Ronald Koeman discussion

[Woolly Blue]

Hand on heart - nope he probably wouldn't - because i suspect we wouldn't offer him what he would require in terms of funding in January and next summer.

I never thought the fat Spanish waiter would go Newcastle either though mate. So strange things can happen, most likely though is Ancelotti waits a month or two for the AC mentalist owners to sack their manager and goes back to them.

Unlike Benitez, Ancelotti has no ties to the UK. I think you're right, and he'll just bide his time. In the last seven or eight years he's managed Chelsea, PSG, Real and Bayern, so he's shown absolutely no interest in taking on a "project" such as what taking on Everton would be.

he will go there before that mate, bayern will hire him in a few days i reckon.

How was Tuchel found out at Dortmund, in his two seasons there he outperformed Klopps last three seasons?

He lost his job because he fell out with the higher ups at the club over their selling policy

Do we really have to get into another Tuchel discussion?

Greatly mate

 

[TheFinnFan]

He gave us the runaround when we tried to hire him, only came because he heard how much money we were offering Emery. He doesn't even look arsed!

He talks about Everton like he would be here on loan. GET HIM EFFING OUT



NOW

Bingo.

We all praised him last season for this no nonsense, brutally honest manager, and this new Everton that means business.

Well he's spent £200mill and we're going backwards. Time for the club to act like a big club

To be fair, ive always hated him since he was on the way to relegating Valencia.

Didn't we have 2 DM's in front for all of RM's tenure though? What's the difference there?

different tactical instructions I'd imagine.

He does still have a house in London mate, hence i think the West Ham links etc.

And he has frequently talked up his desire to manage in England again (fishing for the Arsenal job probably with that)

Fair points to the rest though - he doesn't strike as a manger who would want anything other than a ready made team which just needs tweaking and tactical changes really, from memory though wasn't PSG when he managed them at the start of their massive funding so in many ways he was the one starting that project?

Come to think of it - know he's loved by the PSG fans apparently so wouldn't shock me to see them bin Emery and get him back in.

Chance of becoming Everton manager - less than 1%, and largely because i don't think we'd even approach him

Wanna be dead annoyed and hate the world?

Spoiler: Open this

Last time I saw two pr1cks in the same eyeful was last week showering at the gym.

Not really mate, i rate him, you don't, don't think either will change their mind about him for years

 

[Papa Shango]

Last 12 games - 6 goals scored, 19 conceded, played 12, won 3, drew 2, lost 7. Basically relegation form over the period of 1/3rd of a season

I dont think you even have to go that much in depth.

Basically if you can not score goals and can not keep a clean sheet (both of which are true for us) then you are doomed.

 

[Billy Dean]

I'd just like to apologise to everyone I ridiculed for calling Koeman the Dutch Moyes.

 

[Zatara]

@bluestevon @Nymzee


Why do you guys love / hate Tuchel?

How about Nagelsmann or Jardim?

 

[hetion]

He'll go Bayern when Tuchel gets found out again.

I'm not sure Tuchel will be found out rather than just go a bit mental again, but agreed Nagelsmann is more likely to just chill and carry on with his Hoffenheim project until Bayern come calling in a few years (or maybe even now).

The problem for Koeman is you need to have more than one string to your bow. When you are winning etc and the feelgood factor is about then the hard line no-nonsense managerial style will work. Now we have a situation where all players need to take a second pair of pants to the game as they are going to cack themselves at some point during the 90 minutes, you need a man-manager who can give them that encouragement to battle through and get back to their best. Koeman has not got that in his locker and i'm not sure how many times players are willing to listen if its a hard line approach, eventually which sadly seems the case, they are going to go into their shells
