I wonder if they might pull the plug on them before the end of the season. I hope not. If you give him the go-ahead to make such profound changes you've got to stick with him to see how they work out. I didn’t realise they were in quite such a mess.

I mean, with the likes of David Villa, Joaquín, Vicente etc they should be doing much better, at least in the UEFA Cup spots and probably challenging for 3rd place. Valencia are a big team in Spain and have a massive following. The fans don't want to be watching their side scrape a win every other week while the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid sit comfortably at the top, laughing at a side that considers itself a title challenger. On the other hand, looking at La Liga there is only ten points between 6th and 18th with Valencia sitting in 8th. Of course, a couple of losses could put them right down there, but I can't see them getting relegated. They will probably pull through eventually but if Koeman doesn't sort it out and his side finish outside the UEFA Cup spots, he will almost certainly be out of a job.
