I'll tell you what he'll bring to Everton if he's employed on the plaing side: a reinforcement of the culture that it's ok if you do your best - and if that fails or succeeds it's incidental to effort. Just like Ferguson, Ebbrell, Jeffers, Unsworth etc, he played at this club at a time when winning wasn't the all important measurement of a player or group of players. Working hard and being mates with each other is the criteria of the past 15-20 years - being the best or winning trophies just doesn't come into it.

Baines will give you more of that. It's a retrogressive move. A stunt that's typical of the fools who own and govern this club.

He played mainly at a time when we regularly finished higher than our financials suggested we should, regular European football. It's not his fault the Club wasn't in a position to push on. What would you expect them to do against teams who had a much much larger budget than us?

We had our chances to win cups. The mindset though was that it was enough to reach a SF or final. Lesser clubs got to those stages and stepped up to win a trophy.

He didn't start that mentality, but he became part of it. He personifies it.
