I sincerely hope the fact he tends to manage CL sides rules him out. Saints' board has more imagination than that, I hope.
We had better make our new manager an Englishman as according to my mates down the pub if Brexit succeeds all foreigners are going to be kicked out of the country. Scotland will immediately have a referendum to leave the UK and this time they'll succeed. We should thank our lucky stars we have got shot of Koeman and have time to replace with him before he gets sent home to Holland. The future looks grim - the future could be Brexit.
Everton not in Europe at all, for a start. He's in CL with Sevilla - has no need to drop out of competitions where his strengths lie.
Really hope there's an announcement today. Just scrolling through Facebook, and the amount of fans who are still thinking RK to Everton will not happen and that its just media bullshit, is unreal. Get a grip people, he has gone already. Knowing SFC they'll put something on the web around 10.30 / 11pm tonight, just to try and not make a big thing about it. It will probably read: SFC can confirm that Ronald Koeman has left Southampton to Join Everton Football Club. We are now pro activally looking for a new manager to continue the Southampton Way.
Just done a google translate on Virgils dutch tweet; Just heard the news about me home boy Ron K, He's turned to the blue side for some more pay, Me and the lads must say we're rather pissed, But we are Saints and he won't be missed.
I think that Pellegrini is the obvious choice. Southampton are a club on the up and there is no way that we should consider any untested characters like Ryan Giggs nor the likes of David Moyes. We are too big a club no to take a chance on these people. I agree that Eddie Howe is one for the future but Saints have to look towards a manager with international pedigree end of.
