yeah i tend to agree, nothing to stop a contract dated 1 July being signed and the announcement made beforehand. Perhaps that will happen, maybe hes gone away on holiday although we do have issues when managers go away on holiday :-(

He is indeed but the fact they want to speak to others and extend it by another week suggests they arent entirely convinced/happy which again harks back to Guan's post as mentioned earlier. Totally agree about endorsing the clubs view that this is an important appointment, nobody can dispute that.

Doesnt look like Pelligrini if they are feeding that to The Echo. I would still plump for them producing a name out of the hat that nobody has either heard of or speculated on.

Does that include an apology for basically calling the guy a liar since day one ?

If this is true yet another upgrade in manager, would be a fantastic statement of intent from the club !

Who signed an extended deal a few months ago when Fonte did then ? I could have sworn it was Davis ! Excellent news anyway

I'm going to take the contract negotiations with two players that will please the fans with a pinch of salt to be honest. After being burnt at least three times before with similar positive noises coming out the club I can't take anymore let downs on that score

incredible isnt it ?

Pressing game like Poch according to the article posted about him

thats in bad taste isn't it ?

I'm liking the sound of Garcia. Be very happy with him, especially like the idea of him liking to hang around in a job for a few seasons !

I think its a good statement, we were hardly going to hang out the bunting and blow party poppers in celebration of his move. I think the club can be a bit too trustworthy at times not petty. Mind you even his agent believed him when he said he was staying! If he has been in a "WTF do i do" situation it was through his own making, not the clubs. The offer was there, highest paid manager in the club's history, a 5 year plan he supposedly had signed up to, transfer targets identified and agreed. Im not sure what points to the club getting what they wanted to be honest. I think the over riding decision was from Koeman and it was solely based on his bank balance.

we will only know that umm, tomorrow

its a load of old crap, they have had over a week to read paperwork while he has been on holiday no. 2

in your opinion, you don't know that for sure unless you know the guy who wrote it originally.

Fair point although ironic if Sadio is happy to stay cos RK has gone !

He is retired, hes nearly 80 ffs. Hes entitled to an opinion just like you or me, only difference is the local media ask him and they print his reply !

I don't suppose teams would be permitted to play a couple of wild cards if they got to the semi finals just to push that Wembley final place over the line

Seriously ? He isn't that good, yet !

Couldnt agree more, total lack of respect for his new employers. Not sure I would be happy if I was paying someone £7 million a year and they couldnt hang around for a day or two to sign the contract ! Oh well, up to them if they are that desperate.

Eddie Howe would be too **** scared to leave Bournemouth again after the Burnley job ! No way it will be him, maybe in a few years but not now.

Dont see why he should be. Top 6, European football next season, we tick a lot of boxes. If he wants to manage in England then ok we might just be a stepping stone again but that can be said for anyone as we have found out over the years.

Oh dear, how sad, never mind, too soon for him, maybe in ten years time !

No.

actually it doesn't. Liverpool is a decent place, it's just the people....... ;-)
