SW5 SAINT Posted 14 June, 2014 Share Posted 14 June, 2014 I posted a couple of days ago that, based on what little we know, I thought Koeman was likely to be our new manager. Can someone tell me at what point on this lengthy thread it became a certainty? I've just been trying to work that one out. Trawling back a few pages, I still couldn't work it out…….

Maggie May Posted 14 June, 2014 Share Posted 14 June, 2014 I have my reservations about Koeman. Legendary name but I have this eerie feeling that he'll flop with us. Please feel free to dig this up next May if Saints get him and he performs wonders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please feel free to dig this up next May if Saints get him and he performs wonders. I know what you mean. It's always the same though, whether it be a player or manager.....Will they gel The main thing for me is that on paper this looks like a very strong appointment and the board means business. What more can they do without a proven reliable crystal ball? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Please feel free to dig this up next May if Saints get him and he performs wonders. Depends I suppose on what people are expecting next season....I feel a lot of people are going take last seasons record finish of 8th as some sort of minimum benchmark for next season anything less will be seen as a failure I suspect. Slightly unfair on the new bloke considering he might have a hell of a re-building job on the 1st team this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pastor Patrón Posted 14 June, 2014 Share Posted 14 June, 2014 Is this how you would conduct transfer decisions? Not entirely but it helps to build up an impression of him, along with having an exceptionally mediocre goalscoring record and not looking particularly quick, physical or skilfull. It's a dissapointing drop in calibre from Lovren, Wanyama and Osvaldo last summer if we get him, even though Osvaldo turned out to be mental.

CB Fry Posted 14 June, 2014 Share Posted 14 June, 2014 Also, talk about announcing it while no-one is looking! Depressing for their fans before a big England game.
