Unbelievable Jeff

They get 20% of the profit don't they? So **** all.

That was some good reading from him to be fair. If true, and I have no reason to disbelieve him, it's very interesting how the club saw Koeman.

No to both of those, but anyway I'm not going to 'tella.

3rd is an Italian...

He seems like a good guy in all honesty, so not surprised.

Misread post.

I think Long starting every game would score more...

I still think it could be Vincenzo Montella myself...Probably not, but it could be. Or Spalletti...

Because he'd be behind Long, Austin and Rodriguez (with the assumption that J Rod is fit next season).

Best of luck to him, limited but I don't think we need him going forward, will be 4th choice next season so best to let him go. Hope he goes to Everton mind #ambition

I was lost for words, but only because I was laughing so much that I couldn't speak...

Saw that too. Need to look at him.

...and I still can't help but laugh at this:

Certainly the point I was making was he is the worst of all our reported options, but really isn't that bad. See that as a big positive.

None, but Koeman was...

You like fat gingers then do you? Suppose someones got to.

If it's a personal opinion then why state it as fact? I rate him on a par with Koeman, but probably behind Pochettino (although for Poch to only amount 70 points with the team he had this season, and the results of the rest of the big teams, I think is actually a bit of a failure).

Miles better in what way? I don't think you can look at their records and say that, so it must be a personal opinion rather than anything based in fact.

Rowett above Moyes? Really? Wow. Ok, well if you're that down on Moyes then you will be disappointed.

Why would he be a step down? If you analyse it properly there is no reason why it would be. Happy to listen to your reasons, but this is someone who got Everton into the Champions League. Everton.

I'm a bit conflicted. At first I was thinking 'definitely not' to Moyes, but the more I think about it, the more I think it may work well with the players we've got. I seem to remember them being brilliant defensively, the football wasn't too bad, in fact they were a bit like us under Koeman. Yes, it didn't work out as it could have done at United, but then it also didn't for LVG who has a much longer track record. He also wouldn't just **** off like the rest as it's unlikely that a big team will ever take a punt on him again. He also has experience in Europe and has got lesser teams closer higher in the table. Conflicted, but if that's the worst choice we have we'll be alright.

FFS you two, get a room.

I don't understand why we didn't just ignore the phonecalls from Everton until we had found our replacement, and then picked up the phone. Would have been ****ing funny.

I disagree with all this criticism of Pellegrini - although I understand that if you only really see his Man City tenure it's difficult to judge. The guy is known for getting smaller clubs a long way on smaller budgets, hence why it didn't overly work out at Real or Man City (although he was pretty good at City - the team generally struggled once Pep had been announced - go figure). For those talking about 5 year plans - that plan is for the club, not necessarily the manager which in our structure is a replaceable cog of the machine. Would take Pellegrini any day.

Cool, more fed information. Be happy with Emery, however unlikely it may be.
