trousers Posted 13 May, 2016 Share Posted 13 May, 2016 Koeman does not deny anything and doesn't say he's staying at the ongoing press conference for the Palace game. Normal sort of play - I am manager for one more year on my contract and next week there is a chance to discuss future before I go on holiday. So - when the board fail to make funds available and announce which of the best players are off in the summer (an undeniable proven track record since & including PottyChino leaving) we should worry. But of course the Board are going to job on to our best players and give Koeman a significant fighting fund to push on into the Champions a league next season aren't they? All eyes on Les, Mizz Liebherr and Ralf next week. Time to invest. Time to show ambition. Time to build. Time to secure our excellent management team. Most important week in Southamptons recent history might be next week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Supersubpuckett Posted 13 May, 2016 Share Posted 13 May, 2016 muppet sports reporter on radio2 this morning announced that koeman was favourite to take over at everton after resigning as boss of ajax last night......... i think the sky video says nothing will happen until he has spoken to the club after the palace game.

He doesn't give anything away. But i think he is an honourable man and if he is not convinced that we can improve he might go somewhere else for a fresh challenge. I wouldn't underestimate Everton. Very passionate fans and could be turned around relatively easily with a few good buys and better tactics. Can we do that much better than 7th? It's a tricky position we'll keep coming up against, and may have to keep losing youngish, good managers unless we push on. Good signs re VVD, Forster and JWP though.

Baird of the land Posted 13 May, 2016 Share Posted 13 May, 2016 Interesting reading their forum. There are clearly some deluded individuals who think Mourinho is realistically an option, who also seem to have decided that their new owner will make them the next Man City. Unless i'm missing something that isn't going to happen. Yet there are some sane individuals who whilst proud of their historic success realise there's a long hard slog up the table from where they are now. Personally i doubt Koeman would be interested. It seems different to the situation with Potch where we were being poached by a club higher in the league with a recent history of high placings. With Everton the squad needs serious reworking when you look beyond the 3 young crown jewels they are desperate not to have poached off them, 2 seasons of lower mid table finishes, they've got an old moderately bigger ground, marginally higher current revenue. It just doesn't come across to me as a significantly big step up compared to the risk. Personally i think they should be jumping to secure De Boer, who looks perfect option to try and turn them round. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L_O_Z Posted 13 May, 2016 Share Posted 13 May, 2016 Koeman seems to have very strong values. From what he's saying he has 1 year left and will see out his contract. In the mean time he will continue to speak to the club before he decides whether or not to extend. From what he's saying there is no club/team he would move to in the next 12 months, no matter who they are, how much they pay or what they can offer. Of course this is just how he comes across. Whether he means it or not we will see. Poch on the other hand reminds me of a rat. As soon as there's any sign of the vessel taking on water he's the first on a bit of driftwood heading for land. Here's a visual example of how the owner probably felt when Poch was here desperate to jump ship. [video=youtube_share;VVpeezltR1o] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If any Everton fans are reading this forum; yes, you do have a better history than us. Fantastic, well done, have a cookie. I'm not going to deny for a second that winning the league a couple of times in the 80s is more than we've got to boast about but why on Earth would that be relevant to Koeman? If you think ANYONE cares about history when they sign for a club, just watch all the world class players flocking to Leeds, Forest and Wolves this summer. Fact is in the last 25 years you've won less than Wigan, Pompey, Boro, Swansea, Birmingham, Leicester or Blackburn. Even we have the Johnstone's Paint Trophy, you have nothing.
