Ramsey was offered a job when Sherwood left but he turned it down, so he isn't someone we "got rid of" so to speak.
Was he ? I thought he wasn't offered a job ?

Yedlin should be back early enough - Copa finals are June 26, and US will be hard-pressed to get that far...Lamela might make it that far
I also don't see anything on South Korea's schedule beyond Friendlies on June 1 and 5, so unless I am missing something, he should be here.
Plus, if Rooney and Wilshere get prominent roles with England, those lads should all be done early...
I was very much looking forward to seeing what Ramsey did when he was given the QPR job. We'd heard so much about him as a coach, how well qualified he was etc, and I remember reading an article about him (a couple of years before he left Spurs) and how he was looking forward to managing a club one day because he "had his own ideas that weren't necessarily the ones being taught at Spurs". But he was awful as a manager, made some shocking decisions at QPR, tactically dreadful.
I know there are some that still hold Sherwood in high regard on this forum, but I think that Levy knew what he was doing when he got rid of those three - possibly aided by McDermott.
I still think Inglethorpe was a major loss. A very talented coach.
Is Son on the Olympic team?south korea are at the olympics in brazil starting on the 4th of august and i assume son will join up a couple of weeks before.

Would love this, however i am a little pessimistic due to onomah, winks etc rarely getting on the bench recentlyPoch has been keeping a close eye on Marcus. If we secure top 2 against Southampton don't be surprised to see Marcus on the bench vs Newcastle.

Appreciate that your info is passed on in good faith but that would stun me. Especially if Newcastle need a result to stay up.
I have just been offered two tickets for the NextGen competition in Amsterdam starting May 14th. That has cheered me up a bit after last night. Any idea of what kind of team they will be taking (age group etc).

The Pre-season is certainly going to be fun !
The Euros 2016 round of 16 will be on 25th to 27th June (and I can't; believe England and Belgium won't get at least that far) with quarter finals 30 June -3 July (historically that can be where England get knocked out in WC tournaments) whilst the final itself isn't until 10 July.
The players will want a 3 week break after that (no time to take a break before Euros 2016) so the players involved in Euros 2016 will be back to start training at the earliest 22 July and possibly as late as 31 July.
Meanwhile in Australia we play on 26th July (Juventos) and 29th July (Athletico Madrid),
Whilst the PL season itself kicks off on 13 August.
So I imagine the u21's and players not on international duty will start pre-season maybe 1 July or at latest the end of first week of July, so they will have a couple of training matches as part of pre-season so as to be relatively fit before the matches in Australia, whilst most of the first team who have been away on international duty will be very early in their pre-season fitness training. So I can't see they will play full matches - or of they do won't manage to play both matches - and its quite possible that some of the players will not be back in time for the matches in Australia especially if Belgium or England get to the finals !.
And that in turn surely means that some of the u21 squad will be involved in first team matches, and probably more than last pre-season.
The first team main pre-season training (at least for England and Belgium players - probably about 8 of our first team looks as if it its going to be mainly shoe-horned into the 2 weeks after the Austraila tour when I imagine there will be one or two other pre-season friendlies scheduled.
