wild-saint Posted 14 June, 2016 Share Posted 14 June, 2016 We do not need a bit of a risk at this stage of proceedings. Esp if that risk has 5 mins of managerial career under his belt. Happy with his analysis on sky but it stops there to be fair any appointment that we are likely to make is going to be a risk, no? the records of the poch and roko werent the greatest prior to thier appointment at saints.

doughnutman Posted 14 June, 2016 Share Posted 14 June, 2016 Are we just mentioning any old manager? How about Miodrag Božović? Not necessarily a manager I'd want but his name came to me whilst watching the Euros this evening. I seem to recall him being highly rated before moving to Celtic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Fan CaM Posted 14 June, 2016 Share Posted 14 June, 2016 Whatever one thinks of Koeman's ethics (the snake), I can't help but feel as though the club has been stiffed again and all the ST holders who have shelled out have been stiffed again too. What other entertainment industry sells it's product as one thing, then changes the design of product substantially after you've paid? It's like buying a pair of black footie boots in Toomers - you hand over your money, they get wrapped up and when you get home you find out they've given you pink ones, so you go back to complain and they say "what's the problem, they fit the same and do the same job right?". Perhaps I'm getting too old for this lark... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raging Bull Posted 14 June, 2016 Share Posted 14 June, 2016 With absolutely no grounding in fact or reason I am going to stump for Yogi Loew.

Perhaps I'm getting too old for this lark... The inference being that you purchased the ticket to watch Ronald Koeman and that had you known we would have another manager, you wouldn't have renewed?

Plastic Posted 15 June, 2016 Share Posted 15 June, 2016 Somebody will be along with a variant of the "if this was a supermarket/restaurant/the theatre" routine in a minute. Clearly the car analogy is most appropriate here. It's like ordering a Ford Focus with 1.8t zetec petrol engine and getting all excited, but when it turns up its a 1.8 diesel. You say hang on a minute I wanted the petrol engine because of its performance characteristics, but they respond by saying the diesel provides better fuel economy and is the smarter choice overall. You stare at them blankly for a while before losing interest and wandering over to a Manchester garage to admire the Ferraris and Porches. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ART Posted 15 June, 2016 Share Posted 15 June, 2016 How many times has Les Reed told us that the club havte in place replacements lined up for every eventuality. Well if that were the case how is it taking so long to announce Koeman's replacement when Reed's know for nearly a month now Koeman was off to Everton. Reed is all twaddle and bull ****e.

Wade Garrett Posted 15 June, 2016 Share Posted 15 June, 2016 Anyone else changed their minds on our new manager after a few weeks? My first choice is Pellegrini, although I accept this is unlikely. Second choice De Boer, wanting to build something, he could be a good long term appointment. The one I have changed my mind on is Moyes. I have read some very compelling arguments online, and would now think him a decent appointment. Top 10 league placing, would be loyal, and likes to bring youngsters through. Surprising really, a week or so ago I had a completely different opinion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never mind that he left a small club a few years ago to manage the biggest club in your country. That strikes me as ambitious. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Show me the mané Posted 15 June, 2016 Share Posted 15 June, 2016 Odds on vitor pereira have dropped to 6-1. I think he would be a good appointment. Emery would have been my first choice but looks as if he's off to PSG. Failing both of these I would take de boer. Failing that I would take Pellegrini. Howe might be one for the future but won't be able to attract the signings we need or have the credibility to prevent the players being unsettled and wanting to leave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
