Maybe, maybe not. The attraction to the players incoming will be £££££££££££££££££££££££
I think you are being quick to judge harshly Beddy. We don't know the full details yet (unless you do but can't tell us
)I simply can't despair at this Board. They are doing a great job. Maybe too good
Thing is, we're a bit of a golden ticket for managers right now.
Pochettino - out in the wilderness - comes to Saints and MASSIVELY improves his reputation. Now considered to be one of the world's premiere coaches.
Koeman - widely liked, but thought of as a man "who doesn't quite have what it takes" for a seriously big club. Comes to Saints, massively improves his reputation, until he's seen as prime candidate when the big jobs come around.
Hey, it's a good place to be chaps. Line up in an orderly queue.

Richard Buxton covers EFC and LFC - "Ronald Koeman's Everton talks not as advanced as Dutch reports claimed. [HASHTAG]#SaintsFC[/HASHTAG] still confident he will extend his stay at St Mary's [HASHTAG]#EFC[/HASHTAG]"
I admire those who are able to see this as purely a positive. We are about to lose a good manager to a team which have done nothing the last couple of years. Yet again the board has put out all the wrong signals, making us feel positive in a negative situation. If we get an equally good replacement and the players are not unsettled then this is okay. If we don't? Well, the word disaster springs to mind.
I do hope the next manager is a little more willing to use youth though.

Blimey it took me ages to read that lot. The outcome of it all is we still don't know either way. 
Unless the club push him out, I have to say, I will be disappointed that he's not the honourable man I thought. Haven't quite given up on him yet in view of the contradictory statements.

Just woke up and came here for news! Has anything changed since last night?

No news except the Dutch media reporting that Everton will be announcing in the next 24 hours. Someone better wake Les up and tell him.

Such a shame that Everton have wasted a fair few million of that spending money by doing the big 'I AM' through the press.
We've progressed each of the last 7 seasons despite coming through similar situations before. Maybe it's the others spending willy nilly without a plan that have it wrong? Similar to Leicester last year, they don't respect us so they fall into our trap and we counter-attack with ruthless business efficiency.
There's alot of " Koeman deal to be completed in the next 24 hours floating around now".
I truly believe it's a done deal , just waiting for the announcement.

Very poor day if he leaves as it looked as if this summer may be the one where we get the opportunity to build rather than rebuild. Such a shame.
