Joe Royle.

[Bluepablo]

A lad on TEF was saying Royle was very much Bills man & was very very heavily involved in picking the team with Unsworth so he may feel he had lost authority when Unsworth wasn't appointed.

Ebbrell back to the U23s with Rhino, Jeffers back to U18s.

Not very far, but will have to do.

 

[ToffeeTim]

Have nothing but respect for the man and I doubt there's anything untoward going on here.

Hope he enjoys his well deserved retirement and he will always be welcome.

He got involved when we didn’t have a management team... now we’ve got a management team... he’s also retirement age and is probably due a cracking rest with some good money in the bag and his legendary status well and truly banked forever at Goodison.
His management is responsible for my first happy Everton memories too!

Cheers for everything Joe!

He’s defo gone I know that, that was as of the Wednesday I think as well.

Sadly it was the season after the cup win that I went to my first game! What a player Kanchelskis was though!

Still makes me smile when I think about Amo sneaking past him and bringing himself on.

Didn't work out too bad in the end I suppose.....

 

[toffeejack]

Presume he was only brought in to that error temporarily to help unsworth

 

[tim cahill]

He’s 68. Maybe he just thought it was the right time to retire? It doesn’t mean there is any trouble behind the scenes at all.

Joe royal out and Sammy Lee in.

Top man, top player, top manager, top Evertonian.

One sentence
Tell me what the vomit inducing title ‘the people’s club’ means
I reckon it means losers club

We've won sweet FA in over 2 decades. Maybe its about time the old Everton stepped aside? I only hope a fair few others on the gravy train are moved on as well.

I find this very distasteful if Joe Royle has felt the need to resign due this new management team being put in place.
Cant see what is amicable in all this either.
Big Joe is worth 10 of each of these new regime.
Really sad its come to this...nice one Everton.

How do you work out he's worth 10 of the new regime ???? Other than being one of the best number 9's to have played for us, what has he achieved ?????
If he doesn't feel comfortable with those around him now then perhaps he needed to resign.....Typical blue tinted glasses reaction.
Time to move on....and stop living on past glories !!!!
