As the man who should have applied for the head of customer services instead! He would have been a legend! One thing the club has improved immeasurably in is our treatment of worthy causes! Maybe not all doen to him, but certainly wholeheartedly supported by him?
 

For raising the club's expectations despite lowering its actual level.

3 years ago Moyes left - people were shouting for no-mark managers to keep us in the upper midtable region, players on the level of Lukaku were well out of reach. Now people are clamoring for players like Lacazette and Yarmolenko, managers like Pellegrini and Mourinho so we can consistently push for a CL spot.

I say that cause he said and did all the right things when he got appointed. Brought Kendal and Dunc back into the club, spun us tales of where he wanted us to be and backed it up somewhat with results. Was the medias darling he was everywhere that first season on radio/tv had most of us eating out of his hand. Getting consistent results has been his major deficiency and spouting his inane positivity only heightened the poor results. If he got results no one would care what he was saying.

Well that's about a third of his tenure here. The rest of the time he's been talking nonsense and spouting greatness while underachieving. He took over a great defensive side, added some attacking threats and things seemed great.

However, he quickly removed the defensive identity and workrate of the team and subbed this for tika-taka and lasy stand-off defending. It was looking so well the first 12 months, but he threw away the perfect balance he'd found.
 

As someone cursed with WAY too much self-belief.

Confidence is ace....until it becomes destructive.

And it has.

But overwhelmingly - and like a twitch - as soon as I hear/read his name I think 'Phenomenal'...it's like a switch goes off in the head.

So yeah...thanks for that BOB.

It was not a great defensive side. Why do people keep saying this?

Then, just like now, they always let you down when it mattered most. Always.

As the title suggests, as I believe he is in the the last 36 hours of his Everton career
how will he be remembered ?

I think nice bloke, but out of his depth on all levels, cracked under pressure towards the end.

Simply a fraud. It will largely depend on where he goes next. I suspect he will looking at jobs at the bottom of the prem, top of the championship (Unless he moves abroad) - If he fails with his next team and they have the same vulnerabilities and characteristics as Wigan / Everton in defence... he wont be managing past his 50th birthday
