    Careful what or who you change it to though, the football gods don’t like being messed about…

    The compromise being that we will pay the extra million (or whatever it is) providing they throw Grimes in the deal too.

    Hi lads I don't think this saga dragging out is doing your club or Swansea any good.
    It looks like once the Championship fixtures are announced you will appoint RM as your new manager with a view that any compensation you have to pay will be as a championship club.

    If this happens then it probably means we enter a legal dispute which I would hope both sides want to avoid. That may involve RM being in a breach of contract situation with Southampton named as forcing the breach. If this happens then we go to arbitration to sort it all out!

    Hopefully both sides will get together and get a compromise but this would undoubtedly colour any possible transfer conversation that may take place.

    Think it's pretty unfair that your club wants to suggest that we were a Premier League team last year, when all of the available evidence is that we were no such thing.

    Is it bad that I just don't care? He'll either be our manager or he won't.

    What goes on behind the scenes between business-type football people really doesn't interest me.

    Nah, it’s also not really the time of year where it matters anyway. Four weeks until the players are back in and saga or not, he’s able to chat to Wilcox and co on WhatsApp in this interim period. <laugh>

    I'm sure its just negotiation time and it will be sorted soon to both parties satisfaction
    (After all when has my eternal optimism as a Saints fan ever let me down?!)

    Looking forward to visiting your gaff next season <cheers>

    I also don’t care; but that’s mostly because if it falls through hopefully we will be forced to pick a better option

    Well, the PL AGM is reportedly today... as it's usually a week before fixture release (June 15 for PL)

    Not sure what this has to do with my post? I know when the EFL fixtures are out, but I was talking about the PL fixtures and AGM. :)
