If Belgium fail to win an international trophy with a generation including Courtois Kompany De Bruyne Hazard Lukaku supported by the likes of Aldeweireld Vertonghen Meunier Witsel Mertens then it’s an absolute travesty. I think they wasted their best ever chance to win the World Cup. He needs to deliver the euros or they might always think what might have been as I can’t see many young Belgian players coming through as good as that crop.

It's not a travesty, but it's a helluva waste of a once in a lifetime opportunity. France was an excellent team last time round and deserved winners, regardless of who was in the Belgian squad.

Belgium have the best team in world football. Quite how Bobby manages to fluff it, I’ll never know.

Why did they even go for him in the first place?

It wasn't like anyone better was going to sully their reputation by jumping onto that sinking ship, knowing full well that they would be scapegoated for failure and removed by the new board.

Koeman is being well compensated for taking a fall.



Xavi may wait until more of the financial dust settles. If he walks through the door now, it's likely to end like Lampard. That's not because he's at Lampard's level, but because the squad is a mess, the club hasn't the finances to fix it and the board is going to need someone to blame the next time elections roll around.

I'm also not convinced that Barca can actually afford to sack Koeman, unless Xavi is willing to work for peanuts.

Those problems can probably be contracted around - Barca could write Xavi an extremely long-term deal by today's standards that doesn't pay particularly well until year two once Koeman's wages are off the books.

they hired him to slash payroll by making their high wage earners ask for a move.
 

Belgium are very “Spursey”. They have a fantastic team but slip up at the final hurdle.

Just look at how they imploded against Switzerland in the Nations League, if that didn’t happen they would have won it. Portugal who did, are a very overrated and pedestrian side. I think they got found out by France this time round.

Here’s hoping Belgium’s time is here second time round in the UNL.

As for Barca, it’s the same thing; they’ve been found out.
 

Interesting that great sportsmen can go to seed like Fatty Koeman has. Huge gut betrays his gluttony for booze and carb rich Dutch treats. And his brain appears affected...he comes across as quite dense.

WTF where Barcelona thinking appointing this clown?! People in the media saying "he was a legend for them as a player" well so was Graeme Sharp for us but I still wouldn't want him anywhere near our dugout!

Great on the pitch does not always translate to great in the dugout, it actually rarely does, yet Barca seem to think it does with this deluded idiot!.
