Yep, Klopp hasn't being shy about letting everyone know just how much he admires our Berty. Though this very inaccurate piece has a whiff of the hypothetical about it, perhaps just a feeler from liverpool 2hrs 13 minutes express train.

Remember when 4 million was big money for us, and we spent it on Rory Delap? How times have changed!

I don't think anything of the sort. TTIP on the other hand, to partner TTP was a priority for Obama, and as this suffered a setback, he can afford to put the UK on the backburner for 4 months as he is out anyway, and not be seen to reward those who go against him. The U.S. is the U.K.'s most important trading partner - importing just over $56 billion in goods a year. A fifth of the goods that the U.S. exports to the EU go to the U.K., and, in 2014, there was almost $588 billion in U.S. foreign direct investment in the country. If you think the Senate and congress won't press whomever takes office from their own state's point of view for exports, I think you'd be wrong. Hell, the US tried to get us involved in the North American Free Trade Agreement back in the 90's and 2000's as an alternative to further EU integration. Of course, that all changes if the Article 50 nuclear button is pushed prematurely.

That queue will last until November 8th. Then whomever gets in will start talks until they take office in Feb 2017. Obama only has 4 moths of the popular mandate left.

Invest in sterling when it bottoms, won't stay low forever!

But David Beckham was for remain! And he played with European players who would have still been allowed to play whichever way the referendum went! How could he be wrong?

Scorched Earth!

Because I was hoping for a genuine debate, foolish I know. The Politics of this country are now only a few steps behind America.

Not so much "The Great Debate" as it is "Panto come early".

I gave too mush avay! Quick Louis - To The spliffmobile! Head for Queens Park Raisins! But No, Sunny (and soon to be rainy) Rural devon.

No idea. I'm on holiday for a week so the only way i'll hear anything is if K billy pops round and tells me in person (which is a possibility). But after next Saturday, I'll be back in the loop.

Mine was based on a shortlist in Feb, K Billy has fresher info.

As much as I would bask in the news of Emery, I thought De Boer was more likely. But Manuel Pellegrini, Christ. His outlay per premier league place must be insane. The new direction isn't just about the manager, it's a comprehensive plan resulting from a ground up study of the club, and where we aim to be. He just doesn't fit. I don't understand it if it's true.

I'll put it on the record now, If Saints appoint Manuel Pellegrini it will be the biggest knee jerk move since we handed Redknapp the keys to St Marys just to make a point. A bad one. I'll be happy to be wrong.

Manuel Pellegrini wasn't even on the short-list, unlike De Boer. (Flores wasn't either, but it was drawn up before the end of the season, so maybe that's changed? Keep listing names games, I'll ask to see if they are in contention). Pellergrini would mean that at least 2 board members have done a huge U-turn on future appointment profiles. Perhaps the club are just letting the rumour ride to show we can attract big names? From a purely personal perspective it seems a bad fit. I don't think it's real.

I don't pick the names, just passed on who has has been confirmed as on our short-list. Last time the press had Holloway and Phil brown, so I guess this is progress. 3/3

Emery AVB Moyes Howe... It was so funny to see some down-market nationals link us with Martinez! If Pearson hadn't gone to Derby, no doubt he'd have been touted too.

Seeing some speculation on here about who Koeman will take with him... The players who liked him signed contracts tying them down, and thus would cost a large portion of Everton's new found wealth, or had beef with him (Tadic, Mane). Wanyama and Mane are still definitely off though, if they can find anyone who thinks they are worth as much as they have convinced themselves they are Need to tie down Bertrand and Shane long though. Both clubs on Merseyside have problems at left back.

Have info, very limited in what i can say. Very regrettable. The second I can say more, I will.

Would anyone want him here just for the money?

Some, but not all (I have heard those same lamentable arguments). My natural inclination is to vote in, but my greater inclination is to open up the matter. I don't see how the rather dubious argument that David Cameron should go back go his pledge to hold a referendum on EU membership and ignore the mandate which he was partially elected for is some kind of 'Slam dunk' piece of excellence by Mitchell. Instead it seems to ignore the major bugbears of the out camp surrounding lack of accountability and voter influence in EU decisions, and the feeling that since 1975 the EU has used the Common Market vote to expand it's decision making power into huge swathes of everyday British life, (although i would counter that as it was named the European Communities membership referendum, and the EEC was already expansive, it's not as if the 'No' side had a lack of fair warning).
