FFS will people stop guessing who it is at the euros. Every fucking important manager will 'be at the euros' as it a major tournament and some of the worlds best players are on show.

Czech: Michal Bílek :: Czechs :: Age 47
Denmark: Morten Olsen :: Danish :: Age 62
England: Roy Hodgson :: English :: Age 64
France: Laurent Blanc :: French :: Age 46
Germany: Joachim Löw :: German :: Age 52
Greece: Fernando Santos :: Portuguese :: Age 57
Italy: Cesare Prandelli :: Italian :: Age 54
Netherlands: Bert van Marwijk :: Dutch :: Age 60
Poland: Franciszek Smuda :: Polish :: Age 63
Portugal: Paulo Bento :: Portuguese :: Age 42
Republic of Ireland: Giovanni Trapattoni :: Italian :: Age 73
Russia: Dick Advocaat :: Dutch :: Age 64
Spain: Vicente Del Bosque :: Spanish :: Age 61
Sweden: Erik Hamrén :: Swedish :: Age 54

So some bloke on SO says the next manager is at the Euros and will be announced soon, yet JJ says IF we get who we want we'll be happy.

I'm discounting the 'manager is at the Euro champs' info. It could end up being true but I suspect nothing is finalised yet and it could still be anybody.

So what if they do? Genuine question.

DL has so far proved himself to be a sensible businessman in a sporting environment. His track record is fairly solid, few errors along the way with managers but quickly corrected.
He has a vision of where he wants to take the club and there is a lot riding on new stadium, kit deals etc. The easy option would have been to keep Redknapp and everything that goes with him. Now the papers will be ready to tear DL apart and question his wisdom. He needs therefore to have a respected replacement ready to step in quickly to show both the press and future investors we mean business.

have a sneaky feeling Guardiola could be the man.
Was thinking this after reading the post from SO ( I think?) saying that it would be the easiest job in the world to keep modric, bale, VDV etc so I read into that as a big name??

Well I'm off to bed - here's hoping to me waking with Mourinho's name splashed across the media as our new boss and proclaiming his love for the club with Ronaldo following suit. ;)

"in case you missed the post.

Harry is definitely not going any time soon"

On Martinez, FYI JJetset "disagreed" with the Ari Gold alleged ITK that Martinez would be the next manager.
Gotten to the point where mods should consider ITK's forum "actions" to be new ITK to be published in the RO... just saying...

The Euros being on buys us some time. However this needs to be sorted ASAP and I would imagine Levy will act very soon. Generally is quick ala Ramos and Redknapp.

Nothing quick about Ramos. We were in contact with him shortly after the close of the 06-07 (according to Paul Barber, AKA Robofan, the first approach came from one of hs representatives, presumably Poyet's chum Tony Jimenez); Levy denied Ramos' version of events, but then he would, wouldn't he? Fortunately for him, he had Comolli and Kemsley as fall guys.
