    Warrants a separate thread simply because sometimes you feel that no one wants to stay here. Telegraph interview with Koeman where he says he wouldn't leave like Mauricio did. I'm sure he's not planning to stay here forever , but nice to know he is that rare creature in football...a man of honour. However, to be fair to most managers, it is usually clubs dumping them.

    It's nice to know he hasn't one foot out the door and isn't taking players out for meals talking and encouraging them to leave.

    There is definitely an air of class about our Ron.

    Yes cause if Barca come knocking like he wouldn't go.

    More like Barca will not so no danger that be an issue

    He not promise quite a few other things in media earlier in season that still have to come to fruition?!

    I'm just very sceptical when manager or players come out with that crap.

    Especially when there is no likelyhood of what they are spouting happening.

    It's makes good PR for the individual that gullible fans swallow

    I don't think Koeman 'promised' us Champions League football at any time, Boruc.

    Think he said the 'why not' and 'we will finish as high as we can' line. Never made a promise and in fact, early in the season, he played it down. Only joined the possibility side when we had been in top 4 for a long time.

    Laura makes a very good point here. Not to mention it's easy to say that when it's unlikely of happening but if Barca actually do come knocking, then you'll find out if he walks the walk, or just talks the talk.
