Finally something to raise our spirits. Seems like an astute appointment, I'm in a very good mood right now.

I wonder how well we would have done in the Europa league this season under Koeman IF we had put more effort into and winning the FA Cup last season? Ah well... Anyway, at least now we will put much more effort into the cup competitions, i'm sure.
We aren't ready for Europa, in terms of squad quantity more than quality. Really, succeeding in Europa/the PL require almost diametrically opposed tactics in summer signings, so I'm okay with making sure that we aim for the latter -- and stabilize there -- before going for the former.
Stat time: Ronald Koeman, Defender, with 193 goals in 535 games, has a better scoring record than Pompey "legend" Steve Claridge, striker, with 255 in 828.

Jan Kluitenberg on Twitter: "New training ground @SouthamptonFC is amazing. Never seen this before. Proud to work here."
Can't wait for until the season starts... Ronald Koeman ‏@Koeman1963 10s Thinking of subbing in Prowsie for Gaston. What do you think Saints fans?
Ronald Koeman ‏@Koeman1963 1m Look at this selfie of me and new record signing of Graziano Pelle LOLZ #hoof
Just the fact he seems to love Twitter, and Schad is foreshadowing situations that could occur, but probably won't, but then again might, because of his love of Twitter? That's what I got from it anyway!
Ronald Koeman ‏@Koeman1963 @CBKmisery2014 23m Thanks for your comment. Stadium expansion is planned and loyalty bonuses fixed. Mr Cortese says to send hugs to you. Ronald Koeman @Koeman1963 @PTF 20m yes, but that's quite clearly not what I meant. Ronald Koeman @Koeman1963 @connorarmstrong 17m yes, my PA has received your request for the interview.
