Didn't seem that positive about us while a pundit on our Euro games

He likes a good moan ! Can't see him lasting.

The bloke was a great footballer but his media work paints him somewhat of an idiot. Not that I buy the Echo anyway.

Considering his efforts when commentating it will be interesting to finally see how he thinks 'Jagielka' is spelled.

"Everton will not be able to turn down £30m for John Stones." - Kevin Ratcliffe, July 2015.

Terrible decision by the Echo.

I'm expecting Dave Moyles, Phil Jajelka, Brendan Galway and Gerard Deufolio.

Kendall had insight.

Ratcliffe doesn't even know how the club currently works.

He comes across so negative about the club - maybe his nose has been put out of joint because he's not a club ambassador like Sharp, Snodin and Stuart.

Yagyelka

Phil confirmed this himself

He's an illiterate blert, might as well get @chicoazul or @Bungle to do it, at least it will be readable.

I have long thought that. Something has happened, maybe years ago, that he has an issue with. No idea what though.

Or maybe he just isnt very good at being a pundit, and is a miserable bloke. His EL work was woeful.

Bad enough the likes of Michael Ball having a critical raised eyebrow in his Echo column...but Ratcliffe was a disgrace as a co-commentator on our Europa games - moaning and complaining about us constantly. Inarticulate too...but maybe the Sports Sub at The Echo will red pen most of what he says. Surely there someone better than him, with due respect to his achievements with us. Even Big Nev would make better reading...and on the game in general.
