Pretty sure that was the rumour as to why he wasn't selected by Martinez in 2015 mate.Someone on this forum said that Garbutt was off to the RS come the summer so maybe that’s why he’s not getting a look in
Well it was only mentioned in the last couple of days , and they did say this summerPretty sure that was the rumour as to why he wasn't selected by Martinez in 2015 mate.
Sam was far from universally welcomed when he first came.
It was never going to be the calibre of his football that endeared him to the fans.
He needed to get results and he needed to get the team playing for him.
The results did come initially and that certainly gave him breathing space but a series of awful performances allied to some awful results has more than wiped away any brownie points he had built up.
He has also been somewhat poor in how he has dealt with the fans and the media. Trying to downplay the level of expectation of Everton fans was never going to work. The comparision with Newcastle and West Ham was not only incorrect but foolish and lost him even more credibility.
Sam was always regarded as a manager that could organise a team defensively , if nothing else, and he has failed miserably at that so far.
Sam was a manager that previously was able to get the Alamo spirit with his players where they overperformed for their manager and here again he has failed miserably.
We are depending on home results against poorer teams to limp over the line to safety and that was never the expectation . Sam was even talking about looking up the table after the initial series of good results but that has also disappeared even from Sams rhetoric at this point.
I think that even Sam has possibly realised that he should never have come back out of retirement. I think he possibly surrounded himself with people like Sammy Lee and Craig Shakespeare to help cover the enthusiasm that once had but seems to have lost.
Sam is a dead man walking in terms of being Everton manager going forward and I believe that next Saturday will determine how long he will stay. At home to Brighton is one of the games earmarked to get us the points to safety. If we get a win I think the board will let him there until the end and have his replacement ready to start immediately. A loss will , I believe, see the end of Sam as the board will have to act.
