In effect, Everton are the Man City of Liverpool? Didn't City boycott the CL a few years ago for some reaso and every time the anthem was played booed all the way through it and protested in some other way for some reason? Or was that something to do with the investigations in to their spending etc and could be why the infamous 115 breaches still hasn't been brought to a conclusion?
Man City have always proclaimed to be the "Manchester" club as their glory years have only really been over the last 10 - 15 years with the success being "bought" hence only local support over the long term although there was also some success in the 60's. I also think that since the Arabs came in and bought the trophies for them has actually put a lot of tourists off of them as itnwere United and Liverpool have let's face it nearly always been at the top of the tree (although I can remember them both in the 2nd division (Utd when when we were there in the 70's for one season) We were in the States a feew years ago and ended up chatting to a local who's first question was (knowing we were English) whether we liked soccer - soon put him right on that - and told him our allegience and his was Liverpool. Never been there, no link, just the name and the Beatles!
Just the adulation and euforia of when that goal goes in. And the lack of organisation in getting us back to the coaches afterwards with a couple of skates trying to goad the hoards of Saints fans which worked and they did not come off very well .......
I'd be more than happy with play offs and miss out on going up, in fact for the reasons you state, that would be the preference At least then we could possibly build on that next season
I'm with Hythe Ferries on this one, he would have been too expensive as opposed to not good enough - that is the SR way My OP was the reference to Norwich getting someone in who was not a household name, and I dare say not too expensive but experienced at football management having been at Bruges, Monaco, Rangers, Genk etc for instance. Ok, that's European experience but surely worth a punt. Oh, he played a fair bit as well
I was just coming on here to ask whether we thought we'd ripped Everton off of £40m, and for the 10 minutes hes been on so far and that missed chance just now (and we're knocking AA!!), we definitely did!
Providing we can keep him! He just comes across as someone who really loves his football and not all the "riches" that supposedly goes with it. And with his background you can see why. Could be a cult hero () if he stays and clearly loves the fans
