If its luck then the decision won't matter at all...

http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/20-most-promising-young-managers-6070875 Take your pick from the top 20 most promising young managers guys. This article is from Nov 2015 so looks pretty funny in places still a few interesting managers I've never heard of.

Surely if he leaves Stoke for us he would prove he is not a club stayer......

Really don't think we should worry about getting a manager for the long term. What is the average shelf life of a Pl manager 2 seasons? No club other than Man U and Arsenal have had long term managers in recent times. Get someone who ambitious and motivated to a good job if they move on a couple of seasons latter so be it.

Worth reading this interview with Ralph again. http://m.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/14428583.Saints_chairman_Krueger_reveals__excellent__talks_with_Koeman/ This bit is important I think "we don’t want anybody here who doesn’t believe they can grow in the role that they have, and that begins with our leaders on the first team, and that’s Ronald."

So Vardy is worth 22 million and Everton want 65million for Lukaku....

Be interesting to go back and see if those upset about Koeman leaving now where the same ones getting their knickers all twisted back in the mid season slump.

That won't happen...

His agent wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't get Ron a chat with Everton..

If Vardy goes that pretty much kills the idea a club like us can get CL and keep our best players...

Doesn't work like that for me we could have kept previous players and managers and achieved less. The club keeps moving forward and improving and so I see not point in 'what if'..

Well just put perspective on this the mirror are reporting arsenal have bid for Vardy..

How are we failing to achieve what could have been?

Well if that's the case I assume the club are happy to let Koeman go.

Really? never been under any illusions of our place in the football world myself...

TBF his agent wouldn't be doing his job if he didn't meet with interested parties. However if the tweet above is true perhaps things are not nearly as far advanced or clear cut as some press reports have been making out.

Not convinced by AVB but better than Eddie Howe or Giggs .

I assume the source of the info would be obvious at a sensitive time...and drop someone at the club in it.

Well when we get to two summers when we sell lots of players I'll start to worry so far we've had one.....

Five of those were in one summer never happened before hasn't happened again. We are no more a selling club than anyone else bar one mad summer.

No hypocrisy from me I don't want Howe Bournemouth can keep him.

We sold two players last summer, none so far this summer. This idea we are a massive selling club is a myth that is becoming fact, in some peoples minds, based on one bad summer.

JWP would probably love it...

They would if the club aren't that worried about him staying. Truth is if Koeman goes to Everton this summer it means the club aren't to bothered about him staying.

Fair enough but please tell me we are looking for better than Eddie Howe....
