"At the end of the conversation I was asked if I was missing the family while we were away and I said I was. I'm not embarrassed to admit that being away from the family is difficult at times but I'm not the only player who feels that."

Capello reacted to that and dropped him before he could sit it out.

Imagine cristiano ronaldo saying that....and yes, some people are calling him the best Lb in the world, so the comparison is there

"It's natural when you've got a young family and you're away from home for long spells so I was shocked when I read some of the reports that later surfaced.

"I'd never mentioned the word 'homesick' once. I felt that my comments had been misconstrued and I came across as a bit of a moaner, which is not like me at all."

That’s not him saying he’d rather stay at home, that’s him saying he’s missing his family, big difference

Regardless, it doesn’t mean we have to give him a job. He just refused a contract, now he’s being offered another one in another capacity? Crazy.
Only football. This is a decision by one person only. And it isn’t brands, Moshiri or Ancelotti. Until this chairman (can you believe he is still chairman????) is gone, we will never progress. I bet Coleman can’t wait to retire now. It must feel like a real kick in the teeth if so many players who’ve spent longer than 4 years at the football club, don’t get offered some sort of job.....

How many times does this club have to hand out coaching roles to ex-players who haven't got any sort of experience or proof that they have the aptitiude for it?

It leads to a safe and sterile environment where managers come in and are faced with a culture of players having their backs covered for them by arl arse ex-pros.

It stinks, and it's destroyed us for years.

It's not him saying to Capello "I'm well up for this, let's go!", either.

He thought he could have good moan AND stay in a team, like he's always done here. Unfortunately for him Capello wasn't wearing that and he was dropped for a similar standard player in Warnock.
 

He's been great left back for our club defo, but has job for the boys have to agree the whole of finch farm needs sorting out,we need title winners in there telling them finishing top half of the table is good enough ffs.

Baines will have an arm around failing players telling them it's ok and not to worry, because they might do better with a new manager and just sit tight for the change.

THAT is the culture he was part of at Everton.
