He's going to LOVE living up there in the 'Pool then, isn't he? I worked with a guy (Toffee supporter - never mind, no-one's perfect) and he absolutely loved the fact that he'd moved to Hampshire away from there and was happy for his family ................
Don't worry about that. There are areas where Liverpudlians live and there are areas where the footballers live. The latter are every bit as nice as here.
 
Breaking news on MSN Sport - "Lukaku nears exit ....." - Oh yes, I REALLY hope for that. And Stones as well ........... With Everton agreeing they won't take our players, hopefully .......
I'm sorry, Ron - I understand the need to move for money - I've done it myself, but don't lead people on and blatantly lie about it ....... Lost the respect I had for you. Hope we get someone better to replace you and that we dick you both home and away next season ............
Well, we managed to do Spurs at last so why not.
 
I think Kluitenberg will be fuming with Ron, he loves it here. I spoke to him on the train once and he couldn't stop saying how much he liked being in Southampton

I got no sympathy - he's a big boy who can make his own mind up. I doubt Ron is holding him at gunpoint to Everton.
 
Can't see sammy or Watson staying, new manager will want his own coaches, hopefully those coaches will be Berkamp and Stam and maybe SKD as goal keeping coach?
 
I don't think it's ever got to court before, as no one wants to test it and we all want to pretend contracts mean something, but I think Ron could protest it was a restraint of trade or the right to practise such.

On the other hand I'm hopefull all of Everton's signings this season are as slick and over a similar timescale as Rons. Could be entertaining.

If Koeman did a uturn and we refused to let him do his job then he would take us to court and win. He is still our employee and he still has a contract. It would be very hard to prove gross negligence and it would amount to not allowing an employee to do his job. This would be the same for any player too.

If he stays on our books we would have to agree compensation to end the contract or let him do the job he has a contract to do.

Not tat it matters because it has all been agreed and announced now :)

they're confirmed staying regardless. They're appointed by the club, not the manager.
 
Former Southampton and England forward Matt le Tissier said he was "disappointed" and "quite surprised" at Koeman's decision to leave, particularly with Saints playing in the Europa League next season.

"He may feel he has got a better chance of winning trophies at Everton. I'd be of a slightly different opinion," Le Tissier told BBC Sport. "I understand they've got a new owner and want to splash a bit of cash, but it might not be as easy a job as he thinks.

"Most clubs in the Premier League are pretty wealthy now and can compete in the transfer market. We just have to move on and look to the next man to take us forward again.

"The players' loyalty lies with the football club and hopefully they will kick us on again next season."

Liverpool is a great place to live these days. Like most major cities though, there's very nice areas and **** ones.

Most of the footballers live out at Formby or in Cheshire.
 
Cant see the new manager being told what coaches he has to work with. I'm fairly certain they won't be in the dug out next season. Unless we hire Rafa.

Go and ask Sammy, he is in the Wykeham Arms in Winchester almost every night and is genuinely one of the friendliest, chattiest blokes I have ever met.
