As part of Sky's attempts to convince everyone that there is no such thing as life without Premiership and Champions' League football, Ancelotti dropping his load at Stamford Bridge for the next 3 seasons on Monday must be a dream come true. Tuesday follows with the news that Gareth Barry has signed for Manchester City for £18m - presumably because City qualified for some alternative universe Champion's League tournament next season and nothing, I repeat nothing, to do with money.
There is also an scramble to be the next Wigan manager as Steve Bruce heads off to 'sleeping giant' Sunderland, and no shortage of people trying to poach 12-year old managerial rookie superstar Darren Ferguson from 'sleeping giant' Peterboro to be their next manager. Well Reading anyway.
Saving the best til last is news that will delight all fans of Rangers as Tony Adams is looking to be Celtic's next manager. Shooty-in as they say north of the Border. Better still, it could be one of those uncomfortable 'step-uncle' arrangements involving former Celt manager and wild-haired Wim Jansen as a Director of Football. Tony is Wim's choice as manager in the event that the Celtic board are mad enough to pursue the idea. John Barnes anyone?
Back at Goodison Towers all is quiet as we collectively try to work out what happens next after Saturday's day in the sun. I'm assuming Bill is out there again with his begging bowl trying to whip up some funds to enable Robert Elstone to deliver on his promise to do our transfer business earlier than a day before the transfer window shuts on us in September. Whatever David Moyes ends up with needs directing at the right-side of our team, full-back and midfield. My personal choice is Glen Johnson and Joe Ledley. I think one of them is practical and the other is a pipe dream. I leave you to work out which.
Oh, and the new kit? Without V-bib, a great looking top. Sadly somebody voted with V-bib. It looks at best odd, at worst, downright stupid.
