Yorkshire Saint Posted 2 July, 2016 Posted 2 July, 2016 Do you have to get permission from your work every time you go out for a meal with friends? That says thank you Southampton FC ? Not thank you Sammy etc. But you can quibble about **** if it makes you happy xx
Andy Durman Posted 3 July, 2016 Posted 3 July, 2016 Leaving on a high is never a bad thing. I think the timing was excellent and we know need to give the new coaching team a chance.
Cartman Posted 15 February, 2017 Posted 15 February, 2017 Koeman to Barcelona this summer In his dreams. What has he done to deserve the job? And after his spell at Valencia he would be lucky to get a top flight job there. Now Poch... if the Espanyol thing doesn't get in the way.
SNSUN Posted 15 February, 2017 Posted 15 February, 2017 In his dreams. What has he done to deserve the job? And after his spell at Valencia he would be lucky to get a top flight job there. Now Poch... if the Espanyol thing doesn't get in the way. There's pictures of him everywhere at the Nou Camp, he's revered there because of his playing days. I'd suggest it were more to do with experience and popularity if Koeman were to be appointed rather than managerial brilliance.
St Chalet Posted 15 February, 2017 Posted 15 February, 2017 Ronald may be an arrogant turncoat with a penchant for a holiday, but the Koemans were a great management team for us.
sambosa75 Posted 15 February, 2017 Posted 15 February, 2017 Ronald may be an arrogant turncoat with a penchant for a holiday, but the Koemans were a great management team for us. Was he though? If we'd been Mané-less last season we would be in much the same position as we currently are. Our (Mané's) latter season form papered over some pretty considerable cracks in my opinion.
Heisenberg Posted 15 February, 2017 Posted 15 February, 2017 Koeman is a legend there and has done very well in England Mopo took over a spurs side that has been finishing top 5 for the past 12-13 years and has err finished top 5. Still not won a single trophy and did awful with espanyol.

Our (Mané's) latter season form papered over some pretty considerable cracks in my opinion. Had Koeman not joined we would have arguably been Mane-less.
saint77 Posted 15 February, 2017 Posted 15 February, 2017 Ronald may be an arrogant turncoat with a penchant for a holiday, but the Koemans were a great management team for us. Agreed they were both great for us and certainly with out Ronald we wouldn't of got mane,pelle,Virgil or dusan
Pass the Dutchie Posted 15 February, 2017 Posted 15 February, 2017 Our (Mané's) latter season form papered over some pretty considerable cracks in my opinion. So you're basically saying "Because we improved and had a good second half of the season, it made the season look good."
saint77 Posted 15 February, 2017 Posted 15 February, 2017 Who would welcome either of them back. 100% yes
Pamplemousse Posted 15 February, 2017 Posted 15 February, 2017 Puel will demonstrate that he is a better manager. Give it time
Raging Bull Posted 15 February, 2017 Posted 15 February, 2017 Would take MoPo back in a heartbeat. For me the most promising manager we've had.
whelk Posted 15 February, 2017 Posted 15 February, 2017 Would take MoPo back in a heartbeat. For me the most promising manager we've had. Fcker threw the Sunderland game and has won fck all despite us having world beating players and winning every game with flare.
DuncanRG Posted 15 February, 2017 Posted 15 February, 2017 Fcker threw the Sunderland game and has won fck all despite us having world beating players and winning every game with flare. ...what?
Saint Albert Posted 15 February, 2017 Posted 15 February, 2017 I'm not sure how a team full of superstars used to the tika taka style of football would react to the MoPo high pressing game, and his intensive high-energy training regime. I'd love to see either of our exes go there, if only to read the indignant reactions on Spurs/Everton forums.

Saint Albert Posted 15 February, 2017 Posted 15 February, 2017 Given Barcelona are still the high pressing team I think they'd manage. I'd pay to see the look on Messi's face when MoPo instructs him to do late afternoon extra sprinting sessions.
Heisenberg Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 Puel will demonstrate that he is a better manager. Give it time He's had 19 years
mrfahaji Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 Would take MoPo back in a heartbeat. For me the most promising manager we've had. I get the impression Les would take MoPo back in a heartbeat too. After we lost Koeman there was a lot of talk about what we want to achieve, and a lot of referencing back to Pochettino's time. He may have left the club in a slightly underhand way which left a bad taste, especially as he went to Tottenham, but he was undoubtedly an excellent (maybe even perfect) fit for the way the club operates.
corky morris Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 Will never forget that cup game at Sunderland. That was all MoPo, we were utterly shocking. Remember driving home thinking what a total tool he was. No doubt he is an outstanding manager, but he went down a long way that day. Similar to Koeman at Shef Utd in the cup, but MoPo's decisions that day were a joke.
RobM Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 He's had 19 years And got inferior teams with inferior resources well into the Champions League in that time.
shurlock Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 Koeman is a legend there and has done very well in England Mopo took over a spurs side that has been finishing top 5 for the past 12-13 years and has err finished top 5. Still not won a single trophy and did awful with espanyol Glasgow I thought you had mellowed and moved on. The whole MoPo obsession which coincided with your banning was a dark chapter in your history. You're better than that pal.
Millbrook Saint Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 Not sure how much I'd be laughing about this, pretty sure the first thing Koeman will do is try and sign VVD.
farawaysaint Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 And got inferior teams with inferior resources well into the Champions League in that time. In an inferior league though.
ErwinK1961 Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 Koeman is a legend there and has done very well in England Mopo took over a spurs side that has been finishing top 5 for the past 12-13 years and has err finished top 5. Still not won a single trophy and did awful with espanyol. And Koeman's going to land Everton a top 7 finish, which as you've been telling everyone repeatedly, is what they are.
ericb Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 Not sure how much I'd be laughing about this, pretty sure the first thing Koeman will do is try and sign VVD. If you assume he's off at somepoint anyway i'd rather it was Barca than to a team in our league. I'm also pretty sure we'd get a better fee from them than most other sides too.
DuncanRG Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 I'd pay to see the look on Messi's face when MoPo instructs him to do late afternoon extra sprinting sessions. Messi works really, really hard, man. They all do at Barca! PS saying you'd take Pochettino back is like saying you'd "take" Ancelotti or Guardiola or Mourinho. The guy is one of the best.
OldNick Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 Barcalona are a wonderful side but Messi is an all time great, when he hangs up his boots he will be hard to replace.
Heisenberg Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 And Koeman's going to land Everton a top 7 finish, which as you've been telling everyone repeatedly, is what they are. He will, he is and they are.
dellboypete Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 Not sure how much I'd be laughing about this, pretty sure the first thing Koeman will do is try and sign VVD. Having watched them on TV the other night, they could do with not only VvD but a complete back four by the look of it!
ErwinK1961 Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 He will, he is and they are. So no better than MoPo then.
Nordic Saint Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 It was probably Koeman's career plan to go to a big club, preferably Barcelona or Arsenal, at what he expected to be the completion of a highly successful 3-year contract with Saints. I don't think any of us realistically expected him to stay here for any longer than that. If the club had made it clear they were happy with that, I guess he would have stayed until the end of this season. Would we have done any better? It's hard to say. The new contract he has with Everton has presented him with a bit more of an obstacle. He may feel he has to stay there for at least another year.
Heisenberg Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 So no better than MoPo then. Koeman has won more as player and manager. Koeman would probably get the nod ahead of Mopo (for Barcelona) based on his history with the club too For me Mopo is definitely on the high potential list, however until he starts to win trophies id be surprised if Barca took a gamble.

Each to there own. If it was a straight choice between the two, I'd have MoPo all day long.
Lord Duckhunter Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 The new contract he has with Everton has presented him with a bit more of an obstacle. He may feel he has to stay there for at least another year. No chance of him staying if Barcelona come calling. He's wanted that job his whole managerial career. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
ALWAYS_SFC Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 No chance of him staying if Barcelona come calling. He's wanted that job his whole managerial career. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk No way he will leave Everton, they are a top 7 club dontcha know..... Massive
angelman Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 I imagine that there might be a clause letting him go, if comp can be worked out.
angelman Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 Each to there own. If it was a straight choice between the two, I'd have MoPo all day long. I would agree and say MP by a considerable margin.
Heisenberg Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 Each to there own. If it was a straight choice between the two, I'd have MoPo all day long. Each to there own - agreed. 41% win rate v 54% 0 trophies vs 8 trophies
ErwinK1961 Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 Each to there own - agreed. 41% win rate v 54% 0 trophies vs 8 trophies And I'm sure if MoPo had managed one of the best teams in the Eredivise he'd have also won 8 trophies. But you knew that already. Much preferred watching us under MoPo than RK. I've no doubt when (not if) he gets one of the top teams to manage, he will lots of trophies.
CB Fry Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 Alex Mcleish: 46% win rate and nine trophies. Take that.
Strangely Brown Posted 16 February, 2017 Posted 16 February, 2017 Alex Mcleish: 46% win rate and nine trophies. Take that. And if Mcleish gets the Barca job I will eat his sporran!!?
a1ex2001 Posted 17 February, 2017 Posted 17 February, 2017 Alex Mcleish: 46% win rate and nine trophies. Take that. Anyone would think you can prove white is black with statistics!
Viking Saint Posted 18 February, 2017 Posted 18 February, 2017 No way he will leave Everton, they are a top 7 club dontcha know..... Massive It could come down to the dugouts.....how long have Barcelona had theirs for???
whelk Posted 19 February, 2017 Posted 19 February, 2017 Koeman isn't that popular with the Barca hierarchy apparently. He hasn't ripped up trees and they remember Valencia. Maybe more keen on Klopp. Everton fans I know still aren't overly keen either.
