Ronald Koeman discussion

Well either way you get to moan, I'm not sure how you're going to be satisfied.
Satisfied? I don't understand. What exactly am I supposed to be satisfied about? (Bear in mind I've seen this club lift European trophies and league titles). D'you really think I'm going to be doing cartwheels over a run of 6 games with good results?

That's not going to happen this season Dave. You know it. It wasn't going to happen in the last 15 years. It's called building up to it. You're saying you want progression, 5th would be a great effort THIS season, but you don't want Europa. I don't know how you're going to be satisfied.

You're starting out from the wrong position. Satisfaction is not the objective. Cause for optimism is what we should be looking for. If we hold this position, which we will or maybe even go one better, then that's a pretty good start and a corner is turned. But it's nothing in and of itself. This manager then has to prove it next season that he's worth all the hype.

That seems fair to me. It's probably not though and I'm being negative again and an army of snides are even now bombarding the mods with complaints about how nasty I am and demanding my removal from the site. Wtf is happening to this place when you can't take up a contrary stance without bringing out some Waco type Davidian cult determined to wipe you out?

Why not tho David, surely Everton winning should be enough, it is for me.

And ive seen Everton lift titles, cups, european trinkets.

All I'm saying Dave is if we finish 5th, you'll moan we are in Europa, if we finish 7th, you'll moan we didn't finish 5th.

Disagree with the last paragraph, you're worth your weight in gold on here.

thanks mate. You're one of the good guys on here.

We'll see. It's ok at the moment. I just think we give free passes to managers and owners at this club. Keep them under pressure to deliver and see where that takes us would be my policy, not praise them for delivering nothing.

How about being satisfied about this club being on an upwards curve again.How about being satisfied at the return of fortress Goodsion.How about being satisfied about not looking at the table and wondering is the buffoon in charge going to get us involved in a relegation scrap.How about being satisfied that Roberto Martinez is no longer our manager.At least Koeman can actually beat Bournemouth.It was that infamous game against Bournemouth down in their place last season when most of us got that sinking feeling that the Martinez regime was a busted flush.

The problem is not that you're contrarian, but it's that you never, ever stop. It's such a bummer to click a thread and see nothing but you and replies to you, and all saying the same stuff every time!

If, every once in a while, you would say, 'okay mate, I guess we'll have to agree to disagree' then complaints about you would drop significantly.
