How can he be talking to the Saints board if he is on hols?

That's what I asked,snap.

I'm warning to the idea of Pelligrini now.

...Freudian slip?...

 

[SteRobbo84]

Actually mate, the W has an accent thing on it, hence the English spelling is "Loew"

Nice try though

Actually, you're both sort of right/wrong. The 'accent thing' - an umlaut is correct but it's above the 'o' not the 'w'. When using an alphabet without the 'ö' in it, like ours, the usual 'o' is used followed by an 'e'. See also sometimes Mesut Oezil.

Anyways, get Koeman in asap so I can get my £225 payout from Coral!

 

[deipnosophist]

Clearly a typo mate

He meant to say he's "yarning" to the idea

I interpreted it as meaning he's "gurning at the idea" (i.e. doing a Hendo)

I was waiting for a Giggs to Everton story to drop, the press are so predictable. They treat us with contempt, we get linked with all of their cast off players too.

The arrogance of the modern player is astounding as well they think they can waltz into a big club first up instead of starting off in the lower leagues. Neville getting a job of the calibre of Valencia first up was bad enough but the idea that Giggs can cut his teeth at Everton is beyond a joke.

I don't think Koeman is a "nudge nudge wink wink" sort of guy lol

Does he do inklings of desire?

Have Everton made him number one target without any knowledge of whether or not he is even interested in coming to us?

I wouldnt be suprised if it was someone we hadnt concidered... low, hiddink... the club is good at keeping things quiet, for example, Farhad... no media clowns seen that coming... it just happened. all this media attention is just so they have something to write about. I have no evidence to act upon, but he has seen how a top club like arsenal opperate behind the scenes, have a little faith.. fingers crossed he comes through with the goods... and its neither moyes or ron or any other manager tied up in this media circus

You speak sense. I hope it's somebody who hasn't been mentioned! For me, Hiddink would be absolutely perfect for us. Failing that, de Boar would be quite exciting, followed by Pellegrini.

Koeman might be conducting his contract negotiations with Soton via fax

 

[Taff]

Not sure I understand here.

That was autocorrect....or perhaps it's a sign?

I'm not completely sure - but I reckon his wages at Southampton are enough for him to have one of those smartphone things - probably even on a contract as well - non of that pay as you go or gifgaf malarkey!

So probably quite easy for him to speak to the board on his holibobs!

 

[Toast]

Isn't he on his hols ?

He's sat at a bar on a beach in the pic ive just seen.
We asked permission to speak to koeman two weeks ago and were told to wait until the end of the season.

 

[blue61]

Sorry what have you asked me?

If his people had told our people they're not talking anymore?

He's on a yacht in the Solent running up the semaphore flags to say he is back next week.
