Thomas, with respect your last para is nonsense. I would much rather have Klopp that Koeman as much as it pains me to say that. Klopp has done far more in club football that Koeman ever has. I just cannot help but think that for £7 million a year we could have done better than Koeman.

I appreciate their title wins were in different leagues, but with all due respect in return, he hasn't mate.

I work with them and they suffer from kopite-scale delusion. Spookily enough, Pompey were the same a few years ago - I got both barrels when they happened to beat us in a league game...but just smiled and waited for the expected to happen...which, naturally, it did.
Normality will soon be restored with regards to Southampton. Their ground, despite being new and shiny..is a basic bowl on an industrial estate. It holds much less than our own ground, despite it being over 100 years newer...ambitious?
They will again sell their best players in the summer(perhaps even to us) and perhaps this time they won't get away with it because their manager will have moved onto pastures new(again, perhaps even to us)

I think they'll be fine

So long as they reinvest the money made on player sales, they'll be a competitive Premier League side IMO

The club seems well run. Dropping Adkins for Pochettino shows they can spot a manager and aren't prepared just to rest on their laurels

If Koeman leaves and Moyes (Or even Emery) ends up going there, they'll solidify and keeping ticking along in the top flight

The club aren't especially ambitious, but they wouldn't stand for being whipping boys either, otherwise they'd've kept Adkins

I could even see them doing what Stoke have done, which is gain a place as a Top Division regular and then gradually start going for more ambitious signings. Stoke are coming up to 10 years in the division soon, and I couldn't fathom them going down at this point. They're a solid team who have signed some really good players recently. There's no reason that couldn't be Southampton in a couple of years

I should have phrased it differently. Klopp has been far more successful in club football that Koeman. The three main leagues in Europe are the Bundesliga, La Liga and the Premiership. Koeman has had no great success in any of them until he got 6th with Southampton this season. Klopp we know all about.

I'd rate winning the Bundesliga over winning the Eredivisie to be honest

Winning the Budesliga over Bayern Munich is probably more difficult to be fair

As a player, it's not even close though. Koeman has a Champions League/European Cup Winners medal. Klopp ain't touching that
