2012-05-16 16:40:00

Cup and reached the FA Cup final was not enough for the owners after big spending returned a meagre 8th place in the league.

Premier League's up and coming managers the two likely options.

Hodgson Names England Euro Squad
2012-05-16 12:45:00

Roy Hodgson today named his 23 man squad to take to Euro 2012 with some surprise inclusions and exclusions. John Ruddy and
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain are the two uncapped players whilst experienced internationals, most notably Rio Ferdinand, miss out.
In a season which could cost Kenny Dalglish his job it is perhaps surprising that four Liverpool men have made it onto the
list as well as Jordan Henderson being on standby. Talk of an international comeback from born again Paul Scholes was quashed
with the United veteran not included, teammate Michael Carrick has also been omitted.
