Koeman Happy At St Mary's And Wants A Trophy Before He leaves
Thursday, 24th Sep 2015 17:14

Ronald Koeman has once again re iterated that he is happy at St Mary's and does not intend to desert the club should the Dutch managers job become vacant

Speaking at Thursday afternoon's press conference ahead of the game against Swansea City Koeman said.

"I'm very settled here, I've already had that question last week, It's the same answer: I have a contract with Southampton until the end of next season.

What will happen after that, nobody knows, but until that date I'm the coach of Southampton."

Saints strolled into the last 16 of the Capital One Cup with a 6-0 win at MK Dons and Koeman is eager to deliver a trophy to the club before he considers moving on.

"It's difficult to win a trophy but it would be an amazing job if we win something. The most important thing at the moment is to develop ourselves, we have a lot of new faces in the team."

"We have to fight for a high position in the table and that starts this Saturday against Swansea City."

Great words from Koeman and its good to see that he wants success for Saints rather than just seeing out his contract, too many managers these days are only concerned with safety in the Premier league and hence put out drastically weakened sides in the cup competitions, not Koeman, he has confidence in his own ability and he want success and glory rather than just survival.

This is good news for us and slightly unexpected but welcome all the same, I was so pleased with Saints performance last night even if we were playing championship opposition who couldn't give a t*** it was nice to see Davis have a good game and Bertrand back, and I saw Steklenberg make a few comfortable saves which is strange because I was beginning to think he was a mirage, another home draw against Villa which should make us favourites, we must be due a cup win or am I being biased again, and other results last night were great with ex manager floundering with the pressure of a trophy-less season at Spuds but the icing on the cake was Liverhampton needing pens to dispatch Carlisle and Liarlana missing his was priceless, we must beat Swansea at the weekend and we should because they are not the slick passing side under Laudrup but still very effective as we saw last time we played so 3-1 Saints coyr

Its not ok when you try and sign players in January or the summer and the manager cannot tell the player if he will be here beyond next season.
In football for stability any valued member of staff be it a player or a manager needs to have 2 seasons on their contract.
We will get away with it this season but if it is not resolved at the end of the season next season will be difficult to say the least.
