Not my first choice. But tbh I really didn't know who I wanted. The last time we were in this position it was between Allardyce, Oneill, Lennon, Coyle, Martinez and others of equal ilk. None like the quality we've been linked with (and apparently interviewed) this time. Emery would have been good on the back of three major knockout trophies on the bounce but league positions 5th, 5th and 7th puts a slight question mark there. Martinez was fairly good at the knockout comps ( but even more s hit at league save for first season). Koeman gives me confidence especially, as pointed out on here a few times, he was THE one being sought and THE one we seem to have got.
