Snap Poll - Big Sam

[Saint Domingo]

I mean the Moyes days when we were served this daily bullshit diet of how well we're doing, nearly mixing it with the big boys, fighting well above our weight, getting to accept long ball tactics as the norm as that's our true level really, etc etc etc. The last few years I felt that we had dropped that stigma, at least in our own minds. Expectations had risen. We believed we could compete with the big boys and indeed had many game where we dominated and deservedly won. How many times did that happen under Moyes.

If we appoint Allardyce as manager he will take us back to the Moyes era or worse, and expectations will be mid table is a decent season and 7th is brilliant and will get Allardyce manager of the season. Do you want that?

Complete revisionism. Even after the depths of Martinez and Koeman we still have this sort of rubbish being spouted about Moyes. I’d take a bit of bumping our heads against the glass ceiling again because at the moment we’re so far away we can’t eveb see it.

No point arguing mate as it appears academic now.

I just hope and pray that he doesn't damage our club as much as I expect him too.

The damage Ronald Koeman and Steve Walsh have done is beyond anyone to outdo. Allardyce will absolutely not make us any worse, he couldn't even if he tried.

From a new dawn to acopolypse in one season everton style

I notice the poll now shows about 50-50 surely the fact that 50% of us don't want him should be enough to swerve. give the job to Dyce

I don’t think the fans should have anything to do with the decision. The amount of clueless posts I’ve seen on this forum over the last few months has given me little faith in the average Evertonians’ understanding of football.

What an opportunity this is for him through, and he’ll know it. He’s well aware of his reputation and this is a chance for him to prove people wrong. A job with Everton after you had to leave England in disgrace? I don’t care how bad we are at the moment, it’s still a massive job for most managers and that includes a fella who normally gets offered ones at Crystal Palace level. Hopefully he takes it on and surprises us all. We’ve got to get behind him, too. No point doing anything else.

I hope you are right. Time will tell.

 

[Garymc2412]

I like him as a person and football knowledge etc etc
But I cannot accept him as an Everton manager.
Its a no way from me

When has Allardyce done that then?

 

[blueser]

don't want him, but if we beat Liverpool i'll name my baby Sam

 

[Toffeeslam]

If big Sam can get this team away from the relegation fight then i’ll Hold my nose and live with it.

Staying in the EPL is the essential if he keeps us

 

[Moomin]

This season has been like the recent series of the Walking Dead. A load of tosh.

 

[Gladystweet]

Still no. But it doesn't matter what us mere mortals think. The football "geniuses" upstairs, obviously know what they're doing....

Please just let it be summer.

 

[tnc85]

We are desperate. I’d say yes if we can get him to leave without costing a fortune

 

[Saint Domingo]

He hasn’t. I just don’t see why after the depths we’ve plunged to under the previous 2 managers that people are still calling out Moyes. Not only was he the last decent manager we had, he’s practically irrelevant given that it was 6 seasons ago.
