Didn't Xia say last week that he knows who the manager is but doesn't want to say anything just yet and all will be revealed next week, or something along those lines?

Especially as he's Hollis' first choice, and legally, Hollis is still running the club. So, I assume he's got a bit of influence on Dr Xia.I think it would be wrong to assume Hollis has any influence on the new owner at all (especially once the sale is rubber stamped). I'd like to think Dr Xia would get some advice from people who know the club. Who knows?Why are we assuming that he is Hollis' first choice?

I'd have really liked Dyche for some reason.

I have no source but someone just text me saying Pearson has ruled himself out - something about not wanting to be 2nd fiddle / choiceProbably BS
