As the football world catches its breath after the World Cup, players and managers alike will return their attentions to their everyday jobs.

But with a number of major issues yet to be resolved could the next week see some epic sagas finally being put to bed? FourFourTwo's betting partner Paddy Power has the latest odds.

The Cesc Fabregas tug-of-war continues between Arsenal and Barcelona. He’s already appeared in a Barca shirt once - during Spain’s World Cup celebrations - but will Cesc be wearing the shirt again on the first day of the new season?

Fabregas or Fabre-gone?

David Beckham has expressed a desire to play for Great Britain when the 2012 Olympics come to “his manor” in East London.

But will the 35-year-old’s legs last that long? It’s surely a question that won’t concern Olympics chiefs too much if they can roll out old Becks onto an Olympic pitch.

Fulham seem unable to find a quick managerial successor to Roy Hodgson with previous 1/5 favourite Sven Goran Eriksson drifting out to 9/4.

Are the Martin Jol and Ottmar Hitzfeld rumours too pie in the sky for the Cottagers, or should they be looking closer to home with the likes of Alan Curbishley, Gareth Southgate or Paul Ince?
