Ronald Koeman discussion

No, I dont think he would either. I think he knows what side his bread is buttered on and will do enough to have supporters pacified, though not enthused, thrilled and dreaming of great football and success - which takes a manager who has a vision and acts boldly in every game. That came off for Roberto in one season and failed in two others. C'est la vie.

He's a steady as you go boss.

I really don't mind direct football as long as we win games. Winning games mean it is great football.
 

Moyes got 4th X 1, 5th x 2, 6th X 2, 7th X 3. He is superior to the previous manager.

Big Joe won the FA Cup. Another greater achievement don't you agree?
What you possibly mean to say is that Moyes was here almost four times as long as Martinez and had the time to get decent positions in the league (as well as nearly relegating us with our worst points total for 50 years in one season). But Moyes is not the coach Martinez is. Martinez is a great attacking coach whereas Moyes is a bang average coach in all aspects of the game. Do you think one of the best international outfits in the world would ever employ Moyes? They did Martinez, and therein essentially lies the difference: Martinez is a thinker and a strategist; Moyes was just a dinosaur Sgt Major...an analogue manager in a digital world, as they say.

It's called hoofball mate. And it goes right against the grain of our tradition. You are entitled to liking route one footy though. No crime against it. It;s just not what Evertoniains generally would say is their ambition for their team. I know of no Evertonian who would rather have kick and run footy over footy on the deck. Sorry, but that goes with the territory of supporting this club imo.

Dave, our tradition is winning.

If it helps us win, then it's the way to go.

That's extremely harsh on Moyes if it wasn't for him we may never have been in this position looking to compete with the "Big 6"
Enough for him to get a move to one of the biggest clubs in the world.

Mate, I ALWAYS give Moyes credit for that. I'm one who supported him to the hilt for the first 9 years he was here. I know about his steadying influence. But that doesn't blind me to the fact that he was a terrible football coach...something he's gone onto prove beyond doubt since he left the cosy and forgiving confines of L4

Congratulations, suey.

I was wondering when I was going to see the term "Big 6" committed to print and that accolade goes to you ;)

I think any manager should want to play football on the deck as a given. I know it's not always that easy but I do expect it, shame on me for wanting good togger.

I'm going to just see if all our comrades on here are correct and he is only playing this style because he has no belief in the players(arguably still should be able to coach them but ok). I really hope they are correct, even the most ardent supporters will get fed up of another few years of hoofing it.

I don't know, maybe we were just spoilt in Roberto's first season, been a long time that we have been that excited, pity it was an anomaly.

Moyes deserved the time because he did not take us backwards or he had two crap seasons in a row. Nor he had lost the dressing room and the large crowd at Goodison turned against him unlike the previous manager. Plus Moyes hardly spent any cash or net spend, yet we got 4th-7th in 8 seasons out of 11. RM, well he just got found out and that's why he was sacked by Moshiri.

Mata was signed by Moyes at United he is one of the best international outfit is he? RM got lucky with Rom. Initially he asked for Ba and Chelsea offered us Lukaku instead. Still credit to where it is due.

I was seeking your opinion on Royle. In your opinion, a trophy, the FA Cup won by Royle must be a greater achievement than the 72 points trophy because according to you 5th is going nowhere.
