Yeah his agent said that a week ago.

What a ****ing mong.

Welcome Claude. The appointment hasn't got the excitement going for me like Koeman (other than making me £300 richer), however very interested to see how this pans out. I also don't think we're going to cut our nose off to spite our face, and start chucking academy players into the first team for the sake of it. They've obviously got to be good enough and it seems that (following links to a few good youngsters) the club has acknowledged that and are looking to try and boost the younger ranks to improve the quality. I'm seem to remember reading somewhere that, towards the end of his tenure, Koeman wouldn't even let academy players train with the first team and clearly wasn't that interested in developing them. Hopefully the new management will give them the opportunity to develop and improve - might even see a few gets some game time in cups like under Poch.

That went well last time.

Apparently he signed a new 4 year deal in May... so probably not him!

Was it the lad from the Man City u21's you mentioned before?

ITK again this time??

Mr Rooney... You have previous on this... Fairly sure you called the Charlie Austin transfer first... Really hope this is true!

Seeing as he last managed them in 2001, hopefully no-one!

Pelle more than likely I'd imagine - Tadic, who knows... depends how much he didn't get on with RK and if he wants to sign a new deal

He's got 3 years left on his deal I thought?

We'll see at the end of the window. If he is, then its a serious moment.

As disappointing as it is to lose Mane, I'd made my peace with the fact he was going towards the end of the season - hopefully the club can pull another gem out of the bag. What does get my goat is how bad/naive we still are at PR - don't release to the press that we won't entertain a bid less than £40m, then sell him for £32m before the window's even open!

I'm with Pamplemousse - guy doesn't know anything.

You're turning more into a wetter version of Alpine by the post. You don't like Les Reed, we get it.

Christ, please no.

Hopefully we play Iceland then..... (I'll get my coat).

IF this is true and MP gets appointed, I will apologise unreservedly to Turkish for accusing him of being a WUM.

5/1 on Coral...

Doesn't know anything, been on a wind up all day

He got cleaned out as he was shooting, but seemingly because he got the shot away it got overlooked. Definite pen for me.

Maybe he's moving to BT Sport, to challenge Michael Owen's crown of Sh*test Commentator.

Would suggest to me that either Mane or Tadic are offski if we're signing both.

Chris Coleman was at the last game v Palace... No Welsh players on show... #justsaying
