Remember when he was brought in as manager of Everton??? The excitement after seeing his Norwich team challenge for the league.
I always remember some woman on BBC news saying " He will awaken the sleeping giant of Everton " I can only assume this women was banished from the galaxy for being so wrong.
We expected great things from the Walker appointment and it never happened. It took us close to the edge but brought about the appointment of Royle and our last trophy.
So today, we will likely be appointing Big Sam in a cloud of disapproval from quite a few fans who are expecting the worst before he has been given a chance. Think back to Walker and the high hope we had, it never worked out. This appointment might work, it might not. Before Sam is here we are Everton, and after he is long gone we will still be Everton.
This is a wake up call for some fans who expected immediate sucess 18 months ago when Moshiri came in. They ran amok on social media " Billionaires lad " and thought we would act like Chelsea/Man City and buy immediate success.
We started off by acting like Chelsea fans saying random players should throw transfer requests in to join us. Acted like City fans because we now had money we could do what we want and look down at other clubs and see them as inferior.
This instant gratification of demeaning other clubs has turned us into acting like Geordies and becoming deluded in the standings of the current game. We are not what some of you people think, you need to pull that head out of the sand and wake up.
Todays appointment and how we are acting will be the completion of the transformation to being full Geordie.
Don't look at it as the worst thing ever, but see it as a turning point in Everton and your own persona. We can blame Kenwright, Moshiri and Koeman but if you want to blame someone take a look in the mirror and make that change.
