Interesting to see how the punishing training routine will hold up with all the extra games and travel the Europa League affords you. Especially given his ambivalence about that competition. Just because he is talking to them doesn't mean it is a done deal​. He might get both offers, weigh them up and still choose us.

Nope, and I used them as an example. If they deserved it on grounds of gross misconduct etc. please substitute my example with: Nigel Adkins Alan Pardew Mark Wotte Jan Portivelt

He more likely drove.

This is utterly hilarious. People now running MoPo's ability and character because he is on the verge of dumping us for a rival. He is a professional, he believes this is the best move for him. Am I disappointed? Yes. Am I surprised? No. Many on here bemoaning the lack of loyalty that he is [reportedly] showing us. By the way, this is exactly the same level of loyalty our club showed to Dodd and Williams - it cuts both ways.

People in glass houses.

If you had a five year project, would you like one of the linchpins refusing to commit having pulled the same stunt twice before in the space of a year? #justsaying

I am sure you have never been a board member at a £100m turnover company, but your inexperience doesn't stop you having an opinion

If anyone wants to chill out please simply dig out the follow threads: - Pardew sacked - Adkins sacked - Cortese could leave - Cortese has left All of which predicted the apocalypse with hysterical reaction after hysterical reaction. We seem to relish a meltdown.

This has all the hallmarks of a Golden Thread.

Not really, they all have solid respectable backgrounds in their field. Perhaps they played hard ball with MP and wouldn't bend over for him, or put up with his continual posturing. Very few outside of the SMS boardroom really know what is going on. Let's see what the summer brings in totality before declaring 'Meltdown'.

Groundsman of the year, flourishing academy / sports science and a decent media team aside you mean?

The one upside is we won't have to put up with MP potentially leaving every 6 months.

If they do ask for permission, refuse it and make him quit. We shouldn't just roll over.

JWP singing MP's praises, not sure how new this is. http://www.sportal.co.nz/football/english-premier-league/ward-prowse-worried-about-pochettino-exit/46drn2j5l5o71xpu31u418rqf

Players and managers discuss transfers with other clubs. Even club legend MLT entered discussions with other clubs as have some of our current players prior to this window. I would be very disappointed if he had done it without the consent of the club. Even if he has, it doesn't mean he will be offered the role or indeed accept it. Most fans on here are upset that he is flirting with them. He may be playing Spurs to get a better deal, he may be hanging out for assurances about his role and squad, really nobody knows. Would be good to know either way and quickly, although the longer it drags on the less likely he is to go to Spurs IMHO.

You seem uptight, take a break for a week fella. Maybe we will have some news for you when you are back.

Very fond memories of playing for Warsash Wasps. Great setup there

Could be anywhere. Fairly sure the entrance to the Mick Channon Suite has that style of entrance along with just about every office block in London.

Irony is that is we keep MP, Shaw, Lallana, Schneiderlin and Lovren and add 3-4 players we would really challenge for top 6. All these players have long term deals so it really rests on whether KL wants to push on or consolidate.

Surprised nobody picked this up. @SimonPeach: On transfer talk, @LukeShaw3 said: "It's not even on my mind. Transfer talk is completely gone. I'm here to focus on England & England only"

I have it on decent authority that their main sponsor will be reviewing its marketing strategy. http://www.recruiter.co.uk/news/2014/05/stepstone-acquires-jobsite-as-dmgt-exits-digital-recruitment-market/

He has said on several occasions he grew up as an Everton fan.
