Managers such as Rafael Benítez are enjoying the benefit of greater patience In one of his less optimistic moments Kevin Keegan once compared football management to a lethal game of chance. "It's like Russian roulette," said the former England manager. "You always have a gun at your head – the only question is whether there is a bullet in the barrel." Managerial sackings...

Following Kevin Keegan's victory in his constructive dismissal claim against the Toon, it was only a matter of time before Alan Curbishley got his day in front of the Premier League manager's arbitration panel. That came today and this afternoon his claim was duly upheld and he should learn tomorrow how much compensation West Ham will have to pay him. This will hurt West Ham at a time they can ill-afford...
