Next Everton Manager

[Tramps_mate]

Your mate not sure about Simeone now?

He said today. Still 2 hours to go! Haha

Could be bottom 3 by the weekend.

Bottom 3 by this point of the season last year...2 of them (Hull and Sunderland) went down.

 

[onlyme]

I have no intention of going as long as he’s there and I ain’t your Pal, bud.

I appreciate you're upset but put into context, it's our club and has been since 1878. What happens today is a hump in the road and at the next junction it's still our club to be handed down to our kids/grandchildren.

 

[ijjysmith]

How many you got now mate? Start your own January half ticket season sale at this rate!

I’m not sure how sincere anyone has been my friend.

 

[sheedys left foot]

Good.

Might make the atmosphere better; all the moaners not turning up would be ideal.

You’ll have plenty of space & comfort to cheer on your new saviour.

Just see Kenwright saying to Ross, " would you like to stay, now we have Big Sam as manager" Ross, hahaha

Honestly I have to say that he has a slightly unfair reputation when it comes to his style of football. I’ve seen his teams play decent football before, especially Bolton, and just last season he took Palace to Anfield and comfortably won the game. He plays direct, effective football, not the most attractive but it’s by no means Tony Pulis levels. His problem is he obviously has a limit but given how our season is shaping out that limit will do just fine.

Yes he’s an unscrupulous man but can the people who are against this appointment purely on morals justify that we may get relegated? I see people saying they’d still prefer Unsworth which is just insanity. If you don’t want Allardyce for purely footballing reasons then that’s understandable. But this holier than thou attitude amongst our fan base has to go right now. We’re in a fight and you don’t bring a wooden spoon to a knife fight. And sometimes you have to play dirty.

I agree about his reputation, but I think it is over exaggerated. Football has moved on from these types of Dinosaurs. His premiership win percentage is 35%. That is lower than any current premiership manager (apart from the inept Unsie of course).

So all this "Will get the defence sorted" nonsense and "Will get the team organised" crud is a fallacy reputation based on a distorted facts.

It's like saying Donald Trump is a great businessman. But the fact that he was given $100 Million by his dad, was made bankrupt 5 times and if he had just left his money in a standard investment account at the beginning he would be vastly richer than his is now makes a joke of that statement.

The point is there are not many worse managers than this Slime Ball that could do a reasonable job.

As you mentioned the Crystal Palace performance let's look at his record there.
Played 24. Won 9. Drawn 3. Lost 12. So a total of 30 points from 24 games. We have 12 points from 13 games. Combine the two and you have 42 points from 37 games.

Do you still think he will guarantee safety?

Fred you strike me as a good sort.

I appreciate your honestly and take comfort in that there are other Evertonians that feel like I do.

There's quite a few that feel the same way which, as you say, is somewhat comforting. Sadly it doesn't change the situation though.

Mate I said it earlier that I railroaded my eldest boy into being a Blue, the two younger lads can make there own minds up. I doubt they’ll pick Everton off their own bat...

Dec 7th but mum’s the word, mate

Got to sell newspapers and dial in those clicks in the meantime.

Hence the Fat Sam, Silva, Fonz smokescreens.

At least you stick to your guns mate lol I wish that was the case but it ain't happening!

 

[Woolly Blue]

Might be nice for those of the working proletariat who have just got in to give an update, to save going through billions of pages. Just a thought

If you don't want to read the forums, but just want the latest news, I'd suggest, in no particular order three choices :-

• http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/teams/everton
  
• http://www.skysports.com/everton and
  
• http://www.grandoldteam

Otherwise, just wait till the site crashes and turn on your radio.

People think he’s another Pulis, he’s much better then that. Remember the players he signed for tiny little Bolton, Anelka Campo Djorkaeff Cahill, he was level pegging with Moyes for years on a much smaller budget and club. His appearance is against him, but he is an excellent manager, and in the predicament we are in we are lucky to get him. We ain’t going down now, and he will make some shrewd buys in Jan and bomb out the rubbish.

I think this is quite a lot of sense. If it is Big Sam then I’m quite positive and think he may surprise us. The only two teams spent much time with Bolton and West Ham he left in a much better position then when he’d joined.

 

[blulouie]

Can we just get behind him when he comes ?

Never.

Behind the team yes.

Oh well, I suppose they could choose Chelsea or Man Citeh.
End of discussion.

If you want to hide, yes.
