    No. He just signed a new 5 year contract because he's off somewhere else.

    Trouble is, we're casting judgements (particularly on Les) by what we're able to see from our limited viewpoints on the outside. At interview, Garcia might have dropped his pants and ran around the room singing "I am the red dolphin master". Pellegrini might have sat down and said "I'll do it for a year, then that's me done".

    We just can't see that detail so our tendency is to slightly blindly say "just sign Pellegrini already".

    You are correct.

    FFS Les, just sign somebody. Anybody :)

    Too late. You should have thought of that in the first place. Now go and tidy your room.

    I had gathered that. Why don't you type : then ) or can you not click the smiley icon? Most my posts are from a phone. Don't use the app.

    when I smilie it either doesn't work, crashes or sticks it randomly somewhere in the original post...

    To be fair, we probably share rather similar views, just doesn't always come across that way.

    Maybe I will get enough time to meet for a pint next season...

    I'd agree with this, that at the present time, with the information we know, Pellegrini is more likely to be the better 'value' bet of the two for your money. However, the market has currently settled (for now) in a position that indicates Klinsmann is the more likely to be appointed based on the bets laid.

    I do hope it's an over-reaction based on bets placed with either false info, or him just being added to the shortlist but not getting the job. I'd far rather Pellegrini as a fan, as well as because it's better for my firm.

    No excuse for poor punctuation and no capital letters though. :)

    Did you not think he would have been Everton bound then?
    Are contracts worth the paper their written on?

    Just let us know, but if you have problems with smilies, bring some printed out and stuck to a stick. You can hold them up then so I know when you're joking <laugh>

    Personally, I don't think that anyone will be Everton bound. Even Koeman has said that it will be awkward (or some such word) to buy any players from Southampton - it obviously may not stop them but they'd have to spend a big chunk of their oft-quoted £100mill for Forster.

    10 minutes into a 5 year contract, he would make Mane look cheap.
