Aye, but it'll almost certainly be leaked by the victors.

A bit worried he's a flash in Japan.

The problem is, if Real come knocking in the future, he'll be off in a flash.

Good signing by all accounts.

Does it though? Or is it just a load of blokes who were completely unaware he'd signed a new contract repeating he's open to it without any kind of substance, while trying to point to apparent uncertainty at the club? He's currently with almost all of the club executives in Germany, you can absolutely guarantee it'll have been discussed and the club will be aware if he's committed or would want to talk to the FA.

Whoever said he is a contrarian is spot on. He's usually overly positive or overly negative, depending on the mood of the fanbase and what will illicit the most engagement.

I do find it amusing that absolutely no one had a clue that he'd signed a contract extension, but they're aware he's open to the England job.

It looks like he's just ripped a cracking "yer ma" joke about Mrs Reuben.

He looks on edge.

To play devil's advocate, he could go to England, struggle and he might not be able to land himself another top eight top flight gig again.

You'd imagine Howe will have communicated his intentions by then.

I'd imagine the PR will be handled in a way to ensure the door isn't closed going forward.

It doesn't seem like we're in any rush mind, should make for a busy end to the window for incomings and outgoings.

A few suggests he might use this to leverage a new contract.

I don't there's a "strong possibility" at all, there's a a chance, but it feels petty remote at this stage.

While I'm confident he'll stay, it'd be nice if we could shut this down early doors to stop the constant speculation.

Mad that it was ever thought carpets in pubs would be a good idea.

Now that the European Cup is over it feels like the club have a duty to us to ramp things up today.

We al know they will be.
