Your scenario reminds me of when we got new owners, pumped a lot of money in (for the level we were at) paid over the odds to get a "top" manager and what was expected was not knocking on the door towards the top. It was to get to the top. Pardew missed out on the play offs which I would think was the minimum target and while he did get to start the next season he was out as a failure very soon and scooped up to be manager of Newcastle I think Koeman could well see the same scenario here. If he does not get Europa League and a decent cup run he will be sacked.
We'll see how it pans out mate, I think when you exclude Wenger the average tenure of a PL manager these days is about 22 months. Shocking really. Patience is largely a thing of the past in the top flight in the main. Any news on your new manager yet?
I hope that rule is applied universally then. As the bloke has been dishing it out to me without retort since my first post here. I've made my point and that's that.
Playing golf you mean. It is his favourite sport with football being something he likes to tinker with in his spare time.
Not so, he probably doesn't like you and is trying to tell you subtly to leave the site, perhaps if he was to say please?
Had to hunt for it, but here is one link: http://www.hitc.com/en-gb/2016/06/08/paul-merson-believes-everton-can-win-the-premier-league/
Merson is very popular on here #cough# His erudition and football knowledge are legendary....we're usually scared when he thinks Saints will win. Probably put the kibosh on Everton.
