I asked if anyone that had a rant last night about appointing gattuso because he was a racist, misogynistic homophobic clam prepared to apologise to Levy when it turns out not to be the case.
You deflected by replying about the length of time it's taking to appoint a manager.
Guilty of one does not mean guilty of all.

who we bringing in today?

Quite. At best the next man is our 6th choice after:
- Nagelsman
- Poch
- Conte
- Fonseca
- Gattuso
...and if you believe the Lopetegui rumours, Ten Hag (did we want him but were told where to go or not?) and Rodgers (did Levy want him but know there was zero chance?), the next man could be as low as our 9th choice.
So between 6th and 9th, possibly lower as there might be names which I've missed out, but either way when we approach the next person he's hardly going to feel like we really want him!

Why is Kilpatrick, a source "close to the club" reporting what ornstien is saying?
Why isn't he reporting what the club are saying?
Ah, because the club are saying nothing and reporters don't get paid for saying nothing!
How silly of me.

Steve Bruce is trending, I dare not click the link
More likely that we were never going for him and that most publications prefer fabrication to empty space.

Maybe Fonseca became interested in the Fiorentina vacancy when Gattuso resigned.

I still think Lopetegui could be an option if we went in hard for him. Wasn't the reported issue that his extended family wouldn't be able to get work permits to move over here? Just give them use of the club private jet once a fortnight or something.
No idea. But in a couple weeks managers will be starting to go back for pre-season, which will make it even harder to prise them away given their current clubs will have to scramble around for a replacement and have their season's preparations disrupted...
...which means we need to get someone asap, or rely on international manangers...but those might only become available mid-July
I think he would be an awesome choice. But who would he be worried about not getting a work permit? His wife? His grown up children? Is it work permits or indefinite leave to stay thats the problem?
Another "benefit" of Brexit I guess.

I saw the one about him being against gay marriage in a church in 2008 and even if I disagree with it he is/was perfectly entitled to have that view imo.
Surprised that Scaramanga thinks that people were not entitled to that view in 2008. Many people associated marriage with procreation, and while not anti-gay, thought back then that marriage should be preserved for men and women who wanted the stability of marriage as the right environment for a creating a family. But people's views change over time.
Whether Gattuso is a racist homophobe etc etc is a mere side show. I hope and pray that a twitter storm had nothing to do with whether we did or did not offer him the job...would hardly enhance Levy's confidence in the DOF and it is crucial that that relationship flourishes. Let's hope this sorry saga is resolved soon: dumping Fonsecca "at the altar" seems downright bizarre.

Is there any proof that we've spoken to any of the names you've mentioned here?

I ask again. How do you prove whether something is true or false? There is no way of doing so unless you happen to be Levy, Paratici or one of the umpteen managers that we (may) have spoken to about our vacant position.

I think the top 5 is pretty indisputable; the others are questionable, hence how I positioned it

Ah sorry I see. I don't think I'd had a rant about Levy appointing Gattuso so I wasn't answering for that particular point. Sorry.
At present my perception is that Levy is doing a terrible job in appointing us a new manager, despite having sacked Jose well before the end of the season so having had plenty of time for one to be appointed. If Levy brings in a good manager and backs him with signings (reasonably early on in the window) then I'll happily 'apologise' to Levy, though I'm pretty sure that Daniel Levy doesn't actually read glory-glory so the apology would fall on empty ears anyway (just as the expressions of dissatisfaction also do).

+ Flick makes it 10th.
Based on the level of comment from people close enough to the club, manager or their current club. Clearly there's not going to be any 'proof' that we did or where things got to in conversations which did happen
Feel free to think that we haven't spoken to any of them, or any manager at all if you wish though and that the club are a zen-like moment of calm and are going to spring into action and speak to their first manager candidate soon though
