Ronald Koeman discussion

Not open for further replies.
"For our club to compete in the north west of England, which is the new Hollywood of football with Guardiola, Mourinho and Klopp, we needed a star to stand on the touchline so we got Koeman.
He [Koeman] is everything I wanted. Disciplined, experienced, a top coach. He has got the aura. He was one of top 50 all-time players. He is very direct and his sense of humour is Dutch!"
He underlined there what a clueless divvy he is about football. That was Kenwright-esque.

Only in his mind is/was Koeman a star manager. We basically set the bar low and got the best mediocre manager in the PL. That's all. Plenty here at the time of his appointment were underwhelmed/disappointed we had to settle for him. I thought he was a good choice...they were right, I was wrong.
 
At the moment its all screwed, so the likes of David and his clones have open ground to work on, but soon it will shift, the results, transfers, the stadium and then we, the faith keepers, we will feast.
Everyone I've spoken to mate in work , fellow blues , the two Mancs team and the redshites have said gueye is a steel at 7 million even the Man City fans are saying we've had them off over stones , and the redshites are pissed off because they're stuck in anal field and that we're moving with the times , and that we've got money it's struggling on the pitch , but off the pitch god how things have changed already mate

Spot on this, things are falling into place everywhere apart from on the pitch!!
 
Mainly questioning his treatment of Barkley, on the subject of which, and personly I dont think Barkley is as good as some Evertonians think, but hearing that interview for the first time, Koeman is coming across with too much my way or the highway attitude, which he needs to sort. Was one thing Sir Alex doing that but a manger who is still trying to make his way up the ladder, as great a player as he was he still has a long way to go in managment and dealing with the media.

Have to agree with that.
 
I don't think there is another manager in the division that has a three year plan then off whiff about it, apart from Koeman's.
You don't have any actual evidence that he's off after the three year's are over though do you? He's said that he has a three-year plan of were he wants us to be by the end of that time but there's no reason that if all has gone well during those three years (and he's not sick to death of some of the crying bed wetters we have for fans) he won't extend the contract for another three years. Would you feel better if he had a ten year contract and he said it was a ten year plan?
