Everton reopen talks with Sam Allardyce

Status
Not open for further replies.
Nope.

Allardyce 5 weeks ago would have been bad, Allardyce now, after more than a month of self harm, shows that we are now a joke club. Like it or not we are now at the level of Sunderland or Crystal Palace. They are the club's that make these sorts of appointments. The difference is they make them quickly. We had no plan for a new manager, just like we had no plan in the summer for signings. The club is in a shocking state and this crap just exemplifies it.

You can shrug your shoulders and say "that's football" if you like but, typically, this type of scenario ultimately leads to relegation. Maybe not this season but soon enough. What players will join us now? Journeymen and mercenaries, that's who. Relegation is at the end of this road, sooner or later.

Sad day to be an Evertonian.


To be honest there's a lot in there I tend to agree with.

I'm not trying to defend the board. I'm more so trying to point out that mid way through a season our REALISTIC options are not those of the ilk of Ancelotti, Simeone, Tuchel etc.

Furthermore our REALISTIC options when we are probably the worst team in the league currently reduces that pot even more so.

So what do we do? Keep Unsworth in charge & have a higher chance of relegation? Or finally after 6 weeks of searching make a compromise to give ourselves a better chance of staying in the premier league?
 
What’s that in the sky? Is it a beam of light projecting a half-eaten pie onto the underside of those ominous clouds?

It is, you know.

It’s the Sam Signal, beamed from the roof of the Main Stand stairwell.

Farhad Moshiri, the tails of his cashmere overcoat whipping in the wind, the icy rain beading on his glasses, grips the Klieg light and stares to the heavens.

‘Do you think he’ll come?’ whispers Steve Walsh, huddled from the elements in his [Poor language removed] Leicester Kenny coat.

‘He’ll come,’ says Moshiri, jaw set sternly. ‘He always comes.’

And indeed, Sam Allardyce, the corpulent carpet-bagger, has made himself a very wealthy man by cultivating his image as the only game in town for struggling Premier League teams.

Everton are certainly one of those, and if the latest reports are to be believed, of all the avaricious opportunists putting themselves in the frame for one of the biggest jobs in Britain, and probably one of the best-paid in world football, Allardyce is set to be the one who comes up holding the Goodison golden ticket.

What an absolute embarrassment that is.

He wasn’t suitable the other week, but on the strength of a couple of performances – admittedly horrific ones – a ‘relegation specialist’ is the only answer to our predicament.

For [Poor language removed]’s sake. What a crushing lack of imagination and vision that shows.

Even worse than giving Allardyce the job full time is giving him, or indeed anyone, a contract until the end of the season. That just creates more uncertainty and more turmoil, and almost certainly a load of short-sighted signings in January that may be enough to earn the manager a massive ‘survival bonus’ but will leave even more [Poor language removed] for the summer’s full-time appointment – presumably some louche foreign sort – to try and deal with.

‘But he’s trying to get us to play football on the deck – these players weren’t used to that after playing under Sam’.

You know the script. It’s played out plenty of times.

So anyway, Everton, the School of Science, are reduced to begging for the services of a disgraced England manager who did well with that hateful Bolton Wanderers and, most importantly, ‘has never been relegated.’

What a claim to [Poor language removed] fame.

Like being proud that you’ve never bummed dogs. Okay, that’s arguably worse, but having never been relegated it’s quite hard to compare.

Seriously, how can giving millions of pounds to that [Poor language removed]-shirted, narcissistic, bully-beef gobshite be the only option?

Absolutely ridiculous.

Every mention of the tit makes Sean Dyche, the manager off the fish counter, seem more like Marcelo Lippi.



Absoluetly spot on.
 
Good. the club is in the [Poor language removed] and it needs someone that's been knee deep in the [Poor language removed].

Still dont think Koeman planned our pre season right either. We looked very unfit and under prepared coming into the first competitve games in europe and in the league
 
Hiring this guy is all part of Moshiri's plan to relegate Everton and use us as a tax write off. Meanwhile his mate will acquire Liverpool and turn us into his feeder club. It has to be something like this, billionaires can't be so clueless right?

Unsworth just appeared for the second half of the U23 game at Southport. I assume he's on the eve of taking back over charge.
20:23 - 27 Nov 2017

You can't help but feel sorry for the lad, temporary managers never have any real authority at the best of times as the players know all too well.

'have a bad game here and it doesn't really matter too much as he'll be out before I am and I can always recover for the new boss'

They normally only do it for one or two games, but Unsy's just been left and hung out to dry while the club's own contribution to comic relief has been taking place and in so doing has also severely damaged his own chances of a first post at a more stable and perhaps lower profile club.

What we should have done is targeted someone realistic weeks ago. That ship has sailed and now no one will touch us, why would they? The board should resign en masse.
