How you can say Emery's general league record is average is puzzling. Perhaps you should look at what Koeman has done at other clubs, his record is patchy to say the least. If you want a direct comparison then there's one from Valencia, Koeman had an 18% win record there and would have relegated them if he hadn't been sacked. Emery took over from Koeman and with the same players took them to sixth, and he had to also deal with the small matter of the club going into financial meltdown and the players not being paid for 2 months.
Emery's first two teams he managed both promoted, both to highest league position they've had, negative net spend at Valencia of -£63 million, finished 6,3,3,3. Sevilla negative net spend -£83 million, finished 5,5&7. If you still think Koeman's better that's upto you, I think you're completely wrong.

In general Emery, Favre and De Boer have consistently performed above expectations at their clubs, and they've all got a record of bringing through and developing young players. I don't think Koeman has done this consistently and for me their's a risk with him that he wouldn't perform when he's at a bigger club and with more pressure which is why I placed him behind Emery, Favre and De Boer.

There's no question Emery is better than Koeman.

Emery can't speak English. I fail to see how somebody can manage or coach any English football club if you cannot speak a little English even to begin with. Might as well just appoint a lovely woman who the lads try hard to impress for a few years! The former Chile manager with so much success, who 100% was under consideration for the Chelsea job, lost out to Conte due to this very reason.
 
I agree there is a balance to be struck between giving youngsters gametime and room to make mistakes with keeping up the overall quality of the squad.

Just feel that Jose has shown so little interest in some very good young players in recent times ( eg De Bruyne) that the balance would result in almost none of our promising crop getting a look in. Like you, I want to see Kenny be Coleman's backup next season and think there would be no chance if Jose was our manager.

Have a similar reservation about Pellegrini and youth players tbh and Koeman's record hasn't been great either despite S'ton having a good academy.

good to see you posting LL ;)

who would your choice be for manager out of those mentioned that we may be interested in?
