I was reading this until I got to the "ali z" part

Me too, I was under the impression dovahkiin was bitten by ali z and storts.

Context huh.


By the way, assuming ali z is In The Know, could it be possible that he is throwing Martinez in there in order to throw people at the club off his scent.

Presumably our pleas for Tuchel to be considered have fallen on deaf ears? Out of Pochttino, Benitez and FDB, I'd go for the Dutchman.

Levy probably just hasn't gotten around to checking the SC fan poll on who to pick for the next manager, be patient

Well there has to be about a 30% chance we will need to replace a manager next January so you have to keep some names tucked away for later....

bit from ali z & storts
ali z:Looks like we down to three main runners, In the Levy steeplechase, Poch is coming from behind but making ground quickly on Martinez and FDB, none of these are close to the lone yet, all of them will need to get over some big hurdles.
Dimwood likely to be gone after the Cup final if not before, will not necessarily mean we have a replacement lined up. He will end up in the land of the bootiful, wil lbe a lot of negotiating, lawyers involved in all deals.
As for the runners al are keen, Poch will lose Shaw to Chelsea and LLana prob to pool in the summer, Martinez has no money and will have to sell to buy, FDB fancies it, be fascinating who gets to the line first.
think all three are neck and neck for various reasons, not least the cost of buying Martinez. the cost is huge compared to the others would half our transfer budget.

storts: Interesting that Ali mentions Martinez because I have not been told his name once, i've been informed it's FDB, Poch and Benitez that we are considering most, in that order.
On Lallana, we definitely have interest too, not done and dusted to Liverpool but it's early days, seasons not even over. Townsend will probably be sold this summer too whilst his stock is high
someone:Why on earth would Benitez be 3rd choice? His CV is about 50 million times more impressive than the other 2
storts: You'll have to ask Daniel, only relaying what I know.
Benitez is the most difficult to prise away though.


What is actually really pleasing is that we are willing to try for Martinez if that is to be believed however i aren't full monty on his ITK (not slating it just don't think he is always as correct as jj) but i think i would choose Martinez over them all. Love his mannerisms and all his teams always play with passion and he obviously has experience, has he improved his teams though? IMO no but the brand of football is better however he has had a very limited budget at both teams and done extremely well within that budget so this suits Levy. I would love him as manager just watch that football and the confidence he can give our players and the guy has class. Never slates other players managers but i highly doubt he is a viable option.

Ah, Ali Z.

He is my favourite ITK.

Not what are only reliable ITK and Journo is saying. Just have to agree a fee with Southampton & the player is very interested. Said only potential problem is Mancs trying desperately to nick him at the last fence but 80 percent certain he'll be a LFC player by August.

I like the bit from storts that townsend will be sold. Personally I think hes worth 6-7m max basically because hes English. I do however think he is rated a better player by other fans and we could maybe get 12m for him. Totally agree we should get rid because I think hes a terribly frustrating player

He's an England international, £10m minimum with add ons included.

What does your ITK guy say about Suarez?

Townsend is frustrating but he's still got that talent hidden away somewhere. He's just very raw at the moment. Under a good coach he could really develop his game.

I'd much rather we show Lennon the door if we're looking to raise some money. Townsend is club grown and he isn't the worst backup. He'd need to be replaced so it'd just be more unnecessary upheaval unless we're talking £12-15m.

Honestly I find it difficult to take anyone who says things like "Levy admires X" "Levy hates X" "Levy thinks this, Levy thinks that"

Fucking terrible player.
Lennon without the end product.
Yes, I really meant that.
