Trouble is, we're casting judgements (particularly on Les) by what we're able to see from our limited viewpoints on the outside. At interview, Garcia might have dropped his pants and ran around the room singing "I am the red dolphin master". Pellegrini might have sat down and said "I'll do it for a year, then that's me done".

We just can't see that detail so our tendency is to slightly blindly say "just sign Pellegrini already".

You are correct.

FFS Les, just sign somebody. Anybody :)

Oh, btw, I usually only post on,mobile fone, so smiley's rarely work, hence sometimes we may not always get that 99% I'm taking le tiss...

I had gathered that. Why don't you type : then ) or can you not click the smiley icon? Most my posts are from a phone. Don't use the app.
 
If I had to? Probably Pellegrini as Klinsmann's odds aren't worth it.

I'd agree with this, that at the present time, with the information we know, Pellegrini is more likely to be the better 'value' bet of the two for your money. However, the market has currently settled (for now) in a position that indicates Klinsmann is the more likely to be appointed based on the bets laid.

I do hope it's an over-reaction based on bets placed with either false info, or him just being added to the shortlist but not getting the job. I'd far rather Pellegrini as a fan, as well as because it's better for my firm.
 
when I smilie it either doesn't work, crashes or sticks it randomly somewhere in the original post...

To be fair, we probably share rather similar views, just doesn't always come across that way.

Maybe I will get enough time to meet for a pint next season...

Just let us know, but if you have problems with smilies, bring some printed out and stuck to a stick. You can hold them up then so I know when you're joking <laugh>
 
Did you not think he would have been Everton bound then?
Are contracts worth the paper their written on?
Personally, I don't think that anyone will be Everton bound. Even Koeman has said that it will be awkward (or some such word) to buy any players from Southampton - it obviously may not stop them but they'd have to spend a big chunk of their oft-quoted £100mill for Forster.
