That’s according to our readers anyway. Yes, after nearly a week of voting, you, the readers, have decided that Manchester City boss Mark Hughes will be the next Premier League manager to go. The former Blackburn manager only arrived at Eastlands last July, however things haven’t gone according to plan and he has been under [...]

Have I missed something here?

Following the departure of Luis Filipe Scolari from Stamford Bridge this afternoon, it is believed that Chelsea are now looking for bring Avram Grant back to the club just eight months after sacking him.

The former Israel manager was sacked by Chelsea after narrowly missing out on the Champions League, Premier League and Carling Cup last season and for me, it beggars belief that they even want him back. It is understood that Chelsea have drawn up a list of two possible candidates to replace Scolari with Grant being one of them.

The other on the list is Russia manager Guus Hiddink and although I think Chelsea have a job persuading the Dutchman to move to West London, I feel it would be well worth their time going after him.

I am sure a lot of Chelsea fans would agree with me that re-appointing Grant would a step in the wrong direction. During his time as Chelsea boss, I don’t know about you, but I found his tactics quite negative. Many of his wins were unconvincing to say the least. 1-0 wins at home to the likes of Middlesbrough, Reading and West Ham prove this and I don’t think bringing Grant back to the club would improve them in any way.

What do you think? Should Chelsea bring Grant back to the club or should they look elsewhere? Leave your comments below. Also, feel free to vote in our latest poll (top right of the site). The poll asks : Who will be the next Chelsea manager? Get voting.

That’s according to our readers anyway. After just a couple of days of voting, Football Corner has decided to bring to an end our latest poll. The poll asked you, the reader, who you thought has been the Premier League’s player of the season so far. I would like to say it was close but quite frankly, it wasn’t. Manchester United defender Nemanja Vidic simply ran away with it.

Here is the full result of the poll :

Nemanja Vidic – 176 votes (58%)
Steven Gerrard – 28 votes (9%)
Robin Van Persie – 17 votes (5%)
Edwin Van Der Sar – 17 votes (5%)
Other – 17 votes (5%)
Ashley Young – 16 votes (5%)
Stephen Ireland – 11 votes (3%)
Dimitar Berbatov – 6 votes (1%)
Nicolas Anelka – 5 votes (1%)
Cristiano Ronaldo – 4 votes (1%)

That’s the opinion of our readers anyway. Yes, Football Corner has been running a poll on the site over the past week or so asking you, the reader, where you thought Portsmouth’s Jermian Defoe will be when the January transfer window closes. The poll was so one sided that we took the decision to end it a day early.

Defoe, 26, has been heavily linked with a move away from Fratton Park in recent days and a move to his former club Tottenham looks the most likely destination for the England international. It seems as though the majority of readers would agree with that opinion.

Here is the full result of the poll :

Tottenham – 237 votes (64%)
Portsmouth – 45 votes (12%)
Man City – 43 votes (11%)
Aston Villa – 32 votes (8%)
Other - 12 votes (3%)

Total Votes : 369

Defoe costs just £6.5 million in this season’s “You the Manager” and is definitely worth a look. Follow the link below to sign him for your team.

That’s the opinion of our readers anyway. Football Corner ran a poll over the last week or so and asked you, the reader, where you thought Zenit St Petersburg playmaker Andrei Arshavin would be when the transfer window closes and nearly half the voters chose Arsenal.

Arsenal – 142 votes (42%)
Tottenham - 71 votes (22%)

Man United – 22 votes (7%)
Other – 15 votes (4%)

That’s the opinion of our readers anyway. Over the last ten days or so, Football Corner has asked you, the reader, where you thought Wigan striker Emile Heskey would be when the transfer window closes and amazingly the result was a draw. Yes the same amount of voters picked Wigan as well as Liverpool, so the whereabouts of Heskey when the transfer window closes is still undecided.

That’s according to our readers anyway. Football Corner has been running a poll for the last week or so, asking you, the reader, who you thought would be top of the Premier League on Christmas day.

Fernando Torres has eased to victory in Football Corner’s latest poll. The poll asked, who do you think will be the Premier League’s top scorer this season, and Torres to be fair won by a distance. The Liverpool striker already has five goals to his name and is only three goals off Amr Zaki at the top of the charts, but you, the readers clearly feel he will easily make the gap up with ease.

Here is the full result of the poll :

Fernando Torres – 56 votes (42%)
Cristiano Ronaldo – 29 votes (21%)
E.Adebayor – 14 votes (10%)
Other – 14 votes (10%)
Robinho – 12 votes (9%)
Amr Zaki – 9 votes (7%)
Didier Drogba – 2 votes (1%)

Total votes : 136

I wasn’t too surprised to see such an outcome. Torres, although he has been injured of late, he has looked awesome this season and I wouldn’t be one bit surprised to see him claim the Premier League Golden Boot. The big surprise for me was the lack of votes for Wigan’s Amr Zaki who is currently flying in the charts.

I would urge you all the vote in our latest poll (located at the top right of the site)
