It would cost us exactly 5 mil for the Koeman bros and the fitness coach - the saving on the back end of the season is much greater and the message further so.

Might be your wording, but this is completely wrong - if your going to a competitor and you have a long notice you'll be placed on gardening leave immediately and then use the next 6-9 months to make sure you can make as little impact as possible. Remember that footballers (players and staff) are essentially contractors, every other walk of life has perm employees for this exact reason.

It's such an unusual situation because he said he was staying. Poch, Clyne, Spiderman, Shaw, Bale, Wanyama, Mane - none of them had stay they will definitely stay when the have or could go. As I said before - wanting to go to another club isn't an issue, lying about it is. It ****s up our plans - and that's what we do best - have a plan, have a ****ing clue - most clubs don't. It's an attack on the fundamental reason for our recent success.

I'm pretty sure being constructive to your own dismissal isnt constructive dismissal .

They aren't as well organised or run as we are - their list was basically Koeman with Emry as back up. Emry has gone to PSG and with Koeman potentially not on the tables I get the feeling there is no further plans. K Billy insinuated there was another manager we were interested in that no one has mentioned - that's where our strength lies, detail. I imagine if the gardening leave happens, then they would get FdB, but I hope the management are longing this out so they end up getting giggs. Losing players or managers to Liverpool, United & arsenal isn't a big deal - losing players or managers to stoke, palace, Swansea or Everton is as they are the ones competing for the upstart position in the league.

I think the board will say - don't ****ing lie to us and you'll be alright. We aren't going to be stopping players or managers going to top clubs (Barca, Real, United, Bayern, Arse etc..) ever. But do it in the right way - Wanyama, for example, has been quite clear that he wants to go - fair enough we aren't the only club in the world, maybe it is for the money maybe not - but he hasn't been dishonest about it and wasted anyone's time.

Your talking complete nonsense - this would be the best shout as it would likely keep Koeman out of the perm for a while. Everton will have to go for another manager and then Koeman would move to some one else. We need to keep teams like Everton well behind us if we want to progress - so stifling them with this and then them having to make do with their 4/5th choice. Also he ****ing deserves it for doing a lallana - leave with class, a la schneiderlin.

This would be amazing - guaranteeing us a couple of spots above Everton with them having a **** manager next season is clearly going to be worth £5 millions in payments.

If you have to keep saying you're a big club - you are not.

Seems odd that with all their new found wealth and a shiny new manager - they are still below us according for top 4 according to the bookies! http://www.oddschecker.com/football/english/premier-league/top-4-finish

You are dreaming if you think you'll sign VvD or Forster - we have an ageing Centre Italian Centre Forward and a Kenyan Defensive midfield and you can have the pair for £30m.

Hahaha, I bet he ****ing does.

I would go the day after as it shows we are a much better run and better prepared club - rumour has it that this has been in the offing for the last 2 months and if we can go less than 24 hours without a manager and follow it up with some player signings in the fortnight afterwards it would be a strong showing. I'm only thinking AVB as i feel Emry might be a bit unlikely - one of those 2 or FDB would be good - Howe, Pellegrini & Moyes would be a 2nd tier of manager compare to the first 3. If we get Emry that persistent Ever Banega rumour might finally come true! Would be good to do the davis role.

Would be good if we can announce our new manager the day after Everton confirm Koeman.

AVB. Anyone saying he's a bad choice is a complete moron. He got ****ed over at Chelsea and Tottenham, plus he's only 38 and probably would be up for staying at a project for 4-5 years. Moyes, Pellegrini and Howe are bad choices compared - Moyes particularly.

Pretty impressive work from the 2nd agent if that's a true turn of events. Does anyone know what bearing this would have on Wanyama, Pelle, tadic and Mane wanting to leave? Can't see it changing Wanyama but mane and tadic both fell out with him - so maybe they would be more keen to stay now. AVB for me everyday of the week - he's only 38 ffs, and would probably do a 4-5 year stint.

It would make my summer if he rejected them, Unai Emry went to PSG and they ended up with Ryan Giggs.

Renato Sanchez looks one hell of a player. Kyle walker motm - well done glen you ****ing tard.

Red card in a friendly - amazing scenes. They really should allow Portugal to bring a player on for the second half - otherwise it's just going to be embarrassing when we can't score against 10 men.

I think buying success in the league is going to be harder than it was for Chelsea and more recently Man City. A £150 - £200 million transfer budget just isn't going to touch the sides nowadays - City have spent about that on strikers alone over the last 4-5 years to get an Aguero - so essentially you have to do it every year for the next 4-5 to try and buy it. Can't see Everton even with their new found wealth having pockets that deep.

This the 6th/7th striker they've bid for now? They really don't get how buying players works now a days. When they finally get round to going for Benteke and he's number 14/15 on the west ham striker list, I'm pretty sure he'll just end it from depression on the drive down.

No, we can make a run for champions league and win a cup though. Would take a cup over champions league football everyday though.

Hard to compare they are completely different jobs. Mourinho's skill is dealing with the media and getting the best out of superstars - Ronald is excellent at making superstars. If say we needed a manager to keep us in the premier league if we were 19th at Christmas - Pulis or Big Sam would be best for that job. There is no better manager for saints at this point in time that Koeman.

7m up front + 20m if he scores 40 goals next season + 20m if they win the league and + 35m if he is sold on a Wednesday between 17:30 and 20:25. 82m bid lads.

united I would imagine - playing up front with Zlatan would probably be appealing for most players. Martial Zlatan Mane - pretty strong front line.
