Ronald Koeman

[MACCA75]

I'm just looking forward to the 'Ronald Koeman's body language at the last game of the season' thread.

(He clapped the fans, he's deffo leaving etc)

I may be missing something, but there seem to be a lot of people who think that because Koeman finished 7th at Southampton, that Koeman can't do better 7th than us? How does that make any sense at all?

Plus Koeman has finished 1st on a few occasions with other clubs?

I can think of plenty of managers who have won leagues and weren't good enough in the long run, and I can think of plenty of managers who have done mid table and then went on to find consistent success.

This is driving me slightly nuts too. How grown human beings can be so devoid of critical thinking is beyond me.

 

[Chimpy Glassman]

Exactly what I said back! And added Poccetino to it too.

Nathaniel Clyne also.

A football forum might not be the best place for you mate.

Well we have a worse team for starters....

I think his managerial record prior to Southampton is fairly poor given what he was working with.

lets face it, all management appointments are a crap shoot. History has seen loads of "cant miss" managers fail, it has also seen many close to being on the scrap heap stepping up and finding success.

Ray Wilkins you massive blert.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

I thought that initially, but if Moshiri sits him down and says have 100mil to build your own squad, it'd be hard for him to say no.

Moshiri could surely find a better manager if there is 100M to entice somebody with.

No point in writing anyone off as a manager. Simple proof....

Ranieri

Has he ever had a major achievement in his career before? And none of us would have Thiught he would win anything major at Leiscter either.

 

[GrandOldTeam]

Will be interesting.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Ray Wilkins proving what a tit he is.

Southampton a bigger club than Everton?! Turn it in, Uncle Fester.

 

[BlueToff]

Will be interesting.

I imagine he'll bat away any questions, and rightly so.

A lot riding on that game for Saints as it's them and West Ham in the fight for Europe.

Would not be an appointment that would make me think we are pushing the boat out, but certainly could do a lot worse.

Premier League experience a big advantage. I am hoping he could build on what he has achieved, in difficult circumstances at Southampton.

I also hope that his time at Southamption has evidenced a manager who is learning from his mistakes and adapting accordingly - we all know his spells at Benfica and Valencia were pretty nondescript.

It seems he may have found his niche in English football.

The new era seems a lot more real now since the sacking, it's always an exciting period getting a new manager in, especially as it will be Moshiri's appointment.

He would have an opportunity that no other Everton manager will have had, in terms of spending power and the ability to mould a team and squad in the manner that he would wish.

Got to show some respect to Southampton though, he has not been appointed yet.

.....I think this is a long way from being a foregone conclusion. I know folk don't think betting odds are an indicator but if he was in serious talks I don't think he'd be as big as 3-1 with Paddy Power.
