Homepage Update: Everton reopen talks with Sam Allardyce

[Yorkie89]

We're conceding goals all over the place, have an unbalanced squad, a lack of team spirit and our summer signings are struggling.

Whoever we get in is going to struggle but Allardyce is the safest bet for us to stay up and build from there. I also think he's a far better manager than a lot of the FM playing, I want a sexy foreign manager brigade are saying.

He knows how to get the team working as a unit, uses modern methods to train and assess players performances and will give the team strong leadership.

My guess is we'll sign him on a 3 year deal if we can agree terms.

I'll get behind him if he signs. I think he'll prove a few of the snobs/bedwetter's wrong.

What’s to say he can’t come in have money to spend and smash this gig with us? I’m behind him 110% if he can get us winning games ugly or with fancy Football I for one won’t be complaining. I hope to god he smashes it for
Everton’s sake plus every single person In this forum who is against it will be eating they’re words. It’s like the niasse haters last year don’t make the same mistake twice. COYB

fair weather fan...

bet you'd turn up for an FA cup final telling everyone your a match going season ticket holder to get a ticket.

tut tut

Thing is I am tho I go the games so kiss my ass lad.

 

[Gordon Lee's Cushion]

Oh dear. And SSN understands Craig Shakespeare will be his number 2. Oh dear oh dear!! Pass me the sick bucket please!!

And Sammy Lee

 

[Thomasc]

True but I’m glad we done it now (hopefully) rather than allowing Unsworth to be hung out to dry until after Xmas.

I’m not Sam’s biggest fan at all, but I’m prepared to give him a chance.

It is gross negligence by a multi million pound operation mate!

I know on the footballing side we can see change coming, but we are still stuck with those utter fannies running it.

 

[peteblue]

We laughed at whu when they got moyes
And now Sams got us by the short n curlies
A summer of promise turns into a winter of discontent

I’d rather have had Moyes......

 

[kenada_blue]

Could have done this weeks ago if this was going to be the outcome!

What absolute cretins are running Everton Football Club Ltd?

If Unsworth had won a few games, we'd still be after Silva.

We've nosedived. Massively. So it had to be done.

 

[mike91efc]

Every single team he has ever managed bar west have have gone down... he wrecks clubs and we will be next...

Thats because they were all yoyo clubs anyway. Not everton

 

[nsno-chris]

Tuchel is completely un-proven and could easily be another Martinez. AVB had a terrible record in the premier league with Chelsea and Spurs.

It's too late for Dyche and Silva - we've left it too long and now the risk element for them both is way too high given how far we've fallen.

Mancini has done nothing to suggest he could improve us at all - if he couldn't maintain success with the best group of players in Enlgand if not Europe, then how is he going to get the best out of the worst team in the league?

Hiddink and LVG are sensible options in theory but again, they've mainly worked with top squads and have done nothing really to suggest they could turn this calamity around.

And Fat Sam as done what exactly hahaha

you just said you wont be going if Allardyce comes in.

make your mind up lid.

 

[whiteshadow]

If that was the case then they wouldn't have waited over 5 weeks mate.

I get why some people think that but from the other point of view there's not much you can do if the targets\clubs you want the manager from reject your approaches.

It's catch 22, they go for hard targets and don't get them "they're incompetent", go for easier targets "they're not showing enough ambition".

 

[Davidoff]

How did it come to this?

It's like a mad cohen brothers film

 

[strummer]

Will it be short term tho?

Hopefully mate. I don't like his style of play or personality but we look shell shocked at the moment

 

[msb]

best you don't come mate.

we need fans to get behind the team, regardless.

Suggestions are always welcome, but 59 years of supporting the blues, never left early, never booed the team, indicates that I am faithful to the club. But there are limits - for me Sam Allerdyce is the limit. I hope you're very happy together, but I'd check my wallet frequently if I were you.

 

[mcc]

Got a bad feeling this will go tits up fat sam isn't a guarantee of staying up and he will take u
A huge amount of wage and I bet he gets a two year contract

 

[Khalekan]

He is still “only” 1/5 so there is hope yet.

The way they are talking on TV and radio it is a done deal so I was expecting the books to have been closed.
