Ronald Koeman discussion

[jceverton]

It was better than Martinezs, Martinez took us from 6th to 5th, Koeman took us from 11th to 7th, theres really need to re-write history frandel.

Just a difference of opinion really. Given the team and resources I think Martinez's first season was better than Koeman's. Admitedly it did go downhill rapidly after that!

i think we both probably watched every minute of the first season of both our ex-manager and our future ex-manager.......and being honest would have to say that, whatever the jump in league positions relative to the previous season, RMs first was much more betterer.

Moyes spoilt us, we assume 7th is easy, it aint easy!

So was his starting position.

I stayed till the end but we spent the last 15minutes just chatting away near where I sat, I glanced up now and again, but cant tell ya.

Sake. Got off with 20 to go and still missed the first train. RATS.

 

[jceverton]

Would you take him to KFC though?

KFC is too good, maybe Burger King lol

What was the Vlasic kid like MG? I was well away from my seat.

Had one run round a couple of players mate...........then gave the ball away.

Very much so yes.

But in fairness there's only about 2 or 3 people on here who I reckon are rarely wrong. @Eggs is one. @davek is another.

ok so, whatever the jump and whatever the starting position, RMs was very much more betterer

we have replaced bad with bad and I want good. sooner the better

Except his first season wasn't actually as good as Martinez's. Think on that in your comparison (which is a good shout by the way) & be worried.

Martinez took a 6th place team and improved it by 9 points and one position then you see what happened in the next 2 seasons. Koeman took over a 12th place team and improved it by 17 points and 5 positions. And we are yet to know the outcome of the current season.

*thinks back to 85% of Moyes matches

spoilt!?!?!

 

[hktoffee]

flip flop flip flop. 4 league games in to the following season is all it took.

as much as I want the chancer out the door and didnt want him in to begin with....there really is some beautiful knee-jerking going on here. I am pretty sure some of the posters in here now posting in fury were probably floating in heaven when we started flashing the cash during the summer and weren't overly tolerant of anybody who was a bit more cautious about it all.

Mate it's still too early to say. Someone will probably quote your post when we get 7th. Don't go too far...

I like @davek but he was totally and utterly wrong about Martinez.
