Appreciate he has a patchy managerial record prior to going to Southampton. However it is undeniable he has been an outstanding success given how that club has been run, he's really succeeded way beyond the level of support he received from his board.
He's clearly destined for big things in the future (hopefully with Everton for the next few years). He's intelligent, a good man manager and carries a huge pedigree as a footballer. I'm sure he's convinced Moshiri that he can buy into and contribute hugely to the development plan that Moshiri has for the club. It has the potential to be the start of a dynasty particularly if we have Monchi alongside as DoF.
Aside from the "super" managers and perhaps Emery, I believe we have the best and most suitable candidate for the job.
The DOF there Les Reed seems to have done a very good job. Also they have brought in crazy money for players and allowed Koeman money to sign his favourites (im sure the players he signed were mostly his choices).
Hez taken them up one place in the league which can be attributed to chelsea dropping off last season and us the season before.
If indeed he was Moshiri's 1st choice then it should be a huge concern for all...Koemans record in Spain was a disaster so no idea where these Barca rumours have come from....his agent?!?!
All i can say is that he must be very good in job interviews as clearly hes not a top manager and far off what we would expect based on the rumours of "positive change".
Massive disappointment and now a real question mark over Moshiri especially if hes paying him £6mil a season.
