Jon Dahl Tomasson - Officially No Longer Our Head Coach

[tomphil]

Rather worrying he seems to be linked in the top 5 for every and any job.

Word is obviously out that he's available should someone offer something.

JDT currently 5th favourite for the Celtic job (10/1). Nice to have our manager actually doing a job that means he gets linked with other clubs for a change. 

Only Maresca, Rodgers, Knudsen and Moyes shorter in the betting.

I can't see them going for JDT with some of the other names on the list.

Mowbray and Allardyce at 100/1.

All the links kinda make me think him or his agent are putting his name out there.

Changed his agent in the new year, didn't he?

Hoping that it's all leverage for when he stands in front of Mrs D, cap in hand.

[Upside Down]

JDT doesn't strike me as the kind of person to go cap in hand to anyone, let alone the repulsive creatures that are venkys.

I have never known anyone who doesn't defer to their bosses.

Football isn’t a normal industry, the money and profile higher level players and managers have gives them power.

JDT had walked before and his agent already seems busy, so I doubt he’ll be showing undue homage at the Pune Palace.

I'd be more worried if he was not linked to vacant jobs.

When is the trip to India taking place? Or will it be cancelled like so many others in the past? 

[tomphil]

Someone has already put it about that JDT allegedly won't go.

From Italy: Radrizzani had wanted manager for Leeds United, and now Sampdoria could get him - Sport Witness

There seems to be an awful lot of interest in someone whose supposed to have gone ‘under the radar’.

[ben_the_beast]

PSV was the one where it felt like a sure thing he'd go. 

If Leicester are genuinely interested I think he's gone. 

Sampdoria and playing in Serie B. That would be a mad move. Feel Leeds fall into the same category but would obviously have a greater appeal. 

Celtic I think would be 50/50. 

At the end of the day though, we don't know how many of the clubs have genuine interest. He's an easy name to link to any club at the moment, so half of these could just be click bait. I'm 70% certain he'll still be with us at the start of the season. 

The biggest worry I have is that we want to progress. If we start the season with a bang, some of this tepid interest will turn into something more tangible once the managerial merry-go-round begins. 

[simongarnerisgod]

i think he`ll see out his contract here and then move on to the next "project"probably in germany or holland

[Norbert Rassragr]

I think Sampdoria are also an absolute basket case club right now. Possibly dodgy owners or something.

I think it's safe to say that JDT's (new) agent has been very busy hawking his name around to all and sundry,

I have read the full article and he is one of many names mentioned. I read yesterday that Leicester wanted Gerrard as their next manager. Plenty of names mention like Dean Smith, Steven Gerrard, Patrick Vieira, Adi Hutter, Scott Parker, JDT, Ralph Hasenhuttl, Ole Gunnar Solksjaer, Daniel Farke and Rafa Benitez.

When is the trip from India to Lancashire taking place is more the question for me.

It would appear that way.

Perhaps GB should have a word with JDT to see if he intends to hang around.

It would be interesting to know whether or not JDT is on the trip to Pune.

That was , reportedly, the original plan.

Wether he goes to Pune or not will be very revealing.

Supposedly in the 21/22 season.

I think Feyenoord was what the poster meant, but not to worry, as both Feyenoord and PSV Eindhoven have sorted out managers, now.

I think it's down to Leicester City and Leeds United, and whether either would be interested in Tomasson. The former has been rejected by Potter, so they're going to be looking elsewhere, and it looks like the latter are on the verge of sorting out ownership, so you'd expect them to be targetting who they want, too.

Hopefully, neither of them are looking this way. I'm more worried about whether Tomasson is actually going to India to meet the owners or not. If he doesn't go, I think that might be the first indicator of how he feels about being here.

[simongarnerisgod]

gerrard apparently interested in the leicester job,hav`nt got a clue about the leeds position,they`ve just been taken over and it could be anyone

I think either Parker or Farke will get the Leeds job and either Gerrard or Smith for Leicester. 

Maybe JDT and GB have already been to India this week.
