Without getting into an argument, I said at the time that Everton are the bigger club (we are, based on everything that is deemed to make a club 'bigger' than another), I believe that Southampton, over the past few seasons, have been better - and that's proven by your league finishes. So, I can see why many people would objectively see this as a sideways move - and I said that a few weeks back.

However, it seems we have now got our man. From what we Evertonians know (and it's very little, as the club has been extremely quiet in all this), RK was Moshiri's no.1 target from the start, but supposedly RK overplayed his hand slightly last week, and we made extensive contact with Emery from Sevilla. He was offered the job but until today it was not clear whether he would take it.

In the meantime, RK came back into the reckoning. So I suppose there was a bit of bluffing and double bluffing from all parties involved.

If it goes through, and by very reliable sources on our side, it has been done, then I'm delighted. I think the majority of our fanbase will be. Many seemed to have jumped on the Emery bandwagon, but for me Koeman's PL experience was possibly the factor that made us offer that bit much more to RK than Emery. We can't be sure on that. I'd have been delighted with either.

Interesting to see where you go next. You have the Europa to at least attract a big name (as if the Prem alone wasn't enough to do that). I imagine that De Boer will now shoot way up in the reckoning, or do you perhaps even see yourselves going for Pellegrini?

My posts per-day are still limited on here, so I tried to fit as much as possible into one response!"

Why come on here gloating **** off...
 
If we get Koeman feel sorry for Southampton, though bit surprised he is coming. Just read the rants on the Soton website, obviously they're gutted. We all know what its like to have your best people sold or leave. My mate is a Soton and is gutted, makes him hate us more. Oh well ambition is never always popular.
 

Really are a deluded lot, they seriously can't understand how we're a step-up from them (not mentioning the fact we're the 4th most successful club in English football and they're a club that's literally never won anything I don't think). They were in League 1 a few years ago, we're a team with the money and core players to break into the top 4 just all we need is the right manager to bring it all together.

Proper beauts.
