It’s not gonna happen Dave because I am closing this mother fucker down ! :P[/quote]
You’re barking up the wrong tree Phil.It’s not Dave. His writing style is completely different.[/quote]
I know Jonny ! ha ha ha ! Just messing !
Historically under Kenwright’s reign Everton have always been fairly thrifty when it comes to transfers and the like and so therefore RM has the right credentials…..Or does he ? ……
At the end of the day he failed due to various reasons but he did manage to write us into the history books and for that we should be eternally grateful !Yes, most of us could see what he was trying to achieve but he just did not have the players to pull it off ! I thought he would struggle initially, losing Baines and Fellaini and that it would take time transitionally with his footballing style etc and so I struck up a bet with the guy who cuts my hair that they wouldn’t finish in the top 8 and for that reason alone I want that to happen this season ! Baines didn’t go in the Summer and he managed to get a couple of decent loan players in and because of that has been able to maintain Everton’s usual league position for this time of the year ! My bet doesn’t look to good as we speak but you never know ! I can see them finishing about 6th which is Everton’s norm is it not ! In a further 18 months he should be challenging for a top 4 spot or in my opinion he will not have achieved what his chairman really wants of him and if he is indeed as good as his last chairman says then he should be winning the league ( Finances allowing ) within the next 4 years ! Good luck to him I say and let’s now put this thread to bed, whadya say!
Hi fil, just like to hear the reason you say he failed?.He kept us in there for 3 seasons despite having his best players leave almost every window.He was under viable restraints so we the fans did not have to pay high prices to watch the team.Bigger and richer clubs couldn’t stay in there as long as we did and for the fact that he did stave off relegation 3 times in the greediest league in the world, tells me he did not fail in the slightest.Like others on here I didn’t always agree with his tactics and ideas but I will never see him as a failure just the opposite.

At Wigan Athletic THANK YOU ROBERTO MARTINEZ[/quote]
In the greed league if you go down you fail, that is why so many managers get potted when they drop to The Championship despite having all the constraints that we had ! I am not calling him for it but for many reasons he ultimately capitulated ! Many managers also succumb to the trapdoor when their teams go anywhere near the greed league relegation zone, it’s the nature of the beast I’m afraid !
The stats so far are looking mighty promising !

bobs doing ever so well at everton cant put my finger on why he didn’t here at wigan
I can put my finger on it: much more income. an average attendance of 37,000 each season at Everton and ticket prices considerably higher than at Wigan.
So where are you watching games from this season Bicky? ;)[/quote]
Better players, full stop ! B)

I cant wait for Özil to make a complete fool of Barry again, now that was funny ! :P
Arsenal 1 Everton 1
Most amusing![/quote]
Did Özil not score ! Barry clattered into him badly twice, the second time earned him a yellow the dirty bastard ! I would say that Özil won the battle again ! :) Now go and polish your shoes for your next gig ! ;)
