Alan Myers leaves Everton for 'personal reasons'.

Not open for further replies.
According to the echo he told the club yesterday he was intending leaving. Its standard practice if you have a work phone that you'd return it and the account be closed as soon as you left. Same with email accounts etc.

He wouldn't have been able to tell people that that number wouldn't work before his departure was announced as that would raise the obvious suspicions.

There may have been behind the scenes issues, but I stand by my view he's burnt/stressed out.
 
Look at it logically:

- The man is a huge success in his role.
- He's a life long Blue and at every turn has said what a dream job it was (he was saying this as late as December).
- There's a minor spat on Twitter with a couple of clowns who objected to the EITC day. Alan leaves Twitter for a few days (completely out of character), then returns.
- Alan leaves Twitter again on Feb 18th, citing illness.
- Alan's departure announced today, taking EVERYBODY by surprise. Even people in the local media, Greg O'Keeffe from the Echo in particular, who must have saw the guy nearly every day for the last 5-6 months, was stunned.
- No notice period is being served.
- Club phone cut off immediately.
- Pointedly no thanks to the hierarchy in his departure tweets.

Maybe it was just 'personal reasons'. But the fact nobody had an inkling this was coming would seem to indicate there's more to this than meets the eye. It just seems so odd that a man who repeatedly said he was in his dream job and who was basically extremely well liked by nearly all supporters, plus had the respect of the wider media too, would suddenly opt to leave of his own volition. Mid-season too. If it was in May, then you could maybe understand it. The fact he never lasted until the end of the season.... I do wonder if this really was his decision to leave.

The whole thing is such a shame, because from the outside looking in he was such an asset to the club and such a great guy too.

Regarding the phone business, if he had the resignation planned as you suggest then he would already know what his new contact is given he is a journo.
 
weirdly i emailed him a message of support yesterday and he thanked me. I must have accidentally given him the dreaded vote of confidence
 
Crap this, clearly a decent fella brilliant at his job as responsible for off field positivity as RM is on field.

Very worrying if the "phones cut" rumour is true, an intelligent man like Roberto will take one look and make a mental note "los feckers shifty"

We're all from the outside looking in, but it does seem bizarre. My teaching assistant actually lives in his road and has always said what a fantastic bloke he is, so it seems highly unlikely he'd have gone around the club making enemies.

I just hope the next person in the role can continue Alan's good work because everyone of us is unanimous on what a brilliant job he's done in bringing the club closer to its fans.

I noticed Roberto was even more unshaven at today's presser than he normally is!

"I'm not shaving for those feckers, not after they shafted my mate Alan!":p

Does worry me mate, Roberto was incredibly loyal at Wigan he turned down Villa and Liverpool because he wasn't comfortable with their operation.

If Alan Myers has been stitched up the first sign Billy and co start messing him round he could be away his stock is through the roof with the transformation he's managed here, he won't be short of options.
 
I hope Myers hasn't accepted a confidentiality clause and starts briefing against Kenwright and Elstone in the media. SSN's team should be getting worked some juicy morsels in the coming weeks and months you'd expect.

There's something quite disturbing at the People's Club behind the scenes.
