Ronald Koeman discussion

[tommye]

Massive week for the fat headed Dutch one. Results go against us and he'll be gone before the months out.

 

[bring the ghost on]

The players we haven't bought is the issue - that and our terrible tactics, team selection and lack of pace.

But otherwise we're looking good yeh?

I have just seen the press conference. I just wish he would at least look confident and sound confident. I don't think he does and he is more concerned giving excuses and reasons as to why in his mind things are not going well. I don't get the sense that he thinks we can go out and win games. A daft sounding statement but that's how I view him coming across.

Whichever way this is to go,I hope it doesn't drag on too much longer, we either click and bring back some excitement or pull the trigger before the season is a complete write off.

I can only reply I disagree with your position at present. I think he is in the hazardous process of changing the team to suit his vision, which is the cause of all second season problems. Hence I am prepared to be patient. As ever it's subjective.

Honestly am not sure HOW you can disagree with him. He has stated facts, not conjecture or opinion. We have set up with 5 at the back and 2 defensive midfielders on a couple occasions and look completely vulnerable most of the time. We don't press like he stated many times is what he wants and he bought players that done or can't do that as well. We don't have any clear thought of what he is trying to accomplish.

Again, it's not an opinion, it's fact based.

 

[Moomin]

and he told you this personally did he?

Well he told me that he'd to him, lose this and your gone.

Even if we lose tomorrow, i can't see him getting the sack.

TWO 'infamous votes of confidence'
But you might be right

Totally depressing listening to those idiots on sky sports soccer saturday right now, sad thing is , they're spot on.

To be fair he had done well under trying circumstances at Southampton and consequently had premier league experience. He wasn't top of my list , Favre was my pick, followed by the Spaniard now at PSG I think,(sorry his name evades me at present).
But we have no say in these decisions and can only deal with what we are given, which is a metaphor for life in general really.

he wasnt a bad appointment by any means, but IMO he was a guarantee of us not getting any further than the best of the last two bosses....at best. unambitious

Wonder if Bill has actually told him yet that we don't actually own the training ground.

....even though we are getting money for the naming rights........

If Holland approached him/us and it was agreed he could go we'd have no compensation to pay him surely? Knowing our luck (and his) we'd sack him, pay £10m out and he gets the national team job!
Seriously though, a win tomorrow and we can get things going. Nothing less is needed now.

That’s what we thought after Bournemouth

Season starts here and all.

Then along came Limassol and Burnley

Fingers crossed the Dutch come a’ calling, though

Maybe not. But follow that up with a defeat at home to Arsenal and he'll be lucky to survive it. Hopefully its all conjecture as we get a win tomorrow.

Agreed. It can't go on.

Are you still a fan of Quique Setien? He seems to be getting a tune out of Betis at the moment

I am indeed. Doing well so far. I mentioned him yesterday in the new manager thread.

However I've no idea if he would do well in the Prem League. Just like the focus on attack and Las Palmas played some great incisive attacking football when on song.
