Next manager discussion (poll reset 21/05/2016)

[EFC85]

You lot are utterly insane, he's clearly a great manager and more than anything whatever Moshiri has told him in the meeting has convinced him to leave the Europa league and a very successful/good career at Southampton behind to come and manage us

 

[MartSlinger]

If it's Koeman I'm happy.

Be disappointed if you dont dish it out to all the Saints fans you work with.

 

[Debaser]

All over ESPN here in the US now. Very close apparently.

LOL. GOT is like light years ahead of every media outlet lol

 

[deipnosophist]

Link mate?

No mate, I was asking if anyone knew whether there was carnage occurring ... I forgot the question mark.

 

[ToffeeDoug]

Just sorting the defence out, being pragmatic and displaying some game management craft is worth 20 pts before we even kick a ball.

 

[Hangleton]

Don't mind Koeman - but the real excitement and big change for the club would be Monchi. Is this still on?

 

[matty1878]

Even then why?

What club has he ever rebuilt/started from scratch and made into a success?

Gutted here I really thought this was it we are going places but if this is true then we may as well have got Hughes or allerdayce in ffs.

I don't were having a massive clear out and wants koeman to do it? Shane long upfront lol. Moshri needs to say why he wants an average manager

 

[Neiziro]

Dear lord, lads on Saintsweb really are wetting their knickers now.

Southampton 1 - 6 Liverpool


Sorry, I want to be happy, and Koeman is a decent enoug choice but it's going to take me a while before I can see past that

Can't lose sight of this as a quality appointment, despite any sadness at not getting Emery.

Outside of the obvious top tier, Koeman is basically the next best manager available with PL experience.

Regardless of now being richer than them, we can attract better players than Southampton (they'd never have singed a lukaku for example). He brings youth through, plays a good balance of attacking football with solid defence, and is used to working with a DoF.

He's also a huge name in European and world football, which should attract some names.

Before the Europa League Final, Koeman was top of my list, and I'm excited at the prospect of him managing us.

Seems a likeable chap.

And another thing - I recall a game last season when he made a sub after about half an hour because he recognised his plan A wasn't working. We've been crying out for that sort of decisiveness and ruthlessness.

 

[everton2004]

If it turns out to be true, get behind him and give the guy a chance. This is all part of Moshiri's grand plan

I'm buying a Koeman shirt for dress down next week if it's confirmed.

Get a grip

 

[Groucho]

Absolute carnage on the Southampton forums...?

Their fans are also going strange on Twitter.

Apparently they think they're a massive club.

They're decent, don't get me wrong, but they're not big. Would the Everton manager leave, mid-contract, for Southampton? I think not.

Well wouldn't it be overmars now?
