would be gutted if we got koeman

Why gutted? He's not a bad manager

I'd be a bit deflated after thinking we'd be getting Emery, but not gutted

Get over Jose it was never going to happen!

Tbf I'm not worried because we are in a different era now where underperformance will not be tolerated so Koeman is going to be on a short leash. Which is right really remember how ruthless John Moores was.

I'm all for integrating youth, don't get me wrong on that, as it's one of the things I value the most in a manager. However, if that youth isn't good enough/ready to be integrated it becomes an invalid point to me.

Saying FdB and Cocu have a better record at it is a bit too easy for my liking. Koeman gave a lot of youngsters their debut at Feyenoord, but don't forget the Dutch league is a far lesser and demanding league than the PL. That is physically, mentally and intensivity wise. As a coach you have to perform or you're out. Bringing through youth while at the same time maintaining and living up to the demands of set by your board and pressure from the fans makes that a very difficult decision.

In the end I believe in the principle: ' if you're good enough, you're old enough'. A good manager (interested in yout development) will call that correctly.

But that bit in parenthesis is quite a hefty proviso DT, for example Mourinho is an excellent example of a good manager who clearly has no interest. Just have a nagging feeling Koeman might not have that much interest either but only time will tell!

I like the guy, he comes across well and he's done well under constraints at Soton. I really hope he's a success and proves a lot of people wrong.

But then there were people like Moyes that played his favorites to teh detriment of the team. Not a chance in hell was Phil Neville a competent player in ANY position in the last 2-3 years of his career and, yet, there he was, starting in almost every single match.

In the end we got the manager I backed from the beginning. Only switched to Emery because I felt Koeman was holding us for ransom and because I hoped that he and Monchi would come in a package deal. Lost Emery but there's still a change with Monchi. Koeman/Monchi, I could defo live with that scenario.

 

[Debunkology]

Pellegrini didn't exactly set the world on fire at City, and De Boer is an unknown quantity as far as the prem goes. Both much more risky than Koeman.

I think whoever manages City will come up with the same problems. They are an overblown artificial big club who clearly have problems with player attitudes. Pellegrini is an exceptional manager IMO. Where they not top of the league and in with a chance of winning all comps before City owners stupidly shot themselves in the foot and said he's going??

[Eric Djemba-Djemba]

I feel ill that the massive headed freak is going to come in and kill our club.

Logic. That was the problem! lol

 

[Milkman]
