I felt the same about McMahon. Like you, I've never been too bothered about players going, although I felt Rooney could have stayed a couple more years, and I don't like what the departure of the likes of Onana, Gordon, and, in all likelihood, Branthwaite says about the club. The one departure that really had an impact on me, as a boy, admittedly, was Ken McNaught. At the time, I just couldn't understand why anyone would want to leave Everton.….never really bothers me when players leave but McMahon left a sour taste.
“Show me your bog face”
The boyhood club thing.I think with the advent of social media and being able to see these kids living the life you could only dream of it’s a lot harder to get annoyed. Someone’s offering me a 75%+ pay rise and I get a massive lump sum right away just for putting pen to paper? Not even a decision, boyhood club or not.
I'm sure it didn't help but we got humped by Arsenal 7-0 a season or two before that, we always did badly there under Moyes.I mean it was obviously a huge issue that affected the squad going into the match
Biggest Judas who DIDN'T leave: Baines.
