Any idea when the current contract ends? Surprising if there's no option for the club to buy out the remainder of the contract. Everything has its price.

Let's not be too harsh on the Pompey Trust. They were busy ousting the chairman 2 days after the AGM where there was no mention whatsoever about said imminent ousting to worry about the triffling matter of late accounts. #transparent

That page is run by a 22 year old. This is Ronald Koeman's official facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/RonaldKoeman.Official Or maybe I've missed the point? (quite possible)

Elia is ineligible (I've a sneaking suspicion this might have been mentioned once or twice before now)

His job is to annoy and wind people up. As you and others have proved, he's very good at his job

Ah, cheers!

From listening to last night's interview, and reading between the lines, it sounds like he's weighing up whether he stands more chance of getting a sniff of an England call up while being a squad player at a 'top of the table side' (i.e. Saints as things stand) or by being a regular in a side lower down the league. He seemed to be leaning towards the former. The truth is that he probably won't get anywhere near the England set-up in either scenario, sadly.

Just searched and couldn't find any such reports. Links? Thanks

He (briefly) mentions his contract situation in this interview: [video=youtube_share;DgLcqcPLokY]

Adrian Durham in writing provocative article shocker.... (edit: to be fair, he's often sung our praises too)

Embellish....

Thinking out loud, is there any chance Erwin could stay at Saints if/when Ronald eventually leaves (assuming he'll be enticed by the Barcelona or Dutch National Team job at some point over the next few years) and take over as first team manager? Or are Erwin and Ronald an inseparable management team now? Would soften the blow of Koeman leaving if we could keep Erwin and maintain some continuity. As I say, just musing out loud.

You're forgetting that things become worth only 4% of their original value once associated with that cess pit of a football club

A bit like the "told you so" p*ssing contests that crop up whenever things don't go as well as some people were predicting/hoping....?

We need to win 100% of our remaining FA Cup games to win the FA Cup but only 65% of our remaining league games to finish top 4. Any probability experts out there? Edit: actually, if we take every FA Cup game to a replay my statement is a load of old tosh so ignore me as you see fit
