Next manager discussion (poll reset 21/05/2016)

[ianefc]

Am i reading it wrong? On my phone so could very well be.

Yes you are.

 

[Saint Domingo]

Isn't that down to Les Reed?

Only the good ones in Zat's book. Any good players are down to Reed, any bad ones are down to Koeman. Basically the opposite of what he thought when Martinez was here, any good player we had was down to Martinez, all the squad's problems were down to Moyes and Kenwright.

this says his agent was in Monaco yesterday to discuss but wasn't his agent heading to Liverpool yesterday? http://www.insidefutbol.com/2016/06...nt-edges-client-closer-to-everton-job/288832/

bertrand,van dijk, forster, mane...massive success

long,tadic...decent

whats your problem here @Zatara

I think you've just opened a can of worms.

 

[The Esk]

Is it all done Esk?

No, there is still work to be done particularly with Southampton but it will be done.

Re DoF work in progress, I don't have anything specific currently.

 

[EfcJayy]

les reed is hated by saint s fans, they want him out the club

Could be announced today mate?

 

[Ashtonian]

Also koeman isn't good enough?

The media and general football consensus is that he is waiting to get a call from arsenal or Barcelona.

So if everyone thinks he is barca bound one day, certain fans are saying he isn't good enough for us?

This is lukaku all over again. Slagging him off in here and when he goes on to play for a top club and score even more goals it will really hit home how good a player we had to some.

 

[jceverton]

I'd take Pelle over all of them....

Not impressed with Pelle at all, scores a few then goes missing for months. Not exactly the most mobile forward either. Completely average.

 

[Saint Domingo]

We'll be starting the new season with a far better manager than we had last season, we know we've got good players and will have money to build on the squad. This is a far better position to be in than we've been for a long time. Let's take a holiday from the moaning.

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

So if you don't want koeman or emery then who out of the available candidates do you actually want?

He wants FDB or Cocu because they're "top level managers"

Apparently.

 

[Bally8]

People talking about him spending £100 Million. He had to use that to rebuild a squad. Now I understand a lot going out of contract so we will need to bulk the squad up a bit but I imagine he will be mainly spending the £100+ Million on players that accompany the great talent we already have plus the younger lads. I imagine he will also be looking at a different calibre of players as well

 

[bullensboy]

Bye bye O lovely thread.
See you again in two years

 

[Inno17]

Forster, Tadic, Mane, Ward-Prowse... I'm done.

 

[ToffeeDoug]

No, there is still work to be done particularly with Southampton but it will be done...

What formalities now have to occur? Do we formally approach Southampton for permission to speak to Koeman (which we already seem to have done!); then agree a compensation package for the remaining year of his contract. Is there any risk that Southampton can turn round and say get lost?
