DISQUS

You should have heard of Daniel Sturridge. He has been touted as one of the top youngsters in British football for some time, and was prolific at Academy level for City (in fact, he got a hat-trick in a reserve match midweek). His progress has been hampered by a few injuries, a little like James Vaughan, but the two will both be England internationals without a doubt.

In terms of "paper" newspapers, I think that The Times' "The Game" supplement is absolutely top drawer.

Also, makes you pity Paul Jewell at Derby. He could've been a good shout.

I actually think there are a few decent candidates for the Newcastle job, if they want to go British. The problem is, they'd all be risky. The first is in this list - Steve Coppell. But I don't think it's too likely. Then there's Paul Ince, who I think could do an excellent job (if instant success was not demanded). What about Aidy Boothroyd? Also, Neil Warnock won't happen but he is doing a fantastic job at Palace.

However, to be honest I expect a foreign appointment, since none of these candidates are "high-profile" enough. David Ginola for manager? :-)
