Football Filtered # 18

Hello and welcome to the latest look at what as been passing through the Football Filter this week.

The managerial merry-go-round looks set to get a kick-start as twitchy chairman hover their fingers over the trigger. One of those managers under pressure is Hull’s Phil Brown. But after his heroic Premier League survival last year is Brown the victim of raised expectations? JUST FOOTBALL takes a closer look.

The haves and the have nots have been highlighted this week. First off Arsenal announced pre-tax profits of £45.5m, with match-day revenue exceeding £100m for the first time.

The figures have been digested and assessed over at Soccerlens.
Liverpool could also be in the money with rumours of a Saudi Prince wanting to invest in the club, THE INDEPENDENT has all the details.

And the have nots? Well WHEN SATURDAY COMES reports that the end is nigh for Hyde United as the Cheshire club were wound up following unpaid debts of £122,000. John  Terry earns that in about 4 days…..

Lists, lists and more lists were the order of the week in many of the papers. THE TIMES gave us the 50 people who fouled up football. Yes, Ashley Cole is in there.

THE MIRROR meanwhile, brought us the top ten scary managers.

With Didier Drogba netting his 100th goal for Chelsea last weekend THE MIRROR also reminds us of the best of the Ivory Coast International’s Chelsea career over the past four years.
And finally…
