Don't shoot me down and I can't give sources because last time I got in a whole pile of dog poo BUT I can promise you that don't trust bookies on this situation. They know nothing of this and they are abusing the situation by constantly changing favourites to get more bets, nobody outside the club knows anything. I can say that we will not be hiring anyone who is currently employed by the club, however negotiations with all the staff are ongoing to make sure they stay, this was Moyes recommendation to the board. The assistant might change but that's it everything else stays the same, some of the staff want to move on to get higher placed jobs eg Stubbs could move from reserves to assistant at other clubs.
The new manager is coming from a current short list of one and he has essentially already agreed terms, the delay is purely down to the club getting the backing of the staff and the new man will meet them next week. It's not from the prem and its not domestic.
Eds I think I have been fairly non committal with this one but if it needs to be taken down like the one I put up a few weeks ago then please be on guard to remove.

It's exciting bluenoses and we have cash, I mean real cash for the transfer market. Expect a new manager with two marquee signings closely followed by mid June.

Svenny {Ed013's Note - I mentioned a few days who I think it is, but other than giving hints I cant say, it isn't 100% either}

Get in! I was about to write this of as BS but I have been on this site a long time now and I know who the reliable posters are, cheers Svenny mate. Obviously I have no club inside information but I've just read that Perriera was in London yesterday for talks with a "top 10 EPL club" I reckon its us as BK conducts his business there. I posted saying I thought it might be a couple more weeks before we get in a manager but fingers crossed this is true.

What a lot of waffle from ya both. I know who it is but I can't say, so i'm right. ha you couple of plonkers, anyone can play that game, so when its announced ya say, "thats who I wanted to tell you but couldn't at the time". pffffffffffffff

3.) 21 May 2013
I bloody hope that's true Svenny!

I also heard the same thing regarding the backroom staff being kept in place with Neville or stubbs as number two they don't want the new manager making wholesale changes and want continuity on moyes recommendation.

5.) 21 May 2013
Give me some hints Ed, I have nt see who you think it is

Taysefc {Ed013's Note - I got a tip off last week that the squad have been told it is one of them, although I didn't believe it at first, it does make sense. Cheap option, nothing to lose and knows the club inside out. Who knows, he could get his brother down to coach!!! In January I thought it would be Martinez, but not so sure any more}

Lads come on stop with the teasing give a little bit more info Svenny I missed your last post mate and I hope this is not a wind up ed 13 are you an Everton fan just curiosStef the blue {Ed013's Note - I have a lot of respect for Everton mate, but not a supporter}

7.) 21 May 2013
Sorry ed. I missed who you said it was a couple of days ago. who did you say it is. cheers {Ed013's Note - One of your team mate, I was tipped off by a contact, but was also told it would be announced this week, the clock is ticking! I put a bet on it so it probably won't happen now!}

Moyes should shut up and the new man be allowed to manage!

11.) 21 May 2013
I can't say anything in terms of sources because I got in genuine trouble last time I did, I will write a completely seperate post tomorrow guessing who I believe the manager and the signings will be because I now know what I legally can and can't say but I have it from high places within the club that the decision has been made, the only delay is making sure that the back room staff will work with the new manager as he is happy to work with them.
Our books will show a profit for this season which with the fair play restrictions put us in a position to splash the extra tv cash unlike a lot of other clubs in and around us.
We will be pleasantly surprised by the summer and the ambition shown, whether it results in a positive in terms of achievements is obviously unknown but 3 things I can say are he is not a domestically based manager, he has agreed in principle with a budget to spend and Felli and Baines are going nowhere.

So Neville then? I bloody hope not, not yet anyway can't think of any other members of the squad it could be.

Also for those saying missed my last post, I post all the time with my opinions but a month back I posted about Moyes future and the selling situation of the club giving a bit too much info on my sources from within the club, within 12 hours I was threatened with legal action by said people and had to remove the post. I have no real emotional ties to my sources and have a huge emotional tie to my club and the fans are the club so I will continue to pass on info when I get it but I learnt lessons and can't name and shame like I did. Put it this way though I said Moyes was gone a month before he went, and he had told the club so. Not Utd based just that he was going

Maybe one of the signings is Rooney Stef the blue

15.) 21 May 2013
Yes I seem to remember Ed013 you said something along the lines ' how would you feel if it were one of the backroom staff' in response to a question. I thought it was a hint at the time. {Ed013's Note - Its a good possibility mate}

This is getting to be a like an episode of Twin Peaks. (Wavertree Blue)

17.) 21 May 2013
It is solksjaer with p nev as his assistant

18.) 21 May 2013
So Svenny you know that there is a manager in place but you don't know who?

19.) 21 May 2013
So, speaking in hypothetical terms, if Pip/Weir/Stubbs/Dunc/Sheedy aren't keen on the idea or refuse to work with the proposed new manager, does this mean BK will not appoint said manager and we will not be signing 2 'marquee' signings (I'm thinking Moutinho and maybe Atsu, as examples)?
I know it has to be vague and you can't name sources as per your explanation, Svenny but, in that scenario, would the spotlight be focused on an alternative.

20.) 21 May 2013
How much will we have to spend Svenny?

21.) 21 May 2013
'Could bring his brother to coach'.
Hmmm. De Boer?!?

22.) 21 May 2013
What you mean ed one of my team {Ed013's Note - meaning, someone that is currently a squad member}

23.) 22 May 2013
To one of the posters above: I think Svenny knows who the new manager is but is not allowed to say for the reasons he's given.
