There is a lot happening right now. Liverpool, Villa, West Brom are all without managers but the underlying point is that the plates are shifting.
Liverpool and for that matter Villa are clubs on the slide. Leeds have long gone from the memory as top dogs, the Sheffield clubs are hopping between the Championship and Division 1 and other clubs like Arsenal are not really as competitve with the very top as they were say 5 seasons ago and missing out on the Champion's League altogether is not a far cry.
All of this gives the rising clubs a chance - NCFC of course, Newcastle and Swansea and it is very refreshing. Next year there is a real possibility that Villa could be relegated and I think it is vital that the rising clubs hold on to their respective managers to maintain that continuity. It is looking more promising now that PL could well be staying and it would be great if we could just break into the next tier. Interesting times.
