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

As if you would know.

Look at Alderweireld who was locked in and contractually obliged to join southampton them refused.

See how many players have left them rather than play under such a world class manager.

Look at the amazing top class players he has signed.

Correct. He also spent a fair amount on new players as well. In any case les reed did the negotiations not him.

he just chose mostly poor players.

Why don't you two get a room and lick each other, you're agreeing with each other on things I haven't said.

People really complaining about finishing 5th, 6th, 7th?. No manager was ever gonna come in and get us in top 4 in 2 seasons. This is gonna take time. Next season the PL is gonna be a seasious task for everyone. It has some of the best managers in the world all competing for top 4.

It's ok mate, you can always blame the fans again if all else fails.

I never blamed the fans...I only said they were contributing to the player's lack of confidence on the pitch.

Perhaps you should start another 'I was right' thread?

What did you expect him to do at Southampton, he was 4 points off cl place. Southampton was playing championship football 4 years ago.
He had the team ripped out when be took over pochettino, he broke Southampton record twice for total points in premiership.

He the best we can get right now,its seems we couldn't get Emery, we didn't have a chance getting Jose while man u wanted him or even Simone who will wait till next season where conte or Jose might be sacked.

There are some other good names like Frank and cocu, Eddie howe but they need more experience and Koeman managed over 600 games with a win rate of 54.8

He probably has that win rate because he was quickly sacked when he was on a downward spiral.

His record at southampton is to get one place higher due to chelsea dropping down last season and us the year before.

Hes just kept them in the same place.

Mate I could manage to that at Ajax, Benfica, and Eindhoven. I'm just saying we are massively overrating Koeman bc he had to sell. That is what every supporter points to. When Moyes could claim the exact same thing but we are too ambitious for Moyes. I just think we should be more ambitious than his Dutch counterpart.

Didnt see your post just responded to tbe opinion quoted.

 

[Tramps_mate]

Get over yourselves you blerts! Being told you were getting Koeman immediately after the Derby capitulation and you'd have been greeting him like the Parisians greeting deGaulle! He's a good manager, speaks Engligh, knows the prem and is a 100% upgrade on Martinez! You are like some arsey little kid, who opens his xbox at Christmas and has a paddy because it is white and he wanted the black one! 99% of you had never heard of Emery or Monshi until two weeks ago!

Yes, but if you knew what some of us knew, you'd be slightly disappointed...

Take a look at how he left Ajax and PSV with the best teams at that time....they nosedived.

AZ and Valencia were disasters.

Feyenoord and Southampton were average stable seasons.

Hes an older Eddie Howe in the Prem.

 

[Groucho]

We could have appointed SAF and people would find something to whinge about

You're probably right. Sadly, that's the nature of football fans mate.

Bitterly disappointed is the default stance.

I was right about you.

Why isn't 7th and 6th ok? And note the upward curve, unlike Martinez who just got worse by the season.

Pochettino only managed 8th in his first full season with Southampton, with a win rate of just over 38%. Koeman has finished 7th and 6th during his two seasons in charge, with a win rate of just over 48% - with a lot of their best players having left.

Everyone entitled to their opinion, we can't all be happy so would u you like us to hire?
