The early runners and riders are taking shape in the media.

Rodgers is a bit of a punt, we'd also have to put up with chants of Scouse reject.
Stalwarts like Benitez and Ancelotti could only really be regarded as transitional at this stage of their careers.

Allegri will probably stay at Juve. A move to our place just doesn't really scan.

Not much of a mention at the head of the pack for thon Portuguese chap working miracles down at Monaco ?
