EFC Managers

[ToffeeMike]

Don't know which was better, the Catterick era or the Kendall era?

Average league position doesn't mean a lot to me to be honest.

Lee 10th - H 3rd L 19th
Kendal(mk 1) 4th - H 1st L 8th

Kendal(mk 3) 17th (one season)
Smith 15th - H13th L 16th
Moyes 7th - H 4th L 17th

Have not counted interim managers

just shows how good a job Moyes has done with the squad he inherited big reason why I dont want him to leave.

fancy a job in my garden candy thighs?

I'm not sure whether Kendall's Everton would have won the European Cup but I reckon they would have had a decent chance

Blasphemy.

And it was a partial lift on the ban in 90/91, so Utd and Villa were allowed in; all the remaining places were re-instated 5 years later.

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

That is unfair on Joe.

The season he finished 15th he never got the job until October/November and we were already bottom of the league.....he had a mountain to climb and a 15th finish was beyond our hopes at the stage he came in.

I'd love to see a PL table based as if the season started the day of Joe's first game in 94/95. I'd say we'd be well up it.

Finished 15th the season he left as well

The school of science it is then, would love to see the players of that era now.

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

Wasn't it Harvey who sold all the players? If it wasn't for Royle, we'd be in a completely different position now.

Catterick was a proper old school manager and a damn fine one at that, produced two great teams and brought joy to Evertonians. Kendall was one of Harry's finest signings and brought a fair bit of the Catterick style to his teams and the way he managed....

I find this interesting.

My nan always said she preferred Catterick to Bingham, in person at least.

As for performances, I think Joe Royle is rightly praised as much as he is. Don't forget, when he took over on late '94 we were rock bottom of a 22 team league and 4 teams, not 3, went down. He rescued that team and won a cup. The following season finished 6th, missing out on 5th by a single Arsenal goal. We'll never know how a longer spell for him would have gone but it was looking decent until his falling out with the chairman at the time.

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

Relentless! Brilliant to see how up for it the players were at 2-0 to get the third goal.
