Publicly it would be very easy for Ronald to stay as none of Saints, Ron or Everton have said anything official on the matter so far. So Les could just say: "As per the video, the detail has now been agreed and Ron has signed for another couple of years. No delays or issues, we always knew that Ron was on holiday so that's all good." Everton wouldn't say anything as they'd look like right mugs and they'd just move onto their next target. Job done. Nothing to see here. People on here would know (or believe) differently but people would still get behind him as there really is nothing concrete to say anyone has done anything untoward.

What is the point of Sterling. The sooner he's off and Vardy is on the better. Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk

Both

Don't know if this has already been mentioned but when asked about favourites for the job, MLT on Talk****e this morning suggested that it was too early for favourites as the club wouldn't be at that stage yet but would be doing their due diligence before deciding who to talk to.

Of course they were the first club to install under soil heating and dugouts. The weathers so **** and cold up there they had no choice.

Looking forward to the slow desperate decline ala Villa when their new messiah realises that money alone isn't the way to win anything, gets bored, loses interest and the money dries up. They're one of the many teams of the past that tasted some success and think it'll continue ad finitum. Good luck with that. Enjoy it while it lasts. Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk

Perfect.

Another vote for Ruddock. I still remember the 92 (I think) ZDS Cup Final when Ruddock and Stuart Pearce went in for a full on tackle. I swear a small mushroom cloud arose and through the dust both players got up, brushed themselves down and just got on with the game. Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk

That's just a random selection of people... nothing to suggest FdB or Les are there. Looks more like the end of a fag break at some corporate event. Chap with his sleeves rolled up at the back, younger fella looking at his phone and a few in suits. Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk

This is probably one of many

I think that tweet is crap. I can't believe for one minute that Koeman would ever have agreed a 5 year contract. A rolling 1 year contract of a two year deal I could believe but he's got his sights set on a higher prize so talk of a five year contract, IMHO, is well wide of the mark. I wonder who's fed him that info and what their motivation was.

This. When I read that tweet I thought it was bullocks. He's not some spotty teenager who can be turned by an agent just like that. Koeman knows what he wants. It's more likely that the previous agent wasn't delivering so he's changed to one that will. Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk

I concur.

Is that Christmas decorations in the background too?

I'm sure thats exactly how Koeman operates. Talking openly about his transfer plans and plans for his own future.

Programme on BBC1 now about selling 'legal highs'. It's based on a dealer in Portsmouth which probably explains why they all support the skates. They're all high as a kite and imagine they're watching Champions League football. Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk

I think it was SM that suggested it could be reformed from outside. Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk

If we're not in the EU how are we going to reform it? We'll have no influence on what the EU does at all.

I don't think he was talking about a feeder club, more a club that we could loan out players to in Europe to experience European football. Seems like a great idea. Sent from my SM-T810 using Tapatalk

It's all a bit quiet on the Koeman contract front. Maybe there's no change and he's seeing out his contract?

Brilliant. That would be superb.

Oooh, that'll be good. Free cruise for season ticket holders! ?
