Dont know whether its better to get rid or not but Ive seen little reason so far in his career for him to be in the top 50 highest paid managers in the world let alone top 10

Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg
Banned as requested
Koeman isn't just inheriting a poor squad, he's inheriting an inferior complex mentality.
I mentioned this on the players thread. 7 of the starting eleven were basically starters in 2013. 10 of the 18 were In the squad. The rest is made up of players who aren't good enough - Players surplus to requirements elsewhere, aging players, players who weren't exactly outstanding from lesser teams.
In 2013 we hired a relegated manager with little success notorious for bad defences and stubbornness. We then signed the spine of a related team. Apart from Lukaku we didn't really make any progressive signings. This mentality problem has lingered for years.
I haven't expected Koeman to be as lacklustre as he has been, and I expect better attitude from the players. But I'm honestly not surprised by these players anymore. Everyone competing has got rid when needed and replaced ruthlessly and we've been lagging behind in this aspect for far too long.

Did koeman inherit garbage - yes
Does the squad have a complex - yes
Does this make them launch the ball 50 yards with no gameplan and just hope it sticks - No
Koeman needs to take responsibility. Same style week in week out. Change and bin the garbage

Despite all the talk of us being cack I can't see us giving him the old heave ho any time soon, and even less him packing his golf clubs and doing one.
I can only hope that he is indeed playing it cool, and pretty much like Baldrick, he has the most cunning of cunning plans vast improvements in the new year.

I would be more forgiving if I could see a certain style of play but just lacking in quality, but right now I am seeing inept players in an inept system, and some of the worst football I have seen for over a decade and not just 1 or 2 bad performances but a whole string of them since late September.
I reiterate that I will still back him and see in Jan when hopefully he has a few more of HIS players. If we are still slipping towards the relegation zone then I think his days maybe up..

Fundamental change all around or koeman is gone
I keep on seeing this statement that he needs HIS players in to be successful and that, to me, is the mark of a very limited manager.
As much asd we despise them, look at Klopp. Got a bunch of very mediocre players challenging for the title so far, and most of them aren't HIS players.
A GOOD manager figures out how to get the best of what's in front of him. And here is Koeman repeatedly saying he needs HIS players in...
He's essentially absolving himself of anything because he doesn't have "HIS players"

What seats that la?
He definitely comes across as though he's here under sufferance, from day one he's looked like he's walking around with the bad stench of Everton offending his nostrils.
At first I figured it was just the arrogance of a winner, and accepted that was just the trait of a manager who was going to get things going in the right direction.
But it seems he's not content with alienating the fans, he's clearly isolated himself from the players too - and whatever you think of them - that's never going to yield success these days.
I don't like him and I'll be surprised if he's still here next season.

Needs to sort it out.
You can see from the way he keeps changes things round that he's struggling to find something which works, but that's his job, which he'll be keeping.

I agree I think I am just trying to give him a chance. Its still very early.
To be honest mate my heads cabbaged with it all, I don't know!!! its not bleeding good or pretty at the minute that's for sure.
Klopp struggled last season, you know, in his first season.
