Seamus Coleman Calls Time On Everton Playing Career

[Rita_Poon]

….i’d be thinking he’ll want to have a go at management, maybe with the aim of being in the hot seat here or ROI one day. I didn’t get the impression he’d be back here as a coach next season even though that offer is on the table.

I’d imagine there’ll be a few suitors interested in taking a punt on Coleman the Manager, sounds like he’ll wait and see what comes up.

Players that have retired, and some managers, all talk a very similar thing.
"It only really hits you on that first Saturday at 3 o'clock and you are not there, that's when you know".

For so many it has been their entire life, and the transition can be tough. I hope he has something lined up to help him through.

Build a statue, name a stand, whatever...lest we forget.
The gold standard for modern footballers.

What great value for money Seamus was, for a few seasons he and Brains were probably the best full back pairing on the league.

Thanks for everything Seamus, a model professional.

It’s time. He had almost no minutes on the pitch this season. As much as his leadership is an asset it had to gnaw at him to be essentially in the squad for his intangibles and not his ability to play football.

That being said if we’re level with Sunderland at 80’ and Moyes runs him out expect the place to tip into the river

 

[Benicetoourboys]

He's so loved.

"Well, it's tonight for a 5 minute cameo or it's the Sunderland game. I reckon tonight, one way or the other."

pre the city game. we knew, he knew. no one beats the clock.

 

[Timbucktoo]

If he plays on Sunday, he will have cost the club £138.25 per game

Does that include all the medical treatment he had over the last couple of seasons between Ireland internationals?

Knowing us, he'll sign a one year deal with a newly promoted side, play every game and win a trophy.

Been a wonderful servant of the club but this decision has come 2 seasons too late.

Good luck with the rest of your career Seamus

Boo. Coleman leaves Everton when he chooses. End of.

….terrific man, fine player. As a collective we have a lot to be thankful for, as Michael Keane said, we’d have been relegated without him.

Thanks for everything, Seamus Coleman, you leave a huge void to be filled;

Beautiful.

The feller's been class.

 

[Dymak]

A great servant to the club. He made a crucial difference in saving us from oblivion during that disastrous season of the Fat Spanish Waiter and Frank Lampard. It might not be as glamorous as a trophy win, but I’d say that was way more important than lifting a silver pot above your head tbh!

 

[Ufotone]

In his day, what a player.

A true Everton great.

Loved throughout the club.

Seamus Coleman

I think he'll stay on as coach.

But in order to get the goodbye he deserves, it makes sense not to commit to that until after the Sunderland game.

 

[ChicagoToffee]

Couple of stands at Hill Dick needing proper names.

The Coleman End.

Appropriate and magnificent.
