I honestly cannot understand how anyone could want Allardyce here next season. Sure he has done what was asked of him, nobody would deny that but he has never won anything in his managerial career other than lower level leagues and promotions. This is Everton we are talking about, one of the most successful and long serving clubs in English football with a huge amount of honours and achievements to be proud of in our history, but it has been far too long and is becoming a distant memory now. We cannot allow ourselves to become a club where mediocrity becomes the norm and acceptable. Our expectations and ambitions should always be to win trophies, get high up the table and to try and win the league again as we move forward and improve. 8th will never acceptable to me and especially in a league that has been as poor as this one has been this season.

Having someone like Sam Allardyce at the helm is the complete opposite what Everton's ambitions and expectations should be. From game 1, his target will be to try and not get beat and to reach 40 points for safety. Beating any of the top 6 or 7 teams will be seen as a bonus and a rarity and mostly expected losses. The football will continue to be dull, boring and tedious, the arrogance, lies, disrespect and ignorance of the club and supporters will continue and worsen, the lowering of peoples expectations, acceptance of mediocrity, the blame shifting, credit stealing and the I, We and They will all continue. We will continue to have other supporters laughing at us for having him as our Manager and for good reasons. If he was Liverpool's Manager i would be laughing my head off too.

It is just beyond me how anyone could want that for next season. I want to win things and i want the best teams in the league to be cacking themselves when they play us and i want to be on the end of my seat filled with excitement when watching my beloved blues.

I will never accept mediocrity. He has to go lads.
 
I expect that will be an easy and popular early "kill" for him next season to sack Allardyce.

Yeah, takes real balls do that. So another year wasted on the fortune lottery that Everton Football Club as become. Moshiri has three weeks to decide how he wants to play this. He either want's us to compete, Hollywood style, that makes me laugh. Or he's in it, to score off of the dock development and using the club as a conduit. We'll see.

After that, any idiot will be able to see past the smoke and mirrors.
 
He's tougher to get rid of than that T1000 off Terminator 2

He was brought in to a job and no one can deny he's done it, Question is how he'd do with a Summer transfer window and full
preseason with the team.
No that’s not the question. The question is are we going to show some ambition and sack him at end of season or are we going to accept mediocrity and turgid football. Everyone going the final home game needs to be making their feelings known. I will - he has to go!!
 
An interesting question is, would you rather have Sam Allardyce or Marco Silva? Also baring in mind that the Silva move will cost us 6 million

That may well be the choice and I genuinely don’t think it’s an easy one.
 

A few people turning on results against dross but ask yourself this what does he build if he stays for a season or two?How long has he got left in football?Does he invest in our younger players and our future?Can he push us beyond 7th? What kind of players will he bring in?Does he improve players? Does he have an ethos beyond get behind the ball and launch it and hope a few moments come off?
 
33 points since taking over, his first game being on the 2nd of Dec, 15 games into the season.

33 points in 21 game

That’s an average of 1.57 point a game.

If that Average was to be repeated over a season we would have 59 points.

Pretty much sandwiched between where Chelsea and Arsenal are in 5th and 6th.

Has to be said though the above is based on managing what, I think we would all agrree is another mans poorly recruited team.

It's a slight risk but Silva. He would develop an identity, will invest in younger players, plays good football. Isn't afraid of the bigger clubs. Can spot a player, good coach, is young enough to stay for three years at least. He isn't my first choice but he'd give me more hope than Sam.
 
I've been of the opinion that Allardyce was only ever going to be here until the summer and that the final 12 months of his deal was for him to get a retirement severance in what would be his final job.

However, looking at this with an objective hat on; looking at Allardyce's record on paper, I'd be surprised if he was straight up sacked. His remit was to keep us in league and he's done that, I'm very unhappy that we haven't reeled Burnley in for the Europe spot but I doubt there was that kind of pressure on Bisto from the boardroom.

I think if Allardyce wants to stay in management for another year, I think he will.

And that is what is wrong with this football club.

I fully agree with that statement, and it's the opposite of what 250 million spent should produce.
