I understand that, but if the roles were reversed and a Everton coach was going to get pinched by United, but he decided to stay, saying he loves working here and loves living in the area, that argument would be a valid one. So you can understand why he may not want to move, whether he does or not is a different question.
but it wouldn't happen, that in football hardly ever happens. Its just a pipe dream, theres zero chance that he won't move let's be honest, the only reason he wouldn't come is if we didn't want him.

If an everton coach or member of staff was wanted by someone like barca, no matter how much they loved the area, they'd still move, more money means they can do what they want when they retire, southampton means nothing to him mate without dis-respect, it's just a job to him, so will everton be, just a job. He has no allegiance to you or us.

We also had a situation where we had a brilliant scout at everton, for years who loved living in the north, but as soon as chelsea offered him a lot of money and a lot more ambition, guess what, he left.

I get this, and I'm not trying to over romanticise it, I get that no player/coach cares about Saints as much as I do, and they have no emotional connection to saints, but enjoying your job and the area you live in, are legitimate practical reasons not to move.

logical reasons if you are, let's say a doctor, a painter and decorator, etc all these relatively normal jobs.

Football is not a normal job, if a manager or coach likes a area so much they will go back there when they retire, until then.. there are nice areas wherever you are, if you have enough money.

At the end of it all if he really wanted to stay all he had to do was say no, all indications are that he has agreed to come

Anyway, the lupins in my garden have come on wonderfully. Especially the Rachel Design Tame white lupin.
Lots of rich composte with a good layer of mulch is all that's needed, adds a real splash of colour. A good watering in the evening after a hot afternoon is advised.

I'm a doctor and I've moved house sixteen times in the past 18 years

Yes they are legitimate reasons to stay,but in football a new manager tends to bring his own staff in so its one thing wanting to stay its another thing not getting offered a position
 
Slightly off topic-ish but my head is about to explode with conspiracy theories. He's on holiday, frying his pale freckly skin and drinking dodgy local lager. He'll be here when the jet lag/hangover/food poisoning gets better. End of. In the meantime does anybody know what the situation with Big Dunc, Rhino and Sheeds is? Staying on the coaching staff or not?
