FootballCynic regrets to inform readers that FootballCynic HQ has been closed for the Christmas break. Frankly, FootballCynic is angry. The staff at FootballCynic HQ are paid well and all received nice hampers for Christmas. Unfortunately, without telling anyone they set off to Dublin for 2 weeks on what can only be described as a binge. This obviously has disappointed a lot of avid readers. My old friend, Harry, told me to chill out an not let it affect me, but FootballCynic has been let down by his talented research team. The best they could do before they went on their trip was this article - Predictions for 2010....

1. Megson will be sacked as Bolton manager in January
2. Man City will spend a load of money in January
3. Mourinho won't be coming back to England in 2010

This is, of course, sloppy work and a new team will be in place soon. Happy New Year!
