I'm actually friends with Ian Livingston's son. We were chatting on the train the other day!

I am so glad that Chelsea officially confirmed Di Matteo a few hours ago or else the Redknapp news would have me fucking panicking.

Tomorrow should be interesting. We need the new man in asap. Paddy Power have already suspended betting on Moyes, it seems.

[Pesci]

I'd love for it to be Moyes. Despite being a Liverpool fan I think he's awesome and I'd love to see him given a job at a 'big' team. Plus now Everton can flush down the shitter, everybody wins.

[MJB]

It'll be a big test for Moyes because as strange as it sounds, I think he got used to working on a tiny budget and now he'll have to manage totally different expectations with decent financial support. If he can keep Bale, Modric and maybe even nick Jelavic from Everton then he'd be set I reckon.

Also, if he can impress at Spurs, I'd say he'd be a favourite to take over at United when Fergie is finally carried away in a wooden box.

I heard Alain Perrin to spurs.

Oh no, it's April 2005 all over again!

Seriously though, Slaven Bilic is leaving Croatia soon...

[MJB]

Bilic used to play for Everton, could he replace Moyes?

[Guest mr. potato head]

I think a lot of people are underestimating Arsenal for next year. Remember, they started the year off with seven points from seven games including the 8-2 bafflegab and a loss to Blackburn. That can't happen again. Plus they won't need to take as much time to get everyone to gel together.

Slaven Bilic is leaving Croatia to take over at Lokomotiv Moscow, that's already set in stone as far as I know.

I'll be disappointed if Moyes goes to Spurs but not surprised. I am totally stumped for who Everton would replace him with though...I'd genuinely be saying probably Phil Neville if it was 3 years down the line.

I know the length of contract seemed to be one issue and the collapse of our season was another (although that run did involve games against Man City where we were unlucky, Man Utd, Arsenal away, on-form Chelsea etc) but I'm sure Redknapp's England comments probably didn't help matters.

I just hope we don't see the players leaving. However tactically inept Redknapp was, he built huge self-belief and confidence in the players, especially when we were on a roll.

[Matticus]

If David Moyes went, prehaps Martinez to Everton? Maybe not because its just a bigger club with essentially the same money as Wigan, maybe one of the Euro managers who moves on after the tournament?

Martinez? Proven with a small budget and team, could do a good job with Everton.

Mate of mine tipped Capello for Spurs at 25/1 a few days ago, sadly Ladbrokes weren't offering it and its now down to 5's. I can see it to be honest.

I could definitely see this happening. I know it sounds too early but I think he'd be a quick starter.

He'll just turn them down.

[Plubby]

Everton would only take a manager on loan.

[Jimmy]

AVB or Moyes would be fine with me.
