Ronald Koeman discussion

[MrGrumpy]

Do you remember the "Koeman's got a red Kopite Crimbo tree" affair three months ago?

And I'm the one out of line for posting actual facts.

You couldn't make it up.

How do you know it wasn't a Man U tree? Or a Spain tree or any other team that plan in red.

It's a Christmas tree who cares what colour it is.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Koeman liked the RS a kid, therefore he wants to manage them

Errr ok, perfect logic

He probably would, one of the most famous clubs in the world but ok that's football

This thread is both the worst and best thing on the internet at the same time.

Koeman.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Apart from Southampton, which other Premier League club would you like to manage?

"I was, when I was young, I was a fan of Liverpool."

Yeah, nothing remotely to do with Liverpool that answer. How could that enormous leap be made? Probably the answer was Bournemouth.

'kin ell.

My favourite RK moment was when Mane scored in the last minute at Goodison park and RK cartwheeled all the way around the ground and then hugged Mane and cheered as loud as he could.

O wait that didn't happen and he looked really pissed off

Our former manager was wandering around Boston with John Henry. Surely that means at some point he too wanted to manage Liverpool before he 'managed' Everton?

If he's said that before he had any connection to us, I'm struggling to see an issue.

Martinez interviewed for the job. You don't interview for a job you don't want.

Yes, they approached him. He must have wanted the job too. Maybe not with the same emotional pull that Koeman would have had.

I think if he had become LFC manager it wouldn't have taken the red cult too much time in getting that information that Koeman was a boyhood red etc.

State of calling our manager a kopite. On derby week. And it not being the daftest thing you've said this week.

Well, sometimes you do for leverage with current employers, but generally you wouldn't! Just Talksport Dave drumming up conversation

 

[MrGrumpy]

Yes, like they all were boyhood reds.

But that wasn't the point. The point was that he used that information to answer a question 18 months ago about what team other than Southampton he'd like to manage.

If you asked every manager in the prem league who you would like to manage everyone one of them would say Utd, RS or Chelsea. Wouldn't stop u employing one of them

...more so if you supported them.

 

[MrGrumpy]

When is RK press conference?

 

[Groucho]

All ifs and buts here mate. And Liverpool may have been Martinez's dream job for all you know.

No way am I holding those comments (made when Koeman was Southampton manager) against him.

 

[Westend Blue]

Is that his way of saying to the board "don't you dare try and get maximum profit this summer"

Would honestly rather another year from rom then a financial gain

Dave modelling the device he used when reading Bobby's mind there

I dont get a buzz from making a profit it on a player! I do when players are banging goals in for fun..
2 years left keep him!!

If Koeman can pull off a win in either of these next two games it's an indication we have a serious manager on our hands. The home form is now starting to look top 4 level. If he can add in away wins at the top 6 there's no reason we won't compete in seasons to come. Easier said than done mind you.
