    3 Sunderland reporters work for the echo. None of them have a clue what is going on. The echo has been a shambles for years but it needs shutting now like <laugh><doh>.

    It would take 30 seconds to find a point of contact for Pascal Jansen (his agency's phone number) just pick up the phone lads and ask his agency if he's coming. It'll either be a yes, no or no comment.

    Not that hard lads.

    Those saying went on that long, I actually miss them when they’re not being used. I am easily pleased though.

    I worked for a millionaire Jewish agent for celebrities, John Webber from Mill Hill.

    He always used to boast that he could be in direct contact with any internationally known star within 5 phone calls ...

    ... occasionally, at their big house parties, someone would call him out.

    So he'd get them to agree to a bet starting at £500 in one call, £400 in two calls, etc. If he lost he'd pay them the full £500.
    I only saw him do it three times but he never had to make more than three calls <laugh>

    The best was when someone asked him to speak to Ursula Andress, the ex-Bond girl. So he called his client, Shirley Bassey, who'd sang one of the Bond themes. He asked if she had Ursula's number and she was about to give it to Webber. He said 'No, ask her to call me asap'.

    The phone rang withing ten minutes, "Darling!!!"

    Webber said to the fella, 'There you go, I only made one call so that's £500' ...

    ... and he made him pay <laugh>

    Ok who do you think chaps. Will or Pascal Been pretty much on the Still camp until now and would be v happy if he signed but Jansen it the first link that’s made me think He looks a very good fit. Hopefully he is in the frame and not just another social media rumour

    I think Jansen is the best fit out of all the names linked so far. Playing style, worked under a similar model, history of developing younger players. As you say I really hope it's not just a made up story

    I think Still would get more backing from the club because of how much they've (supposedly) had to graft to get him in, so I think I'd lean towards him.

    But if it's Jansen I'm happy as well, perfectly fits the type I want, excellent coaching based background. Even has the bonus of having decent success as a head coach, his win percentage is outstanding, semi final in European competition.

    | @alexedicken reports on Blues interest in Liam Rosenior as manager search enters third week.

    “Rosenior has informed Blues that he wanted to take time to consider his options and he is understood to have interest from clubs higher up the pyramid.

    Not many championship clubs looking for head coaches bar us and Burnley?

    Jansen has posted on his IG that he’s doing the coaches voice today. (If it’s his real account). Isn’t that ran by Dave Jones? Member of our board?
