I am not sure about that if I am honest with you.
There was absolutely nowt about Koeman's managerial record which justified Moshiri's obsessive headhunting of the former at any and all costs....nowt.
And we are not just speaking with hindsight.
There was a great sense of meh on here when the speculation was mounting over his imminent appointment and people were lol when Moshiri made his ludicrous claim that the "world's great managers were being drawn to the north west of England" and proceeded to name check Pep, Jose, Klopp and......Ronald
In short, the current scenario could well have been envisaged by anyone taking a look back at Koeman's career over the past decade.
The Valencia fiasco, which was linked by
@Groucho earlier today.
The long winless runs at Saints, which of course he replicated here last season.
The buck stops with Moshiri.
It was his call, his relentless pursuit and of course, it is his money so he gets to decide if he sticks or twists.
