Ridiculous behaviour.

Only Martin O'Neill should prompt you to support that Everton team in Chile, or Tranmere.

If only someone created an FC St. Domingo that we could all start following.....

PHWOAR...

Still fact though.

And before some melt says it's only Celtic he'd never get near that job, same as he shouldn't get near ours.

Still... he is technically right

This kind of sums up the malaise around EFC. Since we won something Leicester have won 3 trophies but we still laugh at the likes of O'Neill while shaking hands with a crook loser.

Just give Allardyce a six year deal please Everton.

Yet we all loved Joe Royles "Dogs of War".

 

[bluestevon]

The players loved big Sam. They really bought into his style and man-management. Players like Borini, suddenly decided to track back and fight for us (He was previously lazy & looked like he didn't have the passion in him for a relegation battle) Our entire team was well drilled, when we pressed, we pressed as a team and everyone was on the same page.

No, not too many issues with that mate. Obviously, I'm sure internally there were some players banging on Moyes door to see where they stand etc - but nothing major was leaked. Some of the players big Sam bought suddenly lost their passion & desire, Moyes couldn't motivate them like Sam.

I can only speak from a personal viewpoint and say Sam come in, improved morale, got 11 players prepared to fight tooth and nail for the points, improved our shape, got the crowd back and ultimately kept us up - Fact. When he left, everything he had worked so hard to bring in fell apart, hence going down. There's no way we'd go down under Sam.

If he can bring all of the above mentioned qualities to Everton, you'll probably be pleasantly surprised.

Seem to remember a major problem with Kone having been promised an increased contract by Allardyce if you stayed up mate, one the board knew absolutely nothing about ofc.

Also Khaboul arrived played one season very well under Allardyce, then soon as he left he got homesick - for errm London?

I'll meet you half way mate.

Yet we all loved Joe Royles "Dogs of War".

You do realise that the tag 'dogs of war' wasn't because we played agricultural football under Royle, it was a response to certain press criticism of our style and Royle ran with it around the time of the cup final when they where lauding the glorious play of the United side, if you'd ever seen the side under Royle playing - which included the likes of Speed, Limparr, Kanchelskis - you would realise how good that side could play on it's day.

YES it had a hard side to it, but what good side doesn't - especially back then

The Kone having been allegedly promised a new contract rumour was never really confirmed or denied. It would make sense, as he seemed to literally, overnight, lose form to such a degree he looked like he was going through the motions. It wouldn't surprise me if there a breakdown of communications between the manager and the board. But, it's just a rumour, none of it was really confirmed. Can't really blame Sam for that, as we don't know if there's any truth in it. What we do know, is when Sam left, Kone's form was horrifically shocking. Whether he was sulking, or just didn't want to play under Moyes - I don't know.

Yep, Kaboul decided to jump ship to Watford for 'personal' reasons. I think Sam rated him highly, he had a great partnership with Kone, so I'm sure Sam would have persuaded him to stay, but he wanted away, again, not much could have done If a player just want's away.

PHWOAR...

As a put down mate - it's a bit silly, he reached as many European finals as we have as a club in our history and won two cups we as a club have never managed to win and two more than we have managed as a club since our last one in 95'.

Thats without counting the Celtic stuff which obviously is of little significance in reality.

Slate O'Neill by all means - i can't stand him, but he's done more than Allardyce ever has or will as a manager

Saw most games in the Royle era, and saw a lot of us pumping it forward long to Big Dunc and Rideout.But then selective memory is easy.Joe is also a heavy lad,but never referred to as Fat Joe...maybe he gets a pass because he's "one of us".His record as a manager was about as stellar as Sam's before he was appointed,but again as an ex-player you can get away with a lot.
