    Leicester appear to haved learned a valuable lesson from letting van Nistelrooy drag on as theoretical manager until late June last year by doing exactly the same thing this year - Rowett is technically manager but out of contract this summer and they don't want to cost themselves a few thousand by appointing someone early.

    Russell Martin is the favourite.

    He'll be top 10 by September.

    Linked with Al Hilal, so maybe not.

    I duppose it's a lifestyle choice thing, but it would seem he's got quite the opportunity right now. I reckon he'll stay, but I was wrong when I thought Nuno would get over himself last year.

    He has been desperate to get into the premier league for years, I’d guess this link is just a negotiating tactic.

    Sounds like McKenna is going to Fulham, there's an £8M release clause. Not sure I'd be doing that if I was Fulham, he's clearly good at getting Ipswich promoted but his Premier League performance last time wasn't spectacular.

    I'm very much in favour of Fulham doing that. It might serve our interests.

    P.S. Managers don't run around the pitch and win football games. I'm just not sure his experience and knowledge aligns to what to do and when at the level, without a continuing development of his experience. Which might cost a team results and time in the short term at least.

    Agreed - should make Fulham worse than last season and Ipswich worse than they would otherwise have been.

    There's something of the Steve Cooper about McKenna. I thought SC was destined for really big things after Forest but he made a poor decision about a job down the A46 which has set him back.

    McKenna might be the real deal, but he also has very limited experience at the level. Three promotions in four seasons at Ipswich is pretty incredible. Still, as others have pointed out, it would represent a gamble on Fulham's part and obviously destabilises Ipswich.

    Hard to see how both are not unhelpful for Forest.

    To spend more time with his family.

    ....wont be entirely surprised if in a week or two its "my family are a bunch of cunts, I'm off to Fulham". Doesn't compute that he would want to be out of a job at this point in his career.

    Something of some sort has happened...lack of support at 'swidge likely a part and him not wanting to secure a firm reputation for relegation.

    I sae that earlier and thought it must be made up news for clicks, checked around and it's true.

    Thought the whole appointment was for the upcoming Championship season.

    Telegraph article I read seems to hint heavily at Mendes being at centre of it all.

    Looks like Fulham are appointing Arvelo Arbeloa. Apparently managed Real Madrid in the second half of last season.
