I don’t want to see him playing anymore and that’s even if he manages to be fit enough to play. Even on reduced terms his contract will still be more than what he would of got as a coach and even in our situation with limited numbers it’s a poor...

Shameless Coleman...

He should be embarrassed signing a new playing contract knowing that he's incapable of playing at this level anymore. He shouldn't have signed the last one.

Not his fault at all - I'm not making that "bonkers argument." I'm saying he's not remotely worthy of the pedestal too many are erecting for him.

I've seen Coleman as much as anybody. After all, he has spent the last 15 years playing for my two teams: Everton and Ireland. For about six years, he was a massive asset for both. After his terrible injury against Wales, he was a shadow of his...

I get all that - I just don't get the glorification of somebody who has won less than David Unsworth at the club. I mean, he has no answer when somebody challenges him to put his medals on the table. I'm sure he's a lovely fella and even I would...

I love Everton - so much so that it pains me to see so many of our fans fail to differentiate between mediocrity and quality. The reason we are now a footnote in the English game is because we have celebrated footnotes like Coleman. He was an...

Howard wasn't surrounded by elite players when he was player-manager. And when he was surrounded by elite players, it was because he was an elite player himself. Coleman is a mediocrity in our history.

Howard was a title-winning, cup-winning legend. His "experience" around the place was elite in its nature, conveying what it was like to be the best. Seamus, God love him, is just a reminder of grim, plucky days when finishing seventh was a...

RALLYING CRIES AFTER DEBILITATING DEFEATS 247

Squad filler hopefully. Nothing against Seamus. We need to get a RB signing over the line. And I repeat. Hopefully Moyes actually takes a look at Dixon in the off-season. Dyche inexplicably punted him out of the team after a solid performance...

To be fair, with the amount of change around the club it's important to keep players with league title-winning, cup-winning, Champions League rallying cry experience around.

He'd have left in 2017 if that were the case...

I don't hate it. He's an icon for us and should leave when he's ready. He doesn't come across as the sort of man to stay beyond his use.
