Reasons Koeman won't head Barca's managerial short list:

The Barca players would hate him
The Barca board would hate him
The Barca fans would hate his hoofball

Apart from that he'd be a good choice.

great. hopefully he'll be staying at Everton then.

Barcelona like having ex players or staff to manage them. They'll take Ronko because, well, that's just Everton isn't it.

F off Everton.

Mark Hughes it is then.

Id take Luis Enrique!

Reds on the windup today about Koeman to Barca...they soon piped down when I reminded them that Klopp would be top of their list considering he's a 'managerial genius'.

I think he might be tempted by Arsenal.

Simeone anybody ? plays good football !

A lot will depend on the Everton project.
We all know that it took a lot to take him away from Southampton. I don't think the salary alone was the deciding factor.
It is clear that he has bought into the picture painted for him by Moshiri of where he wants the club to go.
The question is if he still believes in that ambition.
I think Arsenal certainly would /will be interested this summer.

I think we all knew that Koeman was just passing through to build up his CV

For that reason I'm not as gutted with the Barca links because I'd already come to terms that he wasn't here for a long time

It's just annoying that this is all happening now, when there aren't any clear replacements for Koeman should he decide to move on

Ideally we'd get at least another year out of him before he goes, which will give us time to line up a replacement, but if he wants out sooner and Arsenal/Barca are willing to pay the compo to get him out of his contract, then I will personally be nervous about the identity of the new appointment

This.
He's not here for long-term anyway.
Disagree though Mikey, there are plenty of other good managers out there we could replace him with.

A great shout mate.
I'd like someone closer to home with a bit more experience of english football.

Marco Silva would be a decent shout if Hull go down. Similar defensive solidity to his game, would probably jump at the opportunity. Any manager outside the top tier would, there's no better project in the prem outside the CL than this one.

Please, NOT EVEN IN JEST.
