For spending 200+ million? wanting to be better?

For throwing away 200+m by employing the wrong people.

The most consistent Everton manager ever, 100% win record

Hmm, I wouldn't have minded keeping him tbh, he done alright as a prem manager, I mean having a former prem manager as a coach is fairly good going, but it was obvious all of allardyce's men would follow him, undoubtedly for the best.

At least it frees up another seat for an Everton fan in the main stand.

hate to be a corrector but it's "hoist with one's own petard"...a petard was a small bomb used for blowing up gates and walls when breaching fortifications (dating back to 1500s) and to be hoist with it implies being blown into the air with your own bomb. More generally it's an expression denoting being injured by the device that you intended to use to injure others.

But your allusion (via this thread's title) to Shakespeare's 'inventing' the phrase is noted. He used it in Hamlet (1602) :

"For tis the sport to have the enginer Hoist with his owne petar".

Note: engineers were originally constructors of military engines.

I was a smart arse,I should know not to quote Shakespeare, when not knowing the full meaning, thank-you for the correction. Interesting Stuff.

He’s probably made a mint this season never have to work again, get sacked at Leicsteir get a couple of years of your contract paid, get sacked at Everton get a couple of years of your contract paid.

Koff you backstabber. Hopefuly we’d never have to be associated with those type of frauds again.

Go and coach players at Morecambe.

Good luck trying to blag your way into another club on the back of a dinosaur where you get paid to sit in the stands trying to look like you know what you are doing wearing an ear piece and bringing nothing of value to the club whatsoever.
