Good read this - Tactical Analysis of Ronald Koeman's Southampton:

https://defendingwiththeball.wordpress.com/2015/05/12/ronald-koemans-saints/

Should have a look at the tactical thread @MoutsGoat did, there is a video of him on monday night football that I would recommend to everyone, especially the fumers.

Spurs/United - 35 A
Leicester/Arsenal - 36 A
City/Saints - 41 A
Everton - 55 A

If nothing else we -should- improve defensively. Well if we get a better keeper, another CB and get our full-backs to stop being pants.

So Koeman seems to be now the 8th highest paid manager in world football. Something about that really just feels wrong...

Make that 7th, as Guardiola is both number 1 and number 2 on this list

Saints fans on their forum saying that Koeman "has no ambition but greed".

 

[jceverton]

Anyone read about his losing the dressing room when he managed in Spain, Basically the players thought he was clueless and played there won way

Yes was not good at all, all we can do is hope he's learned from that. Everton will be the first high profile job he's had since then, the pressure will be on. His record doesn't fill me with confidence I sincerely hope he proves my fears wrong.

How many players are they selling this season.... again.

 

[Nymzee]

If we get him and Sammy Lee comes... nah I'm out

 

[neil999]

Joint 4th Best defensive record last season

5th best defensive record in his first season, major defensive signings of van dijk and forster been great success

Like alot of u. I wanted emery.

But make NO mistake, koeman is a great choice too! Sure we can go on about previous club results. But his latest appointment was his best. So IMO he's gotten progressively better with age, lets hope he has some pull in the transfer window nd not just delve into saints players. (although there is a few but will most certainly be overpriced)

Nice Moshi, great swoop.

 

[BlueToff]

We all need to take a deep breath mate. What will be will be.
If Koeman works out then great. If not, at least Mr Moshiri has shown he won't waste time.
Hopefully it is a 3 year deal and not any more.

That's spot on Kit.

But, as an appointment, for right now - all things considered - it's a bloody good start.

I just don't like the football snobbery seemingly creeping into our fanbase...

Nothing wrong with wanting the best. But some people set the bar so high that it's a) unrealistic and b) only going to lead to disappointment!

Thanks, you just saved me looking. I won't let anyone call you lazy mate.

 

[SteRobbo84]

Koeman still 4/9 on Coral if anyone fancies making a few quid. Pretty much 1/5-1/9 everywhere else.

 

[deipnosophist]

It's a good job no buisnessman has ever hired a bad manager to run his football club before, like.

what's a buisnessman?
