Drico
Player Valuation: £60m
These are all placeholder reports in the mainstream media. They know nothing. Frankly, I doubt that the club knows who they want that they could get, so how would the media?
Moshiri has no need to panic - we are not in a relegation fight like we were when he went for Big Sam after letting Koeman dangle on a rope for at least a month too long. This time, he has some space to make the proper choice. His ego dictates that he will want somebody with status. I think we could be waiting a bit longer for this one, and we might be surprised.
Alternatively, Carlo's departure has shattered him and he no longer cares. But is that really the likely reaction of a billionaire? I tend to think not. I wouldn't be amazed if the likes of David Moyes are furious at being used in our managerial smoke and mirrors.
All said, there's no harm in chatting with Nuno. I'd expect the club to sound out a number of plausible options. But I suspect it's a process. There will be a lot of managerial musical chairs this summer. This all buys us time under the guise of due diligence. Who knows who might become available when 11m a year is suggested as a possible compensation for having to sing the praises of Formby beach.
