The Mail Bag

Bilic Anyone?

Personally, I've been quite impressed with Slaven Bilic's contribution throughout the Euro qualifiers. Some of his tactical switches have been immense and obviously out-smarted the impotent McClaren (although I'm not too sure how hard that actually is). If/when Moyes leaves ? God forbid in my eyes ? wouldn't our old ex Slaven Bilic fit the bill as Everton boss? He surely still owes us something after his spell here ? doesn't he???

Oh FFS! I was wondering how long it would take for someone to think of this genius idea....

Moyes is the manager fullstop why should we discuss replacing him with some Croatian bloke who played shite for us and took an enormous wage for doing so.
He is not exactly an ex Blue the fans took to their hearts.
David Moyes unless he leaves himself is the manager here for a long time to come and BK is ready to offer him a new deal.

Michael...David Moyes wasn’t exactly "an ex Blue the fans took to their hearts" was he?
OK...would it be easier to take if Bilic lost his earring?!

No Bilic was an ex Blue

I don’t think beating the England team that took to the pitch last night was any great testament to Bilic. Sunderland would have beat the tits! So how about Roy Keane as our future manager?

No

Not impressed by his ethics during his last sojourn on Merseyside.

"He surely still owes us something after his spell here ? doesn’t he???"

That statement is making me wee. WTF are you on mate??

So you’d expect every ex Evertonian to come back and do some kind of work(paid or charity) just cos they ’had a spell’ here. Can you please tell me what he owes? He was a shit bit part no mark that had absloutely no bearing on the team at the time or any major part in the history of our club!
Christ, they must be having a field day over on the West Ham site....’Curbs Out, Bilic In!’

Mr Shearer. I can’t believe you’d embarrass yourself(atleast I hope you are) writing such utter, utter shite!

What’s that song by Steely Dan, ’We’re gonna BACK-TRACK, do it agaaaain......!’

absolute ruubbish

Even if he as the greatest coach on earth, I wudn’t give him a job cleaning the Park End toilets on match days after what he did to us. Mercenary and a pr*ck to boot.

Mr. Eaves
Please refer " If/when Moyes leaves"
also " surely still owes us something after his spell here - doesn’t he???"
Do you not see relevant sarcasm?
If not...you should do as your Granny said " If you’ve nothing nice to say - don’t say anything at all"
Just for the record, not that I need explain myself to you but I’m pro-Moyes and anti-Kirkby for that matter.
There endeth my surman.

The same Slaven Bilic that was working as a Solicitor and getting paid by Everton FC whilst on sick and got a six figure payout when he left? Mercenary bastard has had enough money out of this club thank you very much and how could anyone even breathe that baldy no eyed bastard, one trick pony, boring bastard, Shearer’s name in relation to Everton

not arsed about england anyway.

havent wached a game since mcclarren took over, in protest!!

im sadistically happy we got knocked out lastnight.

now its time for the FA to really pull their fingers out their arses and get us a decent manager for the national side.

then maybe, i will start to watch and be patriotic again.

regards

Gerrard + lampard = SHITE!!!

It doesn’t matter how good the manager is because the players are shite. The solution has to go much deeper than merely appointing another figurehead.

Clear out the crap kid’s coaches I say! It may take a long time but we need players to develop who are not frightened of the ’effing’ ball!

Ron Wilmington
17 Posted 22/11/2007 at 20:02:40

I agree with Roy Keane ... England have quality players but too many bigheads (Lampard, Gerrard etc.). England need a manager who is technically savvy and not afraid to kick the ass of some of these prima donnas.

Combine the incompetence of Laurel and Hardy (Barwick and McClaren) with the titanic egos on the team and the excrement on display is the result.

Anyway enough of this Euro shite I’m ready for some football. COYB!

Earl Barrett for manager anyone?

I was walking through Bellevale shops one day (when Bilic played for us), when I spotted Bilic. I thought what the fuck is an Everton player doing in Bellevale shops (if not Scouse and no ties to the area). But get this, he was in Crazy Georges. From that moment on I always thought he was nuts.

I recently read a piece by HK saying that Bilic had it written into his contract that he should always be the 2nd highest earner at the club, with the result that every time we signed a new player who earned more, he automatically got a rise. Now if that is not the work of a mercenary, then I don’t know what is. If memory serves he spent more of his time on the treatment table than on the pitch anyways, which makes such a ’clause’ all the more audacious.

Thats a ’no’ to Slaven for coach, btw :) LOL

Although I like Bilic and think he may turn out to be a good manager in the future, i think he has already cost Everton enough in the past!

James Elworthy
25 Posted 23/11/2007 at 11:31:56

It was well documented at the time Bilic was a mercenary and the then Everton board paid silly wages to him we couldnt afford. I recall he played pretty crap for us also.
I would go for Brian Kidd as Asst Manager its a role he has fulfilled well in the past and he has a good reputation as a coach. I dont think many people who have been number 1’s would want to be a number 2
