Why

And Breath.....

Thank you esk, you've just relieved my fume, I was getting worked up. Pellegrini would be a bad choice IMO.

Really? Could you explain?

 

[Rico Toffee]

He's already spelt it out mate.

If it was one of the unattached managers who were first pick, it'd have happened by now i.e. De Boer and Pelligrini

Which leaves Koeman and Emery. Koeman is obviously the man the board want.

Someone isn't appreciating my hand-crafted comedy.

Need an update on % please @ijjysmith for pellegrini, Moyes, Koeman, Emry and de boer.....

Why

Alright Manuel, you've had your interview and blew it mate, get over it.

 

[Mikeonlythebestwilldo]

Not to my knowledge mate no. The press have run stories on what their club's executives have said, that's all.

Like the daily mail a hour ago anyroad Esk I trust you on your judgement mate

 

[meagher94]

He has just done same as moyes really. In fact moyes got us from a relegation team to champions league so I'd say moyes is better.

It's not as cut and dried as that, you can't just say because they've finished around the same position then they're equal as managers. Koeman has a better win percentage at Soton than Moyes did here, also has a better win percentage over his career than Moyes. He plays better football and is more ambitious than Moyes, and backed with money would probably have more pull in the transfer market than Moyes. Koeman was also a brilliant, decorated player who's won all sorts. Moyes has won the square root of naff all.

It's far from a good comparison.

Pfft. Doesnt the Freight Rover Trophy with Bristol City mean anything anymore?

State of modern football fans.

This league season was a crazy one and we're pretty much elevating Koeman off the back of it. Yeah ok he did a decent job last year but normally, you'd expect Chelsea, Liverpool, and ourselves to finish above them if we all didn't have such waster seasons. That'd have them around 9th-10th and where I think Koemans level is at. This season was an anomaly and if it's business as usual next season that's roughly where Southampton will be.

 

[LAToffee]

Koeman would do me. Safe pair of hands, good eye for a player, knows how to organize an attack and a defense, and can rebuild a team after they lose key players. Think it would be a win-win for both parties: he'd have a better budget with a bigger club; we'd get guaranteed progress. We wouldn't win the league, but I imagine with a decent kitty, he'd get us into Europe. Make it happen Everton.

Koeman had to rebuild Southampton, whereas Moyes for the most part was allowed to keep his team together.

Emery is still my number one choice, but the more I think about it the more I warm to the idea of either Pellegrini or Koeman. Could donly with getting it sorted though so we can crack on with getting some players in

Yeah, that was the other point I wanted to make. He's had his team ripped apart twice and improved them, twice. We ourselves clearly have a rebuild job to do this summer - he's perfect for that.

Just nice to hear fellow blues reasons, not being funny with anyone.

 

[CynicalBlue]

The suspense is killing me so give the job to @The Esk

So moyes took on better team then did he?
Not saying I like moyes but he had harder job getting everton up the league.
