Everton EXCLUSIVE: The real reason for Kevin Mirallas’ exit revealed - board are to blame

KEVIN MIRALLAS left Everton this month after being fed false promises by the club’s board last summer.

Mirallas completed a loan move to former club Olympiakos last week and will stay in Greece for the rest of the season.

The 30-year-old only started two Premier League games this term and it would appear his Everton career is now all but over.

Starsport can reveal that Mirallas was told he would play a far more prominent role in the Toffees’ campaign but remained out-of-favour under ex-boss Ronald Koeman.

And while the midfielder had no issues with new chief Sam Allardyce, he wanted to leave after growing frustrated with the club’s board.

A source said: “He was unhappy in Everton, even from the start of pre-season.

“He understood that he would not be the first choice, although when he signed a new contract, he was led to believe that he would be an integral part of the team.

“He had no problem with Sam Allardyce, because he is a new coach. He didn't have a problem with Big Sam at all, more with the previous boss and the board.”

Mirallas joined Everton from Olympiakos for £6m in August 2012 and has made 186 appearances for the club, scoring 38 goals.

But the Belgian ace never truly settled on Merseyside and always had aspirations of returning to Greece.

The source added: “When he left from Olympiakos, he said that one day he would return.

“He spent many extremely good years in Greece, people loved him and respected him, he always wanted to come back.

“Maybe he wouldn't expect that the moment would come so soon.

“Olympiakos doesn't have such quality players like Mirallas. He will be the star of the team.”

Mirallas is under contract at Everton until June 2020 and Olympiakos do not have the option to buy him as part of their loan agreement.

But with Allardyce eyeing reinforcements both this month and next summer, it is unlikely that the Toffees would stand in Mirallas’ way if he wants to leave for good in the near future


Koeman's legacy lives on.

I thought he'd signed a 5 year extension last year (as announced by Bk at The Dixies).

was a 3 year mate, I think because he had 18 months or so left we assumed it was a 3 year extention, obviously just a 18 month extention

They represent all the good games Big Kev has had for us in the last 3 seasons.

The two black dots are pieces of eight !

Some boss goals on there, good finisher

Flattered to deceive. He was the definition of a player that can look good on a You Tube highlights reel that ignores all the crap for the other 89 minutes of a match.

Good riddance to a bad egg, enjoyed some of his performances over the years but ultimately he had to go. Morgan has got to be next.

This. He was always a rat - just for a while he could be tolerated.

Never trust a man (or woman) who’s eyes are so close together like Kev’s.

Science. Can't argue with that.

Would love to think we're moving on as a club and never again have to sign this type of player.....

Can't we simply forget this no mark.

Nothing to do with Koeman. He’s a waste of a shirt, always has been. Greece is his level

You can dislike the way he has handled ....well, quite a bit of his career at Everton, but he's not a 'waste of a shirt'. Has ALWAYS been one of the absolute few to not bottle it in a derby and has provided some memorable moments. Wish him well with a moderate 'but you could have done so much better with us, you tit'.

 

[Big Fat Sam]

One good game in fifteen. Has largely been a waste of space for us. Really wanted him to succeed, but he's not got the heart for it, hence him pining to go back to Greece in what should be the best years of his career. Don't need the likes of him and his golden Bentley hanging around L4 to be honest.

 

[royvernon39]

Koeman gave Miralles a 3 year contract extension - add it to his list of cock-ups.

If there was one player he should have unloaded it was Miralles. Lukaku scored goals despite
Miralles.

 

[carolinablue232]

Talent was always there. He scored some fantastic goals for us. Problem was his attitude. Shame.

When you say never bottled a Derby do you actually mean he hoofed Suarez?
He never influenced a Derby to the point where we actually had a go and similarly he never influenced games against anyone half-decent. He had an overly-high opinion of his own capability and he made sure everyone knew it. How many managers did he go through whilst at Everton...five...and not one of them trusted him enough for him to be a regular starter.
There's a reason he's playing in the Greek League.

Don't think the manager decides on/negotiates contract extensions

Never buy Belgian
