The highest level of football in the J-League is League 1 at best.
Who the **** is Mike Newell?
Well... I think 10 out of 12 clubs in the SPL would be very, very relegated from the Championship.

Roy Keane? Can see Barbs calling Tone now
PB: "shit, we've left the hottest name off the list?
TB: "Allardyce"
PB: "No, but that can go second on the list."
"It's Roy Keane. Fits our club ethos and temperament exactly"
TB: "Great, get him on the blower"
If Alan Curbishley is not in the running, it’s not a Premier League management vacancy. Outstanding value at 80/1.

I’ve read both quotes and wouldn’t say that at all. They just both used the standard manager line of focussing 100% on their current jobs.

I dunno he sounds pretty uninterested to me (google translated version)
In an interview with Avisa Nordland, Knutsen is asked if he has heard anything from the English Premier League club.
- Firstly, I have Morten Wivestad as my agent. I have been clear that now I stand with my head in a pressure cooker, and things that are outside Bodø/Glimt I am completely uninterested in. I do not want any inquiries, and I do not answer any telephones. Whether it's +35 or whatever. I don't answer +47 either. I only have 100 per cent focus on Bodø/Glimt, says Knutsen to the newspaper.
Knutsen makes no secret of the fact that people wonder if there is anything new about the job situation. He is clear that the focus is only on Glimt.
- Even people in my immediate circle ask if something is happening. The answer is that I have no answers, because I am only focused on what is here.

They might not be interested, we might not be that interested in them. But I would say those answers are fairly safe and standard answers from managers currently in work.
I agree. the last bit in itself reads more as I know nothing but something may happen rather than I have no interest
FWIW Haise is now odds-on and clear favourite

That's a very verbose version of "no comment".

As ex-Palace chairman (spit) Jordan has commented only unequivocal - I am not interested in xx club’s hotseat and remain committed to xx club’s position for the long term - are acceptable turn downs. Everything else is for their PR.
Dangerous reading anything into an auto-translated interview, but I read that as "I've asked my agent to handle everything while I concentrate on my job". I would expect, in those circumstances, he's given his agent a clear set of guidelines on what sort of offers to then make him aware of, and at what point in negotiations to do that. So we *could* be talking with his agent currently, seeing if something that might be an acceptable deal can be thrashed out, but Knutsen himself likely isn't even aware of it yet.
