I'd imagine for quite a few on the forum CL qualification wouldn't be good enough.
If he got CL qualification, I think you'll find that anybody on here saying he didn't deserve to at least see out his contract would be laughed off the site mate. Good style.

Not going to happen though is it? Personally, if he manages to get the team playing decent togger and winning the games we expect, plus gets one or two decent performances and results against the top 6, then we should finish 7th and possibly qualify for EL. He'd have earned the right to have a proper go at the transfer market in the summer and see out his contract.

Based on what I've seen so far he has a lot of work to do, but there were encouraging signs in the cup performance against the RS so you never know. Bring in another 1 or 2 this window, players coming back from injury, summer signings settling in, younger players improving all the time.

Good article, i'd be interested to see what the differences where between Koeman, Unsworth and Allardyce.
 
If he's still here it'll.be because he's doing a good job and we are in a good position.The downside to that is?
That's he's an average manager who will never get you into the top 4 and every season that he is here is a season longer from winning or achieving anything.

Love how it groups Palace and Southampton in with United in terms of style....yet both are bottom half of them prem and won't move out of their anytime soon. But yeah, fair play them playing attack minded football and not getting results.

It bunches us with Burnley...a team above us and who's manager a lot wanted here.

But again, I've always said it's down to personnel. Our attack is weak and unbalanced. If we don't score, we tended to concede and heavily. We still can't score freely but we've stopped conceding.

Now we've bought a striker and maybe another attacker. So let's see this "cluster" at the end of the season
