Ronald Koeman discussion

Status
Not open for further replies.
Sorry if already discussed in the thread, but given the disparity in time-lines between announcments, interviews etc, can we assume that Koeman sanctioned the releases of Osman, Hibbo and Pienaar?

Its the only logical explanation anyway mate. As @Connor said to me on Twitter the other day; Could you see Moshiri/Kenwright being all 'LETS GIVE GIBSON A NEW CONTRACT!!' Then refuse to give Osman, Pienaar and Hibbert one? Its unlikely. It was definitely Koeman's say i reckon.
 
Hope our fans support him through the he bad as we will have bad times under him

It's wasn't all plain sailing for him at Southampton last season as he did go through a slump and didn't win in 10 games but he turned it around in the end.

I agree.

Fumes are quicker to come out of footie fans than battered VW Golf's these days, and I hope we have a bit more about us than to shout 'sack' at the first sign of a score draw.

All he needs to do to keep the fans onside through a slump is demonstrate that he's willing to try new things, to find a solution.

He did exactly that at Southampton and sent them on a great run for the rest of the season.

What we've had enough of is Martinez's tactical dogma. Koeman doesn't suffer from that.

He'll get until the end of August from me. It was season over by then the last two campaigns.
If we aren't on at least 7 points by the end of March he's a failure for me...

I'll be patient until the end of August. ;)

I'm preparing myself for the first 0 - 0.

Agreed, he has a lot of work to do. Players leaving, underperforming players staying, and new signings.

The signings will hopefully give us all and the squad as a whole a big morale boost but it will take time to gel things together in the way Koeman wants.

I do expect progress this season but at times it may seem slow in coming.
 

I suppose the key and possibly the hardest thing for Ron to sort is to get all of the players back on side and wanting to put a shift in again. The Norwich game gave a good indication that there is still the team spirit there and it will be realy interesting to now see who he brings in and how he manages our bigger or more inflated ego owners.

Interesting to see Baines saying he is the one the players wanted - but at the same time he is hardly going to sit on the clubs offical soundbites and say we were all hoping for Crocodile Dundee !

Notably he didn't touch his face, nose or ears when he said it! either he is fully aware of his own body language or it was actually true...

Honestly, next time you see a footy player in a post-match interview: "we knew that (average team they just beat) are a good side" *rubs ear-lobe*.
