Wow, are you like GOT's very own 'life coach'?

Yes, how can i help you today Tim?

What has Romelu Lukaku got to do with KFC?

I’ll tell you...

Diddly squat.

Hi Tommye lad.

Shame you got banned and had to come back under a new user name.

Better watch those insinuations or else I reckon you will be getting banned again sometime soon.

Take care you little maggot

Brave of you to have a pop at him when he’s already banned and can’t read this.

You utter cowardly mess.

Rather unsavoury behaviour. Any more of this and i will report it.

I stand by my original post in this thread.

I think I remember reading a story than when Iain Durrant arrived from rangers Walker asked him what position he played LOL

I was also 14 at the time and buzzing we got him after his Norwich exploits. Thought he was our ticket back to the mid 80s promised land. Probably my first out of what turned out to be many woeful Everton misjudgments

Good question mind you. Did we ever find out where he played?

I met him once and he seemed like a genuinely nice bloke.

I met him in a restaurant in Cyprus. One of our party mentioned there was a fan of one his team's in our group:-
'Oh yeah, which one'
I replied Everton.
'You should buy me a drink then'
I replied 'after your performance you should be buying me a few'

Never spoke to us for the rest of the night. Not sure if he was a nice guy or not, I just know he was an awful manager.

 

[Neiler]

Still gutted he never signed Uwe Rosler.

There have been many WTF moments though the years but Walker is probably the low point. It may not be entirely fair, but our alleged pursuit of Silva a few weeks back had echoes for me, the fact he never worked in the game (to the best of my knowledge) after his stint with us suggests he was utterly clueless and that the cat was out the bag after the EFC debacle.

Ha ha ha lol.

His disappearance does indicate that, but how do you explain his performance with Norwich? Total mystery that I don't think anyone has the answer to. Walker's appointment was reasonable at the time - don't recall anyone turning cartwheels but it wasn't like we'd appointed Paul Ince or someone like that, it was seen as a pretty bold pick of a promising manager that might or might not work out.

Once he was in the dugout it was like an imposter had taken the reins. You hear the term competition winner bandied about for players like Niasse, but they're nowhere near the levels of ineptitude that Walker displayed. It was like we were being managed by Mick from the Coach and Horses, surreal how far out of his depth he was.

Big Nevs autobiography makes for interesting reading on the topic. Nev paints a picture of a manager trying to play a style poorly suited to the league/ squad of players. He was also considered a cocky, lazy flash git who didn't get the 'work ethos' of the club and senior players. Essentially he commanded little respect in the dressing room.

14 years old that season, remember 13k on a Sat 3pm kickoff against Southampton.

Walker had took Norwich to Bayern Munich and beat them, i expected him ( wrongly ) to do the same for us.

You weren't alone. Many did think he was a great appointment. The way Norwich played at Bayern fooled everyone...they also put up a good showing against Inter (Bergkamp and co.). The season prior to these European ties they were genuine title challengers. In hindsight he must have just got incredibly lucky with Norwich with a very good group of players.

Did he play?
