Mark Hughes famously walked out on Fulham in 2011, claiming the Cottagers didn’t match his ambition. Six months later he wound up at QPR, a recently promoted club struggling to retain their Premier League status. Ironically, Stoke City, a club Tony Pulis struggled in vain to get into the top half of the table, could be a perfect fit for Hughes.
Whichever way you look at it you can't deny that the final day of the Premier League was somewhat of a damp squib particularly in terms of the relegation battle, afterall we didn't even get that wonderful last day episode of Match of the Day that takes us through the 90 minutes in a story like manner from around all the relevant grounds. With that in mind we remember six of the most thrilling final day relegation battles:-
The whole of Liverpool are celebrating now as they read that Stuart Downing may be on the way out of the club. However, cheers turn to hands over faces as they realise it could only be on a loan deal. It's better than nothing, eh Reds?
West Bromwich Albion are interested in bringing Wolves player of the year Bakary Sako across the Black Country to The Hawthorns.
The Premier League relegation battle might be done and dusted but there will be a few clubs more than a little bit concerned over whether they might just find themselves amongst the battlers next year, despite having spent the large proportion of this season in the realms of relatively assured safety.
Watford take on Crystal Palace at Wembley this month with the winner taking their place in the Premier League next season. The pressure is on both London sides to win the big money game, but there is another capital club lurking in the shadows should the Hornets lose out on promotion.
Martin Jol is targeting as many as six summer signings for Fulham in the summer as the London club have had a disappointing end to the season.
Arsenal fans will be crossing their fingers that the latest bit of gossip turns out to be a load of nonsense. The story I refer to, which is being reported in The Metro, is that Galatasaray are on the cusp on making a move for Lukas Podolski.
Not a lot was known about Urby Emanuelson when he joined Fulham in January. The Dutch winger arrived at Craven Cottage in January to little fanfare, and to many just appeared yet another long-named foreigner destined to make little impact at the West London club.
After three years in the Premier League, playing in midfield, defence and sometimes what looks like a free-role, it appears David Luiz's Brazilian-isms are finally shining through.
Sometimes a club must uproot themselves and start again elsewhere – whether that be because 25,000 seats just isn’t enough to sustain the club anymore, or because bits of the main stand are falling and crushing passing linesmen. Whatever the reason, such a change can often affect a club’s form in the short-term.
Sweat begins to drip from your brow, nerves are almost overcoming you, your legs start to get heavy....it can mean only one thing: time for A slice of Motd!
