Daily Mail: Everton line up The Wally with the Brolly

[blue61]

For the Record,and we know this story is a load of crap,but why is a very good/brilliant/excellent boss etc never linked with Everton,when these type of stories come up

I believe Brian Clough was heavily linked during his prime in the 70's.

John Aldridge was on radio city........ Nope, I seriously can't expand on this popcorn of a story.

Well played daily mail.

When you said McClaren had done well unlike Martinez there was obviously a clear reference to our poor form this season and Wigan's relegation. Needed pointing out the things he has done well.

so who has the better record all things considered?

 

[ianefc]

That's not rewriting history, that's just excluding the negative things you want to focus on.

Yes, we've had a terrible first half of the season.

But we've been here before - where would Everton be if they'd sacked Moyes in May 2004, or in December 2005, or in October 2008?

As for Wigan's relegation, nobody harped on about Joe Royle getting Oldham relegated (after keeping them up for years like Martinez did with Wigan) in May 1994 & getting the Everton job 5 months later.

Royle didn't get the job because of the job he did at Oldham though, he got the job because of his connections with this club and he is still pound for pound our best manager of the past 25 years

Haha .. It's funny this but Mclaren has a better CV than Martinez. Built a boro side and took them onto a carling cup final and uefa cup final and didn't do too bad at Twente. Obviously wouldn't be the replacement but it's funny when you think how he won a trophy, got to a european final and won a league abroad haha.. Crazy.

Him and Revie, Clough supposed to have knocked it back as he wanted total control of all football matters, whiich the board woulnt give him, went as far as going to goodison to discuss it.
True story about mclaren when we were beating boro at goodison he was down below watching a race he had a horse in, while the game was going on, my mate was on security and the minge wouldnt even give him the tip. it lost by the way so its a no from me.

Another Daily Fail.

 

[Ashtonian]

wow. We are sacking martinez.

its like we just didn't have a manager for 11 years no matter how well we were doing.

 

[AndyC]

Since he was crucified as the England manager - he got the job far too early - with the brolly, McLaren has recovered well. Was successful in Holland with an unfashionable club and appears to be doing good things with Derby. I don't think there is any genuine mileage in this story, but as someone else noted... we could do worse.

And Bobby Robson was offered the job and nearly took it.

 

[toffee matt]

Don't let the door hit your arse on the way out bobby

 

[AndyC]

And Bobby Robson was offered the job and nearly took it.

As was Andy Gray ?

 

[The Equaliser]

As was Andy Gray ?

Yes in 1998. Think Robson was offered it about 20 years previously though.
