Ronald Koeman discussion

He has 3 more points and has been knocked out of both cups

Explain how that's an improvement worth mentioning
You can do what you want with stats. The last full time manager got 21 points from our previous set of 20 league games (not including Norwich) this fella has 30 from the next 20. Id suggest 9 points is significant.
 


Not if his name is Phillip.

You are expecting miracles of him. Take a club from relegation, overhaul the squad on a negative net spend and then win trophies against teams splashing billions around (who are also taking your best players). Yeah he had some bad traits, but I'd rather fans were moaning that he bottled an FA cup semi than moaning about his O Neill or Bruce or Pardew or Curbishley or Hodgson, or whatever other clown we could have got in instead, took us down and it was inevitable because every team in the league was outspending us.
So not relegating us is a plus point?

The thing is, give him money and we still would have had the same result. He held himself back not the money, in fact it was a massive marker to how good he was potentially for the fact he always did well on the budgets given to him. But he achieved nothing in 11 years here, that is what the record books will show. So no matter how well he could have done in a theoretical scenario, doesn't change the fact we bottled every big game we ever had under him down to his negative approach to the game.

I mean talk about examples, he went to the champions of england, signed his favourite player from us and signed the player we all clamoured after in the summer so a squad of league winning players plus mata and fellaini and where did he technically finish? 5th 6th? Funny how he achieved the same league position despite the squad being winners.

And the reason he was sacked was because the reigning champions were a little resistant to him telling them to fear the other team
