It’s not so much that it’s Allardyce. It’s what he represents. His appointment means that Everton’s plans last summer failed abysmally, it means we couldn’t attract any other manager, it means that Moshiri has no clue what he’s doing, it means there’s no strategy at the club other than Bill and Suntan Bob’s avoid relegation at any price then sit back and do nothing. It means that the good parts of Moyes and Martinez’s work: the academy that produced Barkley Davies Dowell, the recruitment system that unearthed John Stones and Holgate will now all go to ruin as we look to play percentages and stay in the league. It means that any player of any ambition knows we’re a charlatan club who can’t be trusted when we approach them to sign.
Stadium work aside (and it’s a watching brief on that). We’ve been had by a most unholy partnership of ineptitude between Kenwright and Moshiri. To end up being in the position with the squad we now have necessitating the hiring of Sam Allardyce is nothing short of gross negligence.
Without too much hard work we could have been presiding over a young team of top British talent Barkley Davies Dowell Lookman Stones Holgate and s hungey young top striker brought in with the Lukaku money, all playing under a progressive attacking manager showcase on European competition.
Instead we have cancerous mercenary warts infested throughout the club from Koeman to Schneiderlin, Walsh to Williams, top to bottom everyone is here only for a slice of some dollar coin.
We deserve so much better. They have taken one of the finest institutions in the game and played monopoly with it. We’ve put up with embarrassment after embarrassment and then they go and hire Sam Allardyce. F off Everton you arseholes.
