So what was the fishpaste info about? Games being played around final negotiations?
He does regularly post things which turn out to be true, usually more of a negative slant but he seems confident and happy of this next appointment.
It’s pretty mental that it looks like the two auto promoted sides are going to lose their managers.
And two of the relegated sides who STUCK with their managers are potentially losing theirs (Edwards in line for Ipswich job)

I would guess the increasingly unlikely comment was to do with him talking to Norwich - leaked probably from Still’s side, but they’ve always had that Danish lad as first choice and have gone for him.
Cheers mate. I dont mean to say I am bitter or want a role. Actually quite content with 'retiring' now. I was never one who wanted any big front bench role in the pro game. I just love watching footballers develop and enjoyed playing a small role in that. I was lucky enough to have coaches in academies who liked my coaching approach, so I got my chance to work with elite level players. I am definitely not as useful as I once was because there are so many lads who never made it past 18 at academies who now have 2 or 3 years coaching under their belt. It is their turn at it.
Bright side - more golf

Don't get this one at all. I understand Kompany to Bayern based on how utterly dominant Burnley as a team were in the Championship however I thought Leicester were pretty average considering the level of player they had and relied so heavily on individual moments. Hard to criticise the league champions but I just think McKenna/Martin are more impressive.
Agreed, its baffling. It almost feels like they've looked at the table and gone for the recent trend of "young coach, formerly at big club as an assistant".
He ticks the boxes of the current hipster trend of appointments.
Hipster appointments. I like that phrase.
I actually think its awesome news for Leicester. £10m and the chance to appoint somebody with a playing style that might work in the Premier League.
Unfortunately Will Still kinda feels like one to me. But I'm excited by it nonetheless
City, Arsenal and Chelsea now either have Pep or a Pep assistant. I love Pep but that's boring.
100% agree mate. Maresca wasnt great imo and his team was far to easy to stop. They can appoint someone far better and be lowerid table next season.
Bit of a 2 finger salute to Leicester, they gave him his chance at being the head coach, now he's turning his back and heading to another club.
Me too mate. I am talking myself into it.Unfortunately Will Still kinda feels like one to me. But I'm excited by it nonetheless
I look on Arteta as his own man now, but I know what you mean. Few Klopp assistants now ploughing their own furrow too.

It 100% is one. But after Beale, Mowbray, Neil and the shower of dull dry shot that came before them it feels different at least.
Their fans aren't at all fussed on him going, in fact many are really pleased about it, which speaks volumes considering he was a league/promotion winning head coach for them.
Utterly bizarre from Chelsea. Like @SourPatch2 I can see the logic in the Bayern Kompany appointment and think McKenna would be a really good appointment for Chelsea but can't see the merit in taking on Maresca at all.
