Ronald Koeman discussion

[COYBL25]

Did you state 18 months ago that you wanted to be Liverpool manager? That's the pertinent part. Nothing to do with childhood favourite teams.

Serious question, do you actually support Everton Dave ?

Mate, do you honestly think that any premier league manager, when asked who he would like to manage in said league, would actually name a team? Get real.

He said he liked Liverpool as a kid.

Some might make the vast leap of a conclusion that he is, in fact, a Kopite.

He didn't just say it, he said it in reply to a question about who he'd like to manage other than Southampton.

The obvious conclusion is that he stated he supported Liverpool as a kid, so...

That's plain as the nose on your face.

Overall though WTF is going on here? We have people posting blag and fake news stories here and phoney ITKs posted garbage...but I'm supposed to be (in your words) "ashamed" of myself for posting an article with the man's own words in verbatim. How is this working exactly?

I have devoted a great deal of my life to this club.

Please dont mock or abuse that.

The feller was asked 18 months ago about what team he'd like to manage. Given that we are Everton FC, Liverpool's greatest rivals, how is his stating 'Liverpool' my act of "wummery"?

He said it didn't he? It's news that an Everton manager wanted to manage them so short a time period ago. Did I make that up?

18 months ago he had absolutely no idea that he was destined to be the gaffer of the greatest team in the land which effectively puts that interview out of context. If asked the same question now he would probably state something along the lines of:

"But OK - when I was a kid I liked Liverpool - they were a well known team throughout Europe then but now that I am lucky enough to be managing the original footy team in Liverpool I would rather drink instant coffee and stick hot pins in my mayo covered testicles than have anything to do with them"

Nothing to worry about - certainly not grounds to label him a Kopite by any stretch.............

Obvious conclusion? Only if someone is delighted to make that jump.

And as for "ashamed". You called the current manager of Everton Football Club a Kopite, because he said he liked Liverpool as a Dutch 8 year old. (Or however old he was.)

Utterly ridiculous. And beneath you.

It wouldn't hurt to increase the positive/negative ratio of your posting. I'm not convinced things are bad enough at the club to warrant such an overwhelmingly negative slant across such a wide range of topics. It's hard to see where the fun is in supporting the team for you.

Your brain is a marvel Dave. How nobody else came to that conclusion is beyond me

 

[Boss_Blue]

That's all fair and fine.

What is dead weird tho is an everton fan not enjoying everton winning football matches. I love winning me.

Dave likes us to win playing a certain way.

Each to their own mate

This.

 

[Elong]

Yeah, you're right lads.

The Everton manager is a Kopite. No biggy.

'kin ell.

Crying at this.

Yes, ok. Calling the Dutchman a Kopite was a step too far. I apologise for that. But that isn't the issue here, not by a long chalk. The issue is that people seem to want truth buried. What's worse than that?

If we read that on RAWK we'd be pissing ourselves at the cultish nature of someone being chased all over a thread for posting an article that quotes directly their own manager's words and telling them they should have just stuck it up their jumper and kept quiet about it.

It's utterly absurd. .

I think a lot of fans are still so affected by the last two crap seasons that they are getting way too excited about the current OK manager we have. IMHO

Davey is way too negative for my liking but he does bring a good balance. And I would tend to agree with him that i don't particularly see Koeman doing anything special with us.

Have said a few times that it will be the next manager that will win us trophies.

It's called logic mate. Apparently it's a new way of viewing things.
