Sam Allardyce

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

Arrogant

This was said in response to a meff of an interviewer asking him how he felt to be second choice behind Silva.

 

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

Think that tweet from Joyce has backfired, Sams answer was spot on, what i want to hear from a manager, no messing about, starting to warm to him, he is saying the right stuff now we need some results

Bang on.

It's about time we had a manager with fire in his belly.

Arrogant

God I hate journalists. Scumbags.

Nothing arrogant about answering an awful loaded question with an honest response.

 

[degsy]

Of all the words written on here or else where about Alladyce I don't remember ever seeing Incompetent. That will do for a start after the last 2

Never ever could he be called el fraudo
And he will never say ... yes but that’s football

 

[Rudolf Hucker]

Looking forward to seeing his first team selection.


Can’t wait to get to the game, which is a big change from Koeman, when I’d be thinking do I really have to go & who could I give my ticket to...


COYB!!!!!

 

[Rudolf Hucker]

I can't wait for him to bin off Mirallas and Schneiderlin.

If he can get Schneiderlin back to last season’s form, I’ll be happy. Equally happy if he makes an example of him & leaves him out till he gets shut in Jan window.


I’d take Mirallas to Cyprus & fcking leave him there. Never want to see that useless fanny near an Everton squad again.

He seems very proud to be here. Perhaps more so than Koeman ever did. I’m warming to him a little.

He’s amazingly lucky to be here. Yet another bang average manager. Mr 1.2 ppg.

Heres the context.

Sam Allardyce got on the front foot immediately as he started his reign as Everton manager with a withering putdown of Marco Silva.

The 63-year-old looked at ease at USM Finch Farm on Friday, describing the task he has been given as arguably the biggest of his club career and stating his ambition to stay beyond the end of a contract that runs until June 2019.

Farhad Moshiri, Everton’s major shareholder, returned to Allardyce after Watford rejected a £10million offer for Silva, who has received significant praise since he arrived in England for his work at Hull and Vicarage Road.

Sam Allardyce has defended his record as a manager and put himself above other candidates

The theory is that Allardyce will leave Everton next summer and the Portuguese – who will then have no release clause – will be appointed.

But when that issue was raised with the former England manager, he dismantled the claims of Silva while seizing the opportunity to firmly state his own abilities – and why it grates that his critics are quick to pigeonhole his style.

‘Let’s put it this way,’ said Allardyce. If you look at my track record, why wouldn’t I be here irrespective of Marco Silva? I have every respect for Marco Silva and I am not criticising Marco Silva but Marco Silva’s track record has got no comparison whatsoever with mine.

‘He got Hull City relegated (last season). That is perception. We have not to live in perception at our level. We have to live in reality and the reality is that I was spoken to. I pulled out and then I came back in because they felt it was the right thing to do.

‘I don’t know what went on before with Marco Silva whether he was before me, after me or in between me. All I know is they (Moshiri and dealmaker Keith Harris) came for me and I said “yes”. I said “yes” when I was on holiday in Dubai.

The former England manager has signed at deal at Goodison Park running until June 2019

‘The club, I think, wanted to give David Unsworth the job, first and foremost, before me and Silva. That’s how it is. I don’t worry. You can’t put all your eggs in one basket, do you know what I mean? You can’t say “I’m going to go for one manager and that’s it”. You have to see what is out there.’

It could not be said Evertonians were thrilled by the prospect of Allardyce succeeding Ronald Koeman and he is well aware he faces a challenge to turn public opinion. What was noticeable at USM Finch Farm, though, was a sense of calm had been restored after five weeks of turmoil.

Allardyce tried to remove some preconceptions about him, insisting he would stick to the club’s tradition and play youngsters from the Academy while deploy an attractive style. He was lavish in his praise of Wayne Rooney, while realistic about Ross Barkley, whose contract runs out in six months.

‘The first thing he needs to do is get fit,’ said Allardyce.

But what was most clear was his enthusiasm for the challenge. Deep down, he knew retirement was not right after he finished with Crystal Palace last summer and though Everton have been in a difficult position, this is not the kind of salvage act with which he has come to be associated.

Allardyce hit back at the mention of Marco Silva and outlined his superior record as a manager

‘Our relationship and our success determines how long you stay as a manager,’ said Allardyce, who has been joined by Sammy Lee, Craig Shakespeare, head of performance Ryland Morgans and will soon have goalkeeper coach Martyn Margetson on board.

‘Contracts are important to start off with but we all live with the fact if you don’t get results then your job gets under threat. Five managers gone already? That’s a quarter of the Premier League managers gone after 14 games. If you don’ t get results, you don’t keep your job.

‘It is only the players who are going to get us out of trouble. Hopefully with the backroom staff’s guidance, we will give them the right tools to do that.’

I don’t believe for one minute that the club wanted to give Unsworth the job. If they had they would have appointed him until the end of the season from the start. All they did with Unsworth was undermine his authority and hang him out to dry.

Totally right. I used to give Koeman the benefit of the doubt. I thought he was being miserable on purpose and downplaying everything. Now I just think he was a miserable and lazy B

Give him a chance. He’s here so we might as well support him.

For all of Martinez’s faults by all accounts he put his all in to the job and lives and breathes football. I remember being a little concerned when reading about the differences between him and Koeman, mainly that Ronald didn’t spend anywhere near the amount of time at the training ground etc. Seems he was more interested in playing golf.

 

[goodisonopheliac]

Martinez was a lot more hands-on with Everton than Koeman was. For all his many flaws I think he did genuinely care about the club, and he got involved in EITC, which is a big plus for me.

Good.

I want him to slap his balls in Plopps grid next week and ask him how many relegation battles hes won.

GRAVY GRAVY GRAVY

The mental image of the Anfield Alsatian getting teabagged by Fat Sam will haunt me forever.

 

[Tin-Tin]

He knows he's not going to get another job as big as this one and he will be desperate to make it work to try and get an extension on his contract. That should work in our favour.

I’ve always disliked dinosaur head and have kept an eye out for him at every club he has been at hoping he fails, just so I could laugh at him more (karma hates me) so here he is the new Everton manager the man not only key to keeping our club in the premier league but stabilising us, lets be honest, things haven’t been right off field for a while now. As much as I don’t want any of these three anywhere near this club, they’re going to have my support until at least the end of the season. As much as I understand everyone’s pain at them being here, I can’t understand people talking about booing him I think a few people need to man up and get a grip on reality!! The man who has been given the task of stabilising this great club, with so many problems in his path already, has to deal with a shower of self centred little man-boys booing him an their own team every week? I understand you’re embarrassed and are getting stick off your red mates

Nothing would scream ‘small club’ more than our own fans booing him while he is trying to HELP us. So to anyone staying away, fair play to the people who can’t wait to boo, please for us adult fans......grow a set of bollocks an either get behind the team or shut the F up (if I come across like a bit of a [Poor language removed], sorry I’ve just finished a 24 hour shift an I’m having a well earned drink at 10:30 in the morning ......)
