    Anyone lamenting the departure of that managerial mistake needs urgent professional help

    Do you think he would come back if we gave him a bunch of flowers and said we were sorry?

    I think people will look back on Ross fairly fondly, was a good bloke, took us to Wembley but came up short ultimately.

    If PP has won 10/11 games would people be twittering about Ross and his new job? Not a chance.

    That said, I did say at the time if PP was the next best option I'd rather have kept Ross on.

    Look at Portsmouth. Had a shocking start, Jackett under real pressure, they didn't **** themselves like we did. Now they've turned it around and are above us. Imo Ross was a good manager/coach and knew we'd end up with someone like Parkinson and regress ffs.

    If the club thought they had to respond to calls to sack Ross they're going to have to get rid of Parkinson sharpish if things don't improve very quickly because it's going to get extremely toxic.

    We'll never know where we'd be now if he'd stayed but we didn't exactly give a young manager time to learn on the job, as soon as everything wasn't going great he got the boot.

    Maybe now is the time to give it to Phillips. I don't advocate sacking Parkinson but Phillips would give everyone a lift, which is the only thing that's going to make any difference.

    That and if he wants to get us playing football, it's what the squad is best at. I'm baffled on Parkinson's insistence on long ball and worried about January's transfer window if that's what it's going to be about.

    I haven't been to a game since Southend but it sounds like we're regressing fast. Maybe Phillips is the man I dunno.

    I think Donald will be sat somewhere thinking "god what have I done". Because I don't think he'll bin Parkinson now, not on a two and a half year contract. And replace him with someone like say Phillips, give him a contract with wages etc.

    I don't think Donald would either...however, my theory is that our American overlords were behind Ross' sacking, based on Donald's comments about it and it coming at a time when it was rumoured that 'personnel' issues were holding the investment up.

    If that is correct then I think they'd have something to say if it looked like Donald was buggering everything up and the fans were booing the team. Hardly what they had in mind for the matchday experience they're supposed to be keen on improving.

    The fans only chanted in response to Bolton fans singing sacked in the morning

    You can bet your life that if moyes returns to everton and he gets a win there will be some of the usual glue sniffers who will wax lyrically about his time here. Probably the same ones saying ross was harshly treated.
    Laughable bordering on moronic

    The difference between Moyes and Ross and their respective spells at SAFC is huge.

    Probably aye, there is a lot of pressure on him though. He certainly won't be keen on sacking him seeing as he spent as long choosing him as he's been in charge so far.

    No comparison whatsoever other than they're both Scottish.
