    Maybe I'm a bit odd, but if I had gone on record as saying that I would honour a contract, I would like to think that I would do that, irrespective of carrots being dangled.
    And, if my agent made such a visit, without my knowledge, then I would look for another agent.
    Naive maybe, but some people think a good name is worth keeping, and it's not as if Ron is short of a few quid.

    Anyone know any golf caddies?
    They're the only source worth paying attention too

    I spoke to someone at the pitch and putt. He said "no stroke without hire".

    Ron might be doing what we all do with our car insurance ... squeezing a little more out of the system. I get my renewal quote, it's not bad but then I get an email from GoCompare saying they can insure my car for £50 less. I tell my current insurer this and they reduce the renewal by £30. I stay - piece of mind with my current setup but get some extra money off.

    In Ron's case, he sends the agent up to "enquire" about potential wage and transfer budget. Ron gets the details, sits down with Saints and squeezes a little more out of the board for his contract renewal ...

    At least, this is what I choose to believe in this scenario :)

    I'd rather not be bored to death when I go to games. He's a good manager for bottom half PL teams, not for us.

    if he does go it proves 2 things. 1. The board are not as ambitious as we thought and 2. People on here who claim to be in the know pretty much know nothing. If he stays then we have a really ambitious board and our itk's are the best.

    If he leaves this summer it will be for one reason. SFC are unhappy with the instability that the one remaining year creates, & they would rather make a tough decision now than to let the situation run. Everton don't know jack, they are just hanging around in desperation, no point with getting upset with them.

    I agree. He's done everything that's been asked of him, time after time. And it's a myth imo that he only knows how to play the long ball. Give him the tools and he does the job. Could he get Saints into the CL? Quite possibly he could but I doubt we'll ever know, frankly.

    I still think Ron is staying one more year anyway.

    If it is true that his agent has met with Everton today then I think it is pretty certain that Saints have given it the OK first!!!
