Sam Allardyce

[Papa Shango]

He as good as said, that the Premier League is too technical for him and he can`t cope with the players egos, when asked about what he`d do if Cardiff get promoted.

At least he`s honest, which is more than some.

I must admit I like Warnock. No messing around with him, says what he thinks and is a football man.

Wouldn't want him managing us like but he is good at what he does.

That article is just bang on.

It would be if we ignore the fact that Allardyce is a glorified caretaker until we get the man we want.

It has nothing to do with our ambitions or being small time. He is filling a roll until the summer, it has always been that I reckon.

There’s almost no point getting angry at Allardyce. He is what he is, when you hire him you know what you’ll get. All our anger deserves to go to the people who messed up the preseason, the re ruitkdjt, and who had no contingency plan for when Koeman was fired.

In a weird sort of way Allardyce is probably the only person at the club performing at their potential, it just happens to be a very low ceiling.

He`s good in the Championship and below.

Doesn't make him a bad manager...

Doesn't make him a bad manager...

It does in the Premier League - on his own admission.

However, he knows this and usually manages to stay in the leagues below.

It`ll be interesting to see what he does if Cardiff get promoted.

Have I really woken up to see Neil Warnock’s name being bandied around?

Give me strength.

It occurred to me the other day that outside of the top six, only Everton haven't played Championship or lower in the last ten years, and yet they remain just as far behind as those who haven't been collecting Premier League cheques since day one.

The club is an absolute joke from top to bottom.

The only reason we haven’t gone into liquidation was David Moyes. We were mortgages up to our eyeballs and Moyes kept us in the top half for a decade collecting tv money and operating at a net profit transfer wise. He’d have to sell his best players then just go out and find gems for peanuts. If we’d have had a poor manager relegation at some point would have been a certainty and the clowns who run the club would have had us liquidated. Moyes kept us from that fate until Moshiri could arrive and now we’re moaning that our new stadium might not be big enough or we wasted 200 million. Very different problems.

The only good thing the previous board did was hire David Moyes. Apart from that they’ve been the worst board in our history.

I think Johnson was worse to be honest. And when Sir John Moores died, his kids could not wait to offload to the sleaziest person they could find. They pretty much succeeded. Our board has been bad, but somehow and probably in spite of themselves, kept us going. Their collective problem was not enough money in an era of football billionaires - and by that I mean liquid funds, as on paper they were collectively worth a fortune.

However, I will never forgive them for appointing Allardyce - we have always been better than that, even in the grimmest of days.

I have posted previously about my distaste for now of the name calling and personal insults relating to Sam. I find a lot of it offensive and strangely it make me almost want to keep him here just to annoy those people even more.

However, the bigger picture is Everton and I think that where we are at the moment calls for a radical review of the football side of our club and Sam should not have a future in that for two reasons.

First.. he is an elder statesman of a manager at this stage of his career but he has a definite way of playing football and has used this all his working life as a manager. Football is constantly evolving and Sam and his methods have been left behind.
Leaving Sam in charge is an acceptance of mediocrity. We won't be relegated but we won't ever challenge to be a top team.


Second... appearance to the public...even though it should not be important , it is , and maybe even more important. We have spent a fortune in the transfer window, by the beginning of the new season we should at least have plans for our new ground and yet we are managed by a man whose biggest claim to fame is keeping teams safe from relegation.

Any way it is dressed up we will be seen as a mid table team and you can just see the apathy there will be amongst fans facing into the new season.

When there will be discussions about the coming season we will be talked about more in the group listed as relegation challengers than challengers for European football.

These are two reasons I want change and I don't need to insult or mock the man.

Even though he's in his 60s I'd pay money to see some of his more vocal detractors on the forum call him a gravy guzzling fraud to his face.

Hahah just wait and see how tomorrow goes and you might well get your wish.

Evertonians will speak their mind and they won't be kind about it.

In a group...maybe.Man to man,not a hope.Sitting behind a computer screen is a very comfortable place to be.
