Ronald Koeman

[deipnosophist]

Hope is a powerful emotion mate. Finally feeling that after a very long time of being told plucky little Everton finishing 6th is a good season definitely clouded my judgement for sure, but aspiring for Top 6 TODAY isn't what we should be aspiring for.

Cultist is definitely a harsh term on those that clung to the hope that happened in the first season. That win at Old Trafford and even more so in terms of hope, the Arsenal 3-0 win had us actually dreaming of what might be. In the end it didn't work out...I will leave it, but I do think his leash was extremely short with far too many...even in season 1...the rumbles existed from day 1.

Anyway...this thread is about Koeman and the flaccid meter attached to it. I'm firmly in the flaccid column with regards to him progressing the club to a title winner/trophy winner.

Cheese, you are an intelligent and valued co-Evertonian.
The past is done
We move forward together

The media never know our transfer targets. The same will go for managers. The media are always wrong about us and Koeman is looking like guesswork tbf

Look at his record against the big clubs this season.



Definitely should not be sniffed at.

Impressive

I may be accused of being unambitious here but i really do not share most peoples opinion of our current standing in world football? Why should we think that a long line of elite managers would be queueing up begging for the job? We have not exactly set the EPL or Europe lately have we? We have a good first eleven, but we do not have a great squad, despite what everyone says, some of the better ones will be leaving, and some of those who will stay are getting on a bit now and have one season or so left in them.

We do not have a massive pot of money to spend, everyone will have lots to spend with the new TV money, and so far Moshiri hasnt exactly said he is adding any cash of his own. We arent in Europe and we are unlikely to make europe next season with the amount of rebuilding required? So for me Koeman is a good shout, he will steady the ship, build a good foundation and that will allow us to then attract the elite managers so many are calling for! I know i will be lambasted for saying this, but i think the rose tinted glasses need to come off, we will probably need eight players added to the current crop to allow us to compete for europe and for honours. They will not just click in season one?

I think the current euphoria about losing Martinez and getting new money in is great And long overdue, but we do have to get real here lads, we are still very much a sleeping giant!

If Southampton win their last game, they will have euro football, would he leave then?

The good signs for us he never stays around long so might be bored of Southampton

The board keep selling players and he sick of it and he not impressed with the youth kids at Southampton

Or he looking for a new pay rise off Southampton

Hmmmmmmm

1. We are bigger than Leicester
2. They just won the league...quite easily.

100 million, is that before sales?

 

[john jako]

Doesn't he always go on twitter and tweet? I fear for him if we get him for that reason

 

[madkiwi]

I can't see him coming here and being impressed by having Stones and Lukaku immediately sold off. It would be too much like his previous employers.

Also, I seem to remember him being a boss player in ISS 64.

Hmm maybe he could keep stones, stones would be wise to learn from Koeman one of the best defenders in the game.

Koeman to us, Frank to Southampton, some of the fans on here wont be happy with this.

Think the media have been following Mr Esk.

 

[zaitken]

[matty1878]

Won't take us to nxt level.

 

[GwladysBlue]

Southampton fans don't think we're a big enough club to tempt him.
