Osbornes at it tonight , but luckily Andrew Neil won't have any of it . Hopefully lots of undecided watched as Neil was all over him . Loved his face whilst Neil played video of Cameron saying he won't take no for an answer when he asks for an end to free movement & when he tells Turkey how much he wants them in . Great when Osborne says " leave that figure up for viewers to see " , Neil says of course he will and then a caption appears from the treasury select committee advising against using that figure as it was misleading and false . Highlight for me was his line " Turkey won't be joining the EU ...............today ". God how shifty did the pause and then " today" make him look . Oh and Cameron's , no if , buts or maybes on immigration wasn't a promise , it was an ambition . I've just informed Mrs Duck my wedding vows were an ambition .

How much do people think Emery & Pellegrini will want? Seeing as we couldn't get near what Everton are paying Koeman do people really think either one is feasible?

I've always loved Liverpool as a city , and have met some decent Everton supporters , and I'm not going to change my mind just because a few I don't know and will never meet post anonymously on a football forum . Same with Ron , I'm not going to start saying he was shiete just because he's left us. Personally I thought he was exactly what we needed 2 summers ago and suited our club . We were good for each other. Tactically I thought he was pretty flexible, certainly more so than Poch. I liked the back 3 , particularly play Ryan B in there, which many didn't see coming . I did get the feeling he was as intense as he should of been and sometimes we drifted in games . Nowhere near as good football as Poch side, but you can't argue with his 7th and 6 t h finish . I did wonder ( and posted before) if he was Laudrap like and it would all come to a head one day . Will it work at Everton ? Im not so sure, but after Claudio , predicting how managers do is a mugs game . One thing I'd certain , it's gonna be tough to break the top 4 next season . Liverpool , Chelsea utd, will be better .

Whatever the result Cameron has run a shocking campaign again. He should have won an outright majority against Brown , but blew it . Ran an awful Scottish independence campaign , then won a general election on the back of labours unpopularity in Scotland ( partly down to the aforementioned campaign) & the lib dumbs getting blamed for the coalition . He's now running a campaign totally demeaning to his office , making Harold Wilson's one look positively statesmanlike. He's then going to bog off back to kitchen suppers in chipping Norton , leaving his buddy Gideons dream in ruins .

Quique Sanchez Flores or Eddie Howe for me

Remain MP's not accepting the will of the people . If the people vote out , they'll do so on the basis of ending free movement

You can take the **** , but the Everton blokes saying its a done deal have been right , or am I missing something ?

Great man and a fantastic boxer . I'm old enough to remember how frightening George Foremsn was , he'd basically murdered Joe Frazier , yet Ali took it all in the jungle and then knocked him out . Such a character , yet so humble in later years as he fought a horrendous disease . Love his quote about the war " it's the white man , sending a black man , to fight the yellow man , in the name of a land they stole from the red man "

And what would this forum be like if we got taken over ?

Anyone who doesn't think Ron will be the next manager of Everton is a complete and utter **** wit

I posted in the Koeman thread when he arrived that is been drinking in a Dutch bar in Alberfuria the summer Ron arrived . The general opinion from the owners & a couple of Dutch locals ( the entertainment was also a Dutch guitarist ) was that Koeman was ok , but Pelle had basically rescued his career . Also claimed that Erwin was a fantastic coach , and we'd struck lucky getting him with Ron . They seemed surprised that he was willing to take a back seat to Ron

Id take him . Similar to Koemans record , some high points and some so so seasons . Would Koeman have done better at Watford ? Seems to fit our model .

Boscombe didn't have any money until the Russian . Howe over achieved before that

Boscombe won the championship , so how did Adkins do better

Perfectly reasonable . Eddie Howe is their Ted Bates or Lawrie Mac , and I know lawrie left , but he didn't go as soon as someone flashed the cash . It's going to be much harder emotionally for Howe to leave Boscombe than Koeman to leave us . If we wanted a manager who isn't using us as a stepping stone we should have stuck with Nigel

Ideal for who ? The English plumbers who have to cut wages to compete with him , the English parents who can't get their kid in their first choice school, the English family who could be living in the house he's in, or the Polish nation that educated him at great expense before he ****ed off and started paying taxes that funded our health service rather than theres .

Materface is a skate

Spot on. I would add one more thing to it regarding the replacement . Had CR been appointed here instead of Leicester , this place would have been in meltdown . Les & Ralph would have been called all sorts of things. Let's judge the new guy on the pitch , rather than before a balls been kicked

I would take him . The point I was making was Crook , when asked about his Boscombe connections said something along the lines of , it's not like he's got skate ones . In fact he has, so my point was a so called expert , whi kept saying " the fans this an the fans think that " , was pretty clueless

But Crook was making the point that he had Bournemouth connections not Skate ones , so supporters would accept him

I thought it was Hawksbee who said " he won't get Everton higher than 6th " rather than they won't get 6th . Also thought Howe was his suggestion rather than Les' . But to be honest I didn't listen too hard .Once he said that Saints fans will accept him despite his Boscombe connections , contrasting that with Portsmouth connections , I put him in the clueless camp . Howe is a skate and he didn't appear to know that .

Why sack him when we would probably be due some compo if he left for Everton . If they want him they'll need to pay up .

You can't restrict it from the EU

Do we really want a manager going into the last year of his contract with no intention of signing a new one . Even Sir Alex said letting the players know he was leaving was a mistake and that's why the second time round he suddenly announced it at the end of the season . If the club take the view that he signs or goes , and have made that clear to Ron , then it's perfectly understandable that his agent will listen to offers before committing to us . In fact , he wouldn't be much of an agent if he didn't . People need to take the emotion out of it and look at it in a cold calculating way . Is it better for us to have Ron running down his contract or a new guy with a 3 or 4 year one .

I see remain are trying to frighten pensioners by claiming their pensions will go down . Drill down into the treasury report on this and the claim is based on the pound going down and therefore inflation will go up. If you're on a fixed income you'll obviously have less money in your pocket if inflation goes up . Only problem with this , is that the Government have set a triple lock on pensions . This triple lock protects pensions against inflation. Shameful from the treasury , no wonder a modern chancellor set up the OBR because he claimed that the treasury were too political and their forecasts " can't be trusted " . Who was that chancellor?
