Ronald Koeman discussion

[sheedys left foot]

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?

Because the gap between us and them has got wider while the gap between us and the rest has narrowed.

I'll bet any money that when Koeman leaves our club our average finishing position is higher than Martinez'

Anyone got the bottle to bet?

You're taking a big chance there aren't you? with Moshiri behind you and Koo

Exactly. A better manager and a better owner, not Rocket science is it.

I thought you said you were going to give him a chance? That last statement basically states you are not and that you have already made your mind up. Nice...

He can be aloof and still do a good job. Plenty of those around in football.

My stance is still this: results determine everything. It matters not one jot what I or anyone else thinks about his character. He'll stand or fall on his performance here. now you can't be judged a success or failure in season one, which is why I continue to view any argument that he should be sacked every time we lose a game as madness. He has that acquiescence. For now.

name me another top flight manager in the prem now who has torn into his side and seem improved results

I have heard Alex Ferguson criticise many players over the years from Ronaldo to Rooney. Mourinho did it as well. Yes managers might lose their team and ultimately their job but being critical often brings the best out of people.

1 is up for debate
2 he's far far far richer

I see our victors last week got thumped today. Watford thumped us a couple of weeks ago, but have otherwise been in relegation form and we were lucky to get draws with Swansea and Palace. If we get thumped tomorrow, and I was the bespectacled accountant, I wouldn't give him one more bean of Ussie's dosh.

Yes, but he's going against davek. That's some bottle.

It's not.

Martinez took a Steve Bruce side and relegated them.

Koeman took a Pochettino side and bettered them.

 

[Southern Yankee toffee]

I agree but neither have Moyes or Martinez if we are to be completely honest here.

Won the FA Cup...Got Swansea Promoted...

He did say in the league tbf

 

[davek]

Take that tongue out of your cheek immediately David.

Hold on, it was the orthodox thinking here until VERY recently...until Koeman couldn't handle them either. Funny that isn't it?

 

[Southern Yankee toffee]

Martinez did do something worth mentioning.
He got Wigan relegated.

Same Wigan that ate our lunch that year.

Also got Wigan relegated, as I said it's swings and roundabouts.
