[Phenom]

ill choose them then.

Pretty sure @GrandOldTeam can provide link for you.

There's been about 5 serious candidates in the media and only 1 can get the job therefore all money taken on all other candidates is in the bookies bank.

I apologise for confusion I was referring to some hard fought ITK gold.

 

[gaz1976]

Gary Monk or Unai Emery/Ronald Koeman.

Hmm.

I think people are missing my point here.....I said things take time but surely not having someone in place is harming our chances of signing the players we really require

 

[funkygibson]

oh crap

This guy then goes onto say moshiri wants a manager in place by the weekend. Seems everyone is in agreement on this anyway.
With any luck this time next we'll be debating who are 3rd transfer recruit will be!!

Have you been fed this morning?

I appreciate Mole's insight but this contrasts with the idea that things were quiet yesterday due to both parties getting the business done - why would we meet Koeman today if so?

Because until it is done it is not done, so until you have a signature you have to look for alternatives. It also applies pressure on Emery which is no bad thing, and ultimately Koeman was initially Moshiri's first choice but as I've said many times left the door open for Emery to become the preferred candidate.

Our negotiating position is stronger with two candidates.The position is Emery's to take or leave but he knows that Koeman is once more a contender if for whatever reason he procrastinates.

I'm still of the opinion Emery will take it.

Things have gather pace quite considerably in the last 24 hours.

Club pushing Emery for an answer today.

RK's agent is meeting Everton today too.

The club want everything finalised this week.

Hold tight.

I LOVE YOU MOLE

If Emery truly wants the job he would be foolish to now delay his decision.

How much time have I spent/wasted reading these pages? Good job my boss is away otherwise I'd likely be getting the boot. Great fun though, it's been a roller coaster ride. Hopefully we're coming to the end soon. SIGN THE CONTRACT UNAI

 

[Khalekan]

I think the Koeman stuff could be a late ploy by bookies to accumulate some of their losses on Emery.

Oldest trick in the bookie book.

"ramping" as it is called in Day Trading circles.

Create the illusion of money pouring on one horse or a stock and the stupid money follows.

Then the short sellers get to work

Do you know what the hold up with Emery may be? Might it be conditional on Monchi?

It seems to me that Koeman has been game playing for a little bit. It looked initially like he was using us to get more out of Southampton however increasingly it looks like he was using them to try and get a better deal out of us. What's probably surprised him is the move for Emery from left field and just how attractive an option we have become.

My gut feeling with Koeman is he is probably playing both us and Southampton off against one another but has probably realised he needed to keep us closer than he has.

I like Koeman a lot but I can't say I have been most enamoured by his conduct over the last week or so. Emery seems to be behaving with a little more decency overall and it does worry me a little how Koeman appears to be playing games a little more.

Time for the club to start leaking stuff to the press again maybe ?

 

[dublinbluenose]

Interesting that Milan, while still keen on Emery, all the quotes are they want either Emery or Pellegrini. That wasnt the case even yesterday - as in only Emery was the target.

 

[deipnosophist]

I have to keep myself amused otherwise I fall into a coma.

I hear you my friend...

I hear you.

 

[orly]

Nah

It's a massive decision for him - one he is going to feel massively more confident about if Monchi comes in as DoF. His time in Russia was a mixed experience and this would be another trip abroad. I'd want him to be absolutely certain.

That being said, Spaniards in a football context have tended to enjoy Merseyside in the last few years, so hopefully he'll settle in well.

Koeman has shown himself to be a bit mercenary by the looks of things, which isn't a disaster for us per se but he may well have wee'd on his chips
