Wouldn't really want to poach Howe and do to Bournemouth what Everton are doing, be nice to take the moral high ground over Everton and employ someone out of work who can do a job, there's a few of them.

Saved me writing this!

Has he gone yet?

LvG?

FdB is the early favourite with the bookies, With AvB and Howe just behind. I think we need more interest in managers we can abbreviate.

7 years of pure luck. Who would have thought it. Hope we're lucky next year.

Seriously? He's overseen our progression for 7 years and you call him a waste of space? You need to reel in your emotions. Ridiculous comment.

Yeah because he would worry what some people on a forum say. We'll move on, we're a decent club with an excellent set up and we'll attract a decent manager

He's been around in different guises. Look at saintrobbies posts you'll find them very similar.

Be a great programme about how saints will never get past 6th and how great Everton are. Luckily I'm off to Southampton beer festival and will miss most of tonight's shiz.

Gone very quiet on here and the bookies prices have stuck for a few hours. Calm before the storm...

He's not going to be privy to this sort of shiz so they won't make an appearance.

Guan gets info from kBilly and his info will be restricted to tiny snippets. The majority of stuff that goes on behind closed doors at saints stays behind closed doors

Yep

Surely Koeman wouldn't be allowed to talk unless the club gave him permission.

Even if he goes they won't finish above us next season and we'll have someone decent lined up. We're an attractive proposition.

Still 4/9 with some bookies. Everyone lump 900 on for 400 profit. It's obviously done, easy money.

It's the same weirdos who seem to think our owner has done a poor job and love an excuse to slate her and the board even though we have had 7 years of improvement.

Some of the dregs are starting to get in on it http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3621956/Everton-not-giving-Ronald-Koeman-Southampton-try-convince-manager-future-lies-south-coast.html

Hasn't Emery come and said why would he give up champions league for Everton? If Everton are throwing money around why don't they go for Van Gaal, he'd love it there.

It's just a scratch

@ECfeelingblue on twitter stating Koeman's agent is heading to Everton to discuss talks. Not sure why they'd know though, just a transfer rumour account with 17k followers

On the flip side I remember looking at odds of players joining us and out of the blue Austin went from something like 6/1 to 4/9 within the space of an hour and then we announced him. So you can't dismiss changes in the odds when it starts dropping like a stone. I won't worry though until he goes massively odds on.

Damn the mirror sport. Let's brace ourselves.

I asked oddschecker and there are no odds, they also said he wouldn't dislodge Long anyway.
