I have been through the full range of emotions as a blue, boredom and apathy to exhiliration and anticipation - like loads of others, and now i'm just totally fed up and angry with the whole running of the club.
Its ok to send a survey on a manager and team, I think. It's not that clever, but it's not such a PR disaster and debacle that the press is making out. I certainly don't think that the director of marketing needs to be thrown under the bus like Allardyce and Kenwright seem to have done, but it also more importantly shows just what a shockingly badly run club this is. Who is actually in charge? Allardyce? He's got the right to comment on corporate matters now? Kenwright is providing an apology? is he in charge then? Ok so we all think Moshiri is calling the shots, cos he does interviews and makes decisions - so is he in charge?
What about Elstone? What's the fing point of a CEO? And what's more, just like the stupid F---ing Niasse 'dive' which was not a big deal I know, it just shows that our media, management, advocacy work is so crap. We are only getting panned in the media and by Allardyce cos there's no strong leadership and advocacy in our club. We could have line managed the director of marketing before the survey, they could have appealed strongly to the FA about NIasse's dive. There could be strong PR management in the media to spin our version of events..but no, we are still small time and punching above our weight, and 'poor little Everton' in every department.
I've had enough of this sh**show, you know maybe it shouldn't have happened but its ok to get rated on your job performance, it happens all the time. What it shows, which is apparent from all three of the last managerial appointments is that professional development / job assessment / appraisal interviews, or line management, is not given to our team managers and coaching staff. Otherwise Martinez might have overhauled his coaching staff and system, Koeman might have put some energy and sense into his tactics, and Allardyce wouldn't mouth off like a lunatic every week.
I hate this crap. If anyone still cares about my rant, I just recently had a baby, later than I had hoped, and i was so looking forward to buying her a shirt, taking her to matches etc, ...not even thinking about it now.
