I had Koeman out after 8 games. It took 9. They are replaying our 2008/09 season. We had the good fortune to replace the Koeman-like Ramos with Harry Redknapp. We also kicked out Commolli as well as the clueless Spaniard. I should imagine that Steve Walsh is readying himself for a call to the boardroom any day now. The summer recruitment was a disaster and a large part of that must rest with him. If he escapes the chop, he's a very lucky man. It goes to show that recruiting managers and DoF's is a tricky business. You pick what to all the world looks like a dead-cert winner and it turns out that anything good about the club they've just come from, was the product of some faceless bloke who works in the background. It's increasingly looking like Jurgen Klopp was, in fact, the Borussia Dortmund mascot and that some geezer called Helmut or Engelbert found and developed all the players that made them successful. Oh Lord, may Mauricio Pochettino never leave.
I can see him ending the season at Everton. No sense behind the new manager getting rid even if they lose £15m as a result. Not getting relegated is worth infinitely more.
Jack Wheelchair has revealed he has started taking his UEFA B coaching badges, no doubt thinking that the amount of experience he has of being on the touchline gives him a distinct advantage.
They might need some money in to cover new buys, especially if they stay in and around the relegation places. They've got 3 other number 10s so I can't see why they'd turn down £15mill just to keep him for 6 months. For that money they could get a top striker on loan for 6 months.
Koeman's big mistake was spending the Lukaku money on midfielders rather than thinking about how to replace the 25 lost PL goals. But there were other mistakes too. Sigurdsson, Rooney and Barkley are all best deployed in the same position. Why spend so much on Sigurdsson then instead of a goalscorer? The young players used to good effect last season weren't give the same opportunities this time (except Calvert- Lewin). He didn't spot that he had too many players, especially in defence, who were starting to be over the hill.
That's Anne Frank, famous Jewish victim of the Holocaust who hid in a hidden room in Amsterdam for almost the entire war before the gestapo discovered her and her family mere weeks before the war ended and sent them to the gas chambers. Her diary of her time in hiding and how they coped with being in a single room for almost 4 years is one of the most enduring and moving accounts of the darkest chapter in human history. So the classy Lazio fans have dressed her up in a Roma kit and plastered the picture all over a stadium. Darwin wept.
Ryan Giggs has made public his interest in the jobs at Everton and Leicester..............words fail me.
Aha.....I did think it was her...but I didn't get the link...learnt all about her at High school, cheers CK.
