    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 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!

    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.

    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....

    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?
