Can you provide some specific, factual information on how he is behaving?

That's a groundless rumour. However I have heard his agent is travelling up there at the moment.

And there's Christmas lights. And no earlobes. NO EARLOBES! How do we know it is even Ron??!!!

I for one want this to continue for as long as possible. I am loving the knicker-twisting that posters are getting into. Haven't seen so much rumour and speculation since Jim fingered Sarah J that time after PE at Perins. Apparently Paul was going to hit him with a brick.

Pow! Resigning from the Europa league. It's the only thing that can help us.

He has got a good beard. When did we last have a manager with a tidy beard?

We should request removal of our qualification for Europa. Really, it's for the best. There's no way we can deal with the extra games and get the 12-18 points we'll need to avoid being bottom at Christmas.

It has to be luck though: what else can it be when we are run like a cheap B&B? An ice hockey-playing chairman, a disinterested owner, a weak FD and a failed Charlton manager. Sleepwalking into relagation we are. No doubt about that. #themeltdownishappening

Hard to remember something that didn't happen. Guan did post that during our mid season 'slump' the board presented Koeman with a list of things they were unhappy about. There were no 'ITK' facts presented about what was on that list. So any 'memories' you have of it being about young players and shop windows have come from your own self. Based on your final sentance.....can you confirm where you got the news about Les giving Everton permission to speak to Ronald?

Some nice examples of emotional changes based on mind wandering and assumption. It's brilliant the things our minds do to us when we let them run away in themselves. As Prof. Paul Gilbert (noted neuroscientist, mindfulness expert and author) says: "It's not our fault. It's just down to the brain that nature has given us".

Well it's living up to expectations so far. Keep up the good work.

Get down to Curry's and grab a replacement keyboard then! In for the long haul...

Saints Eye Giggs as their Next Manager. We need to start this as a rumour. Really. It has everything needed to get traction and possibly cause various meltdowns in various corners of the internet.

No work today: check. Comfy chair: check. Plentiful supply of tea & coffee: check. Strong internet connection: check. Popcorn and other assorted snacks: check. Recently refurbished F5 button: check. Ability to smile at peoples' ability to rant over rumour and hearsay: check. Okay - I'm ready for my Friday.

Just thinking how funny it would be if he signed a new Saints contract later today.

A beautiful summary of the last few pages. Anything else, is at this stage, the product of peoples minds. Along with any feelings of annoyance, anger etc.

Where does FFP sit with this? Guaranteed new stadium?! Hmmmmmm. Not sure moving stadium is quite that straightforward. And anyhow, is that a factor really? Is Ron a closet architect? Bit of a strange article really.

Article says that if we agree to a deal Ron and agent will go to Merseyside this weekend. But aren't they there already?

I'm curious why there isn't a similar scale meltdown on the other Saints forum?

And what, specifically, has changed since then?

So what are the factual updates in the past few hours? Has it been confirmed that someone has gone up to Liverpool? Do we know who? (Original report said the agent, yet some here are saying Ron). Anything further on the Liverpool News article that said the owner and chairman are in London today anyway? Or are we flapping over rumours and hearsay?

This bit appears to be added to what was actually stated by Guan. He mentioned 'a possible new direction', and that KBS knew more. He didn't provide any context or make any comment 'with regards to managers etc'.

"How can a bunch of adults(?) on an internet forum have such a flap about a rumour? And does it take the biscuit?"

From the Les Reed video........the most recent facts we've been passed. Taking the view that these are the facts, and that Les wasn't bending the truth or knowingly misleading us. There was also the newspaper article where talks were 'pleasant'. Until I see something factual from a credible source then for me the sky is still where it should be.

I am curious that we have had no word from people spotting him at airports. When SRL headed up there there were photos, conversations at Soton airport and allsorts. Is anyone going to volunteer to stake out his house?
