Summary: As domestic campaigns are winding down in Europe, two more wonderful contributors join this weekly edition to explore the key decisions ahead for two giants in the Premier League and a whole host of Serie A clubs who look to either secure their managers or seek richer opportunities during the closed season that has begun in earnest as Juventus has clinched and Manchester City tightens its grip. First up it is Gabriele Marcotti to help us examine the shocking decision by Walter Mazzarri to deny club legend Javier Zanetti one last run out in the Milan Derby and whether both Milan sides could be in the market for new managers come this summer as rumors and speculation surround both men. We also dissect the politically charged power struggle inside AC Milan, questions that Antonio Conte more than likely wants answered before signing an extension and why Rossoneri legend Paolo Maldini continues to be denied the job inside AC Milan that he clearly desires. We also examine the recent outbursts at Chelsea where Jose Mourinho has locked horns with his top performer in Eden Hazard to determine what may happening behind the scenes at Stamford Bridge and we close on the matter of Cesare Prandelli as he settles on a national team that seeks to be the prime darkhorse for Brazil, a large improvement over the disaster that was South Africa in 2010. In part two, Gareth Roberts of the Anfield Wrap joins from Merseyside to unpack, evaluate and perform the diagnosis on a Liverpool club that surrendered three late goals to Crystal Palace to see the title all but slip out of its hands with only one match to go in the season. We dig into whether the nature of the approach led Brendan Rodgers to chase the goal differential held by Manchester City or whether it was just a further reflection of his design as an attack first type of team, and what the club must consider this off-season as the move to Champions League football will require more quality depth to handle the jump in quality and the impact of extra high intensity fixtures. We close on the most important men in the discussion, and that is the ongoing rumor world for Luis Suarez in a World Cup year and whether John Henry is now prepared to take Liverpool to the next level in the Champions League with some key signings and reinforcements, most notably in defense which has ultimately cost this club its first Premier League title.
