    Get yourself an orange afro wig, and some big Elton John-style orange spectacles. This is your opportunity to be a trendsetter FLT, don't waste it. Orange is gonna kick off big time on the South coast!! Orange is the new red!!

    (PS - ignore if you are already a trendsetter)

    Go Ronald. Very pleased. Seems perfect, lets hope it transpires that way.

    As Ron says, lets win some prizes!

    I didn`t realise he had a 1 in 3 goal ratio as a player - not bad for a defensive player !

    Wouldn't mind hearing from that Dutch football chap around about now!

    What was his name, Cove?

    He did make an appearance a couple of weeks ago. Can't remember what he said. He might come lurking soon now we've got our man.

    Maybe that's Reed's master plan! Sell everyone for millions and replace them with a one man team :D

    He recently made a none-too-positive post about him, and other Dutch managers.

    Yeah, but that post was all about how Dutch managers abroad all did poorly last season. Nothing about Koeman's ability and very little relevance whatsoever really.

    Don't forget he won the Copa Del Rey with Valencia. If we finished 14th again but won the FA cup I would forgive him!

    Feel much better now big Ron is confirmed and sure he will prove a very good appointment. Having read more about him and looked at how he sets up teams, think he will do well here.

    What now?

    With respect to CBK, it was Pick a Pochet or two who first made the Koeman link, and Saintsfan4life who said the announcement would be yesterday. CBK was vocal about it but I don't remember him actually being the source of any news (I might be wrong, apologies if so).

    No you're absolutely right PTF. Quite a few people said Koeman on Monday before CBK decided to shout about it!
