Ronald Koeman discussion

A good appointment by them tbf

Yep makes sense financially when you have to pay someone off to get a manager without having to pay a fee.

Not sure if we did decide to push the button on Ronald, that we would then go & pay £5 million to a club for his replacement. That leaves tuchel gone, ancelloti probably a dream & unsworth.

I will be more shocked if we win

Burnley are favourites in my eyes.

A low scoring draw is my prediction.....1-1

Oh come on mate. We always knew we had a tough start. City, Utd, Spurs, Chelsea, Apollo 13.......Burnley!!!!

I really don't understand your logic, if Koeman isn't going to take us anywhere then why suffer another 18 months of the guy? They could sack him now, put Unsworth in charge and evaluate the situation in the summer. Leaving Koeman in charge, wasting money and damaging the club isn't doing anyone any good.

100%; I cannot take another 18months of this, we suffered enough under the guidance of the last fraud for 2 seasons. That would make a total of 3 1/2 years of 6 of which have been extremely unacceptable.

The board will maybe not move to dislodge him because the fan base is apathetic. We need to keep moving forward, if that means going through a few who simply aren't upto the task, until we find the right manager, so be it.

Rome maybe wasn't built in a day, but they were led by generals who were ruthless, a power play is at hand and we need to seize upon it.

Paddy Power gives it as -
Everton 4/6; Draw 11/4; Burnley 9/2; 1-1 6/1

For good or evil Everton will never do what you expect

We love Moyes for his honesty.

We hate Moyes for his honesty.

We Love Martinez for his positivity.

We hate Martinez for his positivity.

We love Koeman for his honesty?

What's next????

Everyone has a different opinion.

I disliked Martinez for his lunacy.

This is utterly ridiculous - can't believe how fickle and short sighted football fans are

Lots of new players + freakishly difficult first few prem fixtures + Europe = a challenging situation. Need to ride it out and the performances will improve. Hopefully get a striker in Jan....

Look how long Mkhitarian took to settle - can't expect Sandro and Klaassen to instantly adapt

Lots to be positive about - signings, young players, stadium, top manager.....get behind them

I know

Interesting. I'm really not sure what to make of it.

Interesting watching him at the moment, he's very fidgety and looks completely uncomfortable in front of the cameras and press. His body language tells me, he knows he is under pressure, what he says to the press and what his body language is saying are polar opposites.

The hand of fate had allot to do with that

Or rather a few hands on a wall in Brussels.

People on here was saying Sandro's release clause had saved us over £20m before he'd even kicked a ball for us lol

lol imo he will come good, he is a talented player, but I think maybe he should play some u-23 games first.

For once Koeman is spot on: our summer net spend was much lower than that of Huddersfield. And it would have been even lower had the Barkley deal gone through.

Net spend, it's just playing with figures, Lukaku went for £90m, what if he had gone for £150m later on, we would have a negative net spend, that does not mean we did not buy any players. We spent and we spent heavily, more than any other Manager has ever had to spend.

Let's not re-write history here.

Thats just a hunch though.

There's been absolutely nothing about our performances so far which has suggested we will improve. People said for about 2 years under Martinez that things would come good, but they never did. Blind faith just doesn't cut it I'm afraid.

I've said before that he should get a little more time to turn it round but he needs to improve things quickly. This isn't a little blip of 2/3 games, we've been poor for about 65% of his time here, having not won an away game for 10 months, gone out of 2 cups early and a couple of absolutely appalling spells where we couldn't buy a point.

I want to see evidence that he can achieve something here, and I want to see it soon.

Koeman has never been a top manager and simply stating it, unfortunately, isn't going to make it happen. He did nothing out of the ordinary last season, we haven't won away from home since January, his man management stinks, his football is turgid and his signings have totally unbalanced the side.
