Ronald Koeman discussion

[Bungle]

@Bungle's initial claim about ESPN has never been disproved. My claim similarly so.

ESPN clearly stirring it a bit, not sure what they have to gain from it but who are we to argue.

Comical now.

So if the players have 'downed tools' what makes his start with us any different to his Southampton start? Both sold of assets almost immediately. He had a re-build job to do there too. Players seemed to respect him there, so why not here? Got them into Europe, and played good football, and were solid at the back. I just think it's a transition & a period of adaptation in probably everything they did in comparison to Bobby. That takes time. Look at Pochetinno's first season at Spurs. 2nd season, almost unrecognisable

Don't think it'd be totally out of the question for a big money move to tempt him in the summer if it does come to that. He's 59, a chance to make the step up to the prem would defo make him think.

Maybe, might be difficult for Moshiri to backtrack now. Who knows stranger things have happened! Koeman though is shaping up as a total disaster.

I aint gonna bother.

Absolutely this, every single interview he gives he makes it clear that the players he currently "manages" aren't good enough, and will be shipped out as soon as he can sort it out. Imagine overhearing your boss saying that your rubbish and they're looking to replace you, I'd stop trying too.

There doesn't look to be any sort of relationship between the players and the manager at all, that is down to the manager to create, and he's failed miserably at it.

im gunna hazard a guess here, koeman is the type of bloke to tell them staright to their faces, 'you son, are absolute shabite'.. can see it in training sessions now, leaving lads like cleverly and oviedo crying, as koeman wlaks off saying 'im off to get my handicap down while you lads collect the cones in'

 

[mutley]

ha, sake.

Just read the replies and the blues fans taking it all in jest,

if it was about the RS he'd be getting loads of death threats

 

[Khalekan]

It's been like that for the best part of 2 years, it's like we're waiting to go behind. It all boils down to the players being bags of [Poor language removed] with the mental strength of watercress

To be honest, now you come to mention it there were many games under Moyes when it was like that as well

You have to admire the outstanding attitude of the players in the last 3 months of last season when they also looked to "down tools" on Martinez too.

My money's on Koeman has them sussed and. Despicable bunch of pampered rats we have who need drop kicking out of the club at the first opportunity.

I said this about the players last season but many on here gave them a free ride because of their hatred for Martinez.

 

[chopper6]

It's a huge transition from top to bottom of club, not just squad. It takes time. Its not going to happen in 15 games! Especially with a high % of out squad currently not being good enough

Against the top sides yes. But now it's against everyone, it's depressing

Makes it even more strange that he has 2 great u23's ready to go and 1 donsn't play and the other can't even make the matchday squad.

 

[nsno-chris]

That was more down to moyes inability to go against them. The semi against the RS being the perfect example, 1 up and totally bottled it

Martinez bigged them up & now that Koeman has seen right through them and start speaking the truth, the little farts dont like it. This Club is littered with shitbags.
