Ronald Koeman discussion

[The Cowboy]

He really didn't have that much of an impressive record, he hadn't won anything for years but did well with Southampton.

Shh, I was trying to be diplomatic.

At least it wasn't posted on that twitter account.. Pipe down a bit there Ronnie.

I think people need to get a grip.
Moshiri, in his first genuine public utterances this week sounded almost in awe of Koeman, after spending what he did to tempt him to Everton then anybody thinking that he is now considering getting rid of him is in absolute dreamland.

Before last Saturdays disaster we were moving along nicely with a mixture of good and bad performances but in general I think most were happy with sixth place at this stage of the season.

The Everton squad is very much a wip with Koeman it will take another couple of windows before we see the kind of team he really wants to put out.

If Everton are to be a really top club , then I think that fans must realise we have to leave the folksy, small time club attitude behind.
Koeman is a mercenary and will leave before many very long, but already I think he has introduced a different less sentimental attitude to the club. Young players will have a harder time getting into the first team and underperforming players will be ruthlessly shipped out.

Whether what he's said is true or not is beside the point.

It reflects poorly on the club that pays his wages and who went out of their way to employ and it's a kick in the teeth to fans who are used to hearing this sort of thing from pundits but not the manager.

 

[Walken]

Fat face getting his excuses in early, get him out

 

[BlueLee]

The very least you would expect from your own manager is at least some respect, even if no loyalty!

 

[squonk]

shut up Ron and get on with your job of making America, sorry Everton, great again.

 

[Billy Dean]

He's just driving Rom's price up and talking him up more generally - good work I say. We saw over the summer it wasn't easy shifting Rom. Hopefully this will make it easier.

 

[Walken]

Kenwright was in awe of moyes, moyes consistently downplayed expectations, he was also hunger, nothing has changed

I hope we do get that dock site. In danger of drowning in all the piss and tears in here.

You see, this is what worries me.

His first public utterances were on a Mickey Mouse radio station and made in an interview with a man whom is a comic cut figure in the broadcast world.

And indeed he did seem to be in awe of Koeman.

And that just seems barking to me.....Koeman is hardly one of the world's great managers

Furthermore, you are perfectly right......there is no way Moshiri is getting rid of Koeman.

Whether or not that us a good thing, time alone will tell

Rubbish, he is the manager of Everton and as such he should represent us with a view to building us up and taking us forward, I think the public perception of this is that even our manager doesn't take us seriously. i think he should be looking to build on the community feeling the club has nurtured over the last ten years or so, there have been times when that is the only thing that has kept us going, to destroy that in order to give the impression that he is ruthless would be a mistake and the people who oversee him shouldn't allow him to carry on gobbing off all over the press, at the moment the job looks too big for him a la Valencia, time will tell, but with his comments and crap football he wont get much time!

 

[Bungle]

Imagine the amount of compensation we've got to pay him when we bin him off, will dwarf the Martinez pay off.

Overpaid compensation to Southampton and overpaying wages to an average manager that's done nothing of note.

 

[toffeeblue9]

It isn't popular to say anything negative about Koeman, given he hasn't been here long and is generally doing a decent job.

But...

1) We've just been absolutely smashed by Chelsea, more comprehensively outplayed than any time I can remember in the last decade

2) He's just told the world that we aren't big enough to keep our best player. Whilst that might be the painful truth, it is most certainly not what you want to hear your manager say - this is, after all, the man who is supposed to be getting us to the position where we could keep players like Lukaku.

The timing of this interview coming off the back of that spanking at Stamford Bridge has annoyed me.

Given him praise where he has deserved it this season, it's now only fair that he gets criticism where it's warranted too. He is in my bad books at the moment.

 

[Baines' left foot]

But he calls a spade a spade lads just like Roy Keane!

We love people who call spades spades around these parts.

Lads?
