Id have thought that Raniri and Villa would be a more likely fit next season. Id be happy if we could get him though. Lots of big clubs seem to think he is good else they wouldnt  keep appointing him.

There are some doubts, like his ability to work on a budget, and whether we are just looking at his past jobs list and getting excited (in the last ten years, he hasnt done much with any of the teams he has been at, certainly not winning much anyway). He has lots of experience though and getting him would be a big coup, especially when you consider his last few clubs have included Juve, Inter, Roma and Valencia.

Was there more to it than that?

You cant take anything from that interview. Not sure if there was more than that but it seems he wasnt giving anything away. Could just be Ranieri being respectful as ever. He isnt the sort of bloke to say "Me to West Brom? Your having a laugh arent you".

Seem to recall he had an incredible run with Roma during his time there recently.

Yeah mate, there was more to it. After the bookie talked about the odds, Kelly Dalglish asked him if 2:1 was a good price and worth a bet, he said, "yes it's a good price" with a cheeky grin on his face!

Local media seem to believe his agent has been in the touch with the club to express an interest so there may be some truth in it.

Claudio Ranieri at the Albion? Never in my wildest dreams would I have expected something like that. I thought Roy Hodgson was massive coup for us but certainly Ranieri would be even bigger, in my opinion.

I do have some doubts, but I'd be willing to look into him. He obviously has something about him if these big clubs continue to appoint him. Would appointing Ranieri put our name about across Europe? You'd certainly like to think so. Especially considering Roy Hodgson is about to take charge of England and our ex head coach is in the champions league final.

Check Chris Lepkowski's time-line. He mentioned it earlier today. Can't remember when as all I've done today is sit on the sofa and tweet. (@MikeReed30)

In fact it's his most recent tweet.

Cheers for that.

I would follow you but I'm not on the twitter stage just yet. I will do eventually.

I'm delighted that Ranieri's agent has "pitched" for it though.

1988–1999 Cagliari
1991–1993 Napoli
1993–1997 Fiorentina
1997–1999 Valencia
1999–2000 Atlético Madrid - Resigned before he was sacked
2000–2004 Chelsea - spent a fortune but couldnt win the title
2004–2005 Valencia - sacked
2007 Parma - left after a short stay
2007–2009 Juventus - sacked

I remember his sacking at Chelsea came across harsh. Wasn't it Abramovich's first season bank rolling the club?

Whether they were Ranieri signing or not i wouldn't expect a team who bought the likes of Geremi, Wright-Phillips and Duff to win the title.

to be far he looks like he spends about 2 season at each club. How long have Mowbray, RDM, Hodgson spent here? Nature of the game now.

He was at Chelsea before Abrahamovic came in, got them to 6th in his first season and I think maybe FA Cup final not sure. Signed Lampard for them and first season Abrahmovic took over he got them to 2nd behind Arsenal in their unbeaten season and also to semis of the Champions League.

Be a major coup if it does happen even if it is only short term until a bigger job comes up.

Most his careers been in Italy, they sack managers constantly over there, often for the slightest dips in form. This season in Serie A alone there's been 17 sacked and 2 mutual consents.

Im not too worried about his record of not staying too long at clubs just look at the current premier league managers and there average time at each club they have managed.

Arsenal - Arsene Wenger (Avg time in each job 7 years)
Aston Villa - Alex McLeish (Avg time in each job 3 years)
Blackburn - Steve Kean (2 years)
Bolton - Owen Coyle ( 2 years 4 months)
Chelsea - RDM (1 year 4 months)
Everton - Moyes (7 years)
Fulham - Jol (3 years)
Liverpool Dalgliesh (2 years 7 months)
Man City Mancini (3 years)
Man United- Fergie (9 years 6 months)
Newcastle - Pardew (2 years 5 months)
Norwich - Lambert (1 year 4 months)
QPR - Hughes (2 years 4 months)
Stoke - Pulis (3 years 4 months)
Sunderland - MON (3 years 8 months)
Swansea - Rodgers (1 year 4 months)
Tottenham - Arry (4 years 10 months)
West Brom - Royston (1 year 11 months)
Wigan - Martinez (2 years 6 months)
Wolves - Mad Mick (5 years)

Now if you look at some of our supposed targets

Ranieri (2 years)
Hughton (1 year 6 months)

Both fit into that bracket that most of the managers at Premier League level. I dont worry about time at clubs to be honest but more of the calibre and success they have had in jobs.

As others have said Claudio has managed most his career in a country where its common to change managers like the wind and he still averages 2 years at each club thats a very good record indeed

Article in the Mail
     Claudio Ranieri on the train to Birmingham discusing the strengths and weaknesses of the Albion squad, probably a load of rowlocks but it's out there.

REALLY??  :o

Well I never  ;D

Where have you been for the last 36 hours?  ;)

Anyway, I think it would be a real coup but can't help but thinking Ranieri is flirting with us the way Hargreaves did last summer.

Sorry I have just got back from Denmark, I read the article on the plane and thought I was being quite original. Alway the last one at the party.
