Dark Munster Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 worked at Feyenoord but not at other clubs??? Ajax: He won the league twice + 2 cup wins Benfica: He won the Portuguese SuperCup PSV: He won the league Valencia: He won the Copa del Rey AZ: He won the Dutch Super Cup Well at least it looks like he'll take the FA cup more seriously than MP.
There when Franny scored Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Interesting article. Apologies if already posted. http://www.benefoot.net/koeman-gave-feyenoord-its-pride-back/
EBS1980 Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Still no sign of a manager this morning ? To be fair it's only 7am!! Also it's only been just over a week since MoPo left. The timescale is before the worldcup.
musesaint Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 To be fair it's only 7am!! Also it's only been just over a week since MoPo left. The timescale is before the worldcup. Fair comment .. But I was hoping to get rid of my temp Avatar by the end of the week !
jasoneuelllfanclub Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Some Dutch guy on twitter reckons Koeman was on flight to London Heathrow yesterday which would tally up with the rumours he was shown around the facilities yesterday. If its true that the interview with Puel was cancelled yesterday then this would suggest to me Koeman is the one they want. Odds suggest he is run away favourite for the job, bookies usually right.
stanthemanfairoak Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Still no sign of a manager this morning ?think the MANAGER delivered my paper this morning ?

That's semi-promising, but why wouldn't he just fly direct from Amsterdam to Southampton. I know it's possible because I was looking at doing it last year while on holidays. Unless there's some belief he can more easily be hidden by coming through London first? Or Geoff forbid he's got interviews planned somewhere there.

DT Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Perhaps he was somewhere other than Holland to begin with? Like on his holibobs? Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk
Minsk Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 would like to hear someone's informed thoughts rather than read your cut-and-paste Guardian entries Glasgow, how come you were allowed back? Did you have to make certain promises? I guess the admin should no longer ban people. Just fine them a fiver and let them carry on as normal!
Convict Colony Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Yeah he arrived at 10:45am apparently on that flight yesterday at LHR T4, plenty of time to get down and scope it out.
Heisenberg Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 think the MANAGER delivered my paper this morning ? Tedious link: Fabio Capello looks like Postman Pat? But he's manager of Russia. We therefore Moscow for Koeman imho
trousers Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Glasgow, how come you were allowed back? Maybe the mods haven't spotted its the same person yet...?
CougarSaint Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 We're not always a year behind them: 1974 Norwich relegated from the old division 1 1974 Southampton relegated from the old division 1 2005 Norwich relegated from the premiership 2005 Southampton relegated from the premiership 2009 Norwich relegated from the championship 2009 Southampton relegated from the championship We dodged one bullet this year. And if I remember correctly, both excluded from European competition after the Heysel riot by Liverpool fans, a blow for two clubs steadily progressing at the time.

SaintRichmond Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 checked passenger list R KOEMAN seat 26b Does that mean there were 25 other applicants ?? Jeesh
adrian lord Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 If Koeman is announced shortly it will transform the mood around Saints and the fans. Lets hope!
Convict Colony Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 checked passenger list R KOEMAN seat 26b What a tight arse if he doesn't fly business
farawaysaint Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 What a tight arse if he doesn't fly business Club flew him up maybe? We're the tight arses
musesaint Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Club flew him up maybe? We're the tight arses Start as you mean to go on !
Dan Johnson Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Just to add to the airport rumors, my mate works at airport security at Soton airport & said Koeman passed through yesterday. whether that was outbound or inbound I don't know. Suppose could have flown in to London & out from Southampton
musesaint Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 If Koeman is announced shortly it will transform the mood around Saints and the fans. Lets hope! Totally agree ... If this goes on much longer they'll be fans hanging from the Itchen Bridge by the end of the week !
Foxstone Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Noting that Feyenoord have 5 players in the Dutch world cup squad (against Ajax's 3), and 4 of those being defenders. Just thinking that might imply that Koeman knows how to set up a defence well, and build fast, pacy attacks from that stability? Just a thought - He might well be a good strategic fit for us.
Matthew Le God Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Mr Koeman at London Gatwick Airport last night. It looks like him and it is an airport. However... that picture does not confirm it is Gatwick airport or that it was last night.
itchen_dan Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 It looks like him and it is an airport. However... that picture does not confirm it is Gatwick airport or that it was last night. Take it as you will... ABlackman_: The big man, Ronald Koeman, at Gatwick airport last night. #SaintsFC http://t.co/j9eMh3IPDK EDIT: It was Heathrow not Gatwick. ABlackman_: @marcusbraeburn it's actually Heathrow not Gatwick, my mistake. It's the outbound lounge so he had already been in UK. Was taken at 8pm.
Isla Wight Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Mr Koeman at London Gatwick Airport last night. Is that an Eterna watch he's wearing?

ABlackman_: @marcusbraeburn it's actually Heathrow not Gatwick, my mistake. It's the outbound lounge so he had already been in UK. Was taken at 8pm. Didn't think it looked like Gatwick! Could've been coming for an interview, but seems like we're going to have this wrapped up fairly soon.
austsaint Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 checked passenger list R KOEMAN seat 26b I hope, for his sake, that was an aisle seat, not a middle seat scrap for the armrests! Once you de-sensitise from the Club's previous Dutch Coaching experiment the prospect of RK's arrival is quite exciting.
Dan Johnson Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Could this potentially be the highest profile manager Saints have had? I'd be made up, he'd be my chocie
Charlie Wayman Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Didn't think it looked like Gatwick! Could've been coming for an interview, but seems like we're going to have this wrapped up fairly soon. He's not smiling 'though and why the hurry to get home. I would hav e thought he'd stay overnight and see Staplewood and all the other infra-structure, surely that couldn't be done in an over & back trip?
View From The Top Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 He's not smiling 'though and why the hurry to get home. I would hav e thought he'd stay overnight and see Staplewood and all the other infra-structure, surely that couldn't be done in an over & back trip? Why not? People do it all the time.
View From The Top Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Could this potentially be the highest profile manager Saints have had? I'd be made up, he'd be my chocie We are all assuming that we want him & he wants us. After yesterday, we simply don't know!
SuperMikey Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 He's not smiling 'though and why the hurry to get home. I would hav e thought he'd stay overnight and see Staplewood and all the other infra-structure, surely that couldn't be done in an over & back trip? Course you can see it all in a day, he would've been at SMS for roughly 12.30-1pm, couple of hours talks there and an hour around staplewood then back at Heathrow for 7ish. Only an hour's flight from Dam, done it myself a couple of times. Anyway, not sure why you're concerned about managers Charlie, didn't Wenger just sign a new deal last week?
Pancake Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 I see that Koeman's son (?) on twitter follows SaintsFC. And Spurs ha ha!
shurlock Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Noting that Feyenoord have 5 players in the Dutch world cup squad (against Ajax's 3), and 4 of those being defenders. Just thinking that might imply that Koeman knows how to set up a defence well, and build fast, pacy attacks from that stability? Just a thought - He might well be a good strategic fit for us. He likes to push the fullbacks as far up as possible - Shaw would be brilliant in his system. Clyne wouldn't be bad either
Tokyo-Saint Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 It looks like him and it is an airport. However... that picture does not confirm it is Gatwick airport or that it was last night. He should be made to have his photo taken holding a copy of today's paper. Amateurs.
Ken Tone Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Much easier or fly to/from Southampton/Amsterdam though ...why london? Unless you can get a posh seat there, and he's not prepared toix with the hoi poloi on Flybe?
farawaysaint Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Mr Koeman at London Gatwick Airport last night. A quick google image search confirms the image is not an old one or at least not one posted online previously. Can't help with the airport though
BotleySaint Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Mr Koeman at London Gatwick Airport last night. "Hey, someone's pinched my boarding pass... You there with the camera!"
Heisenberg Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Either Koeman joins or I’m going to look pretty ridiculous next season......
SaintRichmond Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 He likes to push the fullbacks as far up as possible [/b]- Shaw would be brilliant in his system. Clyne wouldn't be bad either I thought that was illegal in the U K ??
richard Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Either Koeman joins or I’m going to look pretty ridiculous next season...... Haha!
