Anyone read Duncs book yet?

[evertony]

I find it weird that people's biggest complaint about his autobiography is that he talks about himself a lot , the clue's in the genre

Theres lots of self-praise, self-indulgence and virtually no self-reflection on things he might have done better....needed to be a lot more balanced.

I imagine he was operating much in the same way a NED would in a company.....effectively keeping an objective eye over the proceedings, asking the members and the candidate pertinent questions to allow themselves a better understanding.

I was talking about the Australian in the room, Tim....not the big Scottish galoot

Yeah except he wasn’t a Ned was he , sharpy was .

I just find it odd that someone with no connection to the club , other than he’d been a player there 12 years before , is in an interview for the manager .

I’ve said a few times , if he’s got a job within the club then it’d make total Sense but he didn’t . Do we think gerrard would go into the interview for slot ?

To me it feels fairly illustrative of where the club was .

Not the best analogy that Harry....Gerrard probably organised the interview, selected Slot to be the only interviewee and then made the decision.
Understand your point though.

Yep for sure, but you don't find many elite sportsmen with those qualities.

What I meant is I don’t think successful football clubs have randomers sat in interviews, however good they were playing for the club .

If Ferguson is in the interview to replace Moyes I’ll think it’s equally ridiculous.

I imagine Duncan will believe he's entitled to be in there

Nerve of him having a go at a real Everton player like Cahill.

Cahills off the field antics leave a lot to be desired, cozying up with oil regimes and agents trying to ruin our club. No questioning his ability desire and commitment on the field, a far better player on every sense than Dunc, but not a great human.

I'd still have him over the fraud with the book to sell.

Listening to it on Spotify premium. Only just started it to be fair. Narrated by the man himself.

It will interest him. Probably the first time he has read it.

Went and saw him at Whitley bay last night. It’s a cracking evening, he has so many stories.

He did make a comment about when the ‘Russians’ owned us but quickly caught himself and changed it to ‘the Iranian, Moshiri’

Some people have more money than sense though. One lad in the audience had already paid for meet and greet, but then paid £400 for a shirt for him to sign and get a photo (he had brought a Newc shirt with him to sign and already had a photo in the meet and greet). Then paid £1500 for a shearer signed shirt and a dan burn signed carabao cup shirt.

Most of them made up.
