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

Why would Koeman leave Southampton to come here? Sadly we're seen in the same light as them in this day and age. It'd be a sideways step.

Guess that's all down to Moshiri's ambition and plans for our future and how he's able to convince his managerial target about that. We have been, we are and always will be a bigger club than Southampton.

Been trying to catch up but has seams aid anything more?

Last I seen him say our targets weren't what the media were thinking?

I don't think it's fair to throw Koeman in there and just say "Saints make average managers look good" when the only other one they've "made look good" is Pochettino - and he's actually quality

That's a fair enought shout by you mate, guess my point is that he hasn't taken any team he has ever managed forward past the point they where at when he arrived, he hasn't failed at Saints for example, but would hardly say he has been extremely succesful either, he maintained them at roughly a lower top half team.

Guess what i am asking is 'is that good enough for us'?

de Boer can bring along his staffs and 2/3 Ajax players. I am happy with that...not some Wigan journeymen. Made up.

If he comes he will bring Cillessen with him 100%

 

[TheFinnFan]

Take De Boer over Koeman any day

I want Cillessen, Veltman and Klaassen.

Similar to the record of Moyes with us. His second season with Soton?

Still think Saints are more likely to flog their best players than we are (if that makes sense).

It's not just about league position. It's about performance as a coach. Koeman is a superior coach to Moyes. Simple.

I am unsure about De Boer. He manages in a pretty poor league. I would be ok with it but seems a risky appointment to me. Surprised people want him over Koeman who has Southampton currently 6th after losing his better players in the summer.

Koeman once was a manager that 'Managed in a poor League', in fact Koeman was that manager two years ago and achieved less over there than De Boer had. Whos to say De Boer couldnt come over and do what Koeman has and much more?

This poor league you speak of, its a league in which Koeman has failed in with 4 different clubs.

He might, hence why I would be ok with the appointment of De Boer but it would be risky in my opinion. Koeman is proven in the prem doing well with Southampton

If De Boer announces he's leaving Ajax next week, then he clearly has another job all but sealed.

You don't announce you're leaving if you've nowhere to go simple as that.

On Flores at Watford, not my choice for us, but what on earth were Watford expecting from him this season?

Done a brilliant job IMO keeping them up, in mid table, and to the semi final of the FA Cup.

Staggering from them to oust him.
