    Could see Rafa there but no chance Gerrard goes Everton.ย 
    Moyes could go back... then I would laugh at GSB!

    Carlo Ancelotti has left Everton to become head coach of Real Madrid for a second time.

    All done in less than 24hrs.
    Thats how you run a football club.
    Unlike Daniel Levy who is still dicking around.
    I'm not Real Madrid are an example of how to run a football club tbh
    In terms of selecting a manager decisively, I would say they are in direct comparison to THFC.

    Real have just gone for an experienced yes man given they'll be skint, you'd moan of Spurs did the same.

    Ancelotti is decent but he's basically there so they don't have to back a Conte or Poch with too many new players.

    Re: the Fabrizio Romano tweet, he's followed the lead of Sky Sports Italia and a few other Italian press/media sites.

    Meanwhile, The Source @SecretPrem (who broke Ancelotti to Real Madrid first) reckons Spurs will announce Pochettino at 5pm today, so who knows.

    The usual ITK sources are quiet.ย  They normally get wind straight away of whats going on, so having to take everything with copious amounts of salt at the mo.ย  Even one of my best mates that works for the club doesnt know whats going on and he has direct links to the boardroom.ย  So wont believe anything until there's a picture of someone holding a contract with a pen in his hand.

    Might be telling that the tweet I linked has since been deleted re: the announcement today.
    Will be interesting to see what happens :)

    It would be classic Levy if, similarly to all those rumoured big money signings that they were going to make in bygone seasons but never actually did, they end up with Mason!

    Derek Adams has left Morecombe apparently to go to Bradford City

    Currently watching a live interview with Chris Cowlin and Fabrizio Romano.ย  Looks like its actually happening.
    The new DOF surely means the end of Steve Hitchen of Director of Player Recruitment - that will make a lot of Spurs fans VERY happy.

    Don't understand that. All that effort to get promoted out of L2, and soon as it's achieved, quits to take over a L2 side!

    Yes Bradford are a much bigger club than Morecambe, but that's no guarantee of success. Richie Wellens got Swindon promoted to L1, quit after a few months to take over at Salford back in L2, where he only lasted a few months

    Chairmen are rightfully attacked for not giving managers time to build a side, but a lot of managers are just as guilty, constantly jumping between jobs instead of building a club, like Ainsworth has done.

    Someone else did that with success not too long ago but I canโ€™t recall who it was. I think the potential at Bradford will always be a draw. Leaves Morecombe in tough spot though. They were so lucky on the day in the play offs and unless they can buy some offensive players will desperately struggle to score next season.

    Palace copying Brighton!

    Brighton had an experienced British manager, and replaced him with a younger more "progressive" manager from Swansea

    Ryan Lowe got Bury promoted and jumped ship to Plymouth.
    It's simple to understand, he's being paid more money.

    That one was understandable, as Bury collapsed weeks later, and he clearly saw the club was a shambles

    ย Bury being wound up had nothing to do with it ?
    Probably, but I was answering RC's question, who else did it not long ago?

    No, if anyone wants to read the thread it says -

    "Don't understand that. All that effort to get promoted out of L2, and soon as it's achieved, quits to take over a L2 side!"

    "Someone else did that with success not too long ago but I canโ€™t recall who it was?"

    Paul Cook did it, albeit a year later. Got Chesterfield promoted, then took them to the League 1 play offs before leaving to drop down to League 2 with Pompey.ย

    Bradford City have appointed former Morecambe boss Derek Adams as their new manager on a three-year contract.

    It's bizarre that Bradford haven't played at Championship level since 2003-04, and have spent much of that time in L2
