Hi, HSV fan here. We have a bit of the same problem as you—it's very quiet around our new appointment. Ruud has actually been ruled out as unrealistic by some German media, mainly due to Leicester's interest (which makes sense; we were once a big club, but we just can't quite manage to get out of the second division anymore).
What's interesting, though, is that Ruud had a meeting with our management last winter but wasn’t available in the spring when Walter was fired (who, by the way, is doing great at Hull right now—irony off).
Now, an insider wrote this morning that our sporting director, Costa, is flying to London today to meet Ruud. That would fit with the silence around Leicester. However, I find it strange that Ruud would be in London and not Manchester. The insider has had a mixed track record so far. He later deleted his post and apologized for sharing such internal information.
Let’s see—things are definitely getting interesting. Best of luck to you! (Leicester, along with Aston Villa—where I once attended a match—is my favorite PL club, so I hadn’t expected that both clubs would ever compete for the same manager ;)).
