Koeman Sack Sweepstake

Since we were in the Championship and Big Sam and his big mouth - when they were trying to chase us down for the promotion spot. There was a lot of banter too on here with the WHU fans when in the Championship and then into the EPL when we had that bad run at the beginning. What upset Big Sam was the Tuesday night game at Upton Park when they outplayed us for much of the game with 10 men and JH got the headed equaliser from the corner with a few to go to draw the match. One of JH's 'Tuesday Night Specials'!!

 

Like it but there are only 6 other clubs who are more ambitious than The Mighty Toffees in the world so will be difficult. More likely to have their wonderful fans turn on him and his new very expensive players like they did with their previous manager

 

You are still relatively young. You have plenty of time yet to extend that list.

 

The Koeman out banners are probably being printed as we speak.

 

Spelled like this:

"Kooman out la"

 

Well said. You can't blame Everton fans for this at all.

 

To be honest I am fascinated to see how he spends 100-160m (depending on sales) without coming up with at least a few stinkers.
Someone mentioned that they could well be shopping in the 15m + bracket which is risky (see: Osvaldo, Dani)

Even if they are you are looking at 6-8 new players. I am struggling to think of "legitimate" 30m players (so not over inflated prices) who would actually go their after they have finished in 11th and have many teams to try and overtake.

6-8 players is some upheaval and there is no guarantees Koeman will repeat the trick of managing it. At Southampton I am sure Kelvin and Jose (perhaps even Morgan once he calmed down) helped steady things out. What characters like that do they have left? (legit question by the way I am sure they have some)

Their main links seem to be with Janssen and Wijnaldum. They play in the positions of Lukaku and Barkley. That is not a recipe for progress unfortunately, just transfer profit (and therefore not spending all the 160m).

Finally as already alluded to since their transfer budget has been shouted all over the papers they face the risk of being substantially overcharged for anyone proven. You only need to look at Man United's latest Defender target (about 25 career games, rumoured fee of £32m) to see what can happen when everyone knows you are A). Desperate and B). Have money

 

I hope for Everton's sake they have a performance clause in his contract which means they won't have to cough up millions when he loses three matches on the bounce!

 

I hope there is clause that he has to eat nasty soggy chips- without Mayo.

 

Soaked in brown ''Mayo"

 

Which reminds me that I have to edit my signature.

 

Bearing in mind the Toffees fans already exceedingly high expectations, the pressure is going to be on from game one and as we have seen they do turn on their players and mangers very quickly.
Thought their behaviour last season was dreadful and wouldn't surprise me if it happened again if results don't match Premier League winning form straight away

 

13/12 Arsenal (H)
19/12 Liverpool (H)
26/12 Leicester (A)
30/12 Hull (A)
02/01 Southampton (H)

Five games that decide his fate. Perhaps.

 

Please let it be us!

 

What? After Bailey and Heath? You must be very young nipper. I dislike Everton even more than that lot down the road.

 

The bestest fans of the bigestist club in the world are very impatient.

 

The Fat Lady is going through her warming up exercises..."La, La, La, La, Laaaaaaaaa!"

 

I don't want Ron sacked. For some unfathomable reason, I still like the bloke.

I want him to stay at Everton and lead the sleeping giant where they belong...to mediocrity and beyond!

 

I still think he'll succeed there

 

I don't. I just think he hasn't bought into the project. It would take a massive amount of effort to get things into a strong position there, and he just does not look that interested. Other than the obvious outrageous £7M per year wage, why o why did he go there?
