Pamplemousse

All over twitter that he is having a medical tomorrow, £5.27M plus £1.75M in bonuses. Looks like he'll be our first summer signing.

Pellegrino's coaches have been with him at every club he's been at, so they'll move from Alavés to here.

I never said he wasn't in the city. I said he hasn't been anywhere near the club. We are not going to be after a failed former Portsmouth manager.

Tony Adams is trying to buy Sunderland, so relax guys. He hasn't been anywhere near the club.

So when does the 18-19 kit thread get started?

How about we sing this Pellegrino instead of Jermain Defoe The complicated ones with lots of nice lyrics in are cool but we have to consider what the Northam can actually do. Lots of fast pace clapping as well, so it fits in nicely with the capabilities of the Northam.

If we win and do well, he'll have nothing to troll about. He's only happy when we lose. Sad!

Vallejo was already at Alavés, I'm not sure Pellegrino has worked with the same GK coach at every club. Perhaps though this guy is so good that MP will want to bring him in too.

No news yet, but there are three guys with whom he has worked at many of his clubs before, so it seems likely that they'll come with him. Unless they don't fancy the English weather.

None of them have English wikipedia articles so I had to rely on my A-Level Spanish knowledge and Google Translate.

No. But I have done some digging. His assistant at Alavés was another Argentine called Carlos Compagnucci, who has worked with Pellegrino at his previous three clubs, so I'd imagine he'd be one of them. And there was another called Xavier Tamarit, who also worked with him at Estudiantes, Independiente and Alavés. He also worked with a Fitness Coach called Gabriel Macaya Fernández he's been with Pellegrino at every club he has managed.

I still haven't got over Adkins leaving in all honesty. I don't think I ever will

Pellegrino woooahh Pellegrino woooahh He comes from Alavés He fecking hates the skates

No mention of how we have the most passionate fans in England? Pellegrino OUT

Black was rumoured to be part of the problem regarding players' animosity.

So presumably, the "surprising news" would be Tuchel changing his mind over only wanting to manage a top 4 team.

AC Ajaccio

The main thing to worry about is what mark trousers will give you out of 10

Tomorrow afternoon I reckon

Bednarek gave away a penalty and got sent off. Perfect for us then.

Football has never ever made me angry as I was at that moment. I think the only thing that would make me angrier is if the skates beat us by scoring a deliberate handball goal or their player diving to win a last minute penalty.

Agree with this. He has knowledge of the English game too, which is an added bonus. Seems like he was the best man available.

Quinn is just trying to wind us up. He is succeeding. Please ignore him, and stop plastering his sh!te all over the internet!

If there is a god, the same will happen to Liverpool this season. Without them escaping though.

No you wouldn't. Stop being silly.
