Of course he does, the's the Chairman of The FA.

Pereira's still interested in staying at Porto and Rangnick denied talks took place. I'd say this is nailed on Martinez. For such an obvious appointment, it's sure dragged on.

Clint Dempsey vs. Germany was pretty good

No idea.. I think that's twitter rumours to be honest. People say he'll be unveiled at 10am on Monday. Bill Kenwright will have arranged for a veil to be thrown over him and he will pull it away in front of the press during the unveiling.

Rangnick has denied he is interested in the job. He says it's newspapers making rumours up. http://www.suedkurier.de/sport/fussball/international/news/Rangnick-dementiert-Wechselgeruechte-zum-FC-nbsp-Everton;art595,6091134

Personally, I think of an acorn. It's the way he has his hair and his round pointed face. Oh I see your referring to his feet.

He was linked again recently, several sources all copied The Sun's story - which I can't find. http://www.sport.es/es/noticias/mercado-de-fichajes/soldado-siguen-saliendo-novias-2390711 It's not very likely in my opinion (expensive wages and transfer fee), but still, it's nice to be linked.

I posted a documentary on the What are you watching thread (http://t.co/jk5ZYw8ooz), it features an interview with Martinez about his football philosophy. It might be worth a watch.

I thought that the Blackburn one went on for too long.. the Shebby interview is painful. He talks nonsense for what feels like half an hour. It's the first time I've looked at him properly, he has a grey moustache and jet black hair. Also what is Blackburn's obsession with hair gel!?

It's because there's more profit to be made with promoting a club from the lower divisions.

Zoo.. there's a doc about Swansea doing the rounds too

Thanks guys. It's much appreciated

I didn't know he was moonlighting as an academy coach. He's just tweeted that his Under 9 team won a competition beating Ajax and Feyenoord. https://twitter.com/PhillipJevons/status/340882963430526976

Neville Southall speaks out: http://utv.vo.llnwd.net/o16/talkSPORT/talkSPORT-20130601-1105.mp3 http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/premier-league/130601/exclusive-%E2%80%93-neville-southall-appointing-roberto-martinez-would-show-ever-1987?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter

That's the reason given to him for being dropped. Not enough first team football. It's such an odd situation, he's one of their best players.

The people in Istanbul are fed up with the Government taking liberties. They've just agreed to build a shopping centre on public park Taksim Gezi Parki. The citizens are not happy, they've began to protest:

Not the best of starts from Sirius XM. An Executive Director called Joe Thomas from Sirius XMFC 94, the station with broadcast rights to the whole of USA reads out a list of honours for each club bar Everton - who are the merely the team Tim Howard US Goalkeeper plays for.

Everton have set a fee of £8m on him. According to this interview, there's a 50% chance of him leaving. http://www.vecernji.hr/sport/vijesti/jelavic-moyes-ce-uspjeti-unitedu-jer-zna-motivirati-clanak-561555

http://www.nu.nl/sport/3488508/heitinga-vindt-nog-vroeg-terugkeer-ajax.html Interview here: His contract is expiring in 2014, he's in two minds to stay 'til it epires. He says it's Everton's choice whether they sell him to cash in as he'll be a free transfer next year He wants to see if the new manager rates him. He doesn't want to extend his contract but he didn't like winning player of the year and then being demoted to the bench the following season. He wants to play for Ajax but feels he's too young to return there. He was close to joining Fenerbahce, Everton had agreed to sell him but Kenwright pulled the plug. He's still open to moving to Turkey.

He possibly would have, his team were just relegated and he didn't want to manage in the Championship (source: Dave Whelan). He wouldn't be out of work for long anyway, there were even rumours of a return Spain.
