Ex-Manager Thread

Naïve, much.


.


Oh please, please, please let this happen, just for a bit of karma and so I don't have to apologise to Tobes

 

So do I but maybe it's not all about the money with him, like it is with Koeman

 

Cheeky from the Echo. I like it.

 

Now, I was wondering what I can do with that shirt I got for my lad..



Oh thanks Ron, great idea...

 

I like that it's still possible to get 200/1 with Betfair on Craig David becoming our next manager.

 

Unbelievable. I'll give it 7 days.

 

Not aimed at you, just general, but presumably they're not saying they want each and every one of them on that list, though. Our transfer wish list would be as long and might have some similar names on it - doesn't mean we expect them all. They're names being listed by /countless different fans, so I don't find that list particularly odd.

Also, the idea that there's loads of brainless Everton fans out there getting carried away is no different to the fact that there are loads of brainless Saints fans (many cite Saintsweb on here) who would be doing the same. We can't exactly point fingers, or suggest they are representative of the whole lot. We'd be just as equally excited if we were getting our first choice manager in next, as well as discussing the players he'd be bringing from his old team (as we did with Koeman's Feyenoord captures).

 

I was going to try and lever in the 7 days reference, but thought nah, I'll leave that one for FLT

 

Les met Ron on Monday
Took him for a drink on Tuesday
Drafted up a contract on Wednesday
And on Thursday and Friday and Saturday, Ron spoke to Everton

 

SSN reporting the deal to be announced within the next 24 hours, 5 million compensation.

So nothing we didn't already know then.

 

Although there is a gulf between the fees managers and players command, £5m is a hell of a lot of comp. considering he just has 1 year remaining on his contract.

 

Hang on, I got to Cup Final once [hammered] won one weekly table [I think] but got four Saints score predictions correct in a row. I'm average, which for me is like winning the league!

 

This never ending 24 hrs that everybody seems to cling to hoping that whatever event it refers to will happen in the 24hrs following their latest bit of speculation is awesome....do you think that was how God managed to complete his "whole of creation project" in under a week?

 

You think this "24 hours" is long! It has nothing on my missus " il be ready in 5 mins"

 

I can't believe Everton are paying Ron £7m a year (plus bonuses?), AND paying out £5m to us in Compo. If you're going to spend out big time like that on a manager, surely you get a better manager in then Ron. He's good, but he's not that good.

 

Do you like my new avatar mate?

You managed to catch one of those on camera? A real live ****?

 

Has everyone seen Forster getting onto the plane to the Euros? He's on his phone permanently, probably 'Wat the fx going on?' or similar.
