Koeman becomes Dutch Master

Do you think Sam would be interested in the San Marino job?

It must be one of the few jobs in the World where failure gets rewarded, then after a short period, get offered another high paid position.

I can't bring myself to wish him all the best; the mess he has left our once wonderful Club in still makes my blood boil.

I'm baffled, seriously. At least with Martinez you could see what he was trying to do attacking wise and you felt he might be a good fit with Belgium and the squad they have. Koeman? I struggle to see what his identity and playing style is.

It's been said a thousand times already, but Walsh should have been fired at the same time. They have both said our transfer dealings were a joint effort. A joint failure.

Koeman and Walsh couldn't do together, what Moyes managed alone - sign value-for-money quality players, with the sole aim of building a coherent team.

If one of these twats gets the sack, they both should - gross mismanagement of our transfer budget!

I've seen a mention on TW of Dein and Wenger for Chief Exec and DoF, which I would absolutely love!

I have an alternative thought though. Moyes could spot a player, was renowned for his thorough player research - how about Moyes for Chief Scout. To placate him, tell him it's the DoF position, but have a highly skilled negotiator work with him.

(The last paragraph was tongue in cheek...or was it)

He realty is living off his footballer status.

He's clearly unhappy at Chelsea, offer him the job at the end of the season.

Probably too imaginative for our board though!

Good luck with that, maybe post Brexit might work.

I love Everton but I sometimes wish she would disappear under the sea with every other Premier League and international side, if only so we can start all over again.

Listened to 'At home with Stuart Pearce' by podcast on way into work this morning. A proper old fashioned footballer. Not perfect of course but I yearn for those 'less mad' days, before money first corrupted and then did away with the game I love.

Of course other people are still in employment at the club who are just as much to blame, if not more so than the Dutchman.

Add to the fact that the fans were never going to be patient after a decade of “glass ceiling” no success under the previous manager David Moyes.

Right now I can only dream of being where Everton were in that first season under Martinez.

Koeman was employed to take the club forward, which he did in some ways last season but he failed (which great help from Steve Walsh) this term and during last summer.

The loss of Lukaku and failure to replace 20-25 goals from the main striker was costly and the defence was broken up too much with no replacement for Baines and the fixation with Schneiderlin and Gueye starting (which still remains a massive problem under Allardyce anyway).

I hope Koeman restores pride for himself .

He wasn't the first and won't be the last to be a failure at a club which symbolises failure better than anyone.

I'm not sure this was the job you had in mind after us but hey-ho.

No chance after the mess he left which will take us years to recover from. He is the worst manager we have ever had at least Mike Walker signed Big Dunc.

Ferguson was actually second choice behind Hateley from Rangers, and more of a desperation signing. He was also utter shite under Walker, and only thrived under Royle.
