Poll: Going Dutch - Frank De Boer or Ronald Koeman.

[Khalekan]

Koeman. But Sammy Lee is a total lob on killer.

I think Sammy was there before Koeman went.

Hooefully he leaves him where Ho found him

Frank has more rhyming possibilities if things go horribly wrong.

very even vote this ...

was actually 50/50 before my vote lol

 

[efcjames]

Damn, 50/50. 25 each.

.....I think it's a gamble whoever comes in, went for Koeman for the job he's done at Soton.

 

[eternal_defiance]

it's neck and neck, but Koeman has a larger neck on him, and what's this, here comes De Boer, shuffling along on his scooter, it's not over yet

I see it like this, Koeman comes in, we'll probably sell all three of Barkley, Stones and Lukaku. He can rebuild, he'll enjoy it, finish 8th a couple of times, the odd semi, no pressure, more money, bigger club, lovely

De Boer comes in, what's this, Lukaku considers staying, De Boer makes training fun, everything is bigger, better, brighter.....Barkley wants to give it 12 months, and Stones matures.......with us - and De Boer demands Champions League

 

[Legend Barry Horne]

Ideally NEITHER - both decent but believe we can aim higher!

Frank De Boer - a little cooler than the name Ronald.

Wanted by Barcelona, Tottenham, Newcastle, sounded out by Liverpool too. Biggest signing is £4.5m, 4 titles in 6 seasons in his first job, assistant manager and finishes as runner up in the World Cup in 2010, worked with Johan Cruyff, lives and breathes football, scored free-kicks and headers, so unlike RM is into set-pieces, has beaten Barcelona in the champions league, has 4 or 5 years of non-stop champions league experience, is fitter, younger and more able to work on the training pitch. From Ajax. Mourinho had no premier league experience at one point. Losing to the promising and similar Cocu a couple of times is no disgrace. Cocu has beaten Man Utd in the CL if memory serves.

Ronald Koeman tweets. He manages Southampton. As @Zatara said, he resembles and makes me feel Megsony.

I like it when the thread starter of a 50/50 poll is completely impartial...

 

[ijjysmith]

Frank Rijkaard

 

[Efc1971Tony]

While you're at it, why not make the entirely possible prediction that Koeman would turn out to be one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse, ruling the entire Western hemisphere with an iron fist and slaughtering every newborn male to maintain his throne, while De Boer would stride into his first press conference, yell 'NIL SATIS NISI OPTIMUM', squawk, and lay a golden egg, out of which pops a 21-year old Dixie Dean.

another way I think about it is like this. Between Pellegrini or De Boer, I want the exciting De Boer and the lovely football Ajax play and their bravery in using youth. But between Koeman and Pellegrini, I prefer Pellegrini, safer hands between two safe options. This means De Boer>Koeman surely? One could be the next Mourinho, one is Ronald Koeman
