New Everton Manager

[kenada_blue]

It was - Koeman's record was a bad one, the club just ignored it because what he'd done with Poch's side. A lot of people on here correctly said he was no good before he was appointed.

Ronald Koeman discussion

Everton have this morning confirmed the appointment of Ronald Koeman as manager on a three-year contract to June 2019. Manager Ronald Koeman said: “I am very excited to be Everton manager. I believe in the Club, in the team, in the fans and in our ability to achieve things in the future...

Tells a different story on here. It's only when he spent £300mill and built a team of slugs where we struggled to win a game, is when his record at Southampton came into view.

The majority were more than happy him coming in over Martinez

If I recall it was welcomed with open arms as a relief from Martinez. We finished 8th and backed him to move forward.

Koeman and Walsh is the biggest mistake we've made as a club since Mike Walker IMO. But bringing him in at the time wasn't clueless.

Moshiri did his usual and threw money at Koeman - he never actually wanted to join us and his attitude after he joined showed that.

Theres 100s of alternatives for anyone with a bit of sense

Oh I agree… but if it’s between these two, I’ll carry Nuno to Goodson

Koeman was a tit. But we judge managers on them having to adore the club or results?

He was given all he wanted to a degree and fell on his own sword. He had no excuse and didn't deliver. So is that clueless? He got us back to some cohesion in his first season then completely lost the plot when Rom and Barkley left.

I don’t think he should ever have been appointed because the only reason he came was because we offered him ever increasing amounts to join. Yes motivation is important.

look at Ancelotti to reinforce that point.

 

[blue to the bone]

Get Steve Clarke in .

The lads go every game, home and away mate.

If they felt doing that necessary then i am fully behind them.

Not me

He went to bigger club than Southampton and had money to spend. Of course he's gonna move.

He got us from 11th to 7th with 62 points to which only Carlo has got close to. So actual management delivers more than love for a club. If it wasn't, give Dunc the job.

The issue was having faith that him and Walsh would rebuild and push forward.

 

[Kantareller]

Southgate willbe available soon

 

[Davidoff]

We’ve got this far without one

He added Mane and Van Dijk to Poch’s side to be fair.

He changed quite a few things tactically at Saints as well (Poch was actually rather a one trick pony). But the signs of a stubborn attitude and maintaining a distance towards players were there.

I remember some fans here welcoming the 'discipline' he brought to the table. The Saints job was his first go at the big time, he bought in to the project for a bit but they fannied around with trying to extend his contract and he saw a big pile of cash appearing over the horizon. I suspect he never 'got' EFC despite what he said at the time.

He was/is a good coach, poor man manager and rarely admits mistakes (even to himself).

His 7th was lukaku and nothing else.

the measure of the man can be found when that outlet was taken away from him.

Exactly. So the main point was that it wasn't clueless to employ him, he brought cohesion from Martinez. The issue was him failing when he backed to the hilt.

And least we forget the "we'd be 7th without Lukaku's goals anyway" brigade.

Another standard evertonaian response to when someone leaves us

 

[Frenk]

Might as well add Southgate into the mix.

 

[Bazlar]

Get Steve Clarke in .

We were talking about that earlier. The man has been a coach everywhere but not had the chance
