he’s not a football man. He's taken advice and tried to hire who he thought was the best man at the time. Koeman was a top player. If you knew nothing about footie and someone in the boardroom said ‘let’s hire a guy who’s won the European cup with Barcelona and has got 5 zillion caps for Holland’, I’d wager you’d be impressed and take their advice.
Koeman was the Biggest pedigree of manager we had ever appointed before Carlo.
People can dismiss the trophies he won as meaningless but no other manager, bar Walter Smith had won more trophies.
