Ronald Koeman discussion

[Elong]

I'm exaggerating a bit but I'm not a fan of his. The major argument in his defence seems to be that we should worship him because of his playing career and the top names he's played for, but at this moment in time I couldnt really give a toss what he's done as a player.

He's a manager and he's done absolutely nothing as a manager to warrant the wage he's on and the reputation he seems to have built. He's an arrogant bell and he doesn't give a shiny one about Evertons long term goals.

Yep.

I kind of agree. I find him hard to like.

Spot on that mate.

Shocking from the apologists here.

If Moyes or Martinez had explicitly said Lukaku was too good for us, we would have collectively lost our minds. It doesn't matter if it's true. What Moyes said about Fellaini and Baines was (at the time arguably) true. No one was ok with that. But because this fella won some trophies as a player and took Southampton to the dizzying heights of 6th we're supposed to lap it up.

Nah.

 

[evertony]

He should not have said it, his job is take Everton forward on and off the pitch, he has once again made us a laughing stock with some ill timed comments, we employ him to take us forward. unacceptable in my eyes.

Can't knock your opinion mate. However, I never believe the press. Especially the foreigners press in International weeek.

Hopefully he has been misquoted mate, and will come out to set the record straight.

 

[Barnfred 55]

And it works both ways.

We don't "get" him.

I think I get him. I'm just not sure if I like him. Prepared to give him a chance though.

 

[Mickey]

Imagine the amount of compensation we've got to pay him when we bin him off, will dwarf the Martinez pay off.

Overpaid compensation to Southampton and overpaying wages to an average manager that's done nothing of note.

Harsh Bungle,harsh.........but fair.

 

[Angelgabriel]

'kin speechless at this feller's arrogance.

You're not managing Twente Enschede here Mr Koeman.

To be fair. I think he's probably well aware that he isn't managing a club that has won five trophies since the turn of the millennium any more.

 

[Walter Ego]

I'm not going to defend him because he's obviously bang out of order but perhaps there's more to it than meets the eye.
For instance let's say Rom is a bad apple. Something I've always suspected since he patted Martinez on the head after scoring one time. Shows a lack of respect that. But hey that's just me. But what if it were true and he wants him out? He can't drop him but he can put him in the shop window and say come and get him. He doesn't have to sulk in the reserves, he's none the wiser, probably happier and trying harder and Koeman can get a replacement in January.
Plausible? I do hope so otherwise he can f right off as far as I'm concerned.

 

[ExpatinBangkok]

What he said is true. And yes the truth hurts. Everton can change but it will take time.

 

[Bally8]

He doesn't look like he's arsed about being here, lacks any real passion for the job. The warning signs were there when he could barely be bothered to miss a couple of days holiday to sign his deal and then immediately jumped back on a plane. Tit.

Yeah I get that impression....

I've mentioned this before but for me there's a strange atmosphere around the club at the moment and I can't put my finger on it

You've found my pants! Thank you been looking for them everywhere, didn't know I left them at the ground...

We have a billionaire and have seen less investment into the squad than we had before he arrived. Now we have a manager advising our players to leave us for bigger clubs.

That's a definition of strange right there.

If you really believe that a manager employed by a club, a club who are trying to re-establish their place as a top level football club, who have already struggled to attract decent calibre players, despite the finances being available to do so, should be able to talk his employers and the club down in such a manner without critisim then I'm astonished.

It's bordering on gross misconduct in the business world. Which football has became a part of. Belittling the brand you're are employed to develop. Inexcusable. Even if the sentiments are probably correct.
