They have t won the league for 30years

the thing is,Kpeman is taking a big gamble with his career. Yes he can walk to the bank smiling, but if he fails at a 2nd grade club like Everton he will never get a big job. I always felt that Poch would go on to better things when he left, but I'm not sure that Koeman has got that little extra. It will be funny if Big Dunc is one of the first people he pushes out, as that will really put RK on the wrong foot

surely we should look at league records, not Europa league stuff. I have mentioned it before that his team were the only team in Europe not to win away in the league. Surely that is a concern about team formation and mindset, let alone getting a decent league position

His writing style is very much in the Corp Ho manner

lol , the club tried to keep Koeman but were not bloody stupid enough to offer him the wages of the 6 th highest manager in the world. I'm disappointed but am well over him going to yours as there is a wealth of mangers who could do the same job. Pottichino was a real loss, as you could see a rapid improvement in average players, under Koeman we saw decent football but not exciting football. I would get ready or never having the same team 2 weeks running even after a win.

about time to get something straight, Koeman is only joining you for £££££££££££££££££££. He and others turned you down until you were desperate then doubled and more his wages. Everton talk about history, and sing that joke song about it. You have played in the top division more than everyone but Arsenal, then look at what you have won and it is not much really. Liverpool are the big club in your area and dwarf you big time. You are at the 2nd level of big teams ( that is being kind). We are a large provincial club that you are on your knees to, begging for our manager. So go away and think about your situation, you are run by a bloke who directs musicals and looks like Elton John on steroids...period

Lol, after we have had the compensation I assume

I think you are right, and your assessment of AVB joining was as I see it.

i thought it was a childish. To wish somebody dead because he left a football club!!!!! Come on CB you,re better than that

Who are you? Another 'Firms Man' lol The owner and club can do no wrong blah blah blah. I pointed out that the owner has done very well out of owning the football club I have invested 50 years in. I was there in the bad days, turning up and paying to watch dross but supported the team.

Lol, of course not. The club is still worth 30m and no assets then. It is not just about taking out 20k a year. I admire loyalty in people but sometimes it can be too much.You would be the ideal chauffeur doffing your cap as you open the door to the boss. An questioning 'Firms man'

That all seems fair, but IMO what all this extra cash means is that the owner and her cohorts are considerably richer. We are unlikely to spend anywhere near the funds in.Her prerogative of course

What are you talking about. It is not our highest ever league position, we finished 2nd in the top league of English football in a lot of our fans lifetime. The PL is just a fabricated rehash of the old Division 1 that they tried to make sexy for Sky and television. We were in the top league for 27 years. Football is for life not just the PL. Oh and we qualified for Europe quite a few times before the PL as well

Thanks, not world eating stats, considering that it is said that the Spanish league is not as competitive as our own

How have Sevilla fared in the Spanish leagues in the tenure of Emery? I know he has done well in Europe but surely his league record is more important

Considering Everton have been in the top league the longest alongside Arsenal , pound for pound they must be underachievers as they have had many more goes at winning the top title more than the rest

Funnily enough I think I posted on here some months ago that I was told that RK was leaving and his brother was going to take over. Now that would be a disaster IMO

Whilst it is ultimately Koemans decision I'm sure money came into it. His wages and our compensation

you can argue that Emery has done wonders in European competition, but am I correct in saying his team were the only one in Europe not to win an away game last season? I'm sure that was said

That I'm not sure of, but Howe took them from the bottom of league 2 and win the championship befor guiding them to PL safety. A far better manager than Adkins,and his time after us has proven it

yep, a few years wiser and would not have the dressing room problems he had at Chelsea

That is nonsense,I thought Bournemouth won the championship, something Adkins never did with bigger resources. Howe is a great manager, and odes have great loyalty. I doubt he would come to us anyway,

If I heard correctly if I heard correctly during the Europa cup final, Seville were the only team in Europe not to win an away game this season! Something that would be worrying for us in the the PL

The sad thing is that RK is damaged goods by talking to Everton. The article states they will talk to others before deciding. I suspect he would have lost a large section of the fanbase by talking to them, and so his time is up with us whatever I suggest. I would like a summer of calm but not tying him down before now was a big mistake. Complacency yet again by Les and co. Although as i have mentioned before, I don't believe they get on and so perhaps quietly Les is not too unhappy if he goes.

Immigration is the one big driver to this referendum it seems to me. One thing we need to think about is that as we as a nation with an ageing population need young blood coming in to help bring in the taxes to help us all in old age. It seems to me that as the young marry and have children later we are not going to have the young come through to keep the economy driving on.Therefore Gwent should embrace the new young coming in to keep us when we are old and retired.
