Fulham are making a determined bid to snatch Martin O'Neill from under the noses of Newcastle United and England.
For The Chronicle can reveal that the Irishman has watched Fulham play on three occasions recently and there is talk that Craven Cottage supremo Fayed Mohammed would love him as his manger.
It's no secret that current boss Chris Coleman has found himself under pressure at Fulham after a disappointing season and they could become the first team this season to lose at Sunderland on Saturday.
A source in West London told me today: "Everyone spotted Martin O'Neill in the stands at Craven Cottage for Saturday's game with Portsmouth, but he has also been to a couple of other Fulham games lately and it is the talk of the place."
The Chronicle revealed yesterday that Steve McClaren now in pole position for the England manager's job, and since then the Middlesbrough boss has been installed as favourite.
However, while I detect a bit of paranoia coming into the issue of selecting the England boss, I hear O'Neill is still second favourite.
When the Chronicle ran a poll in February as to who should replace Graeme Souness at St James' Park, O'Neill came out top.
But if he is the man Freddy Shepherd wants, the United chairman could be excused if he gave O'Neill a deadline to make his mind up - sooner rather than later.
Shepherd said at the weekend he expected to have a new manager installed before the last game of the season against Chelsea at St James' Park on May 7.
All England are saying is that they will appoint Sven- Goran Eriksson's successor "before the World Cup."
Shepherd is quite rightly not being rushed into what he knows is one of the most important decisions he will have to make.
Meanwhile, United caretaker boss Glenn Roeder will be at The Riverside tonight to watch Sunday's opponents Middlesbrough play their UEFA Cup quarter-final second leg with Basel.
