You genuinely may as well have had the forum picking the manager given what he knows about football. The quality of the decision he makes will be only as good as who’s advising him.

I think West Ham, Leicester, Everton, and Southampton will all recruit a new manager pre Christmas. I suspect RVN will end up at one of these, probably West Ham.

And wolves

Potter and Moyes also out of jobs. I’d imagine one will go to Wolves and the other to a Leicester or Everton. Southampton I can see appointing Cooper. I don’t think RVN is a big enough appointment for West Han

Yes.

I’d be surprised if RVN came to Coventry, whether fans want him or not.

This maybe in the thinking of the club. We don‘t want a long drawn out process where at the end we don’t get our man anyway and have alienated the other candidates.

According to @quinn1971 RVN is done so I guess we just wait and see

RVN is agent talk. Bigging him up so other clubs are fully aware he’s available. He isn’t going to be our manager.

The only person who knows what is going on and who has a chance of becoming our next manager is King.

If his agent is bigging him up for the Cov job when all the so called bigger clubs know he's available. Doesn't that come across as a bit desperate

Wouldn’t be surprised if the noise about him applying was leaked by an agent to try and drum up interest from PL clubs.

Not really, it’s pretty standard for both players and managers.

Everyone has got so carried away with RVN. I’d be very surprised if he is our manager. He would get a top flight job somewhere soon enough. Manager merry go around is going to kick off by Xmas

There's a good chance that our next manager/coach isn't even on realistic odds with the bookies.

Yes my thoughts exactly, however, we are forgetting ‘he has applied for the job’ and we aren’t approaching him!

Yeah I was watching Exeter yesterday and remembered Gary Caldwell is doing well there and thought we’ll probably end up with someone like him

If Doug sacks Robins only to then ignore the opinions of his football staff to hire Lampard over RVN because he's mates with Harry Redknapp

Was his second place finish with PSV considered a failure?

Genuine question, I have no idea except knowing they are one of the big clubs in that league.

Yes, Ajax are a fading force, PSV only lost 1 game last season under Bosz and are clear at the top again.

The structure of English football isn't set up to produce elite quality managers/head coaches unfortunately

Agents only let it be known their client is interested if he is interested. A client being rejected for the job does nothing for their reputation.

if they don’t want the job but do want to alert other clubs of their availability they leak stories to the press, start doing press interviews etc etc … but they do not apply

Firstly, I said IF.

Secondly, this is the Internet. Not everything said on the Internet is said seriously, an awful lot of it is said tongue in cheek. You of all people should know that - say hi to your cousin!
