Saint Charlie

We don't need a new no 1, just a competent no 2.

Have any players commented on social media?

City away is ok as long as its not followed by more top 4 teams straight away. Hard to get going if you have a bad start.

Albeit a very toned down, more realistic one.

Interesting he signed Fonte for Benfica (although loaned him out straight away).

Nice interview on You Tube.

Interesting that he has brough Kluitenburg and that we will also retain our current fitness coaches.

If it wasn't for blooming Moyes we could have used "Koeman, feel the noise".

I think a fair few SWFers might be happy with you as well.

Certainly with Shaw and Lallana the offers sound like they have been nowhere near the reported amounts. Good of the Board to stand firm, at the end of the day we don't want to sell, so would need a tempting offer to do so.

Reed coming up live on SSN...someone post his comments here.

Quality stuff. Well done to the Board, good move. Be interesting to see if it is Kelvin that is GK coach or if they have someone in mind. Next step: minimise player departures and start building an attack that can score PL goals.

Gutted tbh, as was enjoying the meltdown. Hopefully some of our players will hurry up and leave, or Ralph will do another horror interview to bring the mood down. Thanks kbilly for the tip

Also think Immers plays further forward than Schniderlin, Wanyama, Cork. Main worry is that he appears to play the same position as Ramirez and Lallana, but just not as well.

Ronald Koeman **clap, clap, clap, clap** Repeat and hit the back boards of the Northam

Doubt he will do anything til pre season. If he did now, it would be dominated by Shaw, Lallana, Lovren etc, plus most of the football media are either in, or preoccupied by, events in Brazil.

More Kevin Nolan.

Odd as Immers also signed a new contract less than a month ago.

He is the Dutch Kevin Nolan apparently.

Hopefully but most likely just some brinkmanship. Utd or anyone else know what it will take to buy Shaw so if they want him will have to put the cash up!

Targett has never, ever been rated above Shaw by anyone who knows what they are on about. Reason for selling Crown Jewels is because they get seduced by the prospect of Champions League football and more money.

The Blind link is probably a hurry up tactic.

Yes, but in this post I was just saying the back room team are often as important as the Manager, have you got an issue with that? If you are going to pick up on something, use one of these other 100 posts you mention, not one where I didn't criticise the Board at all, and was just making a sensible point. If they appoint Koeman then well done to them, they appear to be in control of the situation. There will still be an exodus of players which is a shame, and Ralph's PR at the start of the summer was dreadful, but there has been an improvement seemingly, although let's see how many players go and who the replacements are.

Didn't say there wasn't!

Have they worked together in the past? Would also need another first team coach you would think. I hope Ronald can actually bring in the people he wants, the whole setup is just as important as the Manager.
