Thanks for the reply, but who is Red Hadron Collider and what makes him ITK with all things EFC, as his name implies he is a Liverpool supporter.

He is ITK with all things in Liverpool. Seems to have contacts for both clubs, rarely get's things wrong tbh.

Jesus. One tweet and people start acting as if he has left! Calm the **** down people. Ignore bookies odds as they a response from bets rather than information being obtained.

True. But if odds plummet it's often because something's leaked...

Although I admire your optimism.
 
I feel sorry for Fran in all of this. She's flown off to Newcastle and if she looks at the website this evening there's seven new pages.

By the time she gets back there'll be even more pages and she'll wonder if he's signed judging by that. Nope, not yet, sorry Fran. <laugh>
 
What I can't grasp is that for two years Koeman has given countless interviews in which he has been brutally honest, and most/all Saints fans see him as being an extremely honourable man and we expect him to at least honour the last year of his current contract.
If, as you claim, his agent has met, today, with EFC officials, you are effectively saying he is not the honourable person we think he is.
Maybe we're just too trusting and gullible
.

Koeman wasn't at the meeting, it was his agent. His agent isn't contracted to Soton therefore Koeman has done nothing wrong.

His agent is doing his job. If there was a potential £6m on the table from EFC and he's currently on £2m with a potential £2.5m on the table at Soton, then if he was your agent wouldn't you expect him to at least speak to the prospective employer who'd dangled that carrot?

God knows how many articles she'll find on newsnow as well

It really isn't "often" the case. When there is a change in odds but no news being reported elsewhere it is down to bets being placed. In fact Sky Sports have actually given us the reason why the odds have been cut... It's fairly obvious in this case.

@bigadamsport: Things between @RonaldKoeman & [HASHTAG]#saintsfc[/HASHTAG] would have to turned sour very quickly for him to consider Everton & giving up Europa Lge for another season of flux, despite Everton's ambition. Not a career move for Koeman IMO. And would be really go back on his word?

He's winding you up mate. My source on this is a Southern based Blue who has an 'in' with the new regime at Goodison.

Exactly. Koeman joining Everton would make absolutely no sense unless something has dramatically changed between him and the board.

On SSN the reporter from the De telegraph says he will end up going north in his interview.

So where is the fire when Ronaldo is linked with a move to PSG/United every summer but never moves. Or the fact Ibrahimovic has been linked to about 10 different clubs this summer... A lot of paper talk is made up, which means there is certainly smoke without fire. In this case it is ONE journalist, don't you think if something were going on there may be more than just one bloke who knows about it. Also, the fact Koeman categorically ruled Everton out is probably a better indication of his future rather than one Dutch bloke.
