EFC Managers

[dholliday]

We would have got relegated the season Harvey went if he'd have stayed on. We were utter ****e, mostly due to Cottee being completely inconsistent if i remember correctly

Cottee was very consistent for us. Always getting double-figures in every one of his 6 seasons.

In terms of the margin of improvement in results - statistically:

1 Joe Royle (following Walker) +22%
2 Kendall Mk 1 +11%
3 David Moyes +9%
4 Harry Catterick +9%
5 Johnny Carey +7%

In terms of % success (a win = 100% a draw 50%)

1 Kendall Mk 1 65.7%
2 Catterick 59.7%
3 Harvey 57.4%
4 Moyes 55.5%
5 Royle 55.1%

Kendall's 3 managerial reigns 59.5% just behind Catterick

Moar brilliant stats! Interesting how a different shade of stat-attack can change perspective.

two great sides a great Captain in Labby - I was only a young Kid when Vernon & Young were in there pomp - I was fortunate to see the holy trinity home & away as a very young teenager thanks to my older brother & late father taking me most weeks.HC blended youth with expensive players - Alan Ball has to be the best classy workhorse Mr perpetual motion goal scoring midfielder I have ever seen! I saw the Golden Vision on his day he was sublime too - to go to an away ground & the home fans clap your team off in a display of football we could only now dream of will stick in my memories for ever!

Wish I could have seen Catterick's team in person

1969 best Everton team ever

For a period of time , watching the Joe Royle era was great. It was proper football. 2 out and out wingers, 2 hard men in the middle and a battering number 9. It might have lacked some of the finesse that we see today, but when that team clicked it was a joy to behold. I remember us destroying Notts Forest in the second half of one game...liquid football
