Tuncays coming too sure

To be fair everyone mentioned is cat! When Mon was appointed, what bad points could you have stated. Not half as many as everyone ben linked so far!

He was in Milan the week previous. A club where Donadoni carved quite a successful career for himself!

Donadoni would probably explain the trip to Milan!

Lets look at the evidence, he's abroad and judging by the generals post he is talking to an ex premiership manager.

Gerard Houlier is in England so it cant be him.

That leaves:

1 Martin Jol

2 Steve Mclaren

Any others ?

Papers say Svens already been interviewed.

Really can't see it being either of those two. I've never heard of a manager going from one club to another in the summer only to go to another club a few weeks later.

Megson Leicester to Bolton, but I see where your coming from!

City got thumped 8-1 by Boro under him, he almost destroyed Mexico and was cat as well for Ivory Coast

Quite. It's his recent record that tells against him. Quite how he managed to produce such poor results with Mexico & Cote Ivoire, I will never understand.

Don't forget the whole Notts County fiasco!

I like to think I know quite a bit about our beautiful game and I wonder if I'm missing something about this whole Sven thing.

For me, he'd be an absolute steal and on paper, as good a manager as we've had in a long long time.

He's won titles, trophies, worked in many top league with many top players.

He's got huge amounts of contacts abroad, got Man City playing the best football they ever have in recent times and I really can't see the issue.

If anyone thinks he shouldn't get it because England didn't win a world cup, then think long and hard - how many top class managers have come out badly from our national job and shown quality everywhere else?

I'd be delighted if he got the job and I love Aston Villa. I'm also very hard man to please in football, so, as I say, I wonder what I'm missing.

I hope and pray he gets the chance to prove some people wrong on here.

I agree with this and If Moyes is not coming then I think its got to be the only other option. Soccernet reporting hes been interviewed.

Surely weve got to believe hes a better appoitment than Curbs, Houllier etc....?

It's quite simple:

Sven is a brilliant football manager with incredible contacts, brilliant knowledge of the game in this country, Europe and the world, with great English and a point to prove.

We'd be mad to pass him up considering he's not in work.

City got thumped 8-1 by Boro under him, he almost destroyed Mexico and was cat as well for Ivory Coast

We weren't in Europe 4 years ago though!

Neither are we now!

Paulanddona was stating how he hadnt missed a european game in 4 years, found this strange as before Mon I'd say there was a good 5 years before we were in Europe

We weren't in Europe 4 years ago though!

I need to stop betting on this. Any one of Houllier (I'm trusting you thetrees!), Moyes or Klinsmann will cover my bets though.

To be fair if you get everyone around 20/1 you should be laughing as long as you dont back over 20 people

anyone who thinks that the VDV transfer is not dodgy needs there head testing

To be fair anyone who thinks any deal involving Redknapp isn't dodgy needs their head tested

Can we get the trees to say that Lerners flown out to Israel and is probably bring Gregory back with him, back him at 1000/1 on betfair and then lay him off and make a massive profit?

My problem with Houllier.

3) He has bought some duds such as Fred, Diouf, Diao, Heskey , Ziege, Barmby, Cheyrou and Kewell.

To be fair I think a lot of people would have signed Kewell for 6mil that time, I certainly know I would have. Fred has scored 34 in 88 for Lyon. Diouf Dia Heskey have all been playing Premiership football since!

What odds can you get on Houllier?

You could have got 10/1 an hour ago with SkyBet but he's come in to 7/1 now.

Still tens in William Hills Gaz

on betfair K Mac starting to drift due to continued support for Sven

rumours on betfair forum (doubtfully reliable) of sven being interviewed today

Lots on Betfair saying Sven is in talks now! Don't know how reliable though as you say!

Betfair

Looking on betfair there 50% of the money has gone on KMac (80K) & SGE(89K)!

KMac is odds on now everywhere 8/13 in Powers, 4/6 Lads, 4/7 SkyBet!

Easy favourite for Bookies now he has declared his interest.

I would agree, Sven too as second fav! Hoping K Mac goes shorter so I can lay him off on betfair!

In fairness Moyes has been there 7 years, could well be time for a change! Don't know if he'd ruin his rep with the Eerton fans though!

KMac is odds on now everywhere 8/13 in Powers, 4/6 Lads, 4/7 SkyBet!

Not sure about Houiller, didn't do much at Lyon bar buy Baros

And win the French league twice. Not much really

I meant pool

Was it not Houiller's team which Rafa used to win the chumps league?

To be fair Rafa had signed Alonoso, Garcia, Nunez and Josemi for that side!

why is everyone saying klinsmann? the statement clearly said has prem experience and he has none!

so that basically rules him out

Had a couple of years at Spurs, think the gen confirmed prem experience included as a player.

Yeah, or Scottish.

Or Swedish

I'm speculating but I'd imagine it's a routine end of month or end of year meeting.

Very well could have been Gaz but wouldn't it be much easier to reschedule it rather than rushing back for it? :?
