ed 2 do you expect joel matip to announce on Friday he has agreed to join lfc? also not lfc related but do you have any info as to where pelligrini will end up next year? thanks for your time.
{Ed002's Note - I don't expect any announcement from Joel Matip on Friday KK. There is no information on where Pellegrini will move to next season but I suspect he might well end up at a club that still has a contracted manager such as Atletico Madrid if Simeone were to leave or perhaps as one of the three to be considered by Juventus if Allegri were to leave.}

thanks for the reply ed.

Hi Ed's
How about Rafa Benitez? Will he come back to PL?
Any club looking at him?
On a different note when I asked if Ed's had any updates on Rafa's next destination, I was told to go to Real Madrid page but however above I see open discussion about Simone, Pellegrini and Allegri.
{Ed001's Note - he is not coming to Liverpool but he wants an English club. He did have talks with Valencia but is not going there either.}
11 Feb 2016 05:23:33
Strange. I would think Valencia is perfect for him after the poor start by Neville.
{Ed001's Note - with Peter Lim in charge using it as a clearing house for Jorge Mendes players? No one in their right mind with more than two brain cells to rub together is going to take it. Why on earth do you think Neville got the job in the first place?}
11 Feb 2016 05:27:30
any English club ed or has he one in mind. arsenal perhaps?
{Ed001's Note - there is nothing brewing right now for him, the sporting director of Valencia tried to get him to agree a deal but he turned it down, but there has been no Prem approach, yet anyway.}

Thanks Ed1.
Yes, it was a real shock seeing Gary Neville getting a manager job without any exp or knowledge of local language.
{Ed001's Note - he only got it as he is Peter Lim's mate and no one else wants it, otherwise he would be gone by now.}
11 Feb 2016 10:37:58
Aye Ed is right, the Salford City connections.
11 Feb 2016 11:09:23
Benitez for Chelsea.
11 Feb 2016 15:20:25
So, anyway. About Matip. He's rejected Schalke's contract offer. But they're still in de nile. Are there other clubs interested in signing him Eds or is Anfield his likely destination?
Huh? Benitez for Chelsea? No chance.
I could see him somewhere like Everton or Southampton, if either of them end up without a manager. Or, seeing as there's likely to be a managerial merry-go-round this year. Perhaps as the next Watford or Leicester boss?
11 Feb 2016 17:11:06
they say never rule anything out, but if rafa became everton manager it would be a bigger shock to me than Leicester winning the title.
12 Feb 2016 12:36:45
De nile is nowhere near Schalke. its in Egypt.
