New Everton Manager

[Jim Hopper]

the facts are he took over a dreadful side, and then at season end further weakened it by selling players from the squad, which he then replaced with other players from the money generated. He was given no new money to spend.

Didnt realise he inherited a Steve McLaren squad with 2 months of football left to play, poor fella no wonder he couldn’t keep them up lol

Once again, that's not what I just said. I said "take out the 'the players are unlikable, what about what I said was not a fact?". Because I said they shirked responsibility on the pitch and bottled it at every single opportunity for years. Don't act as if you can't understand what I'm saying.

I understand exactly what your saying but I think you may be a little bit spesh so I'll leave it there, go do some colouring in.

How about Amanda Holden, Sky Stallone or that WWE wrestler who claims to support us have we checked their views on the matter to help us make up our minds? He's just another fan, you might as well quote @ForeverBlue92 or @Papa Shango 's views about it.

I do think he's an excellent manager, and I don't want the whole chance we have to improve to be spoilt on day one cos of what happened 20 years ago

You know for most people it's about more than "what happened 20 years ago", you choose to beat that drum because it's harder to argue against all the other points presented. You've got what you wanted, you should be happy, berating everyone who doesn't agree with you is a weird way of celebrating.

exactly, morale will have been rock bottom after two years of Super Shteve.

That turned out to be true tbf.

Yes, because that's how every football club has done things for the past decade

I'm not berating anyone. I'm trying to point out the good aspects. If Nuno had been appointed I'd be on here now whingeing with the best of them, I get that people need to vent.

I wasn't having a go, just saying that's football isn't it. Getting hung up on 'meaningless words' is no better or worse than getting hung up on whether someone kicks the ball into the net or not. The whole concept is mad if you look at it rationally, but being a football fan isn't really about being rational, that's kind of the point.

I agree with your sentiment. But to respond to the emboldened sentence, I'd be just as perplexed by someone being hung up on someone missing an open goal in a derby match 15 years ago.

I was wound up by his comments for a day or two. But in hindsight, I soon saw it was exactly the sort of thing I'd expect an annoyed manager to say about the opposition in the afterglow of a derby match.

I feel I should also say that I'm far from pleased he's going to be our manager, in large part because of his Liverpool associations. But that comment doesn't bother me at all.

Didn't he take over with them outside the relegation zone, few points clear, and a game in hand?

Then let them rather than jumping in quoting their posts and acting like a recent Chinese league manager is prime SAF.

 

[Jebus_lives]

Probably not but in all honesty would you listen to Kenwright & Brands?

One nearly had us in financial oblivion and the other has wasted over £260 million in 3 years on largely average run of the mill players.

Well ones just been given a new contract...

 

[kenada_blue]

My Toon mate reckons he will be brilliant for EFC. Although I understand the animosity is more about his RS connections and comments about you rather than his ability.

Barcodes adore him

 

[allezlesbleus]

Hated every second and turned the air blue throughout their tenure!!!!!! Death by poison or death by hanging, all just horrible choices between things I don’t want!!!

Did you support the dream team of big Sam and Sammy Lee. Surely Sammy Lee is worse? I'm beyond caring personally

He could knock all of them out.

Because he wound up Mike Ashley, ask them if they enjoyed his brand of football.
