World class song means a world class management duo.

Perhaps Roberto Martinez and Frank De Boer could swap jobs? Stranger things have happened. Would be an upgrade imo.

--

Martinez has been close to the Cruyff family since sharing a house with his son, Jordi, when they both had playing careers in the North West of England, Cruyff Jnr at Manchester United and Martinez at Wigan. More recently, Martinez took Johan Cruyff’s grandson, Jessua, to Wigan in 2011.

The stumbling block to any deal would be the potential levels of compensation written into the Everton contract and the fact that Martinez committed to Everton for four years.

But Cruyff will think that he can convince the Spaniard that playing in the Champions League and winning the Dutch league title would enhance his managerial c.v.

In many ways Martinez would be a perfect fit for Ajax. They expect football to be played a particular way. There is a big emphasis on youth development and a manager buying into an ethos.

I think De Boer has a bit more about him though and ultimately is the better manager.

....suspect it's more to do with the fact they've got most financial liability on him.

id guess 20 quid would move most of the names to top of the market at the minute

....more like a few hundred quid and a reasonable spread of bets I'd have thought.

20 Quid moves the market? Had I known that I'd have put more than 15 on AVB, De Boer and Koeman, that would have worked this place into a frenzy.

Very, very shaky rumours we're in for Lucien Favre, Paul Clement and Pelegrini.

Thats old rumour from evertonrumours site

LVG's contract expires at the end of next season

Yes I know but still doesn't make sense, if he won the league I'm sure they'd offer him another one and would you expect a manager like Mourinho to wait a whole season to be offered the job? I think the 'journalist' has just made the whole thing up.

It's come from Duncan Castles of The Times who's normally the Times journo to get all the Mourinho stories. I think United are just unsure about Mourinho and want to let LVG finish his contract rather than fire him for a controversial manager. The story's likely come from Mourinho's people, not United's.

I honestly think that the board are not that out of touch that MoN will be on their list if they decide to make a change.

We've got the Kenwright short list - O'Neill, Howe, Moyes, Hughes etc; and the Moshiri short list: Mourinho, Pelligrini, Emery, De Boer, Low, Koemann etc.

Thankfully we're working off the Moshiri shortlist!

We want fing Martin O'neil or Eddie Howe, Everton arent we?

I have very little knowlege on football outside the Premier League but even Steve McClaren had success in the Dutch league so I think its difficult to assess to De Boer at the moment, it seems like he'd be a gamble.

You've made these lists up haven't you?

He's retiring whether he wins the league or not. He has said he's promised his wife.

He was supposed to retire after the world cup until the utd job came along. His wife was not too pleased.

Brendan Rodgers nearly won the Premier League.

Ranieri has just won the Premier League, I know everybody suddenly thinks hes a top class manager, but this is a man that lost a game versus the Faroe Islands.

Instead of focusing on the 1 title McClaren won, focus on the 5 titles in 6 years FDB is likely to win this season, in the previous 6 seasons before he joined Ajax hadnt won the title.

Yes hes a gamble, but the mans a winner, not just a 1 time winner, but a 5 times winner, his record is impressive.

Apart from Mourinho I think every manages a gamble, it's just degrees. De Boer has done something no previous Ajax manager (including Koemann) has done and that's won four on the bounce. If he wins the last game that's 5 out of 6. The question would be over his performance in Europe.
