Saint86 Posted 18 June, 2023 Share Posted 18 June, 2023 (edited) Alfie house has tweeted to say he is off on holiday and doesn't expect to miss any announcements...

Koeman leaving Saints was a pretty ridiculous move when you look back at his managerial career since then.

But then the earlier link from the independent says its close. So you think we still have other candidates that we are talking to?

He’s joining, there is no one else, To be fair, it doesn't sound like them being dicks. We approached them when we were in the premier league but seem to be whining about paying the compensation to be paid if he was approached by a premier league club. If we really wanted him, we should have paid the proper money. Edited 18 June, 2023 by egg 4 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You think Jones is not a decent human being or indeed a thinker - on what basis? Think you’re either being facetious or overly harsh. Of course their preferred football styles are quite different, but I believe they are ‘emotional’ characters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
