Sam Allardyce

[Papa Shango]

Because it's Big Sam. Look at the teams he has managed and the squads he leaves behind.

We're a mediocre, living in the past sort of club whose loyal fan base is desperate to see it return to the top of English football, but ultimately would be happy for us to finish 7th or 8th. That's what the media would have you believe.

An Evertonian (one worth his salt anyway) would tell you we are proud club of firsts, that have had the privilege of having some of the finest players the UK has produced playing for it. Not just playing, but giving everything for the shirt. A club that has won 9 league championships, 5 fa cups and 1 European trophy. A club that was, until recently, used to dining at the top table English football. We expect attacking play. We expect 100% from every player for 90 minutes. We dont even care if that player is utter garbage, if he gives 100% for the shirt. We expect the players to share our mentality, and we have lacked that of late. Not since Tim Cahill left has anyone truly "got" Everton.

Now we have some waster in charge telling us we need to be "more boring" after we have been played off the park and had 0 shots on target for a 3rd game in 5. A man who has literally achieved nothing in his career. Do you think he should have the honour of managing our great club?

Not every club wants be like that. Not every club can be that.

Yes I do. For me Everton is (or should be) a club who gives their manager a chance and backs the club. For some reason recently we have gone away from this an have judged people without even giving anyone a chance.

We do care if a player is utter garbage. In fact we judge players before we even get a chance to see if they are garbage. Coz that's what we do these days.

You say we were dining at the top table until recently? Its been a quarter of a century! Our history is boss etc but in terms of a premier league side we are just another team in the grand scheme of things. Tim Cahill may have "got" Everton. He also won nothing in his career.

Yeah we may "expect" attacking play. We have also had no great attacking play for two seasons by and large. Is that Allardyce's fault? Of course it cant be, we have the same players who were abject when Koeman was here this season too.

There’s no way he took the job without a decent guaranteed transfer budget.

 

[Stuartisitc1878]

Stoke could do with him right now.

Just listen to the fat crook, working his way through the media to make out that he’ll be saving us from certain relegation.

You don’t see the teams below us signing £27m striker, Fat Head.

Hate that we’ve got this pie head as our manager. Just doesn’t feel real.

 

[GrandOldParty]

Others have said it. He's won the lottery. Massive pay off when he does leave at the end of the season and he'll of course claim that we were on the way to the Championship before he intervened and saved us.

I think you'll find that was always the agreement between him and the club in the first place mate.

( At least I very much hope so )

 

[sageyefc]

He's one of the highest paid managers in world football atm, let that sink in

TONIGHT

You're gonna have yourself a good time?

 

[CountyRoadKid]

Could not have summed him up better.

Absolute horror. Those in the media and the fan boys on the terrace will hail him a hero for saving us(if he does)

Following the trend I predicted, an upturn then a plummet

I hate this man

 

[artetas_biggest_fan]

People actually defending this man

Sake

Indicative of how far we have fallen.

Appointing Sam Allardyce was not only damaging in terms of the fact he's [Poor language removed], but also in terms of perception. When you appoint Sam Allardyce you are saying he is our level.

Sam Allardyce, Everton manager.

 

[Slippin Jimmy]

He thought we were 'too attacking' yesterday and at least partly pinned that on the fact that we were beaten heavily.

Hmmm.

A tacticly astute summary of the match
