Rumours that Southgate is in Athens at the moment and that Benitez is now on a retainer not to take any other job, while EM sorts the mess out.

Not sure I believe either to be honest

Benitez til the end of the season I could live with. We'd be tactically well setup. Think that's all I want to see after this tbh.

Rumours from where? I can't imagine Southgate wanting to work with someone as volatile as Marinakis.

It's because Marinakis sat next to Benitez at the Arsenal - Olympiakos match.

Benitez was there working as a UEFA observer.

Yes, that was my first thought

Benitez was there working as a UEFA observer.

And Soutgate was in Athens in OCT 2024.

He gave a speech at the European Club Association General Assembly.

He has not been back since.

If the options are Rafa and Southgate, I'd prefer Ange.

Rafa would be the worst option, his managerial career has been over for a long time. His recent roles have all gone terribly and was sacked pretty quickly.

Southgate and Marinakis doesn't seem like an obvious match...

Agreed, too many people are saying anyone but Ange will do, be very careful what you wish for.

No chance Southgate fits here.

[Marinakis Red]

Is it highly likely change will happen in this international break Sniff? So many differing claims from the usual media outlets.

Talk sport are apparently saying its imminent, just a case of when

As in being sacked?

That applies to EM too.

There is interest in buying the club.
