This is non-Saints, but there's nothing going on anyway. An interesting point is that in two years' time, we will potentially be looking at a very different scenario at the top of the Premiership table, with imo Fergie, Mancini, AVB, and Wenger all likely to be gone. Obviously some of those scenarios will happen sooner than in two years' time, but put that timeframe on it as that is when Fergie looks like going. Who are your guesses for the top job at each of those clubs? Just a bit of fun, and I know things change significantly between now and then, but based on what we know now - who's hot and who's not - I'd go: Man U - Guardiola Man City - Mourinho (they'll want the CL by then, and that's not going to happen with Mancini) Chelsea - Hiddink (their schedules will align at some point, and the pressure of maintaining a top two position will be replaced by a no-pressure, get-us-anywhere-even-if-its-a-UEFA-slot by the time AVB has finished with them!) Arsenal - Moyes/O'Neill
If you are looking at the top of the PL, shouldn't you include Saints (still managed by Sir Nigel Adkins).
Of course Fran, but I refer to the current top 4, regardless of where they are in two years' time (I suspect at least two of them won't be - and not necessarily the two you'd be thinking, based on current form). Saints would be in a pack of teams who'd outgrown the Premiership and gone on to form a European Super League, after mowing through the Premiership on the concurrent promotion run that started in League 1 last season. Fergie would have deferred his retirement to come in as Director of Football with one of the few clubs to have put 6 past one of his teams!
Man U - Giggs - Already championed by Fergie and there is nobody with more PL experience is there!? Man City - Mancini - I think they've backed him, will continue to do so and will learn from Chelski's switcheroo errors Chelsea - Mourinho - It takes a rich man two years to admit he was wrong therefore it will take Abramovich at least 6 but he'll ultimately recall him to his spiritual home Arsenal - Redknapp - After ballsing up the England job he'll make a public statement that he loved Spurs so much that he could never go to Arsenal and sign for them later the same day
