Frustrated by finances and the Basque rule, he is out of contract in the summer. Not on as much as Moyes was either, so should get a pay rise.

For him, I would drive to Bilbao and drive him all the way back to Liverpool myself

If you get him, you might, just might, challenge Chrissy Hughton's Yellows next season.

You are right.

Looking at his record with Argentina, Chile and Bilbao, he does typically struggle when he first takes on a job. It takes teams a while to adjust to his style and system, so you could be right, we could well have a season at the bottom end of the table next year.

by GSC Mon 13 May 2013, 4:46 pm

Not sure Everton have the players, or the funding to acquire them, for Bielsa. Seems a real longshot that one.

by **Afro** Mon 13 May 2013, 4:48 pm

Nor did Bilbao or Chile.

by GSC Mon 13 May 2013, 4:48 pm

Maybe.

Real Madrid approach for Ancelotti turned down

We only turned up for 6 minutes of the season against your lot and still got 4 points out of you Laugh

It wasn't like he was able to spread his wings in the transfer market at Bilbao either though

Just a reminder before the rush on the TP increase, the rule is now that each TP must be on its own post

I'm also really gutted that I have to go to English tomorrow, because it means I miss the all important increase.

No point in poofing around, I was gonna get Lewandowski. Lewandowski + Mandzukic. Nobody could handle that sh!t

Think the rule will be enforced from next season because people have been doing it this year...

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 13 May 2013, 8:39 pm

There may, or may not be a PM for Sodhat.

It may, or may not be containing my bid for Lewandowski

Oooo the mystery

by sodhat Mon 13 May 2013, 8:45 pm

I may or may not have received it.

by Marky Mon 13 May 2013, 8:56 pm

For the record, Lewandowski and Mandzukic wouldn't work together, too similar.

I'm the guy that signs players that are already in the league and plays them. You're thinking of Marky.

It's my gimmick. That and the Cherries/Brazilian Shakhtar experiment.

I'm currently on Fifa management mode (because I'm crap at playing the normal version just ask Azzy)first transfer window of the German season as manager of Gladbach and Ive sold Luuk De Jong to Barca for 35m.

I sold Aubameyang from my Crawley side to PSG for £25m on Jan 31st, 6 months after I bought him for £11m Euro Division Homepage LVII - Page 14 3559488474

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 13 May 2013, 9:32 pm

I noticed that after a few seasons, at the end of the season, really really good young players become available on free transfers.

Got a 6ft 7in forward with 94 pace up top. Like my perfect player

by Gregers Mon 13 May 2013, 10:06 pm

Weighing up selling my lawyers to bring in a 24.5 mill player

Wilshere - Alonso - Matuidi

Or

Lahm Varane Garay Alaba

Both tempting...

by **Hero** Mon 13 May 2013, 10:07 pm

With the cash I bought Lewandowski and Lamela.
Fifa go home you're drunk.

by Trebs Mon 13 May 2013, 10:23 pm

Who is Wilshere? Never heard of him.

Mancini gone

by **Good Golly I'm Olly** Mon 13 May 2013, 10:32 pm

I think it's fairly harsh personally...

by **Hero** Mon 13 May 2013, 10:33 pm

It is with regret that Manchester City Football Club announces that Roberto Mancini has been relieved of his duties as Manchester City Manager.

This has been a difficult decision for the owner, Chairman and Board to make and it is the outcome of a planned end of season review process that has been brought forward in light of recent speculation and out of respect for Roberto and his extensive contributions to the Football Club.

Despite everyone’s best efforts, the Club has failed to achieve any of its stated targets this year, with the exception of qualification for next season’s UEFA Champions League. This, combined with an identified need to develop a holistic approach to all aspects of football at the Club, has meant that the decision has been taken to find a new manager for the 2013/14 season and beyond.

Chairman Khaldoon Al Mubarak said: “Roberto’s record speaks for itself and he has the respect and gratitude of Sheikh Mansour, myself and the Board for all of his hard work and commitment over the last three and a half years. He has clearly also secured the love and respect of our fans. He has done as he promised and delivered silverware and success, breaking the Club’s 35-year trophy drought and securing the title in 2012. I would like to personally and publicly thank him for his dedication to the progress that he has overseen and for his support and continued friendship."

Assistant Manager Brian Kidd will take interim responsibility for the remaining two games of the season and the post-season tour to the United States.

Have Championship lawyers been posted today? or are they posted tomorrow?

Shame about Mancini but they haven't played well this season. They had a bad hangover from all the partying! When I saw them play this season they looked distinctly average.

Also be interesting to see where Mourinho goes! Though I will warn you all now if he makes a return to Chelsea, then this will be me ---> Yahoo
