Ronald Koeman discussion

[BlueToff]

They are ill-judged comments at best, irresponsible at worst. He is essence devaluing the club to players of Lukaku level, which is strange given the need to attract players of that quality to the club.

Or, he's simply bigging up Lukaku and no other player who potentially may join us is actually going to care, more than likely because they don't actually care about a club they don't play for yet and to them it is just a job.


But okay, that's football.

Strange comments. Clear to see he doesn't much care for us.

here comes "Gullible Gus"

Yeah maybe he hasn't covered himself in glory but FFS its not the end of the world, managers come and go, Koeman has spoken the truth and people don't like it. Sounds an awful lot like everyday life. Get over it

Which is what we need(ed) to improve though...

'Long-term planning' is great, but to do that successfully you need to bring in players of quality/in their prime to set a level (e.g. get us back into the top 6/7 - which is the aim).

Long-term planning is next to useless if you're finishing 11th season after season.

Are you a plant from the EFC PR department?

 

[FTY]

If that's how he feels then he should be binned

Say what you want about his predecessor but he knew how big we were and would tell anyone who'd listen

Perspective here.

Last summer the club told us stones will not be going 100%.

what they meant was 'we are selling him next summer either way'

managing expectations

 

[witchdoc187]

A man with as plan, indeed.
Rooney next manager, Bill crying and shaking as he welomes home the one he had to let go, no more dark rooms for Bill.
Rom sold, Rooney puts on his boots to save everton from the drop, scores last minute of the last home game....the golden days are ahead of us.

That doesnt really make any sense. Bigging up Lukaku doesnt really serve much purpose especially if he is saying he wont achieve anything staying at Everton.

It may be lost in Translation but on the face of it his comments dont seem to serve any purpose beneficial to Everton.

 

[davek]

Even if you knew that he would be leaving in the summer no matter what? Is it not your job as manager to curb expectations.
Worst thing i would want to hear is, he is going no were! For him then to be off in the summer

"Curb expectations"???

Is that what that was?

Lordy!

This is rather grim. Maybe I should spend my time watching a less defeatist team until the board and manager sort this poop out.

Any team in mind?

 

[Daniel Miles]

Rather grim times, we need to build this stadium asap!

we are really falling behind! I would take mid table for a few years as long as we invested the money into a really good new stadium.

The perception of the club would improve ten fold with a boss new stadium on the docks, something to really feel proud of as the team is not fulfilling that at the moment sadly.

Hmmm somethings you should just think in your head but not say out loud, this is one of those things Ronald...

Local town's team mate. Time's precious.
