This summer three Premier League manager's jobs have been up for grabs with one man instantly putting himself up for them all.

Liverpool: "I've been a fan all my life," he said. "Would I want to be the manager of Liverpool? It is every manager's dream."

Fulham: "They are are a very attractive club for him" said his agent. "But there has been no contact yet."

Aston Villa: "Of course, he would be interested in managing Aston Villa," close sources said. "He has always said that he would like to go back into the Premier League. It is a big target for him."

If you're the type of man who ends up going home from night-clubs clutching a kebab not a bird, who wondered how a geek like Sven Goran Eriksson managed to pull all those hot chicks, here's your answer.

Put yourself out on the dance-floor, get in their faces, tell them you've admired them from afar and you are meant for each other, and never let a knock-back put you off having another bash.

I just hope you have more luck than Sven's having this summer.

As Austerity Britain grits its teeth for savage cuts it's good to hear a Premier League manager enter the economic debate.

This was Sam Allardyce's plea via radio after failing to woo a foreign striker to Blackburn: "If David Cameron is listening, drop the 50% tax bracket will you? Then we can get the best players in the world to play in the best league in the world."

Avanti Grande Sam! Man Of The Pueblo! I'm not sure what's the biggest joke here. Red Fergie's biggest comrade wanting to line the pockets of the rich.

Or Allardyce not realising that even if the income tax rate was 0% the chances of him signing the world's best players are the same as his chances of getting a job at a big club. Nil.

I was staring at a pair of tickets for tomorrow's televised visit of Arsenal to Anfield with one of the stars of the Liverpool team who had the same opening fixture in 1964. The first English league game ever to be shown on TV.

A few weeks earlier the players had just got a big pay rise after winning the First Division title.

It put every member of the new English champions on £40-a-week. Sunday's ticket costs £45. Discuss.
