Great. How to turn a positive story into yet another anti-Kenwright diatribe.

I like the bit at 1:56 where they are all having a laugh about Baines helping to get Bobby the sack...

In the mirror I think it was today it says the exact opposite, Soton wanted him to sign longterm, he wanted to see out his current contract then talk about maybe extending, at PSV he was on a 1 year rolling contract for 3 years and he was looking for the same at Soton.
He sacked his agent because his agent was trying to sell us De Boer and Koeman wanted the Everton job, his agent thought Koeman wanted to stay at Soton but that was not the case when a mighty club like us are looking for a new manager.

I guess that's possible too. RK didn't say whose "option 1" it was to see out his contract, his or Southampton's.
But if the M****r said it was Koeman's, I'd immediately assume it wasn't.

Southampton moaning about him leaving but they haven't kept a manager longer then two season since George Burley in 2005 and that was for only three seasons and then goes back to 1994.

Always thinking ahead mate!
Just read that latest article in the guardian. I never realised Paul Wilson was such a fan. Of Southampton
How on gods green earth is it debatable that Everton are a bigger club than that ghastly little plastic box on the south coast. I wonder about these journalists, They'll probably be saying the same hing when Brighton come Up next year

Ronald Koeman insists Everton's ambition motivated Saints exit: It's about more than money
RONALD KOEMAN has urged the club’s coveted young trio John Stones, Romelu Lukaku and Ross Barkley to stay at Goodson Park and help him achieve his main ambition - Champions League qualification.

Ronald Koeman left Southampton for Everton after two years in charge at St Mary's
Koeman, who says it was football ambition rather than a huge salary hike that prompted him to quit Southampton and join Everton, has faced a backlash from Saints fans for quitting the Europa League qualifiers for a club that finished five places below them last season.
But he hit back at claims it was simply down to the lucrative three-year contract worth £18million he has signed at Everton – and more to do with the ambition of new majority share-holder Fahrad Moshiri who will back Koeman with a £100m transfer war chest.
Already a multi-millionaire from his illustrious playing career and 16 years as a manager in four different countries, the Dutch legend said: “If it was about money, I can stop [working] tomorrow. It’s about more than money.
“I had a good contract in Southampton. All the managers in the Premier League are well paid. You can buy two cars, but you can only drive one car.

Express Sport takes a look at who Ronald Koeman might look to bring in at Everton during the summer transfer window
“If I didn’t see ambition in Everton, I wouldn’t come to here and that’s maybe a good message to all of these players.
“Everton’s owners and their fans expect more than the last couple of years and I think it’s realistic to do better and fight for European football. I said the same at Southampton and I think Everton can do more.”
Koeman, 53, lifted the lid on his controversial decision to quit Saints by claiming he was willing to see out the final season on his three-year contract on the south coast but Southampton wanted him to commit to a new deal - the terms of which left him unimpressed – because they feared uncertainty over the manager’s future would have a negative effect on the team’s performances next season.
“My first option was to continue at Southampton, to do my last season of contract but it was not possible,” he added. “Les Reed said to me that it was not possible to go through my last year of contract without knowing what would happen after that. That made it more difficult.
“I didn’t think it was a problem because I signed a one-year contract on three occasions with Feyenoord in Holland. I then got a proposal [of a new contract] from Southampton and, in my opinion, it was not what I liked to see. Then the whole Everton story came out, their interest in me and also the interest from my part.
“I know you can expect this reaction [from the fans] but maybe this reaction will be a little bit different now because I have not spoken before about why they did not accept me seeing out the last year on my contract. They said I had to sign a new contract and we didn’t agree.”
Koeman now has to convince Manchester City target Stones and Chelsea target Lukaku – as well as Barkley – that Everton can pull themselves out of mid-table mediocrity and challenge for the top four.
“The best way is always to keep the best players,” he said. “Barkley is a young player, Stones is a young player, Lukaku is one of the best strikers and you like to keep them. But I’ll have meetings with them and we’ll see what happens.
“What I can say is that I will do everything to keep Lukaku because he is a key player. He is a goal scorer, he’s a strong No 9 he’s a strong number nine, he’s still only 23 and I think he can improve."
Koeman has appointed his brother Erwin as his assistant but will keep Everton legends Duncan Ferguson and David Unsworth in his coaching team.

I like the way Koeman clearly doesn't care about Everton in the slightest. He's here to use us and treat us like the downright nasty hos we are.
When one of us jibs the other there'll be utterly no remorse. We're in it for the nastiness. Treat us mean. Spit on our clit Ronald.

Yes, at least on Saturday! Another few Czech/Slovak Evertonians especially from the CZ/SK Everton fanclub should be there too!
