    I think you and I see things different. I don't expect our owner to just throw HER cash around willy nilly. Why should she?

    I think you may have let our recent progress get a head of you.

    Ah, this familiar old debate about money. Every summer we come back to it like a comfy old jumper. <hug>

    He was out of contract because he was expecting to get the Holland job. That's how I remember it, anyhow.

    We're going to be a very attractive option for a lot of managers. I'm looking forward to seeing who we appoint next.

    I think Ronald may have been the first person I have ever truly loved.

    Your point was we don't offer money, we clearly do. The money Everton are offering is obscene.

    Why? They committed to the club, not Ronald Koeman.

    I don't think that is clear yet to a large number of people, despite the club saying it over and over.

    This is the part I admire about our Board. They just won't let things run away from us again. It nearly did once.

    Again I am glad I am going on holiday on Monday. Hopefully it has calmed down when I get back.

    This is the way to be, Tom.

    Saints has never been so attractive to managers.

    Top six football, three consecutive top eight finishes. Richest league in the world. Europa group stages.

    Top level facilities and the owner is preparing to further expand on that, too. Talented squad already here.

    Supportive board who don't meddle in managerial matters.

    There'll be good managers queuing up from all over Europe just in hope of getting an interview with the board.

    If sotonsaint was driving it, we would need a new gear box as he'd be trying to do 100mph in first gear :)

    Well, I won't get upset at Ronald leaving (****ing Dutch bastard). However, I will be pissed if the replacement is not of a similar quality.

    It does depends where on the "breakeven or profit" scale they fall, though. Breakeven is responsible (though sometimes it's financially worth it to spend a bit extra now if it pays more down the road). Trying to make sizable year-on-year profits would be less so.

    Agreed. My point was that we didn't poach him from Feyenoord. He needed a club, we needed a manager. No problem there
