Tips For Finding the Best January Sales

Department stores are always a safe bet for the savvy bargain hunter as everything can be found under one roof. Late risers risk missing out on the best purchases, so make sure you get there early. Don’t despair if you’re not in town on the opening day of a particular sale – most sales continue throughout January and you’ll find there are additional price cuts in the final few days.

If you fancy a change of scenery, or like the idea of carrying out your shopping in an alternative destination, then we’ve got just what you need:

LONDON

Kick off the January sales in style and head to Harrods. The iconic Knightsbridge store’s winter sales are famous for big savings on luxury goods. Discounts are store-wide with up to 75% off and start from the 27th of December, right up until the 24th of January. John Lewis is also great for picking up a bargain. Try Selfridges in Oxford Street for six floors of gorgeous designer goods – sales traditionally start from 26th of December.

PARIS

If you fancy spending the January sales in one of the most romantic cities in the world then Paris is the place for you. Paris’ January sales usually begin on the first Wednesday of January and over a six week period you can indulge in all Parisian shops and department stores such as Lafayette, Printemps, BHV or Au Bon Marche.

BARCELONA

Barcelona is known for its famous 5 kilometre shopping area – stretching from the top of the Ramblas, through Plaça Catalunya and is fantastic during the winter sales. Sales start during the second week of January and usually last up until the end of February, so make sure you pay a visit to Barcelona’s most popular department stores El Corte Ingles, FNAC and Heron City.

FLORENCE

Florence is one of the main centres for shopping in Italy and the numerous districts provide a shopper’s paradise. Designer shops, including Versace, Gucci, Prada and Bulgari are located along Via Tornabuoni and Via Vigna Nuova and you’re almost certain to pick up amazing products at a snip of the original price.

PRAGUE

The popular winter sales usually start around the beginning of January in Prague where you can find grand shopping malls located at a prominent location in the middle of Wenceslas Square. Palác Flóra is one of the larger malls and has huge discounts throughout their 120 shops, occupying four floors.

NEW YORK

Depending on the retail store, the start of the winter sales season can be the day after Christmas or at the beginning of January. Head down to Fifth Avenue and explore some of the finest shops in the world, including Bloomingdales, Saks and Macy’s – reputedly the world’s largest store.

Inter Jose Mourinho?

With Inter Milan's expulsion from the champions' league by Liverpool last night it would seem that a possible change in management may be something they need next season. Jose Mourinho and Marcello Lippi are the most obvious candidates as they are clubless but Lippi has managed Inter in the past without success so that leaves Mourinho

There are 5 or possibly 6 big jobs to become available next summer and 2 great managers currently without a job.

The teams that may be looking for another manager next season include Spanish giants, Real Madrid, who are said to be unhappy with the aloofness and bizarre behavior of current manager Bernd Schuster; Barcelona, ​​where it seems they go from 1 controversy to another with players seemingly unhappy, Leo Messi's medical condition, Ronaldinho's poor form and the general belief that coach Frank Rijkard is just plain inept at his job.

The other possibilities include Chelsea where it clear that Avram Grant is not up to the task and never would be; Liverpool that the directors are at loggerheads with the manager and only champions' league victory would seemingly suffice, if that; AC Milan, where it seems a cycle is coming to an end and Inter Milan where the manager has announced that he is leaving at the end of the season.

The 2 outstanding managers currently without a club are Jose Mourinho and Marcello Lippi. It has been well documented in the past that Barcelona and Real Madrid are courting Jose and in Barcelona's case even Lippi as well.

There are 2 potential problems here; the 1st being that Lippi would not want to manage in a place that he cannot speak the language and it seems he would rather manage AC Milan. With Mourinho, the problem is that Madrid and Barcelona public would not warm to his pragmatic approach to management and in Barcelona's case, he already has enemies there with both his brand of football and past antics with Chelsea against them.

I cannot see him going back to Chelsea so soon and he has said he would go back to England someday in the future but not immediately so that leaves AC Milan or Inter Milan.

Looking at both clubs and the way they operate, Jose would not tolerate the interference that goes on at Milan and would not take kindly to the kind of very old players that Carlo Ancelotti has had to put up with as others make buying decisions on his behalf .

So that leaves Inter Milan, a club where club president Massimo Moratti and Mourinho have already made mutual praises of each other in the past. Inter are exactly the kind of club Jose needs and vice versa. They have resources, a club president that does not always interfere and provides money for new players.

Players like Zlatan Ibrahimovic that seem to suffer a mental breakdown in big matches would be cajoled into greatness by Jose as he has developed the career of people like Joe Cole and Deco in the past.

He is exactly what the club needs in the champions' league as they have consistently underperformed in the competition despite the fact that they have 1 of the strongest squads in the world.

The fans do not crave beautiful football so that would not be a problem for Jose as he doesn't either and he would be given carte blanche to bring in the players he likes and with Didier Drogba and Frank Lampard seemingly unhappy at Chelsea, he may entice them there as well as Deco at Barcelona.

Two other teams that may be looking at a new manager depending on how the season finishes for them are Juventus and Valencia. Whilst Jose would be perfect for Juventus, they would have to prove that they can afford him and are on a par with his vision. But judging by their current board and some of their decisions this season, it would not appear that Jose is the 1 for them whilst Valencia do not have the kind of money to compete consistently with Barcelona and Real Madrid in Spain and the Premiership sides in the champions' league.

The Costs of Living in Madrid

Madrid, the Spanish capital is famous for its spectacular nightlife, cultural attractions and good climate. No wonder many are making plans for a more permanent stay in the hectic city.

Madrid has a quite large expat-community. It’s not as big as the one in more international Barcelona, but still, it’s possible to hang out with your own people while staying in the city. If you are more interested in learning Spanish and to meet the Spaniards, Madrid is a better choice than Barcelona because it’s the capital of Spain, while many Barcelona-residents want to break out of Spain and the a tangible amount of locals prefer to speak Catalan.

But, enough of the Madrid vs. Barcelona debate. If you want to move to Madrid you will want to know that the costs of a place to stay starts at 250 euros a month.

Whether you’re planning to hang out for 3 months or 3 years, you’ll need to get yourself a place to stay. Your best bet is to rent a room in a shared flat, which, depending on the size and location could cost you between 250 and 500 euros a month. This is by far the best option, as assuming you don’t live with crazy people, shared flats are very fun. Renting your own place can be quite expensive, as apartments in the center (and even outside of the center) usually start at around 700 euro, and can require deposits of up to a year at times (insane, I know).

Financing your stay? Your best bet for making some cash is teaching English, and there are no shortage of offers. Read the classifieds in the local newspapers and phone around.

English and Spanish Leagues Are the Most Glamorous, German Bundesliga the Best on Most Bench Marks

A financial disaster is threatening the English and Spanish leagues. The economic disaster that has affected the world of business does not appear to be sparing the world of football.

In these two countries football clubs spend a lot of money not yet earned to acquire the best players and also to pay players salaries that all other businesses simply dream about.

The Times of London has gone as far as calling it 'financial doping' whereby short term success can be bought at the expense of long term financial stability.

But there are clubs that are either leaving within their means or do understand the dynamics of football business that starts with understanding the value of fans. Real Madrid and Barcelona come to mind.

It is believed that Barcelona has to around 44 million fans around the world. You can imagine how much the club can collect from the sell of jerseys to just a half of that support base.

The Barcelona museum is another example of proper football business management and marketing. This museum receives a million people through it's doors every year paying something like seven Euros each.

But for any football league around the world looking for a blue print on how best to run football and football business the obvious choice would be the English League but regrettably it is not the best example on how to run football.

The English League does not start and stop with Manchester United, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal. There are sixteen or so other clubs that are not doing as well as the top four on all levels of football business. Their stadiums are not full through out the season. The English game is also laden with debt.

The English game best foot forward has been the marketing of their game world wide. They have been able to promote their game to every corner of the world.

But, for all those football leagues and clubs looking for the best league to learn from they should not look any further than the German Bundesliga. The Bundesliga is the benchmark organization in many areas.

The Bundesliga has the highest average attendance per game through the season through out Europe and possibly world wide.

83% of the clubs are in financially sound, incomes of players are capped not to run down the clubs.

The Bundesliga clubs have the highest average sponsorship per club in Europe.

The Bundesliga has also the best stadium atmosphere in Europe and possibly the world.

Each club is also obliged to have a youth academy. Regular checks are carried out on every club to ensure that laid out criteria of running these academies is maintained. The rationale is that it is better to grow stars than buy them.

So for any football organization looking for a league to copy and learn from possibly think Bundesliga.

Catalonia At A Glance

The Catalans have always been great seafarers, merchants and industrialists. Since they were united under the House of Barcelona, ​​their nationhood has been threatened by marriages, alliances and conflicts with Madrid, and the road to their present status as a semi-autonomous region within Spain has been marked by times of power and wealth and troughs of weakness and despair.

Barcelona was not a natural site for human settlement. Its port was negligible and its heights, Montjuic, had no water. The oldest evidence of man in Catalonia comes rather from other sites scattered across the region, notably the dolmens of the Alt (high) Emporda and passage graves of the Baix (low) Emporda and Alt Urgell.

In the first millennium BC the lands around Barcelona were settled by the agrarian Laeitani, while other parts of Catalonia were simultaneously colonized by the Iberians. The latter were great builders in stone and remains of one of their settlements are still visible at Ullastret on the Costa Brava. Greek traders arrived on the coast around 550 BC, founding their first trading post at Empuries near Ullastret. It was the Carthaginians from New Carthage in southern Spain who put Barcelona on the map. They named the city after Hamil Barca, father of Hannibal who led his army of elephants from Catalonia over the Pyrenees and Alps to attack Rome.

In reprisal, the Romans arrived at Empuries and began the subjugation of the whole Iberian peninsula. They wiped out the Carthaginians as well as the Laeitani and established Tarraco in the south of Catalonia as the imperial capital of Tarraconensis, one of the three administrative regions of the peninsula.

Roman Barcelona can be seen in the city gate beside the cathedral, while the 3rd-century walls that once encircled the town lie by the medieval Royal Palace.

Foundations of the Roman city have been excavated in the basement of the Museu d'Historia de la Ciutat, and pillars from the Temple of Augustus can be glimpsed inside the Center Excursionista de Catalunya behind the cathedral.

When the Roman empire collapsed, Visigoths based in Toulouse moved in to fill the vacuum. They had been vassals of Rome, practiced Roman law, spoke a similar language and in 587 their Aryan king, Reccared, converted to the Christianity of Rome.

Shopping Tour – Who is the New Star Joining Barcelona?

It’s always the right time to write about this topic, right? Now that Barcelona games are only available for weekends, we have lot of days to wait and lot of time to kill. Nothing is better than some transfer temptations. We will have to live with all kind of rumors till the end of the season. Being a season of elections won’t make is better, pouring oil on the fire.

So let’s go straight to the market!

Goalkeepers:

Alright, for once I doubt there will be any voices questioning Valdes as a first notch keeper. We need to buy a backup keeper. Pinto, for all his good (and bad) is aging. Barcelona Athletic keepers still untested and need at least three years to prove themselves for being reliable. The keeper we are seeking must not be a first class keeper who demands playing time, but still good enough to cover Valdes absence and with enough quality to keep Valdes alert to avoid competition threats. Claudio Bravo of Real Sociedad was mentioned for being the main target. I still think he is too good to be true. Twenty six years old Chilean international who will defend his nation in the following world cup may not find it a tempting opportunity to warm up Barcelona bench for the rest of his career. That’s ten years from now considering the Goal keepers football career. It will be an absolute craziness if it happens, in an absolutely fantastic way, for Barcelona.

On my short list -which has nothing to do with Barcelona targets- there is Daniel Fernandes for being one of the most realistic options. One older reliable -and may be cheap- option is Morgan De Sanctis who can serve for couple of years. Cedric Carrasso is a less realistic option, though not an impossible one. Federico Marchetti is an interesting option to scout, while Joe Hart is impossible to get though I want to list him here just to wonder why -OH WHY the hell!- did Manchester City loaned out such a quality talented youth and bought an aging Given?

Defense:

I will make it short. I don’t want us to sign any defender this summer. I know the club is looking for a backup for Alves. But the same as I mentioned last summer, there is no better backup for Alves than Puyol. Yet, if we need more assurance, bring back Caceres, Henrique, or promote a Cantera. I am not sure who is under the scouting radars at the moment, but I will be so surprised if the targets have the quality of Caceres or Henrique. I watched them close this season, and I am more certain than before they can serve the team well.

Besides, there is a decision to be made regarding Botia who is having a very good season on loan. There is a decision to be made regarding Muniesa, Fontàs, Bartra and the rest of defenders we have at Barca Athletic who are looking forward to see the light out of the tunnel toward the first team. The decision may not be promoting them all next season, but at least sending a clear message that they are in our plans and will have a chance and space with time.

Midfield:

My opinion about signing Cesc Fabregas is still the same. What sounded as an odd argument once, is a belief for a decent sector of Barcelona fans now. It’s not right to pay the amount of cash needed to get Cesc back home, he found a new home for himself once, and he can find another home if he wanted. But the guy is most likely a Barcelona player next season. When he wears the Barcelona shirt, he is our kid again, and will get all the support required.

For fifty millions of cash you can buy Silva who can do everything Cesc does and more, and you will still have enough money to make an agreement with a hairdresser to take care of Iniesta’s hair for the rest of his career. It’s smarter to invest that amount of money on Silva and Iniesta’s hair than on Cesc, no offense.

But the guy is coming. If we succeeded to keep either Jonathan Dos Santos or Thiago Alcantara, fine! Hope they will still feel motivated enough to challenge for a future in the club. I think JDS will be the victim of signing Cesc as he plays almost an identical role, while Thiago has some other features that makes him a different kind of players than Cesc.

If Yaya stayed, then that’s all the changes to expect in the midfield. We will have an impossible challenge to find playing time for everyone anyway. So we won’t add more complications. If Yaya decided to leave, we will give it a second try to get Mascherano, who is closer to Barcelona than some may think. If I am reading Pep well (who does?), it seems he wants more agility and stamina in the holding midfield department than strength. With Busquets improving on weekly bases, a pure defensive midfielder who can create an extremely different option for Pep is reasonable. When you want a more dynamic midfield you get a Busquets. When you want a more static defensive midfielder covering behind the offense troops as a vacuum cleaner you use the alternative Holding midfielder (Yaya or Mascherano). Yaya -in the right mood and form- is better than Mascherano when it come to playmaking contribution. Busquets is better than them both. As a pure defensive midfielder, Mascherano heads the list. Added to the rumor that Mascherano is yet to renew his contract with Liverpool, it means that he will be more attainable next summer than he was last summer. But that will only happen if Yaya left. Buying Cesc means no more installments in the midfield if no one left.

Offense:

First of all we need to sort out what we have. At the moment, we have Messi, Ibra, and Henry added to Pedro, Jeffren and Bojan with Iniesta being used when needed. I am not sure what the future plans of Henry are, but I will welcome keeping him. There are doubts if Henry can prove being useful for the club next season, which is valid. Yet, for a player who is already in your squad, the most important question is: how to benefit from his presence the longest period possible? As a key player and for the contract conditions he has now, it is not a very profitable situation for the club (If we are only evaluating next seasons’ costs Vs benefits, which is unfair as the contract worth must be evaluated by comparing the cost vs. the players’ contribution throughout the contract duration).

If Henry wants to stay till his contract run out, then he is more than welcomed. If he wants to move somewhere else, then I hope the club will release him for free so he can negotiate with any team he wants seeking his own interest. That’s the least we can do.

Yet, if he is willing to consider a new contract, I believe it’s for the best of the team to extend Henry contract for two additional years (Yea!!) while decreasing his annual earnings, and making it clear that he will be used more as a game changer than a key starter during his new contract duration. There is no better player Barcelona can sign as a game changer than Henry. I labeled him as the new Larsson once, and I am still hopeful that this wishful thinking will come true.

I have only two options to select from, if we decided to sign a new player: Silva, and Villa. All the other options are far behind.

If Henry leaves, then we need to sign a new player without any question:

1) If we sign Silva, the offense line will look like this:

Silva-Ibra-Messi as starters and Pedro- Bojan -Jeffren as backups. Not a bad structure, yet there is a huge defect in it, we’ll only have one striker -Ibra- to count on as an offense reference (9), considering that Bojan is still not ready for a key role. Imagine Ibra getting injured for few games, we will definitely be in a big trouble.

2) If we sign Villa, the offense line will look like this:

Villa-Ibra-Messi as starters and Pedro- Bojan -Jeffren as backups. That’s my favorite structure. Villa is a goal scoring forward who will be converted to a flank forward role (Henry), which will guarantee more goal scoring qualities than getting a pure wing. He is more compatible to Ibra and Messi style of play than any other option and he fits perfectly our tactical structure that is a mix of 4-3-3 and 4-4-2 diamond. Even for the youth, it’s better that the first team sign a 28 years old player than a 22 years old wing. Keeping in mind that so far we don’t really have a young striker whom we can put our bet on for the future (in the following 5 years), while on the flanks we have lot of Pedros and Jeffrens. Even Bojan is at the moment closer to a flanked forward/second striker than a nine.

If Henry stays:

It means having Pedro-Ibra-Messi as starters and Bojan-Henry-Jeffren as backups. Not a bad structure but we can improve it much more:

New signing- Ibra-Messi with Pedro-Henry-Jeffren/Bojan as back up. Meaning, we need to decide if we will keep Bojan or Jeffren. Keeping them both is so unpractical as they will eat each others’ playing time or the better will dominate the less qualified. At least a loan decision should be made in this case.

Even with Henry staying, I still favor Villa over Silva, especially if we signed Cesc. Silva is a great talent that any team would like to sign, but I can’t find anything Silva can do that Iniesta cant. Something we can’t say about Villa.

I won’t be the last time we make a virtual shopping tour, but this is how my transfers’ wish list looks so far.

The Top 5 Sights to See in Spain

Sagrada Familia: From the future, we turn our eyes back to the past and this amazing giant temple is truly an amazing image of Spain’s unique past.
