    I'd be amazed if Watford offered him the job. It's got Ranieri or Pioli written all over it.

    I think he is just waiting to see what his agent gets now he's said he has a week.

    I can't see him walking into no job. I can see him staying if:

    ...No PL offer
    ...Our offer is good enough to give him a fighting chance of going back up.

    A foreign offer would have to be top drawer and I can't see one touted. A PL link isn't an offer, it's just a potential at best, and paper talk can sometimes be just guesswork.

    He may well be here if the reality is no one offers him a good enough chance.

    If he goes abroad this summer he's out of the PL shop window and soon forgotten. I honestly think his best bet of a decent PL job is having us top at Christmas.

    Depends if he thinks he can do that...

    he wants to manage in PL.. he has stated that.
    he will probably take us up in 2018, if he has that patience to wait a year.
    if not? Watfud will gladly take him.

    The championship is easier to fail in than go up...
    It's a brutal league even if you have a great squad.


    It's a gamble if he does a Benitez. But maybe not as bad a gamble if no tempting offers materialise. I agree a foreign club is a step back and I can't see an overseas big hitter coming calling.

    He might announce it after the match on Sunday with a sing song on the pitch.

    and? Leicester went out at 1/4 final stage of ECL.
    can they do it again?
    not sure.
    is it impossible?

    Realistically at present he's unlikely to get one of the top 7 jobs (as the table stands at present).

    The only clubs apparently looking to get rid, or have got rid of their manager - Southampton, Lester, Watford, West Ham maybe. Wouldn't be surprised if Dyche got head hunted for these (apart from Watford)

    The others probably will remain loyal for the time being - Bornmuff, Burnley, Stoke, Swansea, WBA and Palace. The three promoted clubs unlikely to change.

    Watford appears best bet. Put in a good season or two there and then the bigger clubs may start looking.
    Burnley - if Dyche moved on upwards.
    WHU / WBA if they were sufficiently dissatisfied with Pulis and Bilic.

    I think he's very astute and unintentionally has let slip a couple of times what a **** up City are, which makes me think he'll be better off elsewhere. Hope not and he might just surprise us, but I'm not holding my breath.

    Will they win a Europa Cup Final, the equivalent of the UEFA Cup, as well, like Valencia did the second time they won La Liga? On no, they can't...

    It will be impossible for Leicester to get to the 1/4 final of the ECL. On that you are correct.

    It's not impossible for SPAL to win Serie A next season.

    I think he'll want to do something in the UK which he can make a success of. If he heads straight back to Spain, Italy or wherever now he'll always be 'that bloke who tried the PL and came back with his tail between his legs after 6 months'.

    If he doesn't stay I'll be so depressed. We need him way more than any individual player. Really don't want us to get in that managerial circus and scramble for dogshit

    IF he does go, Im sure that the Allams will pull another rabbit outta the hat.
    Im 100% sure that we wont be stuck with a waster like Alan Curbishly

    Id wish for any of these:- http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1787313-25-best-managers-in-world-football-right-now

    What about the guy at Fulham? Or has he already had a turn at Watford? I do get confused with that club..They seem to have had more managers than the NHS
