My face hit a full plate of spaghetti once because of bad jet-lag. It all caught up with me, and eating can be delightfully soporific. Usually, afterwards, not during.
Could have been worse Dave, you could have been talking to someone and they fell asleep.

Yep... I looked that word up. Today's new word for me
That used to happen all the time when I was doing my financial presentations to people in the company. As a finance person, you get used to seeing people doze off when you speak to them ...............

That's how the Germany / Poland game made me feel ................ but without the "delightfully" .....

What an awful article. I don't see how the club can be criticised whatsoever.
If we take a massive step backwards in performances, then the club will have to accept criticism, but until that time, articles like this are toilet paper.
TBF, this article matches the facts as well...just fed from the other side. What it comes down to is that all was not well with a major difference between the two parties. If true, Koeman leaving and us getting compo can only be good for Saints as our future is tied to Reed and not Ron. And doesn't affect the fact that RK lied through his teeth. Before you knock the article completely, you should read one of the bits from the middle of the article; hardly anti-Saints is it?
Southampton, who won seven of their last nine games, are an upwardly mobile outfit.
Everton? They are hanging on to history, still talking about the glory days of Sheedy, Reid, Bracewell, Ratcliffe and Kendall in the mid-80s.
Farhad Moshiri, the club’s new investor, will no doubt give Koeman money to spend, but nobody can say that Goodison Park is stable.
Koeman has walked away from a good thing.

In many ways only repeating what a lot of us have been saying all along. I think Everton for now is a long way behind where Saints where when RK joined us. Will be interesting to see how good a job he makes of it with Everton and how much money it costs their new owner.
Perhaps that is true...if the journalist has been fed facts from someone on Koeman's side. The higher figure quoted may be to do with add ons and bonuses.
I found the article confusing. It started off by criticising Saints and finished with the bit you posted. Seems badly written to me.
Possibly a net figure, ITK Tobes didn't dispute the £6m wage reports.
Equally the £3m could be a deception to dampen down the claims of "greed", being made, and to show £oeman in a better light, as a manager moving for reasons other than personal gain.
There must be thousands of Everton fans who think he moved because of a hefty £6/£7m wage, and not because of team building- especially given the long drawn out nature of the negotiations.
Didn't notice the Sun, or any media outlet, previously denying the £6/£7m wage.

They may have been trying to suggest that Koeman left over a difference of principle...because he went for not much more money and to a possibly tougher job. However, that is not clear which, as you say, makes it badly written. This is the curse of the cut and paste generation of journalists. They can change the start of an article then post it without rewriting the piece. How often have you read a bit about a match where the start of the report contradicts the end...because it was altered as the journalist went along, but no one did any proof reading.
I read it twice because I thought I'd missed something in amongst the photos as it reads like the middle has disappeared. Before the photo bad Saints, after the photos great club.
