De Boer probably very likely.

Murat Yakin? Wasn't he strongly linked when we got Koeman?

A truly horrendous article.

We don't know what we offered him, the end of the day if it's about money then us increasing it to still be less than Everton's won't make a jot of difference.

3rd highest I think? I'm sure i read that somewhere. See, Koeman has done a great job for us. I'd love him to stay, absoloutley love him to stay - but paying him that sort of wage is obscene and it's overpaying, I'm glad we don't do that. If anything, doing that would show us to be weaker.

Nah, it's clearly happening/happened. Just want it done so we can get on with sorting our setup.

Oh no, it's over! Everything has crashed down in front of us today.

Yeah, it scream of PR spin - club couldn't do any more, we look great etc etc. But.....what are we supposed to do? are we bending over, or are we being sensible by deciding not to overpay on a manager who isn't 100% committed long term? I think if that's the case and his head was seemingly turned by a club lower down in the league due to $$$, it kinda says something about him more than it does about us - in my opinion.

Sounds like a club PR Plant - nothing we could have done etc etc. Anyway, let's just get this done so we can get on with the next one.

It will be a shame if it happens, but i think we've proven over the last 2 years that we can respond to set backs, we've got a structure in place that will enable us to go again whatever happens. If it happens, it happens. Bring on the new manager and a fantastic opportunity in Europe next year. Toby wasn't our player, cannot include him in any exodus. Of course morgan and Clyne were losses, but it wasn't of the level as the year before - hence that year being a 1 off really.

If they're not good enough, then there's not much point in embracing them. We've been there before.

1 season. Don't bring it over two seasons. We lost 2 players last year, that was it. 1 freak pre-season, don't make it into more than it was.

The only clubs you could honestly say who could keep their best players, are Barca and Real. Even Bayern's best player, Lewendowski, wants to talk to Real Madrid. Ronaldo wanted to talk to real madrid. Bale did. Suarez wanted to talk to Barca the list is endless, no one is immune really.

All over SSN now re: Jamie Vardy. ''Arsenal would like to speak with Leicester'' Bless. Bloody football.

He is an absolute mental. Needs help.

Joe Prince-Wright ‏@JPW_NBCSports 7m7 minutes ago From what I'm hearing #SaintsFC fully expect Ronald Koeman to be in charge for at least next season. No change in his situation as it stands

I still think it's incredibly hard to read much into last night, it was a weird game. But we do seem to still be shoehorning players into positions they don't play for their clubs, as per.

Or they've both looked at their bank balances. Yes, the board talk a good game, and they have produced a very, very good game over the last 7 years. They know what they're doing.

Gotta feel for them though, they've broken the pecking order and rose to the top, yet still seemingly lose their best talent. There's nothing the likes of us or Leicester can ever really do to change that, it's the order of the way in the PL and will always be.

You need to stop posting mentalist posts.

Yeah, apparently he has a £20/25m release clause if a CL club bids for him. where was that tweet?

It is if he's put us in the situation, shows he isn't really committed. It's not about the money for me, it's about having someone who buys into what the club are doing and wants to be here long-term. That's what it's all about and the outcome of this will confirm that.

At least Koeman will have his pick of women, they're a catch up there.

Kinda sums up Liverpool in general, and their ''we're amazing at everything' attitude. Minutes silence for just about everything. Liverpool, oh Liverpool, oh what would we do without that City.
