He could put his £6m in to the Jodrell Bank!

I appreciate that. But you were implying that them staying was a good thing. I don't fully agree with that. Or at all, actually.

Can I ask why? Particularly Watson?

 

[SaintinSerbia]

I think he's made a big mistake - when he joined us he knew a few good boys from the Dutch leagues and brought them here - now he's in the same boat as everyone else competing for players that all the other teams know about - he's gone from the only team in a town to decidedly the second team in a town, a team that cannot keep it's best players and never will unless Liverpool get relegated. Bye Ron, bad decision, you could have been a legend but are now just a leg end. These fingers will never type your name again.

I really like Sammy Lee. He brings raw enthusiasm which must be positive to the players.

Goalkeeping coaches are two-a-penny. Really, anyone can do it. Kelv could do it.

Sammy is a good lad, but again, he's pretty much a dogsbody and puts the cones out and fetches the tea etc. Every club needs one of those, but it's hardly irreplaceable.

Well that's the boring bit done. Hopefully we can get the interesting stuff going pretty quickly.

Will Everton let Koeman jet off on holiday during International breaks? Could have been a sticking point in negotiations.

Except that Dave Watson is regarded as the best there is by most who know, but don't let that get in the way of your opinion!

Watson is the England GK coach and is highly thought of by people in the England see up, including Hart, Forster. Much rather he stayed as he's highly rated for his training sessions etc.

I raised this a while ago. We really let Koeman have it easy.

Throw the ball.... catch the ball. Throw the ball.... catch the ball. Kick the ball... punch the ball. etc etc.

I could do it.

No one would pay you to do it.

Watson is the England GK coach.

I shall remember that when Hart tosses it soon.

Hope we don't rush a new guy in, the conspiracy theorists will have a field day! Second thoughts, they will have a field day whatever happens..........

So, nothing to do with tactics, positional sense, confidence building etc...

Next time you speak to Fraser, ask him what he thinks...

Right now we know for sure......we need to get the new man in quickly please saints.

Not sure I agree with this. Watson was a big reason Forster chose to come here, with his England links and standing in the game. I wouldn't want to rock that boat and great that we have someone of such regard contracted to the club. I also like having a coach like Lee hang around. Experienced, energetic and a nice constant from the last regieme. Happy.

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.

Sounds to me, that Everton did the dirty on Saints. They probably could care less, about paying any fine, for "taping up"

Hopefully not paid on attitude and results perhaps?
