Sam Allardyce

And a further two or three weeks of the love in to come as the build up to the Final intensifies.

Oh don't.
I actually couldn't sleep last night.

Man City fans must have felt that way for decades and then along came a bunch of Arabs with endless loot and look who is top now.

What lasting damage has he done to the club in the transfer market ? Walcott ? Tosun ?

Blame him for the things where he has responsibility and not something he had nothing to do with.

Allardyce has either met or surpassed pretty much my expectations when we made him manager. In fairness the one area where I have been surprised is in the players purchased. whoever was behind buying the players, both Tosun and Walcott have been good buys in my opinion, in so far as they are better than the players that we had in situ, and have improved team performance.

However my expectations of Allardyce are that he will still buy players to suit his safety first ideology, and that means tried and tested, most probably with experience of fighting relegation battles. It will be out with the young and in with the old. If he is still here we will definitely see Lookman leave, and most likely the likes of Vlasic, Holgate and possibly Dowell too. At the end of his stint (assuming he stays the full 12 month term which I very much doubt) we will have a very old squad of high earners that we are going to find very hard to move on, and we will have lost some of the best young players in the country. We will also no longer be an attractive proposition to other highly rated young players.

That is the lasting damage I expect from him because it is exactly what he's done at other clubs he's "saved from relegation". When he came, many argued that he would be different here. Well he hasn't shown it so far and I don't expect him to either.

He's publicly alienated all three to varying degrees. Do you see any of them still being here next year if he's still the manager?

Maybe,just maybe at the moment they aren't good enough to start.

That's cheered me right up that has.

Based on what? Lookman has looked good whenever he has played. Vlasic has looked good. Klaassen struggled but hasn't had a chance since September.

To say they're not good enough is complete guess work. I'd rather see any of them than watch Bolasie roll the ball under his foot 3 time before running into the defender or watch "born winner" Wayne pass to the opposition every game.

What has? Even if we get loads of cash from some dodgy investment group that we'll still bottle it against the dark side?

We've got our Billionaire owner. We spent £200m on players and we're the same. The club is snakebitten. lol

We'll just spend it on magic beans.

It never takes long,you'll have posters saying he's taking bungs from the senior players to keep them in the team,brown envelopes from agents will be the dirge of the Summer with every signing he makes.It'll keep you amused though.it does brighten my day.I'm wondering when the first one will have a heart attack at the keyboard.

Wolves will have more money to spend than us this Summer.

If only we could.

What’s the point of wasting anymore energy or time supporting this joke of a club.

Regardless of whether or not the slug stays the club are going nowhere and are further than ever away from closing the gap on the top 6. Goodison is rotten to the core, the magic is gone and has been replaced by boring negativity.

Everton stopped caring a long time ago about trying to be a competitive team so I have no idea what we’re all still doing here.

As fans we are under greater pressure because of the success of our neighbours this season, but we have to disregard that and look objectively at what Everton needs to do going forward.

I want to know what the grand plan is over the next 5 years. Sacking Allyrdyce and replacing him with Silva or Fonseca is not making a statement... it is about accepting that we cannot attract better names and instead we take a risk and hope it works out well.

Whoever comes in has a job to build a team they want. Hopefully they will find the more of the players currently at the club suits their needs than many of us expect, but it is a medium to long term project.
I think we may have to accept also that most of the young players that have come through into the team will be moved on and we know that lots of money has to be spent in building this team and accept also that more money will still be wasted, it is the nature of things.

I want a manager full of pent up anger and energy prowling the sideline like a caged lion. I want a manager celebrating goals and furious over missed chances and goals conceded.
Ideally I would like Emery, if my fairy godmother were to grant me a wish it would be Simeone or Allegri but I think that Emery may just be a possibility whereas the others are not.

I know that for some getting rid of Sam is enough, for me I don't see the point unless the next appointment has me immediately looking forward to the transfer window, pre season and the first game of next season with excitement and expectation.

I think that if Sam stays next season we will finish somewhere between seventh and ninth. We will be solid, hard to beat but not be a threat to those above us.

No matter what the RS do mate, we're still crap.
We're crap when they're good and we're crap when they're crap.

We're crap.
