    Just to complicate things further, one or two standard phone browsers [therefore using the desktop, not the app] have trouble with apostrophes and therefore certain words. For example, it's, that's. Write those words in certain browsers on certain phones, on this forum, and all hell can break loose. ;)

    They can write them, but any letter placed after the apostrophe gets placed near the beginning of the post, if that post is a quoted reply. It overwrites any words until it is discovered by the author to have gone wrong. This can result in some curious posts, and it is the sort of problem Chilco had the other week when he patched up his post afterwards.

    There is more to it than money. he was not happy about something to ditch Southampton and join Everton ....money means nothing to multi millionaires.....the job satisfaction and the ability to make the saints do what Leicester did with style was Koeman's ambition. He had that taken away from him......Money will not be the reason there is a lot more to it than that.....You could understand if a really big club come in for him but not Everton ffs

    Well, certain Dutch people really don't like the Germans. WWII aftermath, and all that.

    As to FLT and Ashby's posts, I'll have a look and see if I can tidy them up without destroying the conversations. Cheers

    Yeah, did the same with my last post before I edited it. I think there should be two of them at the start of those quoted posts, not one.

    [ quote ] starts a quote and [ /quote ] ends one (again, without the spaces). It looks to me like your posts quoting Ashby will have one without the slash and two with. There should be the same number.

    Yes, you appear to have a problem. Quote and reply to this post. I want to see what results.

    Don't know why some are talking about the player exodus as a reason for him jumping ship. He said he was fully aware of what was going to happen when he arrived and the largest number left. In season two, we lost 2 players that we might have preferred to keep. He had the chance to do something good here and then move on to a big club, but he followed the money to a mid-table club not in Europe. I will be amazed if he finishes his contract at Everton, although whether he will jump or be pushed may be the question.

    I've changed that last reply if mine to Ashby. I think the problem was with his. When I replied it had part of my previous to that post at the top and no quotes around his. I deleted that quote from me and it seems to work.

    With all due respect how would a Swansea fan know anything at all about the plans of Southampton's board?

    Right that was OK. Just for a while, and only on this thread, just make sure of what you have in quotes and what is out of quotes before posting. I think your problem might be over though. Interesting one. ;)
