2025/26 Seamus Coleman

[wandyr79]

Each to their own and all that, but I really don't get the animosity, towards his person and attitude, from a few people.

I believe that I am a fairly decent judge of character and Coleman has never once raised any alarm bells to his love for the club, to his willingness to help with community stuff. Just seems an all round nice guy. If you don't feel he has contributed on the pitch in the last few years, which is hard to argue against, then fair enough. But the out and out snide comments to his character just seem weird to me.

They're agenda driven by people historically more suited to Anfield.

Nothing worse than agenda driven posts is there Dave?

...I know, especially against a club legend.

No marks is not so bad.

Nice couple of weeks off in the sunshine for Seamy now whilst raking it in.

You should know, as you seem to spend a lot of time on RAWK, " helping out ".

I thought club legends had to win trophies?

Legend...and here's his medals box to prove it:

Legend.

To class that no mark as a legend is an embarrassment to the club.

Legends are laden with silverware. He hasn't won an egg cup in his whole 18 year long career.

The bleak reality Dave is that since 1995 no Everton player has won a trophy... a situation and stigma that needs to change sooner rather than later.

I wish Baines was the legend others consider him to be because it'd mean we'd had substantial success.

None of our players in the last 23 years have been legends.

Mate not everybody is a boy, theres a criteria people need to follow to be called a boy.

Baines isnt a boy, hes a legend.

A legend wins stuff. NME's footballer-superfan of the year doesn't count.

What has anyone seen from him that makes you think he deserves to be a first team coach?

His attitude and leadership are very highly spoken of from numerous ex-players and managers. He's certainly a good leader and ambassador to the club by all accounts. It's not hard to imagine how those traits could be positive for an aspiring coach.

But yeah, I don't know anything about what drills Seamus would be running in training or how he'd set up a team, so on that level, there is nothing to go on.

I have no idea why any evertonian should have a bad word to say about Seamus

He should have been offered a coaching role not a playing role at least two years ago but that’s hardly his fault

To have a bad word about Seamus Coleman means you're not and probably never have been an Evertonian.

I mean you've just described a typical Everton fan but they dont get paid 50k a week to do it.

I think this is the opinion of a lot of the people in this thread, I doubt many have any real animosity to Coleman. I think, like all things internet, you get loud voices at the poles. There's some on here that won't countenance any criticism of Coleman which then results in others becoming more extreme in their criticism of him. Neither of those positions are rational.

He's been a great servant to the club but his playing career is done at this level. If he wants to carry on playing, fair enough, we should let him go and do that with our best wishes somewhere else. If he wants to stay next season, then he should do so as a coach. I don't think there's anything too controversial there but someone will likely be along to call me an ingrate momentarily.

He hasn't had a testimonial has he? Maybe the first testimonial at the new stadium can be his, the crowd can fistpump for 90 minutes.

Blind sentimentality… Straight out of the Bill Kenwright “how not to run a football club” manual

Hopefully play Ireland so he’ll actually bother to turn up for it.
