SW5 SAINT Posted 14 June, 2014 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 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.
Ohio Saint Posted 14 June, 2014 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. 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?
Pastor Patrón Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 He looks bloody good... Yes you can tell by the fact that we'd be battling with Leicester for his signature.
Ohio Saint Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 Yes you can tell by the fact that we'd be battling with Leicester for his signature. Is this how you would conduct transfer decisions?
Goatboy Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 (edited) I've just been trying to work that one out. Trawling back a few pages, I still couldn't work it out……. KBillySupersound (or something like that) posted that it was done. Apparently he is ITK. Edited 14 June, 2014 by Goatboy
SuperSAINT Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 Yes you can tell by the fact that we'd be battling with Leicester for his signature. Glad we beat Huddersfield to Lambert.
doddisalegend Posted 14 June, 2014 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. 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.
Pastor Patrón Posted 14 June, 2014 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.
S-Clarke Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 West Brom going for Alan Irvine. LOL, yeah just saw that. Holy jeez. One relegation spot nailed.
doughnutman Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 Weren't we in competition with Cardiff for Wanyama and Fulham for Osvaldo last summer?
Goatboy Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 Weren't we in competition with Cardiff for Wanyama and Fulham for Osvaldo last summer? Facts will just ruin this board.
Saint Charlie Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 LOL, yeah just saw that. Holy jeez. One relegation spot nailed. Lets just get Koeman sorted. Until its confirmed anything could happen.
Batman Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 I would imagine WBA forums are in meltdown.http://www.wbaunofficial.org.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=28086
Webby Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 Aka Andrew Halford. Well known prat on twitter with a history of making sh1te up. Ludicrous that a loser like him would ever meet with club officials. I suspected bs myself but he's now named the guy as Gareth rogers.
SuperSAINT Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 http://www.wbaunofficial.org.uk/forum/showthread.php?tid=28086 Cheers Bats. "What a joke." "Pathetic." "Utter disgrace" "Gutted" "I could f*cking cry"
sotonist Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 I suspected bs myself but he's now named the guy as Gareth rogers. yeah the CEO is bound to be telling him that.
SNSUN Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 Lol@WBA. I don't want Sherwood here but he'd have been a better appointment there than Irvine. Not surprised their fans are going bat **** mental.
lloydie Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 That's what it's like to be Tottenham, never getting in the top four. You signed Mauricio, we signed Ronald Koeman, Ronald Koeman, Ronald Koeman Can we make this happen please??
View From The Top Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 I suspected bs myself but he's now named the guy as Gareth rogers. Andrew Halford is a delusional freak of the highest order.
SuperSAINT Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 Andrew Halford is a delusional freak of the highest order. Things like that are a recurring problem - Remember that skate reporter who tweeted something about Poch staying? The blew up so much it even got in the papers that he would sign a new contract & stay.
CB Fry Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 Also, talk about announcing it while no-one is looking! Depressing for their fans before a big England game. A pretty shameful "Bury bad news" tactic from WBA. Already they've put themselves under massive pressure.
supersonic Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 I suspected bs myself but he's now named the guy as Gareth rogers. He's a WWE fan, which means he lives in the fantasy world. Said he delivered something to his house - someone should ask him where Mr Rodgers lives.
Bewildered Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 He's a WWE fan, which means he lives in the fantasy world. Said he delivered something to his house - someone should ask him where Mr Rodgers lives. Paper round?
CamberwellSaint Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 Cheers Bats. "What a joke." "Pathetic." "Utter disgrace" "Gutted" "I could f*cking cry" Poor bastards. Those on here demanding fast appointments, ending uncertainty, etc etc: Be careful what you wish for. There but for the grace of God go us.
SNSUN Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 Ron Koeman's brother Erwin is currently out of a job. I wonder if he'll join the coaching staff...
Danny R Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 Ron Koeman's brother Erwin is currently out of a job. I wonder if he'll join the coaching staff... Desert fox in the box?
Lord Duckhunter Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 Lol at Chiles on ITV when talking about WBA's new appointment.

Viking Warrior Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 I shall send an condolence card to the WBA friend up here . I think they were going to appoint sherwood but according to 5 live last night. They said sherwood was trying to get more money for his coaches les Ferdinand . I guess WBA did have the money and pulled the plug . Poor sods
Olallana Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/southampton-eye-koeman-brothers-take-3694403 Would be brilliant to have two very experienced coaches that share the same football philosophy..
SNSUN Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 http://www.mirror.co.uk/sport/football/news/southampton-eye-koeman-brothers-take-3694403 That fixes it - either the Mirror get their stories from SaintsWeb forum or I work for them... :-)
Ivan Katalinic's 'tache Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 There you go. You wait for 1 Koeman and 2 come along at once. Typical.
Whitey Grandad Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 There you go. You wait for 1 Koeman and 2 come along at once. Typical. BOGOF, innit.
itchen_dan Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 Seems there may be something in the Erwin and Pelle links. Ronald's son has just retweeted this @feyenoordpings: 'Koeman neemt broer mee naar Southampton en hoopt op Pellè': http://t.co/z4xlFsUjYF http://t.co/j41OCN173B @ Feyenoordpings "Koeman takes brother to Southampton and hopes Pellè ': http://t.co/z4xlFsUjYF http://t.co/j41OCN173B I know in the article they only quote the Mirror but for Tim Koeman to retweet it means it's more that just speculation.

The Majestic Channon Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 My source tells me that betfair says koeman has legs. Make of that what you will Sent from my C1905 using Tapatalk

offix Posted 14 June, 2014 Posted 14 June, 2014 Dutch papers are reporting that the deal with Koeman is "virtually" done. Galatasaray is still our competition for him, but they expect that if the final details can be agreed upon in the next 48 hours it will be both brothers Koeman to Saints
