13 Reasons Why.. I want Sam as our manager

[LEONARD]

 

[Caolam]

1. It might lead to us adopting a novel concept called ‘defending.’
2. It’ll let Unsworth go back to doing what he does well.
3. The drama queens of the club will be out pronto.
4. It gives us a cat in hells chance of staying in the premier league.
5. It might stop the sickening love in on Everton social media about ‘our’ boys.
6. We will sign a striker. He won’t be a technically gifted lad but he will score goals.
7. It makes the super fans who get a semi on watching Portuguese football sad.
8. It will be nice to have a manager that was aware of our existence last time we won something.
9. Might bin off the dross.
10. Experienced international manager.
11. No more John Ebbrell on the bench.
12. Has no ambitions of managing Barcelona.
13. Can dance better than Martinez.

What are yours?

"Experienced international manager"

You forgot "Knows how to hustle"

 

[Gwlacticos]

Yeah. But he won it.

I thought you would be taking the possible appointment of Fat Sam worse than anyone mate.

1. Doesn't play longball all the time as people suggest. Played with width at Palace with zaha and puncheon, through balls for defoe at sunderland, varied at Bolton with Davies, Anelka. Can play long ball - which isn't against any rules.
2. Isn't corrupt - yes, greedy, but not corrupt. Never broken (or proven to have) any rules or laws.
3. Players always buy into his tactics
4. Players never reported to have fallen out with him
5. 39% win ratio - at Sunderland, Palace, Newcastle, West Ham is actually very good considering they were all relegation candidates
6. Has always accomplished what he was asked to do. Promote Bolton. Maintain and then improve Bolton. Compete at top end of league with Bolton. Sunderland, Palace - survive. West Ham, promote, maintain, improve.
7. More semis and finals appearances then all PL managers but jose, pep, klopp, Rafael and wenger.
8. Doesn't give a f*** about anyone else
9. We're not getting an elite Jose, Simeone etc. Of the next level of manager, he isn't far off the top of that list.
10. He boils everyones piss. Everyone loves a snide in their team that everyone hates, so why not a manager.
11. Can spot a player
12. Much more modern approach than people realise - he's into his analytics etc like Moyes was, rather than "just facking run"
13. Can f****** defend!

I thought you said he wasn't corrupt.

 

[ClausThomsen]

The long ball accusation is pretty much baseless. He has no intention of playing pretty football in the defensive half of the pitch but does give his teams plenty of leeway in the attacking phase of the game.

It was only just over 10 years ago he had Bolton sniffing around Champions League football and left the club because the board refused to sanction signings that could have seen them there - look at Bolton now.

His time at Newcastle was actually pretty decent and it was only the availabiity of Keegan and the mass Geordie delusion that led to his sacking.

Blackburn were actually worse than we currently are and in a more desperate situation when he took over from Paul Ince and kept them up. Next season saw them selling anyone decent and giving him much less to spend and he still steered them to tenth. Then the Venky family saw what Steve Kean brought to the table and decided to get shut of Big Sam - look how that went.

Brand new Championship buddies West Ham were next and after taking them up at the first attempt, consolidating their Premier League position and getting them playing better and more successful football than they had for years it still wasn't enough for those loveable National Front enthusiaists with plenty of protests leading to the mutual decision was took for him to walk away. They seem to have done so much better since.

A very impressive Sunderland rescue job came next and such was his ability in the January transfer window that the following summer a certain Liverpool based club were clearly interested in throwing a lot of money at Sunderland for one of those January purchases.

Then there was England were he talked about loopholes and then slagged off Gary Neville, Roy Hodgson and HM Revenue and Customs. The ultimate result was some skirting around the possible corruption and malpractice within a multi-billion pound business. It really is quite awful and certainly nothing a Premier League club should have anything to do with - Anyone see Panorama the other week?

And finally Palace which was a fairly standard Allardyce rescue mission. Aimless and stuttering without a win in 9 games and he eventually turned them around and got them to safety. It was a fairly poor start but once things started clicking they put a couple of good runs together and did enough to survive quite comfortably despite some hiccups.

Wouldn't be my first choice and I kind of hope that Mosh throws a curveball tomorrow or this evening but some of the vitriol being hurled is down to a reputation that has a lot more to do with myth than fact and I'm hoping that if Allardyce comes in there'll be a lot of vaulting to come here on GOT at the end of the season.

I drank the kool aid.

 

[gorgeousgeorgeEFC]

It's true that having a former England manager like Allardyce in charge might enhance our profile overseas, but I just want Allardyce in charge because he's a specialist at keeping crisis clubs like ours in the Premier League.

Simple as that.

 

[dead_soft]

Now when we lose I’m gutted because Everton have lost and feel sorry for Unsworth.
If he takes over, I’ll be gutted because everton have lost and overjoyed because Allardyce has. Every cloud

Excellent analysis.

Big Sam isn't Simeone but he's also not Dyche.

[tim cahill]

He’s a better manager than most give him credit for. The attitude towards him on here is weird. Does anyone seriously think he won’t improve us?

 

[Prevenger17]

He'll get us fit.



I'm trying to think of the positives here

 

[Brisan123]

Like I said, I don't want to think about where it came from.

And the bleach us really hurting my eyes.

Put sawdust on your eyes
It neutralises the bleach

 

[chrismpw]

Put sawdust on your eyes
It neutralises the bleach

This is downright dangerous advice. Encouraging people to use a saw while they're already blinded by bleach!

Sake

 

[BlueToff]

We won't win a game until Boxing Day.

We'll then go unbeaten for about three months.

We'll finish 12th.
