Hi, Everton fan here...Here's my take on all this malarky.
1. Koeman was always Moshiri's number 1 target. However initial approaches were rejected. The season had just finished everyone at your club was on a high including Koeman. Life was sweet.
2. We started looking elsewhere and received indications that Emery was open to talks - so our focus shifted and talks with his agent got underway, however noise was also coming out of Milan and Paris. He was very much in demand and I guess he wasn't sure exactly where his future lay. However talks still rumbled on.
3. Koeman changed agencies and they entered talks with your chief exec about contract extensions and future plans/funding. Life was still sweet.
4. From what I understand Koeman wasn't happy with what was offered financially and more importantly the longer term plan. Life was now getting interesting.
5. His agent made contact with Everton FC and initial talks began - Moshiri outlined exactly where he wants Everton to be in 3-5 years and how he will structure the club to achieve those goals and more importantly, the role that he wanted Koeman to play in our re-birth. - Koeman was buzzing off this both financially and and more importantly off the plan going forward.
6. We didn't snatch Koeman from you. Your club lost him with their lack of ambition. Southampton FC have reached their glass ceiling now - we are about to smash ours into a thousand pieces.
