Sam Allardyce

At least we wont go down with him in charge, which the board will love hahaha.

I said it when he was appointed, hes a short term appointment, even if Big Sam thinks otherwise. The fans will get him the sack, because a lot dont like him and never will.

I think the most crucial appointment is who will be Director of Football and who will manage after Big Sam. If we mess them appointments up. We are totally screwed

The yellow banner of “sam allardyce leaves Everton” cannot come soon enough

That's such a pleasing scene. Imagine obviously flipping through the channels and seeing that surname on sky sports and then realising he was out. I'd be cracking open the good stuff and letting loose that fine day.

This for me is one reason why putting up with the safe option for 12 months might be the way we need to go, no fan including me is going to like it, but the 4th manager since Moyes really has to be well thought out.
None of this Silva, Howe or Dyche nonsense

With each passing game and the subsequent public blaming of players I'm convinced both he, and they, know that at 16:50 on May 13th he will not be the Everton manager. One player already alledgedly told him so in front of the entire group.

If they want Silva (and why wouldn't they still) then get him in today. If they want Fonseca then we limp on it seems. One thing for sure is that Allardyce is utterly out of his depth at the minute, he always was yesterdays man, a footballing dinosaur lauded by fans of teams in real peril and his many media mates. It was a shambolic appointment on day 1 and remains a shambolic appointment. A stain on our history.

Could you elaborate on who called the Fat Mess out mate, as I`d like to send him a message of support ?

Crystal Palace was the start of a sequence of 5 games which should have seen us safe and most likely up to seventh place, after yesterday I can't see us getting any more than 4 points from the next three games. I predict that will see us safe and will see Fat Sam and his cronies binned. Walsh will go at the end of the season.
I yearn for the days when we were considered the plucky also rans as opposed to being the dullest, dourest, draw monkeys in the premier league.

I thought we had an opportunity over Christmas to really pull clear when we played WBA and Bournemouth away. Both were in dire form and there for the taking and in both we were incredidby defensive ending up with 1 point (and we were extremely lucky to get that!). The mgmt of the players and approach to the games over that period was utterly bizarre.

Yup. That D of F appointment needs to be made ASAP. They have to be able to evaluate the state of affairs here and fix a LOT of problem starting with the coaching staff well BEFORE the transfer window opens in January.

Only a rumour but my money would be on Lookman.

I could imagine Lookman doing it hence Sam’s subsequent vitriol. Ina good south London quip of “I’m off to Germany, but at least I’ll be back next season!”
Or Sir Rooney in best scouse “Do you think I am planning to spend my last season playing for you, fat arse, and it wont be me the Board gets shut of in the summer!”
Thinking about it cheered me up a bit today.....

I think it`s a question of whittling down who has either been seemingly dropped for no apparent reason or as you say shipped out on loan, with Allardyce throwing a few snide digs in for good measure too.

Holgate or Lookman.

I'm sure someone said it was Vlasic mate (can't even remember if he can speak English) just can't see it myself though.

I hope he is our manager for the next 5 seasons and I fantasize about bathing in a gravy tub with him whilst he bums me senseless.

I actually think getting rid of Walsh is more important than getting rid of Big Sam. Hes messed up big time and lost us millions and millions of pounds. One thing Sam will do is keep us up and probably get top half. Its the step after that, he cant do. Bombing Walsh out should be Moshiri's number 1 priority now or at the very latest in the summer. When does Walsh's contract expire? Anyone know?
