I'm interested to see where Klopp ends up. Haven't seen him linked with anything yet. 

Club level can only really see him at Bayern, Barca or Real. 

Could England ask the question after the euros. 

Imagine how we'd set up with him in charge with the attacking players at his disposal.

He's the perfect man for England. 

 

I assume on some level you were looking for bites but I genuinely wouldn't mind him or Mourinho.
 

There's an interesting stat though, that no National Team Manager that is foreign to the Nation he's managing has ever won a World Cup or Euros.

Aye, quad winners should definitely be considered. Oh, hang on a minute..........

Thought you wanted the bint from Chelsea? Put the rod away laddie.

FWIW, I'd have either of those over Wokegate.

A shame for KN, I doubt he had much choice once Moyes was leaving.
I suspect the pair will be back in work together fairly soon.

Bolton Wanderers manager Ian Evatt is on the radar of Birmingham City, but it is unclear whether he will get interviewed, according to journalist Alan Nixon.

Birmingham have been relegated from the Championship and are now preparing for life in League One next season.

Tony Mowbray will not be returning as their manager due to health reasons and the club are now in the market for a new manager.

Birmingham are set to interview Alex Neil and Paul Heckingbottom as part of the process of searching for their new manager.

It has been claimed that Bolton boss Evatt is a name Birmingham are considering as well.

The 42-year-old has impressed at Bolton and got them to the cusp of promotion to the Championship this season.

Evatt’s Bolton side lost the playoff final to Oxford United.

His name is being discussed inside Birmingham but it is unclear whether he will get a chance to interview for the manager’s role at St. Andrew’s in the coming days and weeks.

He makes loads of these rumours and hopes he  gets 1 right I take was he says with a pinch of salt.

Journalist? He's not even at the same level as our esteemed thumb-headed news nonce.

[jmjhb]

That move would be more sideways than most of our passing

I hope they get Higginbotham rather than Neil

Doesn't make much sense that. On the radar but may not get interviewed ...

A bit like when Pele confirmed he had heard of Bolton.

Hopefully the club will see the reaction on the socials and rethink. Director of Football Dewsnip is ex Everton and seems to put that as #1 criteria on appointment

Isn’t it time IE came out and told us what he’s doing? I accept he was gutted how things went as we all were but by now he’s either fired up to put it right or accepts he won’t change and needs away. Just hiding away indicates to me a weak mind for such a “big” guy.

Taking time to think is not hiding away. Surely it's doing the right thing. Many people on here are clearly still emotional about last weekend so fair to assume he might be too. Never the best way to make decisions. I also think some off the cuff comments he's made have been massively misinterpreted by a lot of people. 

Worth bearing in mind this week will have been a 'normal' working week saying goodbye to loan players, out of contract players, end of season fitness tests etc. As it is half term next week and he has kids, I'd imagine he'll be off somewhere on holiday.

So, you're likely to have to wait at least another week for any news. 

I expect him to be Bolton manager come August. His biggest decision will be whether to double down on his footballing philosophy or make changes to it. Either way, he'll know there's a risk and next season he will face pressure.
