Bad Wolf Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 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. Silly comment. In that case anyone who enjoys films or any fictional TV series also lives in a fantasy world...
Ohio Saint Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 Silly comment. In that case anyone who enjoys films or any fictional TV series also lives in a fantasy world... Wow! You WWE fans can be really touchy!!
ericofarabia Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 Wow! You WWE fans can be really touchy!! Not sure, but if WWE is anything to do with "wrestling" then Touchy is far too polite. The C word would be closer.
BlakeySFC Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 Anyone who likes Wrestling is a c**t as far as I'm concerned, watching a scripted sporting series and commenting with things like 'OH I CAN'T BELIEVE THAT JUST HAPPENED' is f**king ludicrous. Brainless, moronic 'sport' of the highest order.
Ken Tone Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 Can you bet on him having legs? I'd say that was a sure thing. I'd go for a double.
Ken Tone Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 Is nepotism good? It's weird isn't ? In just about any other area of work, apart from a family firm of course, to employ a relative would be seen as close to corrupt. In football, anything goes.
EBS1980 Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 Well he is back from his holiday in Turkey today, let's hope he is flying back to the UK and the deal can be announced shortly. Wonder if the "paperwork" Les was referring to is in relation to sorting out his backroom team?

Black Sea Saint Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 The Koeman brothers are coming, amazing I love Fargo and the Hudsucker Proxy
dubai_phil Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 The Koeman brothers are coming, amazing I love Fargo and the Hudsucker Proxy you worked on that all night didn't you.... Still, much better than the Nepo joke
Saint Charlie Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 Have they worked together in the past? Would also need another first team coach you would think. I hope Ronald can actually bring in the people he wants, the whole setup is just as important as the Manager.
Dalek2003 Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 So, we still haven't signed Koeman yet. Won't get my hopes up until confirmation that he is Saints manager, too much speculation at the moment.

In just about any other area of work, apart from a family firm of course, to employ a relative would be seen as close to corrupt. In football, anything goes. Nepotism is a family tradition. Given that we are run by the daughter of the late owner, nepotism is hardly unheard of at SFC. At least its better than the old school tie way of doing things, dontcha know.

I am really pleased you think of these things as I am sure there is no one at the club with the wherewithall and experience to consider these complex issues.

I hope Ronald can actually bring in the people he wants, the whole setup is just as important as the Manager. I can't see why not. It's not as though there is a backup team still at the club. Makes sense to allow him to bring in who he wants to work with.
Saint Charlie Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 I am really pleased you think of these things as I am sure there is no one at the club with the wherewithall and experience to consider these complex issues. Didn't say there wasn't!
St Chalet Posted 15 June, 2014 Author Posted 15 June, 2014 Wenger caught wind of the upcoming Nepotism and stuck in a £10m bid.
Saint Without a Halo Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 Is he the third brother thats kept chained up in the basement? He is the defensive coach!
Toon Saint Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 Our potential no.2. has managed Hungary, Feyenoord, and most recently RKC Waalwijk - the team that Martin Jol managed for 6 years before getting the Spurs job - albeit to relegation. That is more impressive than WBA's new manager's track-record. Think about that for a second.
Panda Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 Didn't say there wasn't! Look back over your last 100 posts or so - you have consistently claimed the board are incompetent.
Saint Charlie Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 Look back over your last 100 posts or so - you have consistently claimed the board are incompetent. Yes, but in this post I was just saying the back room team are often as important as the Manager, have you got an issue with that? If you are going to pick up on something, use one of these other 100 posts you mention, not one where I didn't criticise the Board at all, and was just making a sensible point. If they appoint Koeman then well done to them, they appear to be in control of the situation. There will still be an exodus of players which is a shame, and Ralph's PR at the start of the summer was dreadful, but there has been an improvement seemingly, although let's see how many players go and who the replacements are.
S-Clarke Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 Quotes from Erwin Koeman's agent: "It is true that there are talks going on (with Southampton)" "The idea is that Ronald is Head Coach and Erwin as his assistant"

At least its better than the old school tie way of doing things, dontcha know. On the whole, family brings loyalty. Something our team appears to need. Add the fact his brother is a highly respected coach in his own right, looks like the best two for one deal of the century! (I sense they'll be just a little bit better that Wotte a load of rubbish.

That does worry me slightly although if it is just down to transfer budget then lets hope he is given a decent one.
Saint-Armstrong Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 Surely there's a chant in there for us with the Koeman brothers?
Matthew Le God Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 Surely there's a chant in there for us with the Koeman brothers? It'll probably end up being something like this...
Matthew Le God Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 (edited) One of my favourite chants from another team. Would be cool but also a little odd singing another teams song. Saints fans already use it for Kelvin and Steven Davis. Edited 15 June, 2014 by Matthew Le God
The Cat Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 It'll probably end up being something like this... Please no, that's proper embarrassing.
The Cat Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 One of my favourite chants from another team. Would be cool but also a little odd singing another teams song. It's terrible, and we already do nothing but sing other teams songs!
Matthew Le God Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 Please no, that's proper embarrassing. I didn't say I liked it, but that is about as far as the Northam's imagination for two people with the same surname will go.
trousers Posted 15 June, 2014 Posted 15 June, 2014 Just received this from a Dutch friend: "Congratulations with Ronald Koeman. He did really well at Feyenoord. Hopefully he can do the same at Southampton. Rumours are that he is going to take our striker , Graziano Pelle with him. Also a great move. This Italian scored about 50 goals the last 2 weeks, very popular at Feyenoord. . A good bloke, sometimes a bit too full of himself, but when you score nobody bothers about that. When used well, he will do well over there. I’ll be watching Southamptom next season."
