Hi fellas
Quick question for Ed025 if I may.
Just wondering what your take is on the manager situation, if it was up to you would Koeman be gone now or would you give him until Christmas?
I personally think you'll get results every now and then and it might save his neck until the Christmas period, for example Brighton I see you beating, if you don't there's a big problem and he'd need to be out the door ASAP.
You've had a harsh start to the campaign but we haven't had the best either, thing's are still very early, do you agree with other fans calling for his head? Personally I do. If I was in your shoes I'd want him out immediately.
Was just wondering what your take on the matter is mate.
{Ed025's Note - my personal view is that he should be given a chance to put things right corleone but nowhere near as long as christmas. im talking 3 or 4 games mate..

Yeah I get that mate and agree with you. That's fair.
Brighton is a must win. Lyon I also see you beating at home. Then you guys have your work cut out with Arsenal followed by Chelsea which I really can;t see you getting much out of mate. Then it's Leicester another one of them but now, I'd expect Everton to beat them they aren't doing well either and I don't expect them to improve.
So the next 3 league games Brighton, Arsenal and Leicester, that has got to be a 6 out of 9 points, otherwise he needs to go. Don't get me wrong if you get any less I hope he stays of course lol
To me you fellas have a decent team it's just not been managed right at this time. Not like I'm moaning about that mate ;) lol.
{Ed025's Note - we have decent individuals corleone but an awful team, no-one knows what they are supposed to be doing and thats down to the manager for me, he has to sort it out and quick or i believe his days are numbered mate..

Absolutely mate, couldn't agree more :)
I'll be honest, the way you conducted your transfer business impressed me, getting what was it, about 5 players in the matter of the first 11 days or something like that, I seriously was a little worried about it. So for it to turn out the way it has, there's only one person to blame and it's the manager.
I said it today on another page and I'll say it again, I'm a Liverpool fan but also a football fan. They are better then this.
Anyway thanks for your time mate :) appreciated to know your opinion.
{Ed025's Note - no problem mate..

To be fair there has been wholesale changes in personnel but then Koeman should be able to manage that and have then starting to gel by now. I just don't think he has worked out what works best.
What does strike me strange at times is the way he handles the press and how he seems to alienate players. I don't think the Barkley situation was handled well by Koeman ever since he joined and the reports on Lookman are of concern.
If things don't improve rapidly I hope Holland step in for him and we entice Ancelloti but then I am always a dreamer!
{Ed025's Note - we are all dreamers ST, but i dont think any of us envisaged this nightmare mate..

Look no further than the Under 23,s a manager who knows how to set a team up and let the opposition worry about us, not many will take City youth academy on their own patch and come away with a 3 nil win, ditch the negative clueless set up and give Unsworth a crack at the first team.
Will keep rattling on for Unsworth until we give the guy a go, just to go to Anfield and the likes and to have a mixture of youth, experience and a balanced team with an attack minded manager who's attitude is go out there and win, time to let the rhino loose on the premier league.
