Reed answers the 'first' question with "I think, again,..." as if he's already answered a similar question. Just a hunch that the interview they've put up on YouTube is an extract of a longer interview and they've just put up the bit they thought was most interesting. Anyway, no doubt I'm in the 'thinking too hard about it' camp so pinches of salt all round.

I think that could be because the clip appears to be an extract from the middle of a longer interview and his answer seemed to be a reiteration and/or elaboration of an earlier answer. That earlier answer to a similar question may well have been more definitive than the one in the clip. In other words, we don't have the context of the full interview to judge the answer to the question in isolation. Possibly.

My natural state of mind on anything like this is one of pessimism. That way, if this turns out to be a 'get it out in the open' last roll of the dice by Reed to convince Koeman to stay and it fails, then I won't be as disappointed had I approached it with optimism.

Could that last bit not work to our advantage, at least in the short to medium term? i.e. what "big club" would want to take a punt on a manager who is likely to be lured away to manage the national team within a relatively short period of time? That said, if the Netherlands start the world cup qualifiers well, and indeed go on to qualify for the world cup, then it would be at least 2 years before the 'shoe in' would occur. I think it all points towards Koeman signing 1 year rolling extensions at Saints until such time the Dutch job comes calling. Unless, of course, after being snubbed by the Dutch FA a couple of years ago, Koeman's priorities have changed whereby he would now turn down the chance to manage the national team in preference for managing a 'big club' for the foreseeable future.

Lord knows what Tapatalk has done with the flippin' quotation marks

Thought this was worthy of its own thread, rather than being buried in the 'Summer Transfer Targets' thread. Edit: summer, not Sumner, FFS

This

Yep, time to stop supporting a club and manager that are so happy that Utd won. That's it. I'm done with Saints (Not that I was ever a fan in the first place)

Yep, probably the first thing he'll mention I reckon... [emoji38]

'Professor' won't be happy...even Southampton Football Club "are Man Utd fans"....

Full time. Europa Group stage here we come. Get in!

Quality time wasting from De Gea

Oh dear. Lol. Yes!!! Utd lead!!!!!!

Were you happy with the 'favours' from the teams that finished below us in the league thus allowing us to finish above them? Other teams' results affect our outcome every season. Why should the result of this game be treated any differently?

A heads-gone moment for Smalling there.

In one's imagination is the only place Van Gaal would say that. Come on Utd!

Lol @ Joel Ward

Equaliser!!!!!

Oops...

Palace goal!! Puncheon!!!
