Pellegrini's off the market.....signed up for Malaga.
Thats a pity.
In Roy's world Malaga would probably be Liverpool's Spanish equivalent. They have had a similar start to us in the league!
If Pelegrini is off the list how about this guy;

Revista look at what the future holds for the Barca chief
Last updated: 3rd November 2010

Pep Guardiola will leave Barcelona - but not for at least another 12 months.
That was the verdict of Graham Hunter as Revista de la Liga looked at the stories linking the Barcelona boss with a move to England.
The Spanish press have reported that both Chelsea and Manchester United want the man who took the Catalan club to an unprecedented treble in his first season in charge.
With a new president, Sandro Rosell, now in situe at the Camp Nou, and his contract up at the end of the season, doubts have emerged surrounding Guardiola's future.
"I don't think it's coincidence at all that after this second meeting of the season with Sandro Rossell, a new president with whom he has got an empathy, but an edgy developing relationship, that two different papers - one a Madrid paper but with a Catalan, writer the other a Catalan paper - have run storties about Manchester United wanting him, Chelsea wanting him," Hunter told Revista.
But rather than mean the coach is about to walk out on Lionel Messi and co, Hunter believes he is merely strengthening his hand when it does come to negotiating a new deal.
That is likely to be done at the end of the year, but is not likely to be a long-term deal that will tie down a coach who has talked of a three or four-year plan for success - and is now in his third season.
"It's very traditional tactics," said Hunter.
"Pep is a clever man, he is using the power play so when he talks about renewing his contract - he's out of contract at the end of the season but the club obviously want him - when he talks about what players he might buy, what players need to be sold and how he might handle the debts, he needs a powerful hand. I think he's manipulated the media very well indeed.
"Will he stay or not? I'm not entirely clear but I trust in (Andoni) Zubizarreta who, as well as saying this week they are interested in Gareth Bale, says 'we believe we have a long-term coach in Pep Guardiola'.
"At this stage I think that means another 12 months. I think he'll probably stay, not forever, but for the short-term at least."
