So is Albers the original agent who got dispatched? Makes sense if he said that, while Rons eyes filled with the sight of green.
Yep, Albers was the man who brought Ron to Saints and was negotiating with Les. Albers is also Frank De Boer's agent...
So, Albers is doing his job respectfully and gets canned. FFS, an agent with morals. Right thats it, I'm all for De Boer now....... just because of Albers!
I suppose if Les takes a liking to De Boer he will at least know what the agent is like to work with. Must be a bonus, I would've thought.
No not a snob. Neville just demonstrated that he is ignorant. My dustbin man is a lovely chap but I don't seek his views on the important matters of the world. Perhaps the BBC would like to ask him for his views on Ron's departure from Saints.
I'd like to know if Virgil knows De Boer from any time scale. He is the one we need to keep happy. I'd build the team around that guy.
FFS just go already! Thanks for a couple of good seasons Ron, maybe you can get into Europe with Everton? Just want us to get a manager in please not moyes or howe.
Fair point. West Ham in particular have lost a lot of top players over the years now I think about it.
That thought has crossed my mind at least once in the last 24 hours. It would be just like Koeman to say, no, no, there was never any interest. I told you I was happy. Then we have to take all the insults back. Thankfully, I believe my IFs are still in place.
You surely can't be referring to Everton legend Neville Southall? The 2 times league title winning keeper who was the best in the World in his pomp.....ignorant on the standing of EFC?
So even his old agent believed what Ron was saying when he swore undying devotion for at least one more season. We don't look so daft now.
Well, his job is to represent his clients' interests. If Koeman was interested in the Everton job, then Albers should have explored it. So he would be ethically in breach of his duties were he to turn down Everton for the benefit of De Boer at the cost of Koeman's wishes. But from reports, it seems as though Koeman really wasn't very interested in Everton's initial offer. So there was nothing wrong with Albers turning that down. Nor with suggesting one of his other clients as an alternative. He's looking out for both clients. Of course, that would only apply the rejection of the initial offer. If Everton came back with a better offer and Koeman was at least mildly interested in exploring it and having negotiations, then Albers would inevitably run into a conflict of interest with two clients both wanting the same job. So that would be a reason for Koeman to switch agents even if he didn't feel particularly betrayed or unhappy with Albers. And Albers would not be a hero, or villain, or victim. It's just business.
