Ronald Koeman discussion

[royalblue66]

A year on and 2 vital players legs have gone


Everyone around us improve their sides and we did not.

I wish I had known by then the extent of Martinez damage.

Hindsight though.

His influence is still there mate.

At the moment we are 7th which is realistically the best position we were going to get this season given the other 6.

I don't think cups are an accurate barometer for progress.

In bold it s not when you have a home draw in both competitions and are knocked out twice!

KOPITE-esque & GEORDIE behaviour...dear me David.

Such delicious popcorning, well done.

You're just upset because he doesn't light your candle as BOB did.

Give it time David, and your broken heart will mend...

He's NOT coming back Dave...ever.

Oh sorry, do we not kick off when the Kopites and Geordies start scrawling stuff on banners and protest marching? Well guess what, if any of ours do it then you have to be consistent dont you...otherwise we'd all be the hypocrites we also call the Kopites and Geordies.

I'm pretty sure everyone said last season " A decent manager would have this squad of players challenging for a top four finish "

Roll on a year and they now turn on the players, you couldn't make it up.

Koeman deserves time but he is not winning me over at the minute.

Whatever way you look at things the manager takes the brunt of bad runs of results.
It is madness this merry go round of managers, clubs and supporters always looking for the magical fix...in reality most times it never happens.
I said after the demise of RM we need to be very careful we don't become a club who sack managers after short periods of time, this stands with for RK as he needs time
Tme will tell but he isn't helping his own cause at this moment in time, he needs to take responsibility....

 

[davek]

No he basically told the people that be to get there finger out. I applaud him and least he's shown guts to say it how it is

He attacked Walsh. Well done Ronald. But the board's door is over that way ------>

No he didnt.

 

[ToffeeTim]

I back Ron completely. Our squad is gash and while the board faff around and don't back him, then we are going nowhere.

Nonetheless I'm sensible enough to know that 2 home cup defeats is unacceptable. Ronald I'm sure knows this full well too and there can't be a similar repeat next season. If the board do their bit then I'm confident there won't.

 

[davek]

No he didnt.

Really? The BBC say he did. I'll take them over you.

But Walsh isnt solely in charge of transfers.

Wrong choice

It served it's purpose. Scapegoat tethered to a post and left.

Where does dirty go for his info?

 

[Tony Hibbert's 3rd leg]

I don't think it was wholly an attack on Walsh. Lookman was brought in and looks like a Walsh target. Koeman is probably upset because we're not getting in his targets (Schneiderlin) as easily, especially considering he's apparently keen on the move.

[bicycleheader]

Is he sacked yet?

In all seriousness although I didnt want him , , and still am not that impressed, I can see him achieving a really good second half of the season if the recruitment is decent this month.

I also think if we do go on a good run and ensure we finish at least 7th, things will work out for us to get Europa.

Given that, and when looking back from the summer you would definitely say....okay we played crap for much of the season and the cups were an embarrasment but overall that will do fine for his first season and lets see what he can do now with further refreshing of the squad.
