Manager for next season

[Des Little]

Does anyone know who Di Matteo has worked with as his assistants at other clubs?

Eddie Newton and Steve Holland

So all managers have release clauses? Or some ?  It surely not so all as compensation is paid to release from contracts .

So it's going to be a either good experiences  , savy , employed manager who has a release clause .
I can only see Steve Bruce and Kick Mcarthy Chris Hughton within championship with the criteria having  manager both league . And all managed rivals and be deeply underwhelming.  In the now premier league dyce,  pulis and allaydce.

Now all these names have been said from the start however maybe I'm missing someone?  As with the money now avalible it would  be great opportunity but perhaps for now if that rumour of meeting release clause and criteria of promotion winning /prem league experience manager then these are only real candidates.  So it's not so exciting but interesting.

Can someone be cleAr that there isn't a manager who release clause waiting in wings to be met?

Still at Chelsea. Just looked and at Schalke he had two Italians, Lombardo and Battara, who I doubt he'd want for here. No idea then who his team would be if he joined.

If he got Holland and Newton to come it would be impressive.  Chelsea think very highly of Holland as a coach.

There's no suggestion that there is, footyskillz. It was just people referring to the Benteke clause and the related badinage at the time. Looks like Di Matteo to me, jdging by the Telegraph interview. Not that I know anything, mind.

I think we've established it was a non topical joke that quickly spiralled out of control!

Thank you mr ealing

I missed the joke but I get there's no releases clauses I worried that from deductions the only manager could be one of those ! So I too would be surprised if not RDM and had onirisk excitement that a new name in frame then worked out it would have been already suggested name then it turns out it's no name just 3 letters.  Hahaha I have to laugh at mt last 25 frantic minutes looking all over internet for the news as well as SSN breaking news.  Maybe CNN is the channel or something   . Anyway I think there could be a surprise but I would take RDM and yes those coaches seem promising

Holland as a footballing nation not so much. They didn't qualify for the euros16

All of this is absolute bollocks.
RdM won the Champions League at Chelski by bringing back the likes of JT & Co after AVB's plan to rebuild post Ancelotti had failed. All he did was get in the old guard again.
When he (RdM) was sacked soon after, Rafa Benitez was appointed and immediately stated  that he had never come across such an unfit set of players.
Why?
Because RdM got lucky and let them do what they wanted.
Everywhere else he has been he has been found out.
He has no balls and is an Italian Remi Garde. Probably a lovely guy to live next door to, but not the guy to roll his sleeves up and get Villa out of the shite that they're in.
"And the music played on as the ship went down......."
It's a disgrace.

Isn't the fitness thing just a new manager line? Sherwood said it last season.  Garde then said it. Benitez said it at Newcastle. Allardyce said it at Sunderland. It's just a get out of jail free early.

[Steve67]

Release clause for an out of work manager?

I wonder if we are still interested in Steve Bruce?

I think I would prefer Pearson to RDM. RDM has a reputation for being lazy and arrogant.

MK Dons, play offs first attempt.
Wba, promoted at first attempt, best start in their Premier League history.
Chelsea, 2 trophies, sacked when 3rd with 23 pts from 11 games.
Schalke, took over 11th finished 6th.

With due respect, you're talking shite.
