Toon Saint Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Increasingly excited about this potential appointment. Let's hope the board are on form and sell Koeman the club as best they can (please Ralphy no talk of marketing staff recruited from Apple!) Just looking at his goal scoring record as a CB - it is absolutely staggering! Managed 26 for PSV in one season and 19 for Barca in another. 239 in 685 games in total! Obviously means nothing with regard to his managerial skills, but could certainly see the likes of Lovren being content playing under someone with such a high profile.
St Jim Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 I see that Koeman's son (?) on twitter follows SaintsFC. And Spurs ha ha! So Spuds are already interviewing for MoPo's replacement then.
trousers Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Earlobe test results are back from the lab....93.4% likelihood that its him.
John Boy Saint Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Mr Koeman at London Gatwick Airport last night. Doesn't look like he would take der Schitt from der Lallana either......... Or any other bugger for that matter.
Professor Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 If Koeman was here yesterday and went home, its not really evidence of anything except the probability that he was interviewed. Doesn't exclude one or more other candidates and doesn't mean that a decision has been taken. Whoever gets the job will be in Southampton when the announcement is made for the photoshoot and press conference or press release. If it is to be Koeman, and I think many fans would be extremely pleased if it is, he'll have to get back here quite soon.
Ken Tone Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Either Koeman joins or I’m going to look pretty ridiculous next season...... Some humour at last!
Bearsy Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 prob wants to make amends for knocking us out of world cup 94. I will forgive koeman his past sins if he takes Saints to Wembley.

Maybe he had has his interview before yesterday (Man u did theirs in portugal) and he was just coming over to look around the facilities, sign the paperwork and do the applicable photos ?
Pancake Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Maybe he had has his interview before yesterday (Man u did theirs in portugal) and he was just coming over to look around the facilities, sign the paperwork and do the applicable photos ? I see he was playing at Gleneagles last week.
Scummer 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 Those 2 Super Cups are those country's equivalents of the Charity Shield. I think in both cases he took over clubs that had just won the league. So neither of those wins are particularly impressive.

once_bitterne Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Those 2 Super Cups are those country's equivalents of the Charity Shield. I think in both cases he took over clubs that had just won the league. So neither of those wins are particularly impressive. And the Ajax wins were over a decade ago and the year he won a Cup at Valencia they were near the bottom of the league. He seems to specialise in doing one season per club and is pretty much a journeyman manager who was deemed by Swansea to be an inferior option to Garry Monk and by West Ham to be worse than Fat Sam. Still he has applied for every PL job he thinks he has a sniff at so is the easy option for hiring by our failed ice hockey head coach chairman.

pap Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 prob wants to make amends for knocking us out of world cup 94. I will forgive koeman his past sins if he takes Saints to Wembley. Glad I'm not the only one who remembers this. Platt. Splat. The big danger is that if Koeman takes the job, Platt will sit in his car outside SMS plotting revenge.
CB Saint Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 If we get Koeman can we call him RoKo? The last name I seem to recall calling koeman is "you cheating ****ing Dutch ******"
Heisenberg Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Is it time to start thinking about new songs for Koeman? any we can steal from past clubs?
miserableoldgit Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Someone on FB posted that it is going to be Neil Lennon......allegedly.... Sent from my HTC One using Tapatalk

What had Poch won before we employed him...near relegation with Espanyol!
del boy Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Is it time to start thinking about new songs for Koeman? any we can steal from past clubs? Maybe... "You signed MoPo, we signed Ronnie Koeman, Ronnie Koeman..." (might be dependent on league position / score)
positivepete Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 If we get Koeman can we call him RoKo? Might get confused with the new Pimpley training ground. Hope he didn't go there instead of Staplewood.
Pancake Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Koeman 'ave a go if you think you're 'ard enough... Sorry for this, but when I read that it put this in my head (in the style of... Gary Glitter): Koeman Koeman, Koeman Koeman, Koeman Koeman Kooooeman... THE SAINTS As I said, sorry.
Saint Charlie Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Brighton close to naming Sami Hyypia at their Boss. Despite all the Koeman talk there hasnt been anything concrete yet, sure we have spoken to lots of Managers.
Heisenberg Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Koeman 'ave a go if you think you're 'ard enough... Thats good Koeman yah, my lord, Koeman yah! Koeman yah, my lord, Koeman yah! Koeman yah, my lord, Koeman yah. O Lord, Koeman yah

Panda Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Is a new song really needed? What is wrong with the old standard: Koeman you reds, Koemon you reds ...
Matthew Le God Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Why is he leaving leverkusen ?? thought he was doing well there. He was sacked at the beginning of April after a run of 1 win in 12 games.
Viking Warrior Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Gate 22 Could be he was getting a connecting flight to edinburgh or glasgow, Thats one of the gates I have used for a flight to Edinburgh from T5 are there any clubs in scotland looking for a manager by any chance? I hope he signs for us
Tokyo-Saint Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 ooooh good conspiracy work Viking, I like it. I hope he liked Stapplewood and the New Forrest breakfast we laid on for him.
Convict Colony Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 There needs to be a red light district reference and goldfinger one in there somewhere.

Tokyo-Saint Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Koeman said to have enjoyed tour of the new facilities.
stockportsaint Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 I did too CB, what game was it, all I remember is shouting out the abuse. Me too. I think that was the game where they miked up Graham Taylor for the whole match for a documentary, from which the phrase "do I not like that" sprung. Yes, that's not a typo, that's what he actually said, about a thousand times during the 1 hr docu.
SOTONS EAST SIDE Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Koeman offered Saints job according to Twitter..

buctootim Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Ronald Koeman has been approached by Southampton for the position of manager. Egbers is a Dutch sports journalist. Hard to know whether that means he has been asked to apply or he has been offered the job.

Toon Saint Posted 3 June, 2014 Posted 3 June, 2014 Wont believe he's signed until I see it on his Wiki page One of these ambitions was to join Southampton FC, Ralph Krueger (Southamptons Chairman) contacted him upon the Departure of Mauricio Pochettino. Koeman was promised a £50m transfer budget and aims to get Southampton FC into the Champions League. [16] Nice one Glasgow
