If we are getting the likes of Gini and Depay then it is a telltale sign that Koeman is staying.

Not really excited about it but what other options do we have?

No other top option. It's clear as the sun.

Fantasizing about Xavi or Pimienta is reality denial.

I wouldn't say it's reality denial. Manager appointments are all a lottery to some degree, being a proven success somewhere else doesn't mean success and vice versa. However, there is a clear lack of alternatives available and interested right now.

Also, Depay and Wijnaldum are both his requests, so it does seem non-sensical to sack him after getting his players. Of course, it does increase the pressure on him too to deliver better results with his players.

True that appointments involve taking a risk.
Club's position right now is that next coach appointment should be as low risk as possible: hence a top top coach. Until then, no bets

Ah right, I'm with you. Now I've cooled off from the end of the season, I can't really see the point in getting shot of him anyway when he's only got a year left.

If we can re-introduce our jan-march form and he realizes that Pique etc are done, and that re-introducing them was the catalyst for our collapse then he's back in my good books.

I would be surprised if he got given the boot now, I guess we were holding out hope that Flick would change his mind about the National team, now he's confirmed there, I expect Koeman to stay.

Ya if it was a sacking it would be longer with both sides trying to settle their differences in terms of the contract/termination cost

I think he’s staying. He’ll get Wijnaldum and Depay. Let’s see what he can do with normal preseason planning.

Koeman and President Laporta have analyzed the season and have scheduled a new meeting which will be held in the next few days. No scenario is ruled out. [gol]

Stunning
