According to various media outlets, including Spanish rag Marca.com, PSV’s Ronald Koeman is our new head coach.
Hmm … what do I have to say about this? I’m not sure.
After all the speculation about a superstar manager like Marcelo Lippi and Jose Mourinho, it’s a bit of a dissapointment to see Koeman take the job. [...]

And so it ends.
The 3-0 defeat at the hands of coachless Sevilla was the final nail in the coffin for oft-embattled Valencia gaffer Quique (QQ) Sanchez Flores, who was sacked after the game.
The Flores era ends on a sour note. But as I’ve said before, we all saw this coming.
He was a good [...]
Dreams Can Come True … Mourinho to Valencia?

Can it happen?
Can Jose Mourinho, the Special One, call the Mestalla home?
Can President Juan Soler fire Sir QQ Sanchez Flores, the Sir Alex Ferguson of the Levante region minus the titles and success?
Can it be?
According to Catalan paper Sport, Valencia have held negotiations with José Mourinho about him becoming their new coach for [...]
The Day After

I awoke this morning to see news that a coach from yesterday’s Rosenborg-Valencia game was sacked.
Joy of joys, I thought! QQ’s gone! It’s come true! Finally!
Unfortunately, my joy was quickly reduced to tears when I saw that Knut Toerum was released from his contract as Rosenborg Trondheim’s coach, the day after the Norwegian [...]

This is just a small post in light of the events in Norway today, which I ‘gleefully’ read on my computer at work.
2-0 to Rosenborg. ROSENBORG! And our chances of qualifying for the knockout stages look iffy at best.

I went to the local pub this weekend with every intention of meeting my friends for the Rugby World Cup final (mind you, I know nothing about rugby).
But I got stuck there when I noticed that Spain’s cable dispute caused Barcelona’s shellacking at the hands of Villarreal to be blacked out in favor of [...]

That was quite the long period of time between posts, eh?
No need to worry. I’m still alive and kickin’, ready to annoy people with my depressing posts about my favorite club from the Levante region of Spain.
There’s been a lot of news about our boys in the time I’ve been away.
Probably the biggest nugget [...]

I have lots of different blog posts in mind, this being a quiet weekend what with the Euro 2008 qualifiers taking place.
I could comment on Real Madrid’s interest in David Villa. But why even bother?

The wonderful La Liga scribe Phil Ball has an entire article devoted to Valencia on the Soccernet.com page today … here’s a small excerpt.
Spain quakes as it realises that seven of Valencia’s players are in Luis Aragonés’ squad to play the crucial qualifier in Denmark next weekend, although with David Villa limping off in [...]

I didn’t watch the game against Espanyol yesterday (surprise, huh?).
Domestic duties in upstate New York kept me from meeting up with reader Daniel at our local football pub.
But I’m kind of happy I didn’t see this latest debacle at the Mestalla.
