Irvine has departed to Preston

[BlackToffee]

Just seen it on the official site that Alan Irvine has left for Preston on a 3 1/2 year contract. I for one wish him nothing but the best. Thanks Alan.

Well I hope we can get someone in of the same calibre. Don't underestimate his part in Moyes's success. He has done so much for this club, and his coaching ability is undeniable.

I think this is a major loss.

 

[TX Bill]

Agreed. Good for Irvine but not so great for us.

I'll be curious to see who Moyes brings in or promotes from within.

Must be a little gutting for him. The new training ground is just in, the team is in europe and all their hard work is begining to show on the field

Good luck to Alan, I really hope he does well.

Im sure Moyes will find a suitable replacement, the promotion of Colin Harvey to first team coach in the early 80s was a major catalyst in our success.

I hope he goes for someone young and hungry for it.

Can we throw in Hibbert as part of the deal?

 

[uknightbreed]

Agreed. Good for Irvine but not so great for us.

stubbs or carsley on an apprenticeship ? or ex toffees - nigel martyn or big dunc ?


i doubt it but it would be interesting to say the least.

Time will tell but it needs to be someone who has the coaching quals. Jose Mourinho.

Hello everybody, new to the site, post on another Everton forum, fancied a change.

Surely it wont be Sammy Lee :huh: Good coach, but a die hard scrotum.

 

[Bruce Wayne]

Good luck to Irvine. It will be interesting to see who Moyes brings in.

 

[Dylan]

Welcome mate

I dont think Sammy Lee would be a widely welcomed appointment!

Brian Kidd ? He was mentioned on the radio as a replacement. Please no.
