Ronald Koeman Sacked

Just heard presser announced for 10am tomorrow.

I liked him last time, he did well getting us up the correct end of the table.

Not sure I’m up for him now.

Look at what he’s done since leaving?

No chance.

 

[Groucho]

No he would be a terrible idea, short term he would get the players fit and drilled, we would be hard to beat, long term he would bang his head constantly on that glass ceiling yet again, even with the money, hes flawed and the majority of the fanbase despises him, but looking at our league placing currently I can see Kenwrong thinking him the "right choice".

Who’s your choice?

 

[BlueToff]

He didn't have that at Mainz though, and a club that Klopp failed to keep up, he established them as a stable mid/top 7 team

Not one person thought Aubameyang was a world class striker until Tuchel became his manager btw mate, he was regarded as a good one yeah, but was under Tuchel that he practically doubled his goals per game, 41 in 94 for the two seasons under Klopp, 79 in 95 under Tuchel

Aye, but I can't see DCL being that guy either...

Auba didn't exactly have a bad starting point.

But I'd take him in a heartbeat - he's actually my first choice for the job and I think we should be all over him.

Said it the other day and I'll say it again - if it isn't going to be a top pick ala Ancelotti or Tuchel then we should just hand Unsworth the reigns until such time as we can land one.

Sack this talk of Moyes/Big Sam/Dyche/Howe right off. We need to start bringing the top dogs in if we're ever going to hope to do anything.

What a shame to end like this but I think his stubborness caused him his job. Maybe he will manage the Dutch national team now.

Same as martinez. I though koeman would have learnt from that. One cannot be stubborn and keep playing with a system that does not work. One needs to be able to adapt. Both didnt. Both got the sack.

 

[blueboy1945]

Whenever I watched them, I always thought his Dortmund side were like us under Martinez, good going forward but highly suspect at the back

I never get that feeling with Loew's Germany. Yes, they are hardly mizerley at the back, but I never sense that same fragility

We'll see what happens anyway, but I'm not sold on Tuchel at all

That Liverpool Europa League tie in particular was classic Bobby (And not in a good way)

To be honest, the fact I have to hard sell a World Cup winning Germany manager who beat Brazil 7-1 in their own backyard kind of baffles me

What on earth are you droning on about?

 

[peteblue]

Happy with that, the right decision, he'd lost the players and the fanbase, had to go.

Hope Unsie makes the job his own now.

Anyone who mentions Moyes should be banned btw.

This, all day long......

Talking sense there Mountfield. Unlike a lot of ex players for other clubs, you can always hear how respectful ours are and how passionate they are. You could tell he didn't like Koeman but put it in a respectful way.

I've always loved that about the majority of our ex players, it's still "we" "we're" "us" but done on a respectful way.

That little cockney beaut Cottee, referred to us as they, never could take to him.

 

[johnnydawg68]

Not for me. Unsy all the way.

Thought you meant Moyes. Unsy all the way for me.

 

[maccavennie]

That little cockney beaut Cottee, referred to us as they, never could take to him.

He knows the hammers would stop giving him free tickets if he doesn't call them "we" mate

 

[Toffeeslam]

Who stands in now then ?

Got to be Rihno till the A permanent appointment is made

 

[hktoffee]

Same as martinez. I though koeman would have learnt from that. One cannot be stubborn and keep playing with a system that does not work. One needs to be able to adapt. Both didnt. Both got the sack.

Which is fair and square. What he did in last season is minimum requirement.

Losing to Burnley at home etc is unacceptable. 8 points from 9 games is quite pathatic.

 

[OnlyBlueWillDo]

Watch Barkley be fit for the weekend.

 

[Gwaters]

£10m payout, rinse, repeat, £10m payout, rinse, repeat...

Give it Unsworth with big Dunc and Joe and twist

 

[TyphooToffee]

I won't judge any of our signings till I see them under a new manager.

Excellent post. No point throwing the baby out with the bathwater.
