Ronald Koeman discussion

[ToffeeTodd]

There are seven managers in the league next season who have yet to win a trophy (Alan Pardew, Steve Bruce, Aitor Karanka, Mark Hughes, Mauricio Pochettino, Tony Pulis and Slaven Bilic), the rest are littered with silverware.


So thats 7 names hes instantly "better" than.

And then this wonderful piece ranks him higher than Conte.

Pardew won the St Johnson's Paint Trophy whilst at Southampton

Yes mate I'm sure they will now fight it out to prove hI'm wrong

I remember my boss telling me I was utter toilet at my job and the next day I was full of beans raring to go

You don't all people to pull you down, you rise above it and set out to prove them wrong? You know this is precisely what we don't teach our kids enough about nowadays. There are going to be people in life who get at you, don't think you are good enough, it's up to you to prove them wrong.

 

[davek]

Have Man Utd or Spurs manager been sacked?

Eh?!

 

[Arnold]

You don't set out to prove people wrong, rising above the what they think of you and setting out to prove them wrong?

Hahaha you have no idea do you

we are talking about pampered millionaire footballers ffs

 

[MACCA75]

Yep. And so you then you have to rely on a man who can BUILD a squad to make the up that gap. That sound like this current manager to you?

I dunno mate, but he's the manager we have right now, so why not give him some support? X

 

[ianefc]

The benchmark is Kendall Ian.

Rightly so.

No Smith. Who is the most recent manager that Martinez has a better average finishing position than.

 

[davek]

Impressive how he got Southampton to improve on Pochettino in back to back seasons then isn't it.

Then he should be ok here too given he inherited the best squad we've had since the 80s and with money to burn.

 

[Stan Lee Park]

I never thought we were overachieving under Moyes when we were spending about 9th highest budget and we were getting 5th. If that dullard could make up the gap why can't this feller who's got less of a gap to bridge?

I think he has more of a gap to bridge than Moyes.
1. He's picking up a demoralised squad from a manager who was leading us to oblivion via two consecutive bottom-half finishes.
2. The top six are richer and better than they have been, all with substantial squads and money to burn.

 

[ianefc]

Stop with the Martinez stuff. This has to end.

I was replying to your criticism of Koeman.

 

[bazzer25]

Hahaha you have no idea do you

we are talking about pampered millionaire footballers ffs

And there lies the problem maybe with many in our squad, the reason why they can't rise up to beat the opposition when it truly matters. If they can't do that they shouldn't be playing for the club, simple as.

 

[davek]

Oh goody, I was hoping you would reply.

Its not my list, so dont blame me Dave.

"Rates him higher than Conte"....FFS mate, put the Beano down.

 

[ianefc]

Eh?!

I agree, terrible grammar. Has the Manchester United or Tottenham Hotspur manager been sacked yet?

 

[Stan Lee Park]

Then he should be ok here too given he inherited the best squad we've had since the 80s and with money to burn.

Take that tongue out of your cheek immediately David.

 

[ianefc]

Correct. Now we are getting somewhere.

Last season we finished 11th, we're currently 7th.
