Ronald Koeman discussion

[LABlue2]

He forgot to say USM Finch Farm...

No more transfer budget for Koeman

De Boer was my number 1 choice. I'm not going to pretend he wasn't now.. so for me going to very interesting what he will be able to do at Palace, who are my number 2 team having lived there for 3 years..

Me too, but only so I can vault @Zatara some more when he fails.

I am beginning to think Ronald is now really warming to the task here and that where previously I could not see him staying beyond the three years, I now believe he is here for the long haul

Why do you think that?

I don't know, Titus.

When he said in the presser that 'everyone knows you don't just become a champions league club in one year(from where he started)' had me thinking the same, if Southampton had our ambition he wouldn't of left there.

Either way, I'm not fussed, if he goes I doubt we'll be going to the championship for a new manager next time like we did with Moyes and Martinez

Glad Ronko has the same opinion as me. I like the guy for just being so damn logical and blunt.

Last season RK catchphrase “but okay that’s football”. This seasons, from today’s press conference “we’re going to do what we didn’t did last season”

Sake. Get relegated?

Love Koeman. There's not another manager I would prefer over him.

Proper disciplinarian. He played at the top, been there, done it. He's a winner & he clearly doesn't suffer fools & fakers.

correct

Perfect guy for what we're trying to do. He has instant cred with the players for what he did as a player. He's no nonsense. He knows what it takes. He has a bit of snide. Love you RK

On that, cred with the players, it was obvious from the Rooney presser today that Koeman had worked hard building a narrative with him to make the move work.

Anyone who thinks this all happened in the last few days, or weeks, is living in cloud cuckoo land. Stuff has been going on for months I reckon.

I don't know, Titus.

Fair enough lol

Yeah maybe. I suppose it's a toss up between the club showing ambition but also whether we can realistically reach the top. I'm sure he'd move on before he stagnated here. Have to wait and see
