Angus 'happily dissatisfied' Kinnear

That ‘happily dissatisfied’ quote is gonna haunt this fella till the day he leaves. I didn’t even think much of it on first read but with the context of Sunday’s result it was just such a silly thing to say.
Theres only one way he can redeem himself for this and that is to do the right thing next week immediately after the Spurs game.

He could spin that quote when removing Moyes by thanking him for the stability/lack of relegation worry - hence the "happily" bit - while feeling 14th and two early cup exits meant we had to look elsewhere (hence "dissatisfied").

What he can't spin is the bit about the club not being the type to sack managers. That was the egregious comment because it implied his satisfaction in Moyes's progress. Why else mention that?

Nah, we're stuck with this failing manager. He should have been replaced last summer as his job was done. There was some mitigation then for keeping him on, but none now. The decision to keep him tells you about their ambition. We need to accept our status as a sound investment and footballing also-ran.

Im kina clinging to the dreaded vote of confidence managers get a couple fo weeks before they are fired or removed from their duties.

It wont happen like but i can still hope and pray (And I'm not religious in the slightest) that it happens.

The reason why I wouldn't cling to that is that votes of confidence normally come before a series of important games. We have only one left. What's the worst that could happen? We lose to Spurs? So what. People have already priced in defeat. The damage is done. So it can't get much worse or more pressurised for Moyes and if Kinnear wasn't too bothered by our capitulation over the last month, he'll hardly be catatonic over a loss to Sunlun and Spurs.

Nah, the Manager for Life is here for the duration.
 
'Happily dissatisfied' is an absolute alltimer evertonism that he will never be able to shake for the rest of his time at the club.

Might as well just pack it in already and find another job as those two words will define him here.

It's "good times" level...it's "Magnificent 7th" level...it's "knife to a gunfight" level.

Kinnear just elevated himself into the pantheon of Idiot Everton Gods....his gormless face can be chiselled onto Everton's Mount Rushmore of failures.

Yeah my thoughts exactly. Genuinely almost impressive how faithfully it follows the spirit of the Kenwright classics.

Was always going to be the problem bringing Moyes back here. Despite all the change at the club it's as if old Bill never left. People back in the day made a lot about Moyes being held back by the limitations of the club at the time but clearly it's the culture he seeks to create.

New owners
Old manager from almost 25 years ago.
 
Dear Angus

We are happily dissatisfied. Get your coat and do one. We have suffered 30 years of that sugar coating nonsensical lip service.

Good times and all that.

Had enough of these useless beauts. :lol:
I have to say I’m quite impressed that it’s already made into the pantheon of legendary sounds bites from Bullsh1tting board execs, along such beauties as ‘good times’, ‘money’s ring fenced’ and ‘safety certificate’.

Only been here a year as well. Very impressed.
