Now Big Joe Royle's Coming Back For More

[Duncan Disordely]

Joe Royle has been offered the chance to return to Everton and join Roberto Martinez’s backroom team.

Martinez wants to appoint a development director to liaise with the club’s loan players and monitor their progress and Royle is his first choice.

The club are speaking to the former Manchester City and Oldham manager, who was the last Blues boss to lift a trophy with the FA Cup in 1995, and hope he will agree to take up the new role.

Royle, 65, who was top scorer in Everton’s 1970 title-winning side, remains popular on his native Merseyside and his return to Goodison would be welcomed by fans.

Always surprised me that Joe hasn't been involved in some way behind the scenes. Would be good to have him back in some capacity.

Great to see Martinez reach out to him as well (if the story's true mind) shows that he definitley gets our club.

Mirror, so I'll take it with a pinch of salt, but I'll be made up if it happens.

Love Joe.

Amazing to think what he achieved at a tiny club like Oldham, really was a terrific manager for a while, was a mistake when he was forced out of Everton.

RM is making all Evertonians pround - allowing Duncan Ferguson to join his backroom staff, now trying to get Joe Royal. Just amazing how he is adding true Evertonians to his team.

Still my favourite Everton great. I have met him a few times and he always makes time for every single fan. I remember an event he did where he stayed back hours after all the other guests to make sure each fan got a photo/autograph and a chance to chat with him. The more people like Big Joe we have working for the club the better.

Has he got rid of Stubbs yet ?

Last manager to have an Everton team people truly feared until this season.

Would be made up if the story is true.

My best days as a supporter were with him as manager. Though 18-20 years ago those memories I can recall as if they had just happened.
