Sam Allardyce to be confirmed as new Everton manager

[catcherintherye]

You never know, he might appreciate the job unlike our Dutch Moonhead who had an utter contempt for us and pissed £200mill up the wall.

Walsh did that second bit mate.

Benvenuto Allardici.

Crystal Palace, West Ham & Jiangsu Suning all say the same

Jim White is Moshiris public mouthpiece, so it's as good as confirmed officially.All we can do now is wish Big Sam luck.Hopefully he'll do a good job for us.

He is but he's normally wrong. Not saying he is this time. This is as good as done and has been since the Southampton game.

Far be it from me to defend our new manager, but you must look at the clubs he was managing. I wonder what win% Guardiola would have had he been in charge of them ?

You would have a point if it wasn't for the fact that EVERY other manager in the premiership has a better win % than he has.

My future kids can support who they want

If we’re relegated, can we sack him? Apologies if this question has been posed elsewhere.

 

[LiamG]

He's running the show.

In fairness that is his job. Just a shame I have no confidence he can do it.

Think you'll find a manager can be sacked anytime.

 

[Death]

All this and he's a double over the rs away from becoming a cult hero.

 

[ProZ]

Does Fat Sam know our history? Could he reel off the great names like Preki, Angell and Nyarko? I think not. Fat Sam doesn’t get us.

Could Ronald Koeman?

 

[Joey66]

Just think, we have employed an ex England manager, not many can say that.

Only he was dismissed two games later for taking a bung - great credentials!- NOT!

 

[APN_EFC]

I didn’t even think of that till now that yeah Even Moyes would have been better than this

Hope cult was not a spelling mistake as a swear wordlol

I hate the appointment as much as anyone. It's backward thinking and utterly ridiculous given we could've employed a multitude of better qualified managers if we had people that actually knew about football outwith this island and weren't obsessed with EPL experience (I'm staring at you Walsh!)

The only good thing I'll say about Sam is from his appearance on talksport a couple of weeks ago, which was almost like an audition for the job, he really does realise how much of an honour it is to manage the club and totally understands just how big a gig it is.

Doesn't mean he'll be any good at it like, but unlike that Dutch fella who has left us in an utter state of disarray, he at least appreciates just how big a club we are and will be proud to be our gaffer.

I actually don't mind Big Sam. Out of all the managers that play "that way" he is the best.

As for the corruption charges. I honestly think it systemic problem - a left over from a time when football was run by Blatter and the rest of his cronies.
