revolution saint Posted 29 August, 2014 Share Posted 29 August, 2014 There's no way he will leave, as if he did, the club would have made one of the worlds great former players look an absolute prize prat. I cannot see someone as staunch and direct as Koeman taking too kindly to being made to look like a fool... That's why it cannot happen now. The repercussions are much more than us just losing a player. There are ways to make an excuse round selling Morgan, and even if there weren't annoying the fanbase for a moment would probably only be a short term problem. Besides which, if this forum is representative of the fanbase, then some leaked rumours painting Morgan in a bad light would soon change opinion. Fans are pretty fickle and very willing to believe anything that is negative towards the club. As for annoying Koeman - I'm sure they'd live with that, or promise him the funds in the next window. As an aside I love how people think they "know" players or managers just from what they see or hear in interviews. Anyway, not really having a pop at you S-Clarke - just the trend for people to see something an interview that they want to see. As an example I'm sure someone commented yesterday that when talking about the Italian winger we're linked with Koeman had a "twinkle in his eye". Talk about clutching at straws but that's not too far away from assuming that Koeman is direct and staunch based on a few bland interviews.

derry Posted 29 August, 2014 Share Posted 29 August, 2014 Yes it does when you're calling someone a liar. Nobody was lying. It was a difference of opinion over who said what. I'm not even sure what happened was Sibley said it before the match and Koeman after. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Colinjb Posted 29 August, 2014 Share Posted 29 August, 2014 Think Koeman's unfollowed all our players on twitter, seems odd. Considering how he was jumped on by the media for posting a picture of a training pitch it seems perfectly sensible that he would scale back his activity on there.

SaintRobbie Posted 30 August, 2014 Share Posted 30 August, 2014 Morgans first attempt to show how much he loves the fans? Frankly, he's as bad as Lallana. Might have taken longer but he (& another club) will have done our Boardroom like kippers if he leaves. I don't expect a compensating fee. Still, hoping I'm wrong and he stays a Saint. He won't though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jasonb Posted 30 August, 2014 Share Posted 30 August, 2014 Excellent interview which had me smiling from ear to ear during his little recount of the last few weeks. An apology to the fans and a renewed commitment to the cause. Whatever his future holds no one can say he hasn't acted with true professionalism (that tweet apart). I hold him in the greatest of regard and more so following that honest interview. Wonderful to hear Morgan referring to the privileged position footballers find themselves in relation to others less fortunate around the world. A lesson I wish others would heed. Perhaps a cynic will argue he is saying all the right things and I do still believe Morgan will play for a top 4 side in the very near future. However, he is a great guy and is still ours so fully expect a storming season from him. Koeman must be delighted with Morgan's reaction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Its in his interests to play well this season, and it benefits us. Lets just enjoy him for one more season. Top player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
