[POLL] Should Ronald Koeman be sacked?

[Toast]

Siggy, Gana and Schneiderlin.
All bang in form last season, genuinely awful this season.
I'd like to know the reason 3 top pro's have totally gone off the boil for him.

Tuchel won't come ( opinion, not fact, but it seems very unlikely )

Unsworth would likely give us a short-term fillip, but has he really got the skills to take the top job ? I don't know, and neither do you.

£6M - that will have some very decent takers.

Unsworth? I'd rather find out than stick with the present manager. One year contract and see how it goes.

I was firmly in the koeman to stay camp before today but definitely feel the winds of change are now pointing towards the exit.
Hopefully with the Dutch job going we might not get totally shafted with compensation as de telegraaf are doing everything for him to take that job.
How Koeman cannot consider Davies part of our best 11 is beyond me. His stubbornness in refusing to play proper wingers on the wing is baffling and he won’t drop players despite poor form (I know that he dropped Williams today but has stuck by him for far too long). Schneiderlin is stinking the place out and getting a free pass when we should only be playing two dm in the majority of games and at the minute it should be Gueye.
STOP BEING SO STUBBORN YOU MASSIVE MOONHEAD AND PLAY PLAYERS IN THE RIGHT POSITION AND DROP PLAYERS OUT OF FORM, EVEN IF IT MEANS PLAYING ALL THE KIDS!!!

Give Unsworth to the end of the season with a guarantee that he then either gets the job permanently or has the option of going back to the U23's.

Yep money talks and 6m will do very nicely with about 90% of the world's managers I'd imagine. Koeman is already one of the highest paid managers in this league so I think anyone fancying a move to the premier league we'd look a very good proposition.

More than happy to have Unsworth right at this moment in time for a few weeks/months if someone isn't available until end of season. I would imagine he'd at least instill some basic necessities into them and have us resembling something like a football team.

 

[Eggs]

He’s got enough money.


If he has an ounce of integrity, he will resign now.

..no chance. These fellas are all on an ego drive, he’ll surely feel he can still succeed.

 

[Goat]

Has to be mostly kopites, it just has to be.

I'm not a kopite last time I checked.

 

[FC sexy xxx]

get Out of our club you fat faced flute.

The time for him to go is the moment we know we have someone else better lined up to come in straight away. Give me a list of managers who would come here and explain who's the best option... if you can't do that, he stays. And I'm not happy with him either, but you can't just bin him off and replace him with Ralph the lad in that analytics department who's on an industrial placement year from Nottingham Trent Uni.

 

[goodisonopheliac]

Jesus Christ, this is worse than the ratings Martinez was getting in his third season, you know Koeman's really ballsed up when even Martinez gets better ratings.

Do I want him gone? Yes. Will he go? No.

Just caretaker role till Christmas would be fine and see how we do. See if he can achieve a balanced side. See what Barkleys stance is. See whether Lookman / Mirallas perform as they will get a chance. There are lots of positives in a change. I honestly cannot think of a single one in keeping the current status quo.

He is finished here.

IIRC Pellegrini was interviewed for the job last time around. That type of cash will flush candidates out.

 

[Tennessee Blue Mike]

Unsworth would get the spirit and passion back if nothing else. We are sleepwalking.

The players will give their all for Unsworth. If we have that attitude we'll be more than ok. The talent is there. A Target man is required still, but that can be sorted in January.

Well were a couple of results away from entering the relegation zone.
Totally unacceptable.

The buck stops with the manager and he simply has to go.
The players do not believe in him. He does not inspire them. The tactics seemingly are lacking; there is no strategy or direction within the team, and quite simply, he is failing with the tools provided to him.

I have to be honest; I am astonished it has come to this with him, especially so soon.

1- He previously had a fantastic defensive record at Saints/last year and we simply cant defend now.
2- He had a swagger, a ruthlessness and a streak in him which shouted out 'winner'. He had a reputation; an authority. He doesnt appear to have any fire in his belly now.
3- His disconnect with the club/fans seems to grow with every passing week.
4- He isnt sticking to his principles. Does he really back himself if he is selecting a player who he publicly degraded and said would never play for the club under him. Equally, his inconsistent team selections seem to suggest he doesnt back himself to get it right. Take Martina. Starts most games despite being average yet is no where to be seen today. Lookman cant get any time. Mirallas out one week, in the next. Tom Davies again an example of this.
5- Tactics. How on earth can you have an average of about 2 shots on target each game with a squad that has Rooney/Siggy/Sandro/Lookman/Vlasic/DCL/Davies/Mirallas in?

I really thought he would succeed and allow the club to build little by little so by the time his contract is up, we were firmly the best of the rest and at least heavily pushing the top four/getting top six with the intention of his predecessor taking us to the next level, ideally with Bramley Moore in the pipeline.

I dont have a dislike for the guy but its obvious it isnt working and whether targets werent delivered to him in the summer (which I believe they werent) or not, he doesnt appear to want to be here and isnt utilising his tools effectively.

I would have sacked him over the international break personally. If the board have any ambition to at least finish seventh, they must act very soon before the season is over.

Prey it happens prior to Lyon/Arsenal otherwise we could be bottom three this time next week.
