English clubs are a joke.
United, Liverpool and Arsenal seem to be doing alright!
TBH all three of those have had some shite going on in recent years, mostly revolving around the ownership rather than manager though.

Hiddink has said only til the end of the season as Russia Manager and Chelsea Manager... thats on BBC/SSN nwebsites
As for Wenger, he and fergie would never be sacked... leave of his own desire or get moved upstairs perhaps but never get fired. Ever.

Liverpool - owned by a pair of muppets who seem to have no idea and a severe dislike for each other
Man Utd - will go bankrupt the second they didnt qualify for the CL
Arsenal - everyone keeps tryign to unsettle our board and buy us and finance issues cos of new stadium and credit crunch affecting Highbury
Chelsea - BUMDERS

Fergie yes. Wenger...it may not be called fired but thats what it would be, and he is fast approaching the stage where the fans are going to be calling for a change.

CHELSEA GIVEN OKAY FOR HIDDINK TALKS
Posted on: Tue 10 Feb 2009
Chelsea Football Club can confirm we have officially approached the Russian Football Union (RFU) for permission to speak to Guus Hiddink to become the club's temporary coach until the end of the season while continuing to be in charge of the Russian national team.
That permission has been granted and Chelsea would like to thank the RFU for their co-operation.
We can also confirm that initial talks have been held with the owners of West Ham United over the return of Gianfranco Zola and Steve Clarke to Stamford Bridge. Whilst initial talks have been very positive we do not yet have permission to begin talks. Further updates will be given throughout the day.

You'd certainly stuggle, but the fact you can (and often do) roll over the £80m+ debt repayments onto the hedge fund part of your loans means you could survive it for a season or so.
Not that you'll not get into the CL anyway given how shite Arsenal are so they'll be the ones who drop out the top 4.

I think Arsenal need to be the ones worrying about not making the CL and struggling to survive
Yes i agree the loss of income the CL brings would effect us but to suggest we'd go bankrupt or tumble down the league is wide of the mark given the size of the club etc

Arsenal are trying to make out they'll be fine without CL money, but the fact that they cant sell any of the development at Highbury for shit means they are dependant on that money.
Their biggest blow would be the likes of Fabregas, Van P, Adebayor and Walcott all wanting to move on to big clubs.

We would be fine moneywise as they budget for UEFA Cup every season, liek Liverpool IIRC, so the CL money is a bonus... as for whether the big guns woudl all want to leave... who knows, Adebayor should have been sold sooner
As for the flats, they releasd summat the other day suggesting all is OK but lots of people are still not due to move in for some time yet and so could baulk

Wenger would never be fired. I think there will be a lot of fans calling for change this summer though, be it manager or transfer policy!

The largest part of their loan is through hedge funds that dont dont expire until 2016, it allows them to roll all the repayments over year on year (as they have done so far) so can easily afford not to be in the CL.

Yeah I know you budget for not being in like us, but you budgeted for the sale of the development no doubt, and you no longer have this!
