Dig Dig Posted 23 May, 2016 Share Posted 23 May, 2016 Ive read it twice and it indicates nothing of the sort.....you love a negative slant dont you? but in this case you have made it up....why do you do that? Well, you may need to read it again because he hasn't made it up: It is far from certain, though, that Pellegrini will be chosen to oversee the project Moshiri has in mind for Everton and a number of other candidates will be met this week. They include the bookmakers’ favourite, Southampton’s Ronald Koeman, and Frank De Boer, who has just left his position at Ajax. Both men share the same agent, Guido Albers. There is scope to consider whether this implies Koeman will be meeting this week or other unattached candidates but it's fair to say that the article "implies" as meeting.

Gemmel Posted 24 May, 2016 Share Posted 24 May, 2016 (edited) Koeman holds all the aces, in terms of negotiating, but whilst I would love him to extend his contract, I can't see it happening. The player sales of the last couple of years have helped claw back most (From my fag packet maths) of the money that Cortese borrowed, plus the expensive failures in Osvaldo & Ramierz.. Ralph has spoken a number of times that the club will need to be financially self sufficient, so I just can't see a huge war chest being offered up by Katrina. The significant investment to date (That we should be very grateful for) has taken this club to 6th in the Premier league and the value of the club will have risen massively. Additional investment now, would simply be a roll of the dice, that Leicester and even ourselves to a point, have proved isn't necessary and comes with no guarantee of success - See Man Utd & Chelsea. Koeman has been / is very good for Saints, but we should also remember that Saints have been very goof for Koeman. His stock is high and he is probably right on the verge now of getting a "Big" club and almost certainly a shoe in, when the National job becomes available. I hope I am wrong, but my money is on this being his last season (As in the season coming up), the board may even force his hand if fails to commit.

trousers Posted 24 May, 2016 Share Posted 24 May, 2016 (edited) His stock is high and he is probably right on the verge now of getting a "Big" club and almost certainly a shoe in, when the National job becomes available. Could that last bit not work to our advantage, at least in the short to medium term? i.e. what "big club" would want to take a punt on a manager who is likely to be lured away to manage the national team within a relatively short period of time? That said, if the Netherlands start the world cup qualifiers well, and indeed go on to qualify for the world cup, then it would be at least 2 years before the 'shoe in' would occur. I think it all points towards Koeman signing 1 year rolling extensions at Saints until such time the Dutch job comes calling. Unless, of course, after being snubbed by the Dutch FA a couple of years ago, Koeman's priorities have changed whereby he would now turn down the chance to manage the national team in preference for managing a 'big club' for the foreseeable future.

Professor Posted 24 May, 2016 Share Posted 24 May, 2016 The Everton link looks more and more like speculation. For the manager of the 6th-placed club with European football guaranteed, to move to the 11th-placed club wouldn't seem very likely unless something very exceptional was on offer, which doesn't appear to have been the case, especially as several other names are being mentioned. If the information about a contract extension is right that would be great for the club, not only because of Koeman's performance in the job but also because it would imply that his terms for the club to demonstrate ambition had been met. He might be tempted to see out this last year and have these conversations this time next year when other opportunities might be open to him so getting him signed up now would be a good job well done by Les Reed.

We'll have to wait for the detail to come out, but I suspect its a new two year deal. 2 years seems a compromise, means this situation again next summer, but means we can get on with recruitment this summer at least. 4 seasons of one manager would be quite something in the modern climate really, which is sad in itself. But when we do replace Koeman, please remember Saints...we only go to Celtic for players, not managers. Would be no surprise if it ends by mutual agreement next summer; RK fulfills his three years initially agreed, we have 12 months to plan our replacement.

These were the old agents http://www.playersunited.nl/players-united-management-coaches.php If you look at the Players they also look after Pelle. There have been rumours since the BEFORE the last Transfer Windows about a "cut price" deals linking him elsewhere i.e £5m etc back to Italy etc. I wonder if Les and the Agent fell out over the Agents actions over Pelle ? Certainly RonK told Adam Blackmore a couple of weeks he WASNT interested in the Everton position but somebody has been keeping that rumour alive.

Griff Posted 25 May, 2016 Share Posted 25 May, 2016 How about this theory - RK agrees another year on his existing contract taking him to 2018. That means he will then be available after the 2018 season ends and after the world cup to take the Netherlands managers job if it's available opening him up to one of his career goals as a manager.
