This post on the 'Koeman appointed' thread seems to give a good insight into his playing style(s): http://www.saintsweb.co.uk/showthread.php?50673-Koeman-Appointed-Confirmed&p=1968545#post1968545

8.7/10 Edit: make that 10/10....someone beat me to it....

Cheers for posting. It would seem the main difference we'll see between Pochettino and Koeman is changing our playing style depending on the opposition, which is something Pochettino prided himself on not doing....i.e. Pochettino: "We play the way we want to play every game, we don't change for the opposition" (or words to that effect). I quite admired the fact that Pochettino didn't concern himself with who we were playing, and that sense of self belief trickled down to the players. Will be interesting to see a more fluid approach to playing styles next season though.

Exciting news for Pompey fans this morning....well worthy of a video report IMO.... http://www.portsmouth.co.uk/sport/pompey/posh-come-to-fratton-in-cup-opener-1-6124679 #tinpot

@pn_neil_allen: A hearty clap for @alex_crook who said on June 3 where Ronald Koeman off to - and while holidaying in Barbados! Got some abuse for it too Yep...would have been a great scoop if he wasn't about 12 hours behind everyone else on that day...

The last Dutch duo to manage Saints took us down to League One. its an omen I tell ye...

Do you know what user name he used to post under on here?

yeah, I hadn't really thought it through to be honest. just me thinking out loud.... not always a good thing!

The Champion's League dream lives on!

Yep, sorry, that's what I meant...."the youngsters" (regardless of which age group they're in). Just wondering if the Koeman brothers will have a more direct role in coaching/managing the younger players

Thinking out loud...... Maybe they will be directly involved in running the development squad, which might explain why there has seemingly been no rush to replace Dodd and Williams?

Indeed. How many failed attempts is this now...?

I'm getting too old for this tweet pasting malarkey My best days are behind me.

Just before the Holland v Australia game on Wednesday afternoon would be my bet

ha! Something lost in translation there

Just received this from a Dutch friend: "Congratulations with Ronald Koeman. He did really well at Feyenoord. Hopefully he can do the same at Southampton. Rumours are that he is going to take our striker , Graziano Pelle with him. Also a great move. This Italian scored about 50 goals the last 2 weeks, very popular at Feyenoord. . A good bloke, sometimes a bit too full of himself, but when you score nobody bothers about that. When used well, he will do well over there. I’ll be watching Southamptom next season."

Hey! that was my idea to announce it before tonights game for max exposure....great minds and all that... when do the dutch next play?

@alex_crook: Been told it is unlikely #saintsfc will announce their new manager this weekend, more likely early next week. Believe it will be Koeman
