He's mates with Gorre. Didn't they once make a pop record together and another player when they were at Ajax? Got to be better than Smile Awhile! Sounds like a new management team then. Gorre as assistant. Sorted.

But is he a good manager? Nobody knows. Including him. But hes a better option than guys who've won things.

So Sky sources are reporting this, but Skybet haven't shortened him from 25/1. Seems a bit of a contradiction. I wouldn't get too excited yet. Would be great though I must say. Also, I've got Sky sports news on now and I can't see any mention of it. Now 12/1' he's going to shorten more the day goes on just on that 'source' alone. The sceptic could say this is clever profiteering from Sky betting department with a simple reference of interest from a credible 'source'.

I can't say he's ever struck me as a manager (and I still think Lennon would do the best job of those mentioned) but if someone with his profile wants the job it's got to be hard to turn them down! Easy to get swept up in the romance of the idea regardless of whether it actually makes sense or not.

The fact that he seems hungry for The Town job is a bit of a game changer. If he was someone that we courted and was half committed then I'd want us to stay well clear. As exciting as he is though, I still think we need a steady pair of hands. Are you suggesting Van Der Sar as number 2?!! If even an ounce of truth in this, if there was he would surely come with requiring his own number 2 -... what sort of contract did we give Thompson (assuming Town would want Eyre to stay). Rolling contract? No idea. But I guess he could have a sideways move if necessary.

go get him dean the media exposure would be brilliant plus kluivert must have some quality contacts for signings Sent from my GT-I9305 using proboards question: do we want media coverage and an cool name or do we want someone with some degree of proven experience to move of out of a difficult time/situation? Catch 22 Townatheart. Has the experience of Van Gall, Guardiola and numerous others to call for advice, plus possible loans. Does this offset his inexperience ? Over to you DH

On his twitter looks like he's in an airport... Could be on his way to Huddersfield for an interview?

Well, hes certainly not the experienced manager we are expecting, but hes certainly got the on-field experience. EDIT* saying that, wasn't he Van Gaals number two at the world cup?
Could go either way that one eg. Rosler or Davids

Patrick Kluivert's agent tells Sky Sports News HQ the Dutchman is interested in Huddersfield job. Came up on the newsfeed on sky sports news about 5 minutes ago. Where can I see this?

Why would it be hard to turn him down? What he did as a player isn't remotely relevant to managing Town in the championship. If Michael Owen ramped up saying how hed like to have a crack at managment to see if hes any good at it, it wouldn't be hard to tell him to bugger off ,and he was more high profile than Kluivert.

They were talking about it just after 12 on SSN. They stated that we wouldn't confirm whether he had applied but also said we didn't deny it. Then it went to an interview with Lillis outside Canalside. Will probably be re run at 1

Top players and assistants don't always make top managers. Yes, Kluivert would be a massive coup and would turn heads around the footballing world but I agree with WTD, can't see it being anything other than a massive disaster for both parties.

There's no guarantee with any manager
Mowbray is just as big a risk as Kluivert

It was on TV on the bar along the bottom, they did discuss town for a few minutes earlier as well saying that Kluivert is interested but there's been no formal approach from the club, and when they spoke to the club there was no comment. Said there was 4-5 candidates and the interview process begins today with the plan being a new manager in place for the Charlton game, they spoke to Lillis afterwards.

Over to you DH big call, and that is why I purposely posted it as a question, can see the plusses and minusess as arigold says in his post it is a conundrum (not sure where he learned such a big word) what a job for Dean = oh sorry Moaner - for Mr Hoyle !

I kind of agree but Owen has no coaching experience, whereas Kluivert has been a coach for a few years including assistant to a legendary manager in the Dutch team for 2 years. The comparison is a but unfair. Massive gamble but it would certainly liven the place up!

You're right of course, but he's definitely a better option than Michael Owen. He's been an assistant to a very well respected manager. A bit like Brendan Rogers or Steve Clarke were with Mourinho. Would Mike Phelan be a good option? Or Steve Bould? No way of knowing but they might be great. Michael Owen would be shite. That's undeniable.

Given LVG's start at United he was clearly the brains behind the Dutch world cup campaign.

He has been the assistant for the Dutch team that finished 3rd in the World Cup though! Lee Clark was the assistant at blooming Norwich when we appointed him and even Nigel Adkins was a physio before becoming a manager.

Glad I'm not the one making this decision. It's a massive one for Dean. My gut instinct tells me that Kluivert could be one hell of a risk. Think I would go for someone with experience of managing in England.
