Over the&nbsp;last 24 hours I’ve been reading several interesting and amusing headlines including, the&nbsp;predicted&nbsp;signing of Gianfranco Zola as the next Hammer’s manager, the possible&nbsp;return of Edgar Davids to Serie A,&nbsp; Mourinho’s Fury regarding his cable bill and Marcello Lippi shuffling the deck for World Cup qualifying.
Gianfranco Zola –&nbsp;labelled as, “one of Chelsea’s greatest players ever”, by chairman Bates, looks likely to be&nbsp;in London town&nbsp;by Friday as new manager&nbsp;at West Ham United.&nbsp; His&nbsp;main opposition Slaven Bilic did not wish to leave the Croatian National&nbsp;team until January.&nbsp; With Michael Landrup on his way to Russia that left Zola and&nbsp;Roberto Donadoni as the only&nbsp;managers standing.
(Slaven&nbsp;will be behind the bench tomorrow&nbsp;as England play Croatia so watch out England, after sending the West Ham interest adrift I’m sure Slaven is going to have his side fully charged)

Sounds like Jose Mourinho isn’t happy with the Cable Guy after having a new&nbsp;service installed in his Milan home. The Special&nbsp;One is reported to have&nbsp;blown his top&nbsp;over billing of €18,600, it seems there was a conversion error and&nbsp;Mourinho was adamant about getting a further correction for his inconvenience. Read&nbsp;more at… Mourinho’s TV Fury,&nbsp;&nbsp;HEY Jose&nbsp;get broadband.
In&nbsp;losing Gennaro Gattuso, Fabio Grosso and Alessandro Gamberini to injury&nbsp;after the Azzurri’s last outing, manager Marcello Lippi is definitely feeling a&nbsp;player crisis for the next world cup qualifier Wednesday against Georgia.&nbsp; What I find most upsetting…&nbsp;<a href="http:\/\/www.channel4.com/sport/football_italia/sep7g.html">Lippi, No&nbsp;Replacements called.</a>
