With respect, you have no idea that any of the story has any "substance". You have an opinion on it obviously, but you simply don't know if any of it is true.
Where is the evidence that the Southampton board were unhappy with Koeman?
It's not the same "ITK" who just yesterday said Koeman is going on gardening leave is it?
Look, Koeman has gone from the messiah who wouldn't touch us with a barge pole to the devil incarnate who you're better off without in the space of a fortnight with Saints fans all over the shop acting like bed wetting little girls whilst concocting all sorts of weird and wonderful fantasist stories.
It's utterly embarrassing.
Edit: Messed up the quote.
I'd like to consider myself a fairly rational fan, so I will answer as rationally as I can.
I agree, I cannot prove it is true in anyway, it is very possible it is all wrong, but in the same way most of the forum cannot disprove it in anyway, apart from not wanting it to be true.
The 'ITK' post came from a saints forum I am not familiar with, so I can not vouch for it's authenticity apart from saying, the guy who made the post is a long time user of that forum, who ran into his 'ITK' mate, again cannot authenticate or disprove any of this, but I will say it would take a lot of effort to make up a post, as detailed and wide ranging as it was.
The 'ITK's' Guan 2.0 and K Billy Supersound (the one that posted about gardening leave yesterday) on Saintsweb, are the ones I am most familiar with, and they posted in March/april saying that in January the board had a meeting with Koeman to discuss things they were not happy with. They basically matched with the ITK story from this morning.
You can understand why Saints fans have gone from liking Koeman to disliking based on the fact he has jumped ship, after saying repeatedly he wouldn't. If roles were reversed Everton fans would be just as upset.[/QUOTE]
It'd take a lot of effort in that he'd have to sit in front of a screen and this for a bit , it's not exactly digging holes in the ground . Also are you new to the Internet ? Fantasists and halfwits abound .
It is detailed , if anything too detailed . If seems this source has spoken at length to everybody involved or at least had sources that do . Including it seems koeman's staff and even his brother have broken confidences to bemoan having to leave the beautiful south for the wilderness of the frozen north .
I've no idea if there was a situation with Koeman earlier in the season that seems entirely possible , the fact that you know it and other Itk's have apparently posted it would mean that this fella wouldn't struggle to base his story on that . Who knows that may or may not be true . The rest of it reads like rubbish if I'm honest, just my worthless opinion though . Including but not exclusively an agent hoping Koeman wouldn't read the papers or check sky whilst he was away and see Everton were after him and that he had a cunning plan to drop another client in there for 'two pay days ' . Also I presume crossing his fingers and hoping nobody else in football mentioned it, presumably this bloke will never work again with his reputation now in tatters for withholding a £7m pa job offer from his client .
I get that there is upset that he's leaving but the reinvention of history just makes the fans look a bit sad really . Like the behaviour of some post split when they constantly bemoan the ex leaving whilst spraying perfume on the pillow every night . Probably Be easier just to say he's a scummy liar , he'll regret it & move on .
