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

[Steve Wigan]

pretty sure Esk said yesterday announcement was due in the next 24 hours

Sky beauts are now saying 'within the next week' and ' agent has retracted his comment that terms had been agreed between him and Everton.' And estimates of compensation to Saints are now 'between 3 and 4 million'
All beginning to sound like 'Everton.,ain't it?'

 

[Liam-EFC]

Phil Neville says Koeman would be good for Everton,if it goes thru,
Was saying we should have Moyes last week.

I'm surprised that whopper didn't say that Koeman is a future Man united manager.

 

[bizzaro]

Me too...

Pipe down Faustino

 

[efcforeverrr]

Yep what is going on, starting to question this itk stuff now

 

[Zatara]

Me too, just can't get excited about him. Not the massive statement we were promised.

To be fair it was the ITK posters who said that we would get a top class manager.

Also although I personally think hes pretty average at best the main person i would believe ajd has been correct all along would be @The Esk and he siad koeman was 1st choice from the beginning and also said he rated koeman as a top manager so in his mind we have got a top manager.

Which is fair enough as everyone has different opinions on managers and players.

 

[Ihaters]

Not bothered about dutch league as that was over 10 years ago. Hes actually beem a failure everywhere since almost tanking the league with PSV after a 12point fap was thrown away and they only won it due to others losing to relegated teams...his claim to fame since then and for a decade is stabalising southampton.

Pretty much the skill set we need right now

 

[Aqui1a]

Tbf there is no standout candidate, ill get behind him regardless. Funny thing though it's the first time I've not been happy with a new manager coming in.

You were happy with Martinez but you're not happy with Koeman? How??

 

[Dharma]

Sammy Lee tho, GTF.

we can only hope. and its emery instead. btw, im not saying this because i dont like koeman, but because i will earn massive money if its emery.

 

[BiggyRat]

Sky still saying could take until the next week?

Koeman after being told the presser's been delayed...

 

[Zatara]

And?

So what your telling me is that we have recruited a manager who was not winning everything for years?

When was the last time feynord won the league? I mean it hasn't been in at least 7 years, so failure at a club other managers have not been successful at?

A quick Google also tells me koeman had first team players sold on him and replaced by youth players on the whole. Shocking he didn't succeed when he lost a lot of key players with little replacements.

You could have just read one of my comments on feyenoord under koeman to tell you that.

Unless im mistaken you said we couldnt have got koeman back then as we didnt have money. I highlighted that he would have cost buttons and wss ranked as a failure then and was with a team with financial issues so he would have cost buttons.

Hmm starting to whistle between me teeth about this one. Will back Koeman all the way but it feels like stasis to me. 7th-8th, best of the rest... meh. OK we were floundering under Bobby but it's not really a team in complete meltdown is it? Moyes was a great stabiliser too.. back when we badly needed one, but we're hardly in Walter Smith territory at the moment FFS. Oh well, maybe I should be looking forward to eight or so years of.. not very much.

I'd love to have to eat these words btw

Far more? Won one more title, no experience outside one league

FDB joined Ajax when they were 3rd or 4th favourites for the league. FC twenre and even AZ Alkmaar had bigger wage budgets than them.

He was brought in by Cruyff to bring back the old Ajax style of play along with other former superstars. He achieved this by playing an exciting style and integrating the youth with a £65mil+ negative spend and a max transfer fee of £4.5mil.

In the past 2 seasons hes fallen to 2nd place behind PSV under Cocu whose also a top manager and imo future barca manager.

Koeman took over the favourites for the league and after winning nosedived not once but twice. At PSV he was 12pts clear and tanked, only winning due to alkmaar i think losing to the bottom team last day of the season. How did he give up such a league -- he fell out with some of the players....same at AZ,Benfica,valencia and southampton.

FDBs done fsr better in holland than koeman. Koeman did well stabalising feyenoord and aouthampton....same as tony pulis has with WBA or Moyes dis with us.

or it could be the fact that if he admitted to the fact that efc and koeman agreed terms before the compo had been agreed then that is illegal, and he is trying to cover his, koemans and efc backsides

It was a meltdown under Bobby. If we'd had another half dozen games to play under him he'd have surpassed any damage done by Walter Smith.
