Offer us what he's worth then you cheap f*ckers.

Couple of days ago the bookies were drastically reducing Ranieri's odds. I'd imagine a few punters went in on the back of it. Today it is Mancini, who has just resigned from a Champions League side, I would imagine a few punters will go in on this as well. I am a bookies dream, but is this not just a rigging of the market to get a bit more money from punters before a manager is appointed. Koeman is still odds on.

It's up to the powerful footballing nations to circumvent FIFA. It is next to impossible to beat Blatter in any sort of vote because there are so many pygmies on board that he has bought. Would love it if England led the way and told Blatter to shove his tainted World Cup up his arse.

Our defence is average but we look good going forward. We'll need to be a lot more ruthless in front of goal. I would probably start the side that played against Honduras, and look to bring Sterling and Barkley on as we tire. Could get a draw v Italy.

Another drip-feed of bad news from Ben Smith. Its as if he has another agenda. Hope he's washed the chairman mess from his mouth.

F*cking dosh c*nt.

It's at the Container berth.

I wonder if the money going on Sherwood and Ranieri indicates that they have been interviewed? Thought Sherwood was refreshingly honest at Spurs, but wouldn't want him here. Nor Ranieri.

That is partly my point. AVB by all accounts is brilliant at interviews, others not so good. Personally, I would judge a manager by his achievements, not by how good he is at PowerPoint and whether he's polished his shoes. Kelvin, sorry, I didn't mean to call you corporate personally.

I don't think the average fan is very corporate, and doesn't really care about the merits or not of how many candidates should be interviewed or due diligence. This is appointing a football manager, not a City takeover. Ralph said last week that he more or less knew Poch was going in January, when he himself started. Plenty of time then to start the spadework in earnest for a new boss.

Cortese just got Poch in. For all his faults at least he was decisive.

I really don't see the point of interviewing '5 or 6'. I hope we don't get sucked in by 'AVB Powerpoints'. Just give the job to Koeman. He has stature, been successful, plays the right way and has a good record of bringing young players through. Les, please stop f*cking around giving yourself a hard-on interviewing people and just give Ron the job.

That last sentence could be one of the reasons we were happy to let Lambert go.

Murphy has probably forgotten more than all of us know put together.

He was crap at Fulham. Danny Murphy ripped his tactics to pieces. Would be a poor appointment,

Seems like a load of David Brent b*llocks to me.

10p for every time he sucks off Gerrard.

"Don't call that dog lifesaver, call him sh*thead."

The best way for a club to feel valued by a manager is for him to whore himself to other clubs while under contract. Judas Argie c*nt.

Latest from Oddschecker - Koeman odds-on and shortening. Everyone else drifting. Mind you, Keane was 1-8 for the Celtic job....

Let's get twice European Footballer of the Year Kevin Keegan. I would love it, love it!

FIFA is rotten to the core. Just like the IOC used to be before they, admirably, cleaned up their act. Surprise surprise, they gave us the Games soon after. I think it's our refusal to bung large bribes to the third world despots, who seem to hold the FIFA balance, that is the reason for our failure in World Cup bidding. Funny that Russia got 2018 as well.... Blatter and his cronies are as bent as a 9 bob note. It wouldn't bother me one bit if UEFA members pulled out of future World Cups in protest.

5 year contact, 4 years left to run. Liverpool don't want to pay us what we think he's worth. That is the situation.

After the initial shock, I wish him well. Nice statement.

He's now odds-on with all the bookies. Everyone else's odds are drifting. Can't see them all being wrong.
