Arrrggh, To all those that use the "SAFE" option excuse.......

What IS that. There is no SAFE option. Every single manager on this planet would come with a certain 'risk'. Until the man is in place, made a few signings, got some results (good or bad) we just DONT KNOW.

Does anyone really disagree with that?
 

Thanks mate.

Being realistic an appointment above Koeman's level, Mourinho, Simeone, and even perhaps Emery whilst we all hoped for it and there was genuine interest from Emery, was too great a stretch given where the club has found itself after years of no investment and the onfield performance of the last two years.

Moshiri's plans have obviously excited Koeman, if we can get Monchi alongside then we've got something special to help us fulfill our ambitions.

@The Esk So did Emery ultimately turn us down despite his interest or did we end up choosing Koeman above him?
 
I put Jose as first choice. Then when he was out of running I chose Koeman. Main reason for him rather than De Boer was the Prem experience he already had. Didnt want Pellegrini and obviously not Moyes. But when the Emery option started to brew I sort of warmed to that albeit with a bit of trepidation because he doesn't know the league or speak good English. His Europa league exploits being a massive positive though.
But if Koeman is confirmed I'll take that. Whilst not spectacular its a big enough upgrade on Martinez to kick start me back into a good feeling about our chances of moving up the league. If Monchi or Overmars follow as DOF that'll make it better again in my view.

Long and Kone upfront?

But seriously, would be happy with the Koeman appointment. Even if you're not, Southampton fans and neutrals heads will be gone. Carry on brothers X
