Good old Everton would never make that same mistake twiceNice fella, awful premier league Manager would be my summation.
You would have thought the relegation under his belt would have been a bit of a red flag but not for Kenwright and co and then low and behold 18 months later he took us down to 3rd from bottom mostly due to his arrogant refusal to ever change and adapt.
So yeah nice guy but nothing he says now about Everton is of any value imo.
Totally agree, been out of work for 18 months. Surprised he didn't make more of the United 4-0. Hope he gets a job and does well. He had a good go, it didn't work out. Good luck to him. I hope he is better for the experience of managing the club.Slightly confused by the fact that some people to think a bloke still looking to make a career as a manager should come out and publicly say 'I am a rubbish manager and it was 100% my fault that I failed and got sacked.'
He always seemed a decent sort and I felt for him last summer when he clearly didn't get anything like the squad he wanted, but at the end of the day he didn't get the results and it was the right move to sack him.
He clearly has very different memories of his first season then I do. What he describes as "obviously very good" I would describe as mostly garbage and borderline sackable form until around March when we had a little purple patch (with some admittedly good results against Chelsea, Arsenal and Man Utd) that turned an utterly shambolic season into just another mediocre one.
Was a nice enough feller if a little bland, just completely out of his depth. Was strange how badly moshi wanted him
