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

Do you think we can persuade Koeman to come Esk? Southampton's owner is pretty rich too...

Southampton dont have an owner, as such.

They are going nowhere fast.

 

[Debunkology]

No mate, De Boer resigned today. He doesn't currently hae a job

I know, but doesn't change the fact that Ajax would be due compensation if they pushed for it.

 

[AaronTheBlue]

also what / where was the last club where he had expected to succeed, how did he do?

our expectations and pressures are higher than southamptons

 

[jceverton]

Emery is great, he's proved that.

Then again, he's also had his fall outs and clashes and his failures.

What are his failures exactly, other than a very short spell with Spartak Moscow - where his win percentage was still around 50%. He's a demanding manager but he's managed and improved David Villa, Juan Mata, David Silva to name a few. What fall outs, clashes are you referring to?

 

[Mikelangelo]

On the subject of Koeman. Here's the league table since Jan 1st.

Only 2nd? We should go for Ranieri...

Do you think we can persuade Koeman to come Esk? Southampton's owner is pretty rich too...

There's been multiple reports tonight that he's interested, the Southampton owner may be rich but she doesn't like spending it hence the mass selling every summer. I'd be content with Koeman but not ecstatic

 

[kithnou]

The fact Mourinho has approached us and de Boer is getting his brother and agent to flatter us certainly suggests one thing: whatever Moshiri is offering must be pretty impressive.

A vision mate. A vision backed up with the means to achieve it. Something we haven't seen for over 25 years.
All we need is a big name Manager to take it on.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Would Pellegrini be an option for DoF ?. It certainly would send out a very strong signal.

what is DoF?

 

[Goat]

what is DoF?

Director of Failure.

 

[Goat]

For the record and from what I can see, Southampton dont have a Director of Football, so I see no reason why we would appoint one.

 

[PITA]

Director of Failure.

That position is already filled.

 

[WarringtonBlue]

I do remember reading Koeman was really frustrated at the start of the season possibly losing Mane with little to no backing from the board

I'll wait and see. He seems like a sensible choice.

Better than Eddie Howe.

 

[paulbefc]

also what / where was the last club where he had expected to succeed, how did he do?

our expectations and pressures are higher than southamptons

it just feels to me that people are ok with koeman just because he's better than martinez 9(which isnt hard)

someone genuinely tell me why he is the man to take everton forward, to become a proper force in the league and europe

Why has he failed at a similar club like valencia?

why was he so poor in europe this season?

what good points would he actually bring to everton.

I want to be convinced.

Maybe ask a few Southampton fans on one of their forums and see what they think of him. I'm sure they're very happy with him as he's done an excellent job, but I don't know much about specific positives/negatives. I doubt you'll get any great answers on here.

WHAT'S THE HOLD UP. JUST APPOINT SOMEONE ALREADY FATHEAD

Fall outs with players and chairmen. Not always ended up in him leaving, mind.

And we've got one btw, he completely dismissed Deulofeu last season.
