The opinon of Howard Kendall.

[bignev23]

When he left us for Bilbao i was devestated,Ive never been as gutted by anyone leaving us before or since. Unfortunately He was gash when we got him back.Will always have respect for him though.I think it would be a mistake to give the managers job to Ferguson but thats only my opinion, He's obviously allowed his.

Largely, modern Evertonians disgust me!
It seems that the only Everton thing that I still relate to is the badge, and even that's f*cked now.
And as much as I love Ferguson, on what basis is he fit to be our next manager??? That's first division stuff that is!

...aaaaargh. shouldn't this be on the next manager thread. Too many posts relating to the same topic.

Nope, i'm not to young and i've never been a drunken student as you put it. I was at lucky enough to be at Wembley 3 times during the 80's and witness my team lifting the league champsionship on 2 occassions.

I have a hell of a lot of respect for Howard Kendall, a hell of lot.

I remember his 5 signings of his initial period that all flopt big time.

But the bottom line is that 3rd spell was a disaster, there was nothing at all that replicated his first spell so stop trying to compare things that just aren't there. His team played awful football, we were humiliated at Coventry (do you remember that, because I was there).

The bottom line is he should never have been brought back, end of. Johnson promised us a world class manager, we had signed Bilic and he was promised Dino Baggio and Casaraghi would be following him in, it never happend and we ended up with Danny Williamson and Gareth Farrelly.

Williamson wasnt a bad player, could have became good for us. Its nobodies fault his legs fell off.

Mentioning Kendalls third run the onfield spat at Highfield Road with Craig Short after we lost to Coventry in the league cup was pretty embarrassing.

NSNO CHRIS.
I don't know what age you are or how well you remember Howard Kendalls third spell in charge of Everton.

I can only imagine that you are too young to remember the period or maybe at that stage you lived your life through a drunken student stupour.

Anybody who remembers that time and the state the club was in will have nothing but respect for the fact that Kendall actually kept us in the league.

I always rated his third spell on a par with his assembly of our great 80s team on a very meagre budget.

You should remember he worked with no budget,he signed players nobody else wanted and convinced us and them apparently they were premiership footballers.
Our best player and our most talented player that year be some distance was a seventeen year old Michael Ball.
Kendall in his third spell worked with both hands tied behind his back,he came back to the club he loved to save it,even though it was in a horrendous state.

sadly evertonians under moyes dont know there born,everton were ina right state in 1991,92,93,94,97.98 and kendall did work miracles keeping a team like the 98 team in the prem,ive met him in magaluf and he was a gentleman and his opinions whether u agree with them or not should be respected

It really infuriates me when idiots on this fora denegrate the opinon of this man because of his fondness for a few pints.
If Kendall lost 90% of his brain cells he would still have infinitely more knowledge ,experience and know how about football than those that mock him.

I always try to read his columns in the echo and his opinons are always interesting and provocative.

When he suggests that Duncan Ferguson should be considered when appointing a manager then at the very least that opinon is worth an intelligent discussion.

Kendall obviously feels that Ferguson has the qualities that would make him a successful manager.
The pros :
He played at top level until recently.
He has been back at the club coaching and the adult squad as well as academy players.
We know that he is forthright,independent,determined,bloodyminded.
We know that he has leadership qualities in abundance and commands enormous respect.
We know that his coaching abilities and influence on players have been praised by those working with him.

The cons :
He lacks managerial experience.


It seems to me that he ticks the boxes for a manager in nearly all areas bar one and as Kendall suggested the appointment of a mentor like Peter Reid or Joe Royle would in part at least solve that problem.

Would it be far worse a risk than bringing a manager from a lesser European league who has no knowledge of country or league(Pereria) ?

I supported Everton in the 70s ,80s and thereafter.I learned a long time ago that when Howard Kendall speaks you shut up and listen.I wish others would do the same.

Howard makes less sense now he is sober. I think he is one of these people who operates better pissed up. Get him back on the malibu and cokes, and let him loose on the interview panel for out next manager I say!

outed

Of course he has to be respected for what he achieved in his first stint but he should never have gone to Bilbao - he should have stayed here and built a dynasty.

Good post, mate. Too many no-mark scallies knocking around who think they're being clever denigrating the great man.

Wow can't believe hibbo's being outed like that.

 

[Hibbosculturedrightboot]

Haha, 'koff you bunch of bad 'uns!

HK is the greatest living Evertonian. Is right

He's still chatting ****e though if he believes DF should be manager Is right. And if, as HK suggests, he could have a mentor alongside him, then that just underlines why he's a long way off taking control of a Premier League football club. Is right

DaveK has nailed it.

Kendall, boss player, a great manager and, though he has his well documented faults, an absolute Everton giant. But, though he'd be popular, Big Dunc needs to cut his teeth elsewhere in coaching and management before taking the reins at Everton. He'd be way too much of a risk at the moment.
