After his recent sacking from Lillestrom, Uwe Rosler hasn't spent too long on the managerial scrapheap as just nine days later he has been confirmed as the new manager of Viking FK, rivals of Lillestrom in Norway's top division.
In a strange twist, Rosler has replaced Tom Nordlie - who was caretaker manager at Viking before taking the helm at Lillestrom.
After stating yesterday that Uwe Rosler could have an influence in helping Robert Koren join the club in January, it was announced yesterday that Rosler had been sacked as coach of the club, just one day after the completion of the Norwegian season in which Lillestrom finished fourth in the table.
There have been a couple of stories floating around over the weekend suggesting a couple of arrivals into the club in January.
Robert Koren of Lillstrom could be one player coming in, with it reported he and his advisors will head to Manchester this week, with former City player Uwe Rosler (now Lillestrom coach) apparantly a key player in the deal.
The Sunday Mirror meanwhile, suggests we are ahead of Blackburn in signing Zamalek striker Amr Azki, whilst another striker - Anthony Stokes of Arsenal has been linked with ourselves, Middlesbrough and Everton. Stokes, just eighteen is currently on loan at Falkirk in the SPL.
Tribalfootball suggests we will make a(nother) move for SWP in January, whilst Micah Richards' call-up to the full England squad led the way for the inevitable stories of a move south to Arsenal.
