I think he has been stitched up (a bit) tbh. Mahrez shenanigens trying to leave in the summer, club sold Drinkwater and mucked up the paperwork on signing Silva. 4 of the 1st 8 games against 'top 6' clubs. I think that he was sort of set up to fail, given that he was promoted into the job after they sacked Ranieri. If you give a job to someone who has never been a manager before, I think it would be best done on the grounds that you are going to 'grow together' sort of thing, and have a long-term view.
His record is pretty much - go into a club, have one good season then drag them down. Or, break his contract to leave and take up a better offer, and drag that one down until he is sacked.
Jorderz, if you are right, why would we want a manager who is at the mercy of the board and their poor transfer policy. I don't see how that is an improvement....
Whether or not it is the correct decision, if the owners were looking to replace Biliic and hope for the honeymoon period of a new boss which "normally" appears to get the team performing better, even if just for the rest of the season, then getting in Koeman looks like an attractive prospect.
I don't doubt that the plan is to get rid of Bilic at the end of the season at the moment, now with Koeman available and the improvements he made to Southampton looking tempting. I wouldn't be surprised if the David's pulled the trigger sooner rather than later.

Little investment in the summer.
Seems very harsh.

Do they not know it was a fluke that will never ever be repeated?

To be fair to Koeman, he didn't have the easiest start to the season. I think we've done worse considering who we've played.
Probably the best freebie manager we’ll get this season.
Sorry IMO Koeman does not fit the bill for me ;nonono
One of the better Japanese manga magazines. Or am I confusing it with Pokémon?
