I think given kenwrights inability, or lack of will, in wages or transfer fees that's he's had them punching above their weight relatively consistently, as well as bringing through a number of youth players successfully & buying in players at low fees with more success than most who operate with that kind of budget.
Sure, it's all relative, but without him I suspect Everton would be much much lower done the table.
Amended for accuracy
No matter how good a squad is, when this kind of thing happens it's always possible there will at least be a problem until the senior players get shipped out, because they're always liable to say 'Who do you think YOU are?' if any new manager tries to control them. No one other than Paisley could have held together the squad that Shankly left, the likes of Tommy Smith would have rebelled. Mourinho has the best chance with the mancs, but most of the rest will only be one wrong step away from a Clough/Leeds debacle. Fingers crossed!
Moyes appointment apparently set to be confirmed over the next 24 hours. With all due respect to his achievement with Everton, this appointment could kill 2 birds with 1 stone for us! #Fingerscrossed
Please get David Moyes. Please, please, please!!!!
Here's hoping.
The Paulo Di Canio bit at the end is genius!
Apparently they are being forced to do it to avoid a nosedive on their shareprice, live by the sword die by the sword
Regardless of who get the job, and the bookies have Moyes at a ridiculous 1/7, it will be interesting to see how many clubs have a proper go at them next season as opposed to just rolling over and letting them have 3 points. So much of their aura of invincibility came from Ferguson, unless its Mourinho I just cannot see the same mentality pervading the club from now on
I cant wait to see some of their spoiled brat fans turn on the new boss after his first defeat
Agreed, especially since both positions need replacement/strengthening.
Up the end of the year.
Evra has actually been decent this year, and has captained them quite a bit. He may not rock the boat with the defense (thankfully). I think Felliani is likely but they need more of a defensive mid, and Felliani plays pretty far up the pitch for Everton.
Rafa Benitez's reaction to news Sir Alex Ferguson's retirement
It's almost certainly Gollum.
There's no way both the scum and bitters will emerge unscathed from this.
Wouldn't disagree but just a hunch feeling.
The Buttner lad hasn't seem to work out, Baines 'deserve' a shot at a bigger club, his stats over the past seasons have proven how important he is to Moyes' plan and Felliani has comparatively more options (of clubs to choose from).
