Is this any closer to benign resolved. Cos it's getting annoying.

Any ITK info flying around?! I thought we were unveiling Villas-Boas today?
 
Assuming they didn't start interviewing, seriously looking before they sacked KK. I'd be a little disappointed if they rushed such an important decision. I can't imagine any major company making a decision on this within a week.

But I'll be getting worried if it's not sorted by the time the transfer window opens on the 1st July.
 
ITK'ers are full of shit

It's been six days since Kenny's sacking, have some patience.

I have heard that Kenny is going to be given another season though he is only going to have £95m to spend this summer.

He kept up Wigan with some astounding results late in teh season. But they were up shit creek due to results like this:

Wigan 1 - Sunderland 4
Man U 5 - Wigan 0
Wigan 0 - Arsenal 4
Wolves 3 - Wigan 1

And let's not forget some other highlights of his Wigan tenure:

Losing 5-0 home and away to United in one season.
Wigan 0 - Blackpool 4
Wigan 0 - Chelsea 6
Chelsea 8 - Wigan 0
Wigan 1 - Spurs 9

He is one of the shittest managers in the Premiership. A totally useless cunt.
And we are interviewing him for the Liverpool job.

Hooray for The Yanks Mk 2.

Another bunch of clueless bellends.

classic bren 😀
 
He's shite Modo. He flatters to deceive mate. We may as well be singing the praises of Paul Jewell or Fathead Bruce because they did better with shitty Wigan than Martinez ever has.

Do you really want negative Modo back? It's do-able.

Tbh Sheik summed up my feelings about this whole ordeal pretty well.

I'm bored of the whole thing now. I'm at the point where none of the candidates (if the candidtaes the press keep telling us are the actual candidates) inspire me with confidence. I'm bored of people moaning about the candidates. I'm bored of people moaning about FSG. I'm bored of SOS spouting their gob off. I think it's pretty clear no-one knows what's going on and well, I'm going to wait and see what transpires before pointing the finger.
 
The reason I don't want Capello, isn't because of his boring defensive football or his age or that he barely speaks English. It's because he likes Downing.
I don't want a manager who would consider starting with Downing.
 
I'm not disagreeing with Sheik. I'm bored of it all myself. Hence why I've not been on much today.

Liverpool target: Harry Redknapp

Harry Redknapp has emerged as a shock target to become Liverpool’s new manager. Standard Sport understands that the Merseyside club are considering making a move for the 65-year-old having sacked Kenny Dalglish last week.
Redknapp is believed to have shot up their wish-list after Frank de Boer, Jurgen Klopp, Didier Deschamps and Brendan Rodgers ruled themselves out of the running.
Liverpool still have some candidates interested in the job, including former Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas, ex-England boss Fabio Capello, Wigan coach Roberto Martinez as well as former Reds manager Rafael Benitez.
However, their desire for Redknapp, who has just one year left on his contract at Tottenham, is a stunning new development.
It is believed Liverpool’s owners, Fenway Sports Group, have been impressed with the job Redknapp has done at White Hart Lane and the style of football he plays.
Spurs only missed out on qualifying for the Champions League because Chelsea — who also have Redknapp on their list of candidates for the manager’s job at Stamford Bridge — won the competition.
But there has been speculation that the relationship between Redknapp and Tottenham chairman Daniel Levy has been deteriorating.
Redknapp’s link with the England job following Capello’s resignation in February sparked a major slump in the team’s form and a run of one win in nine games ensured they slipped from third, which would have seen them make Europe’s premier club competition, behind Arsenal into fourth.
Significantly, Redknapp has yet to sign a contract extension and while he insisted last week that he wanted to stay at White Hart Lane, he also confirmed that no talks with Levy had been planned.
However, should Liverpool pursue their interest in Redknapp, they will be aware that Levy will demand compensation for the 12 months remaining on his contract.
Another stumbling block would be whether the former West Ham boss would want to manage a club in the north of England.
Redknapp lives on the south coast and that was the main reason he rejected the chance to manage Newcastle in 2008.
Spurs have already begun working on securing their transfer targets, including Ajax defender Jan Vertonghen, Marseille striker Loic Remy and trying to agree a permanent deal with Manchester City for Emmanuel Adebayor.
But despite seeing a number of approaches rebuffed, Liverpool’s owners still feel that getting the chance to take over at Anfield will be tough for anyone to turn down. The summer is set to be a tense one for Spurs as they struggle to keep hold of their best players now its the Europa League instead of the Champions League.
Standard Sport revealed earlier in the season that Luka Modric had been promised a £100,000-a-year contract should the club finish in the top four and secure Champions League football.
Chelsea’s unexpected triumph, though, means that the Croatia international, who had a transfer request rejected last summer in the light of three bids from the Blues, is now expected to quit White Hart Lane.
Spurs will demand over £40million for his signature and would prefer him to move abroad. Real Madrid are interested while Chelsea, Manchester United and City will not be put off.
Gareth Bale is also a target for Barcelona and Real and hinted he would consider leaving if Spurs failed to secure a place in Europe’s premier club competition next season.
There are also doubts about Jermain Defoe’s Spurs future. The England striker started just nine Premier League games this season and wants to be more involved.
He told talkSPORT today: “It’s a difficult one, I’ve never said I want to leave the club, I’ve just said I want to play.
“As a forward you just want to get some sort of rhythm and a run in the team. That wasn’t the case towards the end of the season.
“I’m just going to see what happens. I’m going to concentrate on England and Euro 2012. The most important thing for me is scoring goals.”
Defoe also stressed the importance of Spurs retaining their star players.
He said: “It’s always important to keep hold of your top players but in football you never know what will happen. But Luka and Gareth, they’re top players who you can’t replace, so we have to keep them.”

The press are just making a lot of this shit up as they go along.

The only real candidates we appear to be in for are Boas and Martinez. None of which inspire me with great confidence, but Boas is surely superior to Martinez, whose only real credentials appear to be a nice smile, a positive attitude, and clueless as to what defending actually entails. If that's what we're looking for in a Manager we may as well hand the job to SpiderNeil.
 
Anyone any good with simultaneous linear equations or whatever they're called/used to be called when maths was hard?

De Matteo taking WBA into the Championship and gets sacked
Woy does a much better job with same players and keeps them up easily
De Matteo gets Chelsea job and wins 2 trophies including el gordo
Woy gets England job
Martinez keeps Wigan up with series of miraculous results

Fuck knows what I'm on about.
