Ronald Koeman discussion

[dannyboy]

The way I see it is to grab Ancelloti right now and say, heres a load of money, sort this out, and here's a ton of money in January for players.

I just don't know why Ancelloti would come here. What's he got to prove? Where's his track record for taking a team like ours and transforming their fortunes? It's probably been over 15 years since he hasn't some of the best players in the world at his disposal.

It's also a huge leap of faith to think we have money to spend in January. Well, aside from splashing on the striker we so desperately need.

The squad is a misfit but getting someone in to put a bit of a feel good factor into the club will make a massive difference to the player confidence.

Who's going to score the goal then to cap off the increase in confidence?

The Arsenal and Man City games last season were boss.He was a good Ajax manager to be fair.But yeah Ronald have a shave and be on your bike mate.Your apathy and indifference towards us as a club, mirrors our apathy and indifference towards you.Oh and take Steve Walsh with you.

 

[Daveysgingerlovechild]

Koeman looked like phil mitchell during the crack years tonight. I suspect all might not be well with him.

 

[dannyboy]

No Manager will do much better with this misfit squad. Who are we kidding?

If Koeman was mainly responsible for assembling it, he then needs to join Walsh out the door who must surely be on his last legs.

I'm inclined to agree. They might get a slight bounce that new managers tend to get but in there's so many problems.

I reckon we would need to give him 200 million for a manager of his calibrate to come here and sort it out, I can't see that happening.

Problem is we've spunkd the family silver on what's was on view on Sunday and tonight, can't see a new manager getting another go at it...

 

[kenada_blue]

What for? For just grabbing him?

We've threw money away for less than that

 

[Darth Toffeeman]

Probably but unfortunately whoever takes over is inheriting a bit of a mess right now. I'd still give him time to turn it around.

Not bothered either way, just fearful about what type of manager we'd bring in next.

Walker to Royle.
Smith to Moyes.

Both managers inherited dreadful sides and turned them round dramatically.

We have good players.

We have a dreadful, defeated manager.

They all play in the same position though

It's beyond astounding how we could spend 200million and be more unbalanced than we were before he took over. I've said a few times, the next guy in has a hell of a job figuring out how to use the players brought in. And then he has an even harder time trying to get rid of the players we MASSIVELY overpaid for.

And we are wrapping up this page. Reaction from Ronald will be on the site shortly. EDIT hang on he's here.

I wouldn't be so surprised if Ancelotti is back at A.C. Milan at some point this season.

Perhaps mate, not a bad shout to be fair. We have a few good players, a lot of talented youngsters but absolutely no one to take the game by the scruff of the neck. Who's our match winner in this squad?

We aren’t going to sack him are we? FFS
