I'm sure they're looking on at the Doug King revolution with real envy as we unveil another loan fresh out of his GCSEs
I'm sure they're looking on at the Doug King revolution with real envy as we unveil another loan fresh out of his GCSEsThe last time Everton played decent football, Kendal, Harvey and Ball were in midfield. An ex-Everton player (can’t remember who) was saying today that Dyche would be welcomed by the fans, they’d like his style of football. Can’t see it myself. This guy was also moaning about Moshiri, and although I’m sure he’s got a lot wrong, the club have spent £500mil on new players in the last few years. Just keeps appointing the wrong managers.
Black was better than Reid but there were also some shocking results under him and he’s never been a manager since.When John sillet was sacked I wasn't that bothered as I thought we were getting a world class defender in Terry Butcher - how wrong I was sorry snoz.
Eric Black - what might have been. Peter Reid unbelievably bad.
BigRon was shocking so pleased when he was appointed, not really fair on Phil Neal
andy Thorne - only compensation was he was probably cheap to get rid of.
Russel slade -oh dear we've had some shockers
Was it?!?When Reid was first appointed it was well received by a lot of fans,
When Reid was first appointed it was well received by a lot of fans, didn’t last long.
How long before people start touting Robins as the bookies favourite to replace him ?
I remember his first game agaisnt palace - bizarre moment when we were chanting “Eric black sky blue army” and mid song changed to “Peter Reid’s sky blue army” after a goal went inWhen Reid was first appointed it was well received by a lot of fans, didn’t last long.
Was it?!?
He said that he had been made a lot of false assurances by McGinnity when he was offered the post. Eric Black while not perfect had the fans and players onside and was doing fine with the limited finances. Really that whole fiasco is on the chairmanThere was uproar. And I remember fans giving him pelters at a couple of away games, I think Brighton and Rotherham, even though we won 1 and drew 1.
I don't think khe wanted to be here quite early into his tenure.
The strong rumour was Black presented them with a wish list of transfers, and because neither McGinnity or Robinson had heard of any of them, he was out.He said that he had been made a lot of false assurances by McGinnity when he was offered the post.

They got giddy at hiring a name and then signing some more names. And what names they were that season:The strong rumour was Black presented them with a wish list of transfers, and because neither McGinnity or Robinson had heard of any of them, he was out.
So then we had the fiasco of signing Tim Sherwood without a medical...
That sounds about right. Reid was on a hiding to nothing with the Operation Premiership nonsense and it was either promotion or bust - we weren’t doing too badly and then MM sold Davenport and we didn’t have the money to reinvest and then it all fell apart.I seem to remember it not being particularly popular, though I don't think he was 'hated' initially.
People hoped he'd do well and if he'd come in to replace someone who was failing badly he'd have been given time but Black was popular and we were playing some nice attacking football that was exciting to watch if not always getting the results.
So when Reid made the team dull and he had to hit the ground running with results to get fans onside. When that didn't do that they were quick to get on his back.
Rooney’s Everton?Doubt he’ll be in the frame.
Moyes?
Bielsa?
Dyche?
Rooney?
They’ll all be touted before Robins.
Edit: put Gerrard on list but then realised the obviously obvious mistake.
That side in the 80s under Kendall played some great football. Could easily have one a European cup if it wasn't for their neighbours.The last time Everton played decent football, Kendal, Harvey and Ball were in midfield.

When the likes of Ancelotti and Benitez can't make it work maybe managers aren't their biggest problem?
Exactly. Maybe attention should be focussed higher up.Ancelotti did well to be fair, just wasn't there very long (can't blame him!)
As someone who hasn’t been following them that closely, what are the Everton board doing so badly? They’ve obviously allowed someone to spend a fortune on players who often aren’t very good - is that all on them? Is there anything else they’re doing wrong?
Good article, cheers!
It’s amazing how many of these bad decisions are attributed specifically to Moshiri caving to fan pressure. I somehow doubt there’s much self-reflection going on among the Everton fans chanting ‘Sack the board’ every week.

He was decent at Derby.What does Board Out mean or do ?
Frank Lampard has proved at two clubs now he’s not a yet good football manager at Premiership level if he ever will be. Needs to go into league 1 or 2 and learn the job.
He was decent at Derby.
large amount of self-entitlement amongst Everton fans. Until last season they've been a "top10" side for nearly 20 years.Good article, cheers!

Stern John was a good signing, although it took subsequent managers to get the best out of him. John & Adebola were one of the better striking partnerships we had in that first spell in The Championship.They got giddy at hiring a name and then signing some more names. And what names they were that season:
Neil Wood
Eddie Johnson
Florent Laville
Luke I
Richard I
Matt Mills
Lloyd Dyer
Ady Williams
Shaun Goater
Christian Negouai
Rohan Ricketts
Rob Page
Stern John
Graham Barrett
In 20 years' time we'll have the current random young loanees in a similar list
Surely Chelsea and Liverpool’s implosions are signs that the top 6 isn’t pretty much tied up every season? Everton themselves were a top 6 regular until not that long ago.Fact is top 6 is pretty much tied up every season and they're not as big (or rich) as those clubs.Newcastle on the verge ofbreaking in this season - one because of money, two because Liverpool & Chelsea are self-imploding atm
They weren’t premiershipHe was decent at Derby.
