Player Valuation: £10m
On reflection, yeah if he arrived then why not, he tends to over perform with his squads, knows the league and Europe very well - and tends to do well in Europe to boot, gets his players working their arses off or they won't be playing (which is something we need), personal level can't stand him, but thats down to comments he's made when the rs manager, and lets face it - the reality of the small club thing was right in the way we have acted for 30 years ultimately. In fact Koeman last season basically said the same without saying it the same way with his comments about Lukaku moving on etc - but no one kicked up a fuss at the time about it really.
Plus point, we would find out very very quickly if the club is backing the mangers with him in charge as he has never been one to cover a boards arse on lies
The small club comment obviously was an annoyance but lets be honest had any EFC manager said similar about that shower they'd be lauded. He lives on Mersyside so knows full well we're not a small club and also how intrinsically woven into the local fabric we are.
