Saint Ronald

If he turns us down, we will have to start wanting someone else...this is so hard.

 

He won't turn us down, I am Ronald Koeman!

 

No way he will turn you down. He wont believe his luck getting a premier league job.

 

At least it'll be funny that Tom has to keep his new username for 21 days.

 

In that case I will change my avatar to Ralph Krueger. See, I put some thought into it.

 

So you don't mind being Krueger for 21 days?

 

So not a Saints fan and not wum. Yet your first ever post is on our board?

 

That's bizarre logic. Why is it not for you to say?

 

Hell no, that should give me enough time to tell Liverpool to go away.

 

Because I was asked who my choice would be, as if I should have a preference.

 

That's not really an answer is it?

Ok let's try a different tack, why is it for you to say that Koeman is a bad choice, but not for you to say who would be a good choice?

 

I wasn't asked who would be a good choice. I was asked who would be my choice. Why would I have a personal choice if I don't support southampton?

 

So who do you support

 

I'd be shocked if that happened, given how he actively campaigned for the job once it was available. And prior to that he'd been hinting very strongly that he wanted to move to the Premier League. He was willing to go to West Ham! I have to think that our leadership can't be any worse than WHU's, and we have a better squad that plays a more attractive brand of football and a better academy. We are a much, MUCH better fit. If he's willing to go to West Ham, he should be ecstatic about a job at Southampton.

Or else the board has really, really, really screwed up monumentally. And then I'd be very worried. But I don't think the board even in my worst view of them could mess this up. I'd have been more worried about some internal power struggle resulting in Koeman not being offered the job.

 

Is English not your first language? I just want to know how much more benefit of the doubt I should give you.

I think it's pretty clear they meant to ask who you think would be a good choice, if you think Koeman is a bad one.

 

why not play along and answer the question as if the word was recommendation rather than choice?

 

Have to say, I don't think it's that odd if you are not a Saints fan to think that Krueger is a bad manager, and yet not particularly care who is picked or have an opinion. There's no contradiction there.

Not sure why you'd register on a messageboard to post that opinion though. That's rather WUM-ish.

 

Well there are a few obvious names. But I thought that ice hockey chap of yours was saying he has the same people searching for a manager that unearthed Pochettino and that there was "huge interest" in the job.

Koeman just seems a bit of a "lacking imagination" appointment thats all.

 

And your team is?

 

Not atall. I registered to discuss all football topics with all fans. This thread just happened to be the first to catch my eye thats all.
