Didn't Joe grow up across the road from Goodison.

Will always wonder what could have been with Joe leading us. Could have been the start of something great.

A class act. Everton personified.

He was supposed to be in the frame when we appointed HK2 and possibly when we went for Mike Walker. If only . . . . . .

Feared the worst when I saw this thread. Great player from the Glory days and a decent manager

Not sure to be honest, obviously he rescued us and gave us the FA Cup but subsequently with good players added like Kanchelskis and Speed he underachieved

He kept dropping Limpar

Very small time frame to assess if he underachieved, and lots going on behind the scenes. If he'd been given the time Moyes had I think we'd have something special.

The last Everton manager who believed we could compete with the best. "When I was with Oldham, playing United in the Cup was David versus Goliath. Now, at Everton, it's Goliath versus Goliath."

He knew our place, alright. At the top table.

He also spent big on Barmby who was a cracking player. I think ultimately his style of football wasn't going to work at the very highest level. Also he didn't exactly tear up any trees after leaving us
