A comment seen on the BBC report..

'Seeing how quickly Koeman took both Southampton and Everton out of Europe, perhaps he could be given the job of our Brexit negotiations'

None of it had to of waited until the last day, we could of got it all done sooner. There was no need to wait until the last couple of days to accept bids that were on the table for DD and no need to wait so late to start negotiations for Silva no matter who you think messed it up in the end.

Chelsea thought they were getting the Ox.  Lucky escape probably, but I don't think they made a second (sensible) offer until deadline day.

He’s had an esteemed managerial career with a few questionable stints. The failing at Everton this season is mostly due to their recruitment. I’m not a fan of the phrase but the last few seasons they’ve been almost a one man team and overly reliant on Lukaku they failed to replace him with a similar striker. Instead, they have technical but not particularly dynamic players and without Lukaku’s pace and directness they’re languid upfront. 

 

I have no idea about how much of a say Koeman has or had on their recruitment but the rumours suggested that he and Walsh fell out so you’d imagine Koeman was unhappy with at least some or lack of their signings. Judging his managerial ability on what he’s done at Everton is short sighted.

I got the impression that he thought he was better than Everton and he saw it (in fact didn't he actually SAY it?) as a stepping stone to a big job like Barca? 

Yep. He's got a massively inflated opinion of himself as a manager. Pretty sure he was quoted last week as saying he expects Holland to go for him and he'll turn them down.

 

I'd be amazed if he comes here. He'll see himself as above us.

 

It won't happen.

I don't think he'd want to come anyway, he's just been sacked and wouldn't be able to have another failure on his CV at a mid table prem side, would damage the egotistical cvnt's reputation too much.

This - plus, if he is such a good manager then he would have arranged Everton's group of players into something resembling a team. After 9 games he hasn't come close. Both their wins were not really deserved. Pass.

Don't forget Europe too where they've been a complete disgrace. They could very conceivably finish below Apollon Limassol lollol

Guys and girls, we need to be aiming our aspirations higher. 2 years ago we were Premier league champions we then went on our terrific European tour. We have undoubtedly one of the best wingers in the world (Mahrez) an England and Algerian International striker and numerous other top young players- Gray, Chilwell etc we have Silva to come in and to what is already a great squad.

i propose we look at these managers

Alf Ramsey

Brian Clough

Bob Paisley

Bill Shankley

 

 

and if we can't get any of them then Sean Dyche

How did Koeman and Walsh fall out? They seem to have recruited everyone that wanted.

The blame game I suspect? Walsh will be toast quite soon.

Agree . The new manager won't agree to work with him if he's up to much .

Koeman had a hard set of opening fixtures (harder than us) and has played a few Europa teams inbetween that I've not heard of. Yes he spent money (so have we) but he lost his best player (we didn't). His team were left with no attacking pace (we have no midfield).

And we sacked our manager!

Football gods were against the man and it seems most on here think he's not suitable. Our ambition is not top 6! I would accept him like a shot.

However; he won't come. You lot are going to be so disappointed when a manager is named.

 

 

It all depends on the outlook and strategy of each club and given the ambitions at Everton, he did fail. You can mention their tough fixture list all you want, ours was equally tough (when you look at our squad strength/quality).

We've lost two of our major contributors to our recent league success in Kanté and Drinkwater, which you could say were as important as Lukaku was for Everton.

 

Everton have spent almost twice as much in the transfer market than we did this summer and only partially managed to make up for it with the sale of Lukaku. Otherwise, their transfer balance would tip even more to the negative side.

 

Koeman hasn't won anything since a worthless Dutch trophy with AZ Alkmaar in 2009. I mean, his winning record is good (when you look at his time in the Eredivisie), but that on its own can't be an argument in the transition to the Premier League.

He usually came across as distant and arrogant, failed with Southampton in Europe in the group stages against Sparta Prague and Hapoel Be'er Sheva, and failed again with Everton this year.

Personally, I think he's finished as a manager and has run out of ideas.

 

As for the last part of your statement, that's just plain fearmongering.

Remember when Ranieri came along and the majority was either baffled or completely underwhelmed?

Have you taken a look at the Ligue 1 table lately? Nantes are now in third spot...

 

Give me a break, whine-o.

The same Marco Silva that they all criticised when he was appointed Hull manager because he wasn't "Premier League proven".

Ah but he is now, the 'big' clubs are always happy to let the lesser clubs prove managers and players before they pounce.

Nah..that'd never work!

:thumbup:

On a serious note, doesn't this show so clearly the importance of being a managerial 'team'!

None of the three have done particularly well on their own..but get them together and they are formidable.

Like Clough and Taylor

I was thinking this could be a good match, but then I read that he wasn't a particularly compassionate manager, quite cold with his players, not the arm round the shoulder sort of guy and we have a lot of confidence players that need an arm round the shoulder not a cold dissection of every mistake they made.
