did you expect any different?
football fans for you
Koeman during his whole time at saints painted a picture that he is a man of honour...of his word etc,
a year ago he said that barcelona would not tempt him away from his contract as he is different from other people in football and utterly respects the commitment he had made
a few weeks ago he stated time and time again that he would be the manager of saints next season as he is a man of his word. An honourable man, one who does not break his deals etc
he warned players time and time again about leaving saints (for anyone) and used Schneiderlin, Lovren, Chmabers as an example of grass not being greener and all that (spin, I know)
he stated many times that the only jobs that would tempt him from NOT renewing his current deal would be the Dutch National Job and Barcelona....only at the end of his deal. This was stated time and time again and pointed others in the game of not being 'honourable' like he is
here we are. Guess after hearing it so much from him, saints fans actually believed him
At least you are seeing it and wont be a surprise to you that if he does well in the next 24 months he would drop you at a moments notice if a better offer comes along
