Crystal ball predictions game

[Darbyand]

A little game to see who is best at peering into the crystal ball of just under 6 months time. Basically you just need to quote the template below and edit any in which you think the current situation will change. The scoring will be:
If you correctly predict that something will stay the same you get 1 point.
If you correctly predict that something will change AND predict the new correct ‘thing’ at that time you get 10 points.
All situations and final scoring will be done as things stand at 1 September 2013.

All entries to be considered for scoring in by Friday 15 March.

Since the mini-comp above there's been a fair amount of noise about several of the players/managers as follows:

Will be the manager of:

Arsenal: Arsene Wenger - no gossip
Chelsea: Rafa Benitez - almost certainly won't be Benitez, Mourinho has been dropping some hints but doubt will be clear before we know Real's fate in the Champs Lge.
Liverpool: Brendan Rogers - no gossip
Man City: Roberto Mancini - described as a "dead man walking" by several journalists but very popular with the fans and putting together a strong finish to the season.
Man Utd: Alex Ferguson - no gossip
Everton: David Moyes - no gossip

Will be playing for:

Gareth Bale: Tottenham - constant chatter about a mega big from Madrid. Likely to be decided by Champs Lge qualification?
Luis Suarez: Liverpool - linked to Bayern Munich pretty heavily.
Frank Lampard: Chelsea - some chat at the weekend about him postponing a summer wedding which people said meant he was going to America but the logic escapes me
Wayne Rooney: Man Utd - plenty of rumours linking with PSG.
Leighton Baines: Everton - no rumours yet but sure to be plenty come the summer
Christian Benteke: Aston Villa - saw a story saying Spurs will bid for him regardless of Villa's fate
Cristiano Ronaldo: Real Madrid - gone quiet recently
Radamel Falcao: Athletico Madrid - surprisingly linked with Man United. Can't see it myself but could be linked to Rooney's future.

Will be managing at:
Jose Mourinho: Real Madrid - see above

[blahblah]

I read\heard something about Moyes going to Germany.
