I just cannot for life of me see that happening at all . 2 years left on contract at Everton etc .

Thought Ancelotti was quoted in saying he had no contact from any club ?

McClaren is real worry He probably would do OK with a side in Prem again in fairness...i just would prefer it not to be with us as the instant negativity towards him for multiple reasons would be overwhelming and not pretty and after a poor season is not what we need . MON returning talk is just too out there for me to even have an opinion on !

Would be utterly surreal

I think top managers have something coaches do not. An allureness about them. I've a book on how business can learn from football and top sports when dealing with management and they talk of Fergie quite alot and say that he never gets too close to the players, and has the aura of a father figure that they love but fear at the same time. McClown's problem is he has always been far too matey with players, so they automatically see him as no threat, that they can do what they want without fear of his wrath so to speak. Top managers have a stern coldness underneath their exterior. Fergie, Clough, Mourinho, Hiddink, even Dither. You just wouldn't **** them about really. The first thing Capello did when he took over from McLaren was teach the England bunch manners - he cut out all the nicknames and made the players address him as Mr Capello. He also made them turn up for dinner on time and stay until everyone was finished. They're tiny things but just show the players who's boss. He also kind of suggested the players basically ran the England show under McLaren's management. Not best examples really as England in general are still shit under Capello. Last world cup was laughbly bad.

I'll admit this got a LOL

Betting is always suspended of an evening. Think the Coyle surge is because he is one that has been overlooked - then suddenly everyone realises. He fails Randy's loyalty test which could go against him "Randy's loyalty test" ??

Valhallas overcooking it a bit. The McClaren avatar is bit OTT , the earlier stuff was bit more subtle but still few LOLs in fairness to him

lol

i do like the way Valhalla casually rfeers to McClaren as "Steve" .

IF it is Hughes....and 1st July malarky etc you know etc 3 more weeks of saying nothing.......3 MORE WEEKS OF SPECULATION oh joy!

LOL

Not McClown ...

Agree with others who think Martinez is a weak shout.

Didn't he have a dodgy heart too? Had a brain tumour. Ive heard nothing about Roeder btw was just a random thought - as just re-rmbered he was doing some scouting work for us towards enbd of season

Glenn Roeder :shock: ....

Weren't Wigan finishing 11th or something before Martinez took over? I know Wigan always play well against us but this idea that he has Wigan playing like Barca or something is just silly.

I prefer Valhalla's older stuff The new material is bit same old

O'Leary is currently available.

Still think Benitez would be a bad fit and i think he's a spent force to a degree. No denying what hes won but negative football and seems to fall out with ppl very easily. But would rather him be manager than **** McClown but that is saying very little

it would be utterly surreal

:shock:

don't want to alarm you but somebody here did say though that Lerner and McClaren "get on" or words to that effect!

A wait for Hughes? Ancelotti said himself he had no contact by any club.
