I know 'I've seen it somewhere' doesn't really mean anything but I've seen it on other forums that he is said to have ruled himself out as not interested and on the same topic did David Moyes say before Koeman that he wouldn't be interested in the job here because he wanted to manage a 'top club'?

Looks like anyone the fans are thinking about [with some saying not good enough for us] think we ain't that much of a prospect [as we seem to think].

Not that I want Moyes, but if he said or thinks that, he wants to wake up fast. There are about five top jobs in English football, and they're all interested in the cream of world club managers, ie. not Moyes. We are about the highest placed club who might take him - and hopefully he's done us a favour by ruling himself too good!

I would say it's all going to plan. If you sign a manager for 3 years who says he will only fulfill his contract then he will work his bollocks off for 2 years and coast the last one. So you plan to replace him after 2 years. Put up a bit of a fight after 2 years, make it look like he's the bees knees, bank 5 million. I expect his replacement has been sorted for at least a year - and it won't be anyone on that list above!

I agree. Plus, in reality Koeman cost us nothing because we got paid £2m when Poch went and now we get £5m when he goes. I think that would have just about covered their costs for the last 2 years!

what exactly is your point?[/QUOTE]

Not sure what happens there Ashby. For some reason my post quoted yours when I was replying to someone else. Very odd. Sorry.

I've read back through, I think it was in reply to your comment if you said he Board must be dillusional. How on earth can anyone call this Board dillusional just because a couple (3) things haven't worked out is beyond me.

They have been fantastic.

Because you intended to make a quoted reply with someone else on the same thread earlier, and the software annoyingly remembers that you did. So you could have been halfway through a reply and abandoned it, and then it showed up in any reply that you make on the same thread.

Hopefully that wasn't totally confusing.

This image needs stickying somehow, somewhere, so that anytime an opposing fan comes on giving us the large about him going they get directed to it.

I'll see about archiving it within the Editor's thread, so that people get a wake-up shock if they go there. The upshot will be that nobody will ever see the image again. :)

I know when it does that TSS, but this was different to that. Very odd.

Really? In three separate circumstances we have been told that they are positive that MP, TA and RK would sign, in fact discussions are progressing well, or in an advanced state.

Please tell me how many of those three actually signed? Was it 1, 2, 3 or 0?

Either they are trying to blow smoke up our posteriors or they really believe they will sign.

Media manipulation and spin. That doesn't indicate an ineffective board. Quite the opposite really.

They thought they'd sign. They didn't. Does that really make the board dillusional? Do you think we have a problem with our board?

The spend 7 years dragging this club to where it is now and you want to moan about three people who didn't sign, two of which screwed them over... My goodness, there is just no pleasing some people.

What did you want them to do?

Strange goings on with Koeman, what potential can he see better with Everton than he can with the saints unless he just fancies a new challenge....

How about not saying somebody will sign until its actually happen.

No need to be down,if as it seems he's left us for money we're better off without the greedy sod.The club will get it right then onto excitement again.

If we are said twats, Southampton have actually spent more via the Leibherrs than Portsmouth ever did.

And most of what we spent never even existed at all

You wouldn't believe how many people moan when they don't keep us up to date. Damned if they do and damned if they don't.

Anyway, is that really a problem? Does that make them dillusional? I assume you don't rate them?
