I think that was more to due with Koeman being offered more money just as Moyes was kept in the high earners bracket. The fake throwing toys out the pram act in January was all an act. 6 Million a year is living proof. So was his fake ultimatum to Ross.
Koeman would leave at first opportunity of a better club coming in for him in my opinion however what is interesting is that here in my country L'Équipe ran a story about how Lucien Favre met with Everton board and they kept him waiting,Favre is a fantastic manager and now off to Dortmund after getting NICE into the champions league (As he has with previous clubs in Germany and discovered great players like Reus and Ter Stegen etc).
It's interesting that they said Everton kept him waiting and in the end he chose a lesser job. It looked to me that they spent all summer chasing experts in selling to buy in Walsh and Koeman and with the mantra that 7th-9th pays well when you don't have to invest anything NET.
Either that or they shortlisted Favre out of luck because he was free and didn't have a clue about his management skills that are superior to Ronald- Every 18 year old who follows european football knows this.
Maybe it's a case of Old men Elstone who follow Rugby not being very wise- An example I like to use is like saying someone at the FBI can be good at catching Serial killers but they really don't know how to put them self in their shoes and understand the picture whole.
Bill Moshiri Elstone and the Russian bloke don't really understand football so I'd of hoped Walsh would step up and act like a Levy type role and really take everything out of bills and elstones hands. Walsh should really be hiring and firing managers, appointing specialist staff, handling contracts, organising transfers. But it seams like Elstone and Bill have massive part to play.
Favre is a decent manager, but never managed in the Premier League, I mean hes won a few Swiss Leagues, WOW.
Nice finished 4th last season, under the current Saints manager, Favre did really well to get them a whole place extra.
Dry your sheets, the battle is almost over, this summer is the big 1.
