So only info I have been given on this was weeks ago and I was told a Dutch manager was in the final 5 but not RVN. Plus Parker, Lampard, Bellamy and one other foreign unnamed manager. Not claiming to be another itk, this board has far too many of them Just what I’d heard.

CT has just said his plan was RVN so that makes my info duff, but if RVN prefers a coaching role at United over us then so be it. I’d only want someone fully committed, not someone who was going to be so attracted to (lesser) roles at bigger clubs.

See there is this kind of speculating which is basically saying what you have heard rather than being like other posters with cryptic posts as if it’s a coat of armour to have some inside scope.

Abit like when the members of the FAB loved to let fans know they have already seen next seasons kits

[willsclarets]

It doesn't particularly bother me if people want to make crap up. But I do think it's a pretty weird thing to do. If you're self-confidence is so low you need to pretend you know something you don't for approval, you probably need to read a self help book.

At least they aren't hoax calling the fire brigade or something.

I think some of what you heard about a Dutchman but not RVN is likely to be good info. But it seems Pace then went down the RVN route. I totally agree with you, we want someone who is committed.

It’s always been my aspiration to be on FAB now you mention it.

Dare to dream.

If this thread drags on for a further 6 weeks quite a few people will end up being Committed.

Remco van der Schaaf has unfinished business at Burnley and is looking into management

[helmclaret]

Marco Gentile has been spotted at Crow Wood with his advisers.

[Boss Hogg]

If RVN has gone for a coaching job above a manager job he would have jumped at the first opportunity. Not what we need. Not really sure he offered that much as a manager but was just a profile. Hopefully Pace knows what he is doing but I have this picture of him running around like a headless chicken and flying here there and everywhere listening to loads of BS from possible applicants.

I think we might have dodged a bullet with RVN, he would have been very much RVN FC and not BFC.
My worry is Pace might have gone all his eggs in one basket, so who does that leave us with.?

Didn't he play for Norwich a few years back and turn out to be utterly useless? (I might be wrong as I've slept since then! )

Mark Van Bommel has recently left Antwerp, will know a lot of our players from his time in the Belgium league, would also fit in with the ex player name.

Not sure if his ambitions would be to manage in the championship first but I’m sure someone can start a rumour on it

Erik Ten Hag it is then, that's why Ruud has gone to United

[equinox]

Humpty Dumpty

Can't see Humpty leaving Plymouth so soon, apparently he's just moved into accommodation in the Plymouth area.

[dougcollins]

Surely if Ten Hag is subsequently potted then Van Nistelrooy goes down with him?

Oh well, not our problem.

[ayrshireclaret83]

Giovanni Van Bronckhorst gone to Besiktas

So he has

For me the 'committed' thing is tricky. By committed do we mean unlikely to get their heads turned by a perceived bigger job? Because in some ways if we are going to get someone who goes on to be successful for us, they equally are likely to be offered roles that a truly ambitious manager would be unlikely to turn down.

I'd almost look for a manager who is absolutely committed to being a successful top level manager, and have a structure where we benefit from that, but equally are prepared to replace when ultimately their achievements with us see the big boys calling.

[rob63]

Can they not choose a manager with a name that's easier to spell? Ruud van Nistelrooy could cause havoc on here.

Yes, but have you seen his full name......with the Dutch spelling?

[ClaretTony]

Yes, but have you seen his full name......with the Dutch spelling?

Rutgerus Johannes Martinus van Nistelrooij

[Darthlaw]

A big name, experience of English football and dutch? Jan Vennegoor of Hesselink?

This article saying Parker and Bellamy still in contention but suntan said the manager we have and want is employed so take this article with a massive pinch of salt because it’s obvious reporters are chancing their arm

[Claret Toni]

A couple of names I've not seen mentioned:

Max Verstappen, Dutch, proven winner, perhaps looking for a new challenge, big name. Unlikely to be able to afford his wages.

Steve Clarke, Not Dutch, mixed results, limited European experience, may well be looking for a new position shortly and we'll need to watch out for other potential suiters like St. Mirren.

Over to you AP.

[HahaYeah]

From 3 hours ago :

Fabrizio Romano "Van Nistelrooy - keeping options open".

'What I'm hearing is that Ruud van Nistelrooy is very tempted by this possibility to go back to Manchester United.

“He’s still keeping his options open, but in the last 24-48 hours, van Nistelrooy is really tempted to make this new experience as an assistant coach. So I think there’s a very good possibility.

“I think it could also not be the only addition to the Manchester United staff because there is the intention to change something.”

After confirming Ten Hag will stay as manager for next season, United now look to undergo changes within the backroom staff with the pursuit of van Nistelrooy.'

I wonder if RVN is waiting on the OK from Burnley, and Man U assistant is his back up option.

Happy to put my hat into the bucket at this point - not sure how other posters would feel about it though

[kentonclaret]

Alan Pace seems to have got himself involved in a game of Pass the Dutchy.

He’s boarded a plane and is trying to convince Mislav Orsic to join us as manager.

Henry or Fabregas?

I assume employed by a club/country, and not working as a pundit

If so then Tudor, Lampard and a few others.....

[Rumpelstiltskin]

Clitheroe manager looking for a new challenge.

England could do with him too if he’s on the Left hand side

[123EasyasBFC]

I don’t believe the whole our new man is currently in employment but if he was there’s more than Henry and fabregas

[kentonclaret]

Hard to believe Lampard is still under consideration with his odds having drifted from one time odds on favourite to a current price of 33/1.
