..it’s not been pretty but I suppose the common denominator is not the 3 managers who’ve presided over things this season, it’s the squad of players. The football has been dire, the performances have been dire. Allardyce deserves credit for our points return. I doubt anybody could get a tune out of this squad.
Allardyce annoyed me with his surrender against Arsenal. He might point out it was worth it given the 3 points yesterday but we want a team that are at least competitive in every game. I quite like Allardyce, but for that reason I have doubts that he is the man to take us forward. I do think managerial appointments are lots to do with right man, right place, right time and I wondered if Everton/Allardyce might be an unlikely success.
His after match comments yesterday do suggest he’s already planning for next season.
It looks that way, why would he even bother making statements about next season, there's no need to do it unless he's been told he will remain in charge next season
Be interesting to see what he can do with his own players in

Anyone suggesting Sam is "not that bad" has to think hard about if they're really satisfied with barely having a shot against the likes of West Brom and Bournemouth and surrendering at Arsenal despite selecting 7 defensive players.
Sam brought a decent bounce when he started but apart from the last two home games it's been wretched stuff.
I'm not sure who the answer is but I would hope a club which has spent so much on players and supposedly has high ambitions could do better than SA.

..regardless of whether he stays or goes, the concern is Steve Walsh’s record in assembling this squad.
Hopefully Sam has a bigger input than Koeman did, I think Sam could pluck out some gems

Watched MOTD last night and his interview. In talking about the team's form he claimed that Everton had been 'entertaining' the fans at home. I guess Sam is using a different definition of entertaining than I am.
I went to the WBA game a few weeks ago. I remember the ironic cheers when late in the first half Everton had a shot at goal, the first this year at home.
(The Manchester United game had us described as 'creatively bankrupt' by the BBC and we managed precisely zero shots on goal in that game. In the WBA game, facing a team in the relegation zone, we managed a grand total of 4 shots).
I've been to rowdier libraries than Goodison this season.

I think you'll find that was Mike Walker

Mike Walker led us to a magical 6-2 victory over Swindon (forget the 12 games-ish without a win).
Allardyce would've probably picked one striker and hoped to nick a 1-0.

Walker was just out of his depth here. Allardyce is much more than that.

Whoever the manager fans will carry on going, there would never be a half empty Goodson. Put it this way we are Everton fans we are use to disappointments to be honest we have more or less resigned ourselves to it, one day I hope things will just click and we will be regularly good. Sam might not be the best fit but I can see him seeing out his contract if he gets a decent run of results and we finish 7th,which looks very possible now and could get us Europa.If that happens Sam will have exceeded expectations of the board and will definitely start here next season. After all the money spent at the beginning of the season the board would have been happy finishing 7th so at the moment I see it as its Sams job to lose I can't see him sacked anytime soon.

I agree with the above, which isn't surprising,Eggs,because we are both to some extent 'tradionalists', and while Sam is always abreast of new coaching/fitness innovations,etc, he is basically an old fashioned traditionalist pragmatic manager. But he is good at what he does. Sometimes the desire from fans for a 'personality' coach with a tricky foreign name can be misguided. To be honest, if Sam gets this lot into Europe, he deserves his crack at it, for it will be his last hurrah. The signing of Walcott was a top class decision, and if the Mangala loan works out,and there is none better than Sam at sorting out a defenders weaknesses,then that could be a great signing. This season is Sam being Red Adair and fighting fires,but his clever use of the transfer market would indicate that he expects to see his contract out, at least.
'On their day' Arsenal can mesmerise anyone...their day isn't very often,but unfortunately we caught them on the day. So the 'plan' didn't work....sometimes plans don't work. Yesterday was as good a performance as you will get out of the present squad,but we'll get better,even under Sam.
Hes just done what you’d expect any decent manager to do though.
Our squad is lacking in some areas, but despite the really weird proclamations of some, it’s quite obviously much better than the majority of squads in the league. Just to give some context to that, our current manager has only been here 2 months, and the second most expensive player he has signed would be a club record signing for half the teams in the league. It’s hardly surprising we can beat relegation fodder at home with that sort of financial doping.
