Next manager discussion (poll reset 21/05/2016)

[ultra]

The back pages from tomorrows papers will be out tomorrow. That should give us something to go off.

I seriously doubt that - the hacks have no idea, they know less than us.

They have been out for a while tonight already

and you will see the front and back pages as soon as they are out.

(But you will not learn much from what they write)

Can we take him off the poll then mate. At least it would keep the RS's at bay

nah mate, IMO it's a good thing, as all it's doing is getting them all in the one section,

 

[Tigger]

That's so far from the truth mate - there's no Moyes on the agenda, believe me.

@The Esk says Relax

 

[Bullet]

He's allowed a holiday mate.

So many contradictions in this statement with what's been said before, and been said by Koeman.

There's certainly nothing definite in this statement at all, it's very conditional - they've not discussed contract terms as they've not yet reached agreement on where the club is going; "if Ronald is committing himself", "we're at the point of getting down to the detail".

There's no detail or suggestions of where they are going - if they had agreement he would be indicating what their ambitions are.

I would say this is a fairly weak holding statement, nothing more.

It's a conditional statement that indicates that talks are ongoing without a resolution, either way, yet. The fact that Koeman is taking so long to decide whilst, apparently, being vigorously pursued by us with the distinct possibility that we could turn our attentions elsewhere strongly suggests he's only lukewarm on the EFC 'project'. He knows he can take his time to commit to Southampton and their contract will still be waiting but he can't know that regarding EFC and he doesn't seem to be very concerned about potentially missing a great opportunity which provides compelling evidence that he doesn't necessarily view it as a great opportunity even if he is somewhat interested.
From our perspective the 'Moshiri project' is a fantastic step forward but perhaps it's pulling power is being overestimated. From the outside, we're a club who finished 11th, are going to lose our top scorer and have a big rebuilding job ahead. Moshiri provides promise of boardroom change and a substantial budget (does the mooted £100 million include player sales? - very important). The promise needs to be demonstrated but even if it is it still won't put us in with the really big boys financially. Nevertheless the 'project' is still great for EFC as I can imagine the future we'd be looking at without a new de-facto owner.

Took me a minute but David Bowie's
"Pellegrini lives on his back
Pellegrini loves chimney stacks"?

He doesn't scream or bawl though, does he?

 

[marnie]

lol

His agent you say....

De Boer has been fluttering his eyelashes at every PL with a vacancy for the last 12 months. As soon as a PL manager is sacked you can guarantee his brother appears on TS talking about how his brother fancies working in England.

Fluttering his eyelashes !!!! He has dropped his kecks and bent over lol

 

[gaino92]

Get in, bring back Bobby please

Its 41 mate sorry to burst the bubble

 

[brieverton]

For one about all the big clubs on front of us who are settled going into next season, while we dont even have a manager. How bad it would be if one of Lukaku or Stones goes, things like that.

I believe Leicester were also in terrible trouble last pre-season having appointed some Italian buffoon, Mr. Tinker or some bloke.

We should all be hugely concerned off the back of TalkShites charitable concern for EFC.

 

[Bally8]

Koeman signing a new contract...

 

[Moomin]

Looking at the papers tomorrow,Favre has snubbed and so has Koeman.

The list is getting smaller and the possibility of Moyes is getting stronger.

 

[blulouie]

Talk Sport are discussing everton now and saying we should be worried. lol.

They know just as much as any of us know (bar @The Esk )......which is zilch.

If anyone did know the bookies would take a terrible pasting.

 

[mutley]

Anyone got Moshiri's phone number ?

Strange, the papers think Koeman has changed agent and will be on £2.5 million. Martinez was on more than that, so I would be surprised he would't come here for a couple if million pounds a year more.

Koeman signing a new contract...

He's on holiday mate.
