Seamus Coleman Calls Time On Everton Playing Career

[Dymak]

Just to cheer us all up:

Everton are keen to retain Gueye, 36, whose deal expires at the end of the season. The Athletic can reveal Gueye has not made enough Premier League starts (he is on 25 with one game of the season left) to automatically trigger a one-year club extension. As such, fresh talks will be needed to resolve his future.

If that's true, then the timing of his 'injury' is very suspicious, and I'm doubtful he will stay.

Been a fantastic servant but could argue he’s over stayed his welcome for a few years.

He’s not a legend. He’s not an icon. We have won nothing as a club in his tenure.

A fantastic servant, nothing more, nothing less.

Of course the club should have paraded him prior to the game but it’s completely understandable that we all left after that utter shower of [Poor language removed] showing - in which he played his part.

Thanks Seamus. I don’t think there’s any need for remorse from the fans. The club did not handle it as well as they could. [Poor language removed] happens.

If you cant look after your long serving players like Coleman - someone the fans think of as a legend - then you're chances of attracting decent future talent is reduced.

Straight out of the blocks on Sunday night that club should have been ahead of the game and explaining what went wrong and how they planned to put it right.

Nothing out of them since though - other than to continue to exploit the image of Coleman after having treated him like .

The club's in the bin for me.

I dont like what I'm seeing at all from this new regime.

They can GTF as far as Im concerned if they cant make the Coleman situation good. It's an insult to us all not just Seamus.

run of the mill social media engagement tactics.

This is exactly what it is. It's honestly quite frightening that some people think the social media channels are deliberately putting out stuff about Coleman or avoiding relegation as part of a strategic choice to focus on mediocrity. It's just standard social media use, you'll find the same at all clubs but obviously the ones who are more successful don't have to scrape the barrel as much as those who aren't. We basically have the choice of just going completely radio silent on social media until there's something genuinely good to share (which at this club could quite literally be years) or you regularly churn out vaguely positive stuff in order to drive engagement and reach a wider audience, that's all there is to it.

A completely irresponsible take without any context. Everton are much maligned.
From his native land. The various takes put forward by the host are something else.

Yes heard a few comments saying if he was English they would have stayed?!

 

[Rogue Trader]

Wish the club would stop tweeting daily about him leaving like he's some sort of revered champion.

Villa just won Europa League and we're tweeting out him cheering on a stretcher.

The smallest of small clubs.

I actually agree on this, the club [Poor language removed] up and they are nearly making things worse by doing this, it is nearly annoying to watch.

As an Irishman and Toffee, it should tickle me that one of my fellow countrymen is so revered at Everton. What a lovely sense of belonging that shoul evoke in me.

But it drives me nuts. Seamus was an honest plodder. That's all he was. In a properly functioning club set up to do justice to Everton's history, he'd barely be a footnote. It's quite disturbing how attached to him some people are. His PR is Goebbels-like.

He's a symptom of the Kenwright malaise. With Moyes and Prentice still in situ, nothing will change.

As if stating your Irish earns you some sort of points, don't be so insecure, an honest plodder? He was twice in the Premier league team of the season as for the rest of of sh^t have a word with yourself, joke.

"Over stayed his welcome" The club have failed to find a replacement for him after how many seasons, he doesn't offer himself a contract ya know

I think Cult Hero is probably an apt label for him. His reward was being paid handsomely for the whole time he was here, which is fine as he didn’t offer himself new contracts, and who wouldn’t say no to a few more million.

You cant assure me of anything.

I said 'guarantee', not 'assure'!

You support Hibs. What do you care?

The Evertonians and Irish have always gotten on famously. That’s a poor take to suggest that by anyone. Nationality is neither here nor there. It was badly handled by the club. Botched.
What happens competitively for the club on the field goes much farther than sentiment and if Everton wanted to acknowledge Seamus Coleman they made no great attempt. The Irish media are obsessed by the red crowd and Man Utd. End of. Everton are an aberration. So it’s easy come out with guff when they feel annoyed that ’Seamie’ was slighted. There’s simply no context to it. It’s just anger without accountability. Why be a journalist if that’s your modus operandi?

 

[RomanReigns]

So the big question is what next for the big man?

Honestly don’t think outsiders realise just how fed up Evertonians are with the club. We’d just completely blown our chance of staying in the race for Europe in a totally pathetic manner, the fans quite rightly left due to their frustration with the performance. This all could’ve been avoided if Moyes just let Coleman lead the team out and subbed him off after 30 mins/an hour and he would’ve got the reception his years of service deserved.
