Still be gutted to lose him though :(

Not sure if serious... either way, **** the economy, Villa's more important.

I don't think there's much link between Villa's performance and the Economy xD Unless, people unexpectedly stop buying things out of protest of Villa's success, those Birmingham fans must stop at nothing to stop you winning. XD

Villa improve their bid for Adam: http://www.skysports.com/story/0,19528,11095_6651097,00.html

What happened to Fofana?
