    "With all this speculation over Pep Guardiola I feel sorry for Manuel Pellegrini.

    "Man City are still in contention for the Premier League, the Champions League and they've progressed better than ever this season.

    "But his time could well be up now."

    Do we see Pep in sky blue next summer?

    Could a riverside vista and an easy commute sway Jose to take the Fulham job?

    With Pep Guardiola and Jose Mourinho now on the lookout for new jobs, there will surely be no shortage of clubs interested in hiring them.

    Let's imagine you are the chairman of your team - no matter what level. What could you offer Pep or Jose?

    Forget money for once. I want to hear history, location, a chance to work with x, a special emotional link, a new project or philosophy...

    Could the chance of a pint of every corner of the ground mean that it's Brentford next for Pep?

    Sell your club to Pep or Jose via the medium of social media!

    You can tweet your pitches to #bbcfootball, external - some pictures may swing the balance your way - or text us on 81111 (UK Only and with your names please!)

    Thanking you.

    Or maybe the pull of the English riviera and the long-term challenge of establishing Torquay United as a big hitter means they are in pole position?

  5. 'Watford's position is not a surprise'published at 12:14 Greenwich Mean Time 20 December 2015

    Watford v Liverpool (13:30 GMT)

    Jurgen Klopp on Watford's current position of seventh in the Premier League:

    "I don't think it's a big surprise, it's how football is.

    "If you have a good team, of course you need good players, but if these players together are a really good team, if you have a good plan like they have and if you play football like they do, then it's not easy but it's possible to be more successful than everybody expects.

    "And if the expectations are not too high, then it's easier to go over them.

    "But we go there not to clap our hands because of their season because we want to fight for the points."

    It's getting to the point now where I'm not even sure who Barcelona's best attacker is...

    Where next?

    Time for Louis van Gaal and Manuel Pellegrini to shift uneasily in their seats.

    It has been confirmed this morningthat Pep Guardiola will leave Bayern Munich at the end of the season, to be replaced by Carlo Ancelotti. A decent sub if you ask me!

    But where will Pep head next?

  12. Today's actionpublished at 12:05

    After 22 goals, more brilliance from the Foxes, more wasteful stuff from Manchester United and another win for Bournemouth yesterday, there are just the two Premier League matches to focus on this afternoon.

    There should be plenty of drama though:

    Watford v Liverpool (13:30 GMT)

    Swansea v West Ham (16:00 GMT)

    Nope, you are not dreaming.

    Leicester City are top of the Premier League at Christmas. And they are currently five points clear!

    Chelsea have sacked Jose Mourinho and are just above the relegation zone, Liverpool have appointed Jurgen Klopp and Cameron Jerome is scoring goals at Old Trafford.

    As Premier League seasons go, this has been a vintage half year for stories.

    And, on the last Sunday before Christmas, we have the chance to serve up some more.

    Watford to beat Liverpool? Marcelo Bielsa in at Swansea? Jose to Manchester United?
