2024/25 Seamus Coleman


I dont think hes being offered a contract with him playing anything other than some spare minutes in mind.

I think its very clear they want a leader in the locker room, someone deeply respected to lay into the squad when the first half has been awful. The moment you become a manager and stop living and training daily with the squad the dynamic changes and you cant do that. I suspect he will be a player in name, assistant manager in function, and wont play much this coming season barring injury disasters.
 
A very expensive cheerleader.
We dont know what he's been offered in cash terms.

Look at it this way: every player we have always says how Coleman is crucial to their well-being at the club and team cohesion. There's coaches employed by Everton who do a less important job than that and are paid a decent salary I'd expect. It's money well spent if he's fulfilling that role at the club AND making himself available as a squad player.

Spot on mate.

I've loved Seamus being at the club and been our best right back since Gary Stevens.
Wonderful servant who refused to jump ship years ago so has my total respect.

But right now his playing days are finished.

I have no problem with Seamus being kept on as part of the back room ( or as you put it a cone layer ) , but should be nowhere near the first team squad.

I think @PeregrineT makes a good point above that in order to get anything from Coleman as a leader he has to be part of the squad not one of the coaching team / management.

That rings true to me.

And I do think he can get on the bench still and put a game or two together for us. This has to be the final season for that though, and that's assuming he will be here next season.
 

Seems to me Moyes wants him around chiefly for his impact in the dressing room.

Everyone always speaks so highly of him. He's well liked, well respected and knows what Everton means.

What that's worth - both in terms of salary and a place in the squad - is really the central question.

I don't think Seamus ever had an agent so I can't see it being prohibitive, even if he is primarily the senior figure in the dressingroom and a bit part squad member.

He should actually play in the PL2 side, if fit would be a great example for the young lads.
 
David Moyes considers him [Seamus Coleman] crucial to the dressing room along with senior midfielder Idrissa Gana Gueye.

"Seamus will stay next season," Moyes had said recently.

"Without doubt, Seamus will be part of the group. I need him here. His leadership, his sort of message he has among the players and in the dressing room is so strong it would be wrong of me to let him go."

David Moyes should be the leader in the dressing room - if shamus wants a coaching job pay him that wage!
