I've gone from resignation, to acceptance, to looking forward to his appointment. Is this the Southampton Way of making me accept less or am I finally realising the brilliance and potential of Ronald.

Will he be Ronald MacDonald or Ronaldo..? Let's hope it's the latter.

Koeman Brothers to Southampton

Marcel van der Kraan
Southampton hopes to make. An amazing first in the Premier League known within 48 hours The English club has been working hard on days capturing Ronald AND Erwin Koeman as new coaching duo for years to come. No sooner were two brothers together at the helm of a club in the Premier League.
The younger of the two, Ronald (51) is the head coach, the eldest, Erwin (52) is next to him on the couch and full assist him in training. It's a unique situation for the two former Dutch internationals last month both put an end to their work at Feyenoord and RKC Waalwijk. Both coaches opted voluntarily to resign and hatched the plan to, as Ronald previously indicated, together with a foreign club to go to work.
Koeman impresses
The leadership of Southampton has been a great impression of Ronald Koeman during interviews with the man, who in De Kuip with almost no budget has reached the maximum performance out of a group of young players. Those seasons The 'Saints' build their success on their own training, which in recent years brought forth great talents. With peculiar talents Southampton popped last season for a top-eight position in the Premier League.
This was done under the guidance of the Argentine coach Mauricio Pochettino, who thanks to his performance as a coach earned a transfer to Tottenham Hotspur.
Southampton is due to the huge television revenues (65 million per year) are able to pay his coach and the players. An excellent salary There is also budget to do which Feyenoord take into account that Graziano Pelle comes into play in the club from the English port city on the south coast. Purchases
No final agreement
Yet Southampton has not yet arrived. Brothers Koeman A final agreement is still not reached. The British are working hard at it because they are aware of the interest from Galatasaray for Ronald Koeman. When the Turks is seriously interested to appoint successor Roberto Mancini him, but it seems that 'Gala' too late. If Southampton today or tomorrow solves Last Koeman can quickly fly out.

Erwin Koeman's managerial/coaching career:

1998–2002 PSV (youth coach)
2001–2004 PSV (assistant coach)
2004–2005 RKC Waalwijk
2005–2007 Feyenoord
2008–2010 Hungary
2011 Utrecht
2012 Eindhoven
2012–2014 RKC Waalwijk

Ok, he may not have been hugely successful (although took Feyenoord to 3rd place in 2006), but he has managed a national team (something Les Reed mentioned in his interview) and has good experience in Holland. More experienced than Alan Irvine, and he is only going to be number two.

Would imagine we would need another coach as well though?

I guess we need something to balance the memory of when we last employed 2 Dutchmen at the top.

To be fair the resources they had at the time were, um, limited.
But it was dire stuff much of the time. When you're hoping Bradley Wright Phillips will provide the quality moments in a game you know the brown stuff is fan bound.

Just wish there was an official announcement. We wouldn't be waiting to see if Mr cock up would like to come out and play would we?

All this talk of Ronald bringing his older brother had me assuming there was some massive difference in years, and that Erwin was some sort of sage character, with massive experience and wisdom. Turns out he's a year older. <doh>

Do I change my avatar before or after work on Monday? I assume it will be official at some point during working hours.
