I do have faith in this board. It's just a little strange that very few seem to last more than a few years. I can accept losing players and managers to the so called big teams. But losing possibly the best manager in the clubs history to Everton has Me having a few doubts.
Equally it seems a bit weird putting that video out if things aren't going well. Les would be running the risk of looking like a mug. If Koeman goes it's more likely things were going okay until Everton backed a truck full of cash up to Koeman's front door.
On my phone, mate just text me saying he saw it on there. I'm sure it won't be hard to find the thread on there.
Emery has won the Europa league 3 seasons in a row. As much as we think Koeman is class, Emery is a league above.
True but still don't think their is a top team looking for a manager. I would have thought the draw of 6 million a season and 100 million transfer kitty and a chance to manage I the best league in the world would be quite a draw for someone like Emery.
Don't think this is too unlikely a scenario: Koeman has seen the deal proposed by Saints, doesn't want to sign He says he wants to see his contract out (like he has said publicly) but will be off at the end of next season Saints make it clear that they want long term commitment and if there is a manager who they want available then he replaces Koeman before his contract is up, as they aren't just going to sit around until his deal expires Koeman then goes and has a look at what Everton have to offer
There are more than a few possibilities. The offer was presumably being negotiated by Koeman's new agent, with Koeman on vacation...while I have no doubt that Ron was kept in the loop, it's possible that the agent left an impression that Koeman himself would not have. Or, it's possible that Les got caught in the excitement and jumped the gun. Or, it was a PR move by the club to show they'd done everything they could before being undercut by Everton. Or, that wasn't Les in the video at all, but a replicant inserted in his place by that Dalian Wanda guy to undermine the board and pave the way for his takeover and/or world domination. Many possibilities!
One things for sure, Reed and the board will look very foolish if he leaves. It will remind many of the Clyne situation.
