Bucks Saint Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Can't understand why he hasn't been a bit busier speaking to some of the players. Should've at least phoned Ossie if he didn't turn up. some things are still done in private
Badger Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Who is this ****ing woman asking about Suarez and Van Gaal? What's this ***** doing asking questions about Suarez!? Typical man. Unfortunately they can probably work a better headline if they tease a response out of RK on that rather than anything else (apart from Ronald lining up a toe to toe with Lovren or Osvaldo on their return).
Viking Warrior Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 I thought this was a saints press conference not a bloody liver or united question session He's not happy about lovren . Missed the comment about Ossie
KelvinsRightGlove Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Nice of you to get offended of behalf of women. Handbag at dawn. How predictable. Idiot.
KingdomCome Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Ha! Not most, I was amazed how quickly his followers went up so clicked through a few, they were nearly all fake. Not tweeting = fake account? I've never tweeted but I follow Koeman. You're making me question my very existence.
Saint Fan CaM Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 (edited) I'm right p1ssed off! Waited for this threads stream, then fed up with waiting I opened the actual U-tube stream in a different window...waited...nothing. Came back to this thread to hear the last minute of the interview! Will it be shown again anywhere (at least I can skip through the Utd b*llocks)? Edited 11 July, 2014 by Saint Fan CaM
Pastor Patrón Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 There's simply isn't the bandwidth to go through all the things you don't understand. Adrian being a sarcastic tit, this is new and exciting.
pap Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 What's this ***** doing asking questions about Suarez!? Typical man. Nice of you to get offended of behalf of women. Handbag at dawn. How predictable. Idiot. Where's the foetus going to gestate?
Viking Warrior Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Squarez great player , fantastic player . Best player in the world blah blah blah Van gal fantastic manager , best manager in the world . Blah blah blah Oh an a couple of bits about saints I bet sky just show the comments re squarez and van gal Thankfully I listened to it on you tube
RobM Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Crapola questions from the journos, really. Interesting to hear the bit at the end about Schneiderlin; hopefully RK can turn him around. RK obviously got a way to go on the patter. All sounding a bit Goldmember atm. Even so, very refreshing to hear a Saints manager speaking English. I thought the bit about Morgan was positive, did I miss something that suggested there was a problem?

Wade Garrett Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Where's the foetus going to gestate? In a box!
Badger Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 No bids for Schneiderlin. Well, none that Reed has informed RK of. Even if true, it does not mean that his agent isn't hawking him around, or in discussion with a certain load of North London yobbos. But for the time being, happy to cling to the hope Morgan will be with us next season.
iansums Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Someone summarise please Adrian has upset Pastor, DuncanRG is really a woman and Saint Fan Cam missed the whole bloody thing.
Saint_Jonny Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 #saintsfc Koeman on Lovren: "There's always a way forward I've spoken to Dejan twice, there's a contract on the table, he comes back Sunday"
berkshiresaint Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 I'm beginning to have a man crush on this Koeman fella, Lovren staying possibly, Spider staying almost definitely, Pelle nearly complete, more players on the way & he calls the club southshampton The guys a legend.
pap Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 I thought the bit about Morgan was positive, did I miss something that suggested there was a problem? Seemed positive, but difficult to be certain. I look forward for it being true.
St_Tel49 Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Why can't the person managing the Press Conference simply say "We are not here to answer questions about other club's players or managers. Can we move on please" That women at the start was mind-numblingly tedious with her line of questioning.
DuncanRG Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Nice of you to get offended of behalf of women. Handbag at dawn. I'm not acting on anyone's behalf, just good practice to call people out on sexist garbage. #saintsfc Koeman on Lovren: "There's always a way forward I've spoken to Dejan twice, there's a contract on the table, he comes back Sunday" I missed him saying there was a contract on the table. He might just mean he has a contract to honour, but I wouldn't be surprised if we offered him a big pay rise.

Wiggles31 Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Impressed. Liked the news on Pelle. Used to be so frustrating that refusal to mention any players we were on the verge of signing before.
Badger Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Crapola questions from the journos, really. Interesting to hear the bit at the end about Schneiderlin; hopefully RK can turn him around. RK obviously got a way to go on the patter. All sounding a bit Goldmember atm. Even so, very refreshing to hear a Saints manager speaking English. Thats a little unfair, I thought he came across well, although possibly a little too willing to discuss sideshows like LVG , and that buck toothed tw^ts move to Barcelona. As you say, good to hear a Saints manager speaking English. Al in all, well done RK, I'm reasonably optimistic with him, just hope Reed et al enable him to fulfill his role. Reckon he did well there, straight answers to everything, and hasn't thrown anyone under a bus. Agree, he's probably in some difficulty in dealing with the Lovren, and Osvaldo issues so as not to show our hand, or weaken any negotiations we be trying to have. some things are still done in private "behind closed doors"... I think he needs to go back to a nunnery to brush up on his interview/manager speak. Theres a good one near Sc^nthorpe apparently. I'm disappointed RK did not work a single "since I've been in the building" into his press conference, or "draw a blue line under it ".

Quote is from radio Solent twitter, must have said it in their interview with koeman

As you say, good to hear a Saints manager speaking English. Maybe, but only a little. Overall the transparency of the interview was very good. Bit of time will see him pick up the nuances, especially as he's evidently making the effort - but there was an over reliance of certain key phrases. He'll get over it. Liked the forthright stance on Lovren too.
DuncanRG Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Quote is from radio Solent twitter, must have said it in their interview with koeman Thanks, just seen it. It does look like some kind of new contract is seen as a 'way forward'. Do we have any idea how much money he's on now? If we can get Osvaldo off the books and that's what it takes I think Lovren's well worth a bumper contract.
Beckenham Saint Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Adrian being a sarcastic tit, this is new and exciting. Pastor Patrón being a tedious bore in yet another (albeit in vain) attempt to maybe one day be as good a wum as Glasgow or Turkish, this is new and exciting. Morgan supposedly staying is the key point. Absolutely. I believe Morgan is our best player, and invaluable to us. Will be a massive boost if he stays. Knowing Lovren has a way back, despite revealing himself to be a tit, is also good news as he is a quality player, and it's nice to know that Pellé is close to signing but the news on Schneiderlin is the best thing to come out of that press conference, for me.
Matthew Le God Posted 11 July, 2014 Author Posted 11 July, 2014 As its no longer live, can a mod please change the thread title to something like... "Ronald Koeman's first Southampton press conference" Because if you skip to 44:23 in the video in the opening post you can watch it again.

SaintRichmond Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 He's good at smelling our players. Brilliant. ? Is that the same as brown nosing ??

I think you're safe MLG, the only person likely to pedantically criticise putting LIVE in a thread title for a video that is no longer live, is you
scotty Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 I only heard it on a dodgy stream. Was Koeman asked whether he had been given a specific target to achieve, (top half/better than last season/europa...) ?
Badger Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 I missed him saying there was a contract on the table. He might just mean he has a contract to honour, but I wouldn't be surprised if we offered him a big pay rise. That was my original interpretation of it as well. But if we can keep Morgan with an improved contract then its money well spent.
Viking Warrior Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 It didn't matter who was asking the questions re squarez Make or female . It was not the place especially at the start of the interview . How comes that female reporter was allowed to ask so many questions? Or were there only four journos present 2 females and 2 males Was my mate Alec crook there ?
the saint in winchester Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Why can't the person managing the Press Conference simply say "We are not here to answer questions about other club's players or managers. Can we move on please" That women at the start was mind-numblingly tedious with her line of questioning. Absolutely true there, Tel. Surely a basic moderator could be used to pre-approve and then disallow such questions if asked.

Jimmy_D Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 I only heard it on a dodgy stream. Was Koeman asked whether he had been given a specific target to achieve, (top half/better than last season/europa...) ? Koeman congratulated the team on last season's achievement, pointed out this is a new season, and said that he hopes to carry on improving the team and do better than last season, but there was no mention of 'targets' as such.
Appy Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 I have an identical twin who posts on this forum, have you guessed who it is yet? Saint Charlie
buctootim Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 I have an identical twin who posts on this forum, have you guessed who it is yet? Rolf Harris
View From The Top Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Seemed positive, but difficult to be certain. I look forward for it being true. It would appear on face value that we were comfortable with Shaw and Lallana going but that really doesn't apply with Dejan and Morgan.
Foxstone Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 .. but still nowhere near as cliched as good ol' Nige used to be. No "Best Endeavours" then ?!
Grey Crab Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 I liked that. Things are looking good for the sous-hampton.

Bereft of life it rests in peace, its curled up its tootsies, its run down the curtain and joint the choir invisible, it.. is an ex press conference

SaintRobbie Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 I liked that. Things are looking good for the sous-hampton. He'sh a crayzee guy. I liked that too... Made me smile. We are now Sous hampton!! Came over well. Especially over Lovren.
Saint Charlie Posted 11 July, 2014 Posted 11 July, 2014 Thats the benefit of an experienced Manager, and a big name/personality.
