Is it unfortunate that Liverpool didn't get to speak to De Zerbi as a candidate?

Much less confusing than the battle for Europe is the two-way battle avoid the final relegation spot.
Nottingham Forest start the day in 17th, three points clear of Luton Town.
More concerning than that for the Hatters is their ranging goal difference. Forest sit on -19, with Luton much further back on -31.
Therefore, if Luton win at home to Fulham and Nottingham Forest last away at already-relegated Burnley, Luton would still require a 12-goal swing in their favour to stay up.

Brighton could finish in the top half of the Premier League for a second straight season tomorrow.
A win at home to Manchester United would guarantee that, while a draw or defeat would need them hoping that Bournemouth fail to better there result away at Chelsea and Crystal Palace fail to win at home to Aston Villa.

Sheff Utd v Tottenham (Sun, 16:00 BST)
BBC Sounds
Former Arsenal and Manchester City left-back Gael Clichy has been discussing Ange Postecoglou's recent analysis that Tottenham's "foundations are really fragile".
Speaking on Planet Premier League, Clichy said: "The reaction of the manager, I think it is the correct one because you can talk about not wanting your rivals to be champions but you can't really tell your players that you don't want your fans to have that feeling of not wanting to win.
"If the feeling within the stadium was even 20% of that, then you have a real problem because they are still a club that is not belonging to elite, top-level football.
"I think this is the first thing [they need to sort] before bringing in top players. This is the thing that you want to change.
"Mikel Arteta arrived at Arsenal and changed everything, without naming names. He came in and said 'I don't want this guy, I don't want this guy and I don't want this guy. I'm not saying they are not good players, I'm not saying they are bad people, but I'm just saying that they are not right for what I want to achieve. Will I be able to achieve those things without them? I don't know but one thing is for sure, me being in charge, I want them out'.
"Then, with time, you change that environment and you change that culture – that is very important.
"I think Tottenham need to be focused on changing that philosophy and that feeling of being a 50-50 club. They have to change that as soon as possible because time goes. You can keep on bringing players of different calibre, but if the environment is not right, you will not perform."

Chelsea v Bournemouth (Sun, 16:00 BST)
Chelsea
Chelsea have the chance to secure European qualification tomorrow, which seemed a long way off after their 4-2 home defeat by Wolves in February.
And boss Mauricio Pochettino has revealed he feared being sacked after that game, with his team having been booed off after a seventh defeat in 14 Premier League games left the Blues 11th in the table.
Asked if he ever believed he was about to be dismissed, Pochettino said: "I think after Wolves. It was a tough moment that defeat at home. In this moment, when you are a coaching staff you feel the loneliness.
"You feel like everyone is seeing you like you're guilty of something that you don't know. We felt the loneliness. We were alone after the game, waiting. I think we spent two hours [in the stadium]. That was the longest time after a game that we were there, looking between us in a very small room.
"We were more sad than thinking we would be sacked. It was an unfair situation. It was a situation we didn't deserve."
Asked whether he could see a way out after the Wolves loss, Pochettino added: "Not really. The problem was the circumstances [with injuries]. They were really, really bad."
So as things stand, whoever finishes in fifth place will advance into the Europa League, while sixth gets Europa Conference League football.
However, should Manchester City beat Manchester United in next week's FA Cup final, that will change, so sixth is entered into the Europa League and seventh reaches the Europa Conference League.
Tottenham should confirm themselves Europa League football are guaranteed to finish in fifth or sixth.
They start the day fifth and three points clear of Chelsea in sixth. However, should they suffered defeat against Sheffield United and Chelsea win at home to Bournemouth, the Blues will overtake their London rivals on goal difference and guarantee themselves Europa League football.
Chelsea need at least a point to guarantee top-six football. Chasing them is Newcastle United, who need to win at Brentford and hope Chelsea lost, which would see the Magpies finish sixth on goal difference.
Manchester United in eighth can go level on points with Chelsea, but their chances of European football rely on them either winning the FA Cup final, or them picking up more points at Brighton than Newcastle do at Brentford.
While the title race is the primary talking point on the Premier League's final day, there is still plenty up for grabs across the division.
In Europe, the final make up of the Europa League and Europa Conference League spots are to be decided.
At the bottom of the table, the final relegation spot is yet to be confirmed, although that feels more of a formality than a battle.
Anyway, let's run through it all with you…
