It is hard to believe that with Moshiri's money and the world to choose from, that he would be the best we could come up with. He is just unemployed and looking for a job. His teams don't play good football so all things aside other than that I really don't want him at my Everton.
Thats fair, and if it comes down to style and preference, then so be it.
But I just don't think I'd hold that grudge for that comment and for his fairly passive relationship with them that he had. Some still like him for the CL, but he took over that team part way through the season and they were their usual poxy selves to get that result. It could've been anyone, and they should've lost it.
A large proportion of their fans including most that I know, hated him and wanted him gone long before he left, but he has regularly talked about his love for the city and the people, including Everton fans, and does seem to a be quite a genuine man who is well liked by many. The fact he would even consider managing here suggests he is not the died in the wool, bitter red that some believe him to be.
A lot of fans often take pride in the story of welcoming Shankly at Bellefield after he was shunned and ignored by those miserable, ungrateful barstewards and how fondly he remembered us later in life.
We get this reputation of being bitter, not because we are, but because its the only comeback they have when it's pointed out how privileged and fortunate they have been over the years, and how their complete lack of grace, both in winning and losing, emanates from their very pores. It helps us spot them a mile off.
I don't believe he is 1st choice for us, and nor do I think he should be. But if he ends up here, I'll support him and hope he ends up embracing us and hating them when they show themselves in their true form.
