There's no way he's going to get rid of Rashford, surely.

Well even shipping Mata, Shaw and Martial would be extremely loving stupid and shortsighted, but yeah Rashford is probably safe until he realizes he'd rather not waste his formative years on the bench.

Shoving Martial out of the door is going to be so loving stupid, because he's already performing at the same or even better level than Sanchez when he gets the occasional look in, and he's still a young and developing player. I'm calling it now: when he goes to Real or Barca or whatever, he'll be a loving world star in a couple of years. Of course Jose will be managing PSG or CSKA Moscow by then so what does he care?

How could you have somebody other than the manager deciding substitutes? They might as well be co-managers with that level of power-sharing.

If you wana read the freshest bullshit just read it to yourself you don't gotta rush to post it here. I mean it's just our assistant manager this isn't something that needs such a hot take.

"Klopp's assistant Zeljko Buvac to take break from #LFC role between now and end of season due to personal reasons. Club say his position unaffected and he remains an employee."

Also can we get a code tags of how Martial would fit into Mourinho's wasted 11?

I think it's more that Buvac kinda deals with getting subs prepared tactically etc. which lets Klopp focus on the game.

Mourinho now reporting that Fellaini is close to a new contract, but he won't be happy until he sees "white paper with the Manchester United emblem and Ed Woodward's signature". I'm noting a large lack of Mourinho making any statements to the press trying to convince Anthony Martial to sign a new deal, though.

So this summer is going to feature Mourinho binning off Shaw, Mata, Martial and Rashford while going out of his way to sign ol' Bog Brush to a lucrative new contract. It would be amazing if it weren't so horrible.

What's Martial have left, a year or 18 months? Not including this first half of 2018 I mean

He's gone 2/1 favourite now. Next manager markets are great, because the bookies are just guessing but are terrified of someone with insider info.

For those following the Arsenal situation more closely, why isn't Ancelotti being mentioned more? He was in the top few with the bookies, but isn't showing at all now and supposedly turned down the Italy job.

A quick google has an article from The Star saying he's "agreed in principal" to take it. I assume it's bullshit as it's nowhere else, but the bookies got spooked?

Regarding Ancelotti I think it’s generally regarded that he isn’t perhaps the best choice to follow a manager renowned for being hands off and fostering a no pressure environment which seems to have had a negative impact on the team. Bayern were organising secret training sessions behind his back.

The only thing That has come out of Arsenal is Gazidis saying that they want a long term appointment, so maybe Ancelotti is seen as a stop gap? I started writing this assuming Ancelotti was in his late 60’s but I’ve googled it and apparently he’s only 58? Also, people have expressed concerns with him being a hands off manager that is too similar to Wenger, as well as the way his stint at Bayern ended. I’d be happy with Ancelotti, though.

Arsenal have been very very tight lipped about this, and little has been leaking to the press. There has been some random stuff about Arsenal being in talks with Luis Enrique, as well as links to Jardim, Allegri, and a bunch of other people, but nothing that has looked in any way reliable. So it’s hard to tell what they’re doing.

Personally, I think there is a lack of news on this front because Arsenal already have an agreement with a manager who is currently in charge of another team. Given how this all broke, I would be surprised if they weren’t in advanced talks with a successor when they announced Wengy’s departure. That said, it would be extremely Arsenal to leave the question of who will be managing the team open until late summer and completely wreck the next few seasons.
