I reckon a dog could do it.
Its a rubbish job really. "Alright lads go out and score loads of goals. If you don't I will just bring on another multi million pound player to do it instead".
Boring.

If I was Barca, Koeman wouldn't be my first choice for the job.

But you could argue that Koeman has benefited from inheriting players from Martinez' time here. Most notably Romelu Lukaku who has gone on to become the Premier League's leading goal scorer and is only at the club because of Roberto Martinez.
Agree with your second point though, his attitude towards the defensive side of the game was pathetic.
The biggest stick to beat Koeman with is that he is very meticulous with his moves. He doesn't stay in one place very long, he uses that 'success' to move to the next one. I'd be HUGELY surprised if Barca wound up giving him the job since he really hasn't had any ACTUAL success in the PL.
Saying that, it's a no brainer a Barca legend who is now in management would want to, one day, manage them.

Can't wait to see him publically calling Messi and Neymar out for not defending from the front and doing enough work.

Haha! 24 goals but his heart isn't in it. I'm alright with that.
European football after 2 seasons of bottom half finishes but his heart isn't in it. I'm alright with that.

Haven't really got a problem with him saying he wants to manage Barca, he needs to have succes here to prove he can be successful there, if he won us the europa league next year then he's showing them he can handle European competition
He gets what he wants and we're in a better position to attract another decent manager and player's

Just generally, the ONLY reason why koeman came here in the first place was because we offered him money. If we didn't up his wages and promise him more transfer funds would he have even left Southampton?
By all accounts he has done his job to expectations this season by getting us back in europe, can't ask for much more than that this season.

Exactly.
For him to get the Barcelona job he's going to have to be really good here. Which can only be a good thing for us.
If he leaves us for Barcelona at some point then that would mean we are in a good position, and could quite easily get a decent replacement at that point.
We can't lose.

There isn't a single manager we could have in the game right now who would not leave us for a top club job elsewhere. If we were sitting top of the league every year then a different story, but generally we could recruit anyone and they would choose a top club over us. Same as any of our players, no matter how loyal they are, if Barca put a bid in for them then they would want to leave us.
