Ronald Koeman Appreciation Thread

[GLewis]

He's gone up in his estimations for the way he's dealt with this.

I do wonder if he'd have been given a little more slack from the fans if he'd articulated clearly his thoughts on Giroud/Rooney/Vlasic before today.

Yes I don’t know whether he thought that was obvious or didn’t want to be seen to be overtly not happy with what happened.

But he ended up doing nothing, really.

It would have all been  "But Ok" if it wasn't for that pesky Giroud

I doubt even Giroud would have lifted the desoerate ego that was Koeman .

The things he was doing towards the end made many think he was after the sack for the payout, but him whinging the way he is now points that they were his best efforts to the end, should have gone much sooner,but at least he went before he had any more money to spend.

He would have had more a fighting chance with Giroud/Costa, that's for sure, or even a prolific U23 goalscorer to turn to - Koeman could not have been more clearer about needing a striker

But there we go, somebody else's problem - move on, January will be interesting with more money to spend (?)
