Sam Allardyce will never gain full support of Everton fans, says Kevin Campbell

This was never ever going to be a long term plan where Allardyce was going to build a dynasty over 5 or 10 years, he knew that and we knew that.

I still say to this day that the man really culpable for this is Farhad Moshiri.

Nobody can blame Allardyce for wanting a big contract and no matter what people will throw at him, he will walk away this summer and say he's done his job plus a little bit more by finishing potentially 8th.

I can't really be arsed with the animosity club that currently exists with Allardyce, he's done no worse than keeping Koeman nor has he done any better if we finish 8th.

I don't want nor expect him to stay but that's down to Everton's board to sort out.

I just hope Moshiri gets this next crucial decision right because we can't keep going through managers after the financial backing the last two have had.

If it's Fonseca, Silva or Howe or someone else I just hope we aren't hearing the same abuse aimed at them after three months that Martinez, Koeman and now Allardyce have endured.

The next plan has to be viewed as a longer term strategy where the manager has patience from both fans and board to make his own mistakes and learn from them.

He has thicker skin than a rhino and played a blinder by getting an 18 month contract.

No credit from me, no pat on the back. If he had gotten on with the job and showed so class, instead of being crass then you'd still want him removed but could muster a ‘okay fella thanks for that'.

The guy I'm really gunning for is Moshiri, I don't care even if the man is monied to the hilt. He has made a string of poor decisions.

If he has any sense he brings in the DoF that can take away the pressure of appointing/sacking a manager and misjudged musing with Jim White.

If he continues to bumble along then the irony of Everton finally hitting the rocks when ‘we have' money will be a fitting epitaph.

Clever recruitment of players and a good manager. They are in a champions league final now.

If Allardyce stays it says everything I need to know about Mr Farhad Moshiri and his so called project. Allardyce simply cant stay.

If we can tread water in 6th,7th,8th season on season I honestly believe he would be happy with that.

If it helps to get FS launched I am for it..This for me is very much a case of no decision being worse than a bad decision

His functional football would have suited the England job, he lost that option as we all know.The expose of him needs no explaining,the fact that it was along time 'friend' and journo that blew his cover speaks volumes.

The football he has us playing is the worst I have ever seen ever. The man needs to exit with dignity. I don't know him, but have the feeling that will need to be mansplained to Sam.

“Well done Liverpool FC champions league final
Now can our board realise this is where we want our club to be
Anything below first is a waste of time
Show us some ambition please
Nothing but the best”

Best of luck to all brave enough to organize and partake in the protest for Saturday night, I am hoping the fans will join in harmony to give Fat Sam, Kenwright and their like the proverbial middle finger.

And every other pundit/supporter of lesser Clubs who feel we should know our place. They are concerned solely with selling a product and can fuck right off.

We need a new manager, investment in at least one or two top-quality players, new permanent revenues (or any forays into the top 4 will be fleeting) and an overhaul of training and backroom staff.

I can't see it all happening at least until we move into the new stadium. Whenever that may be.

As Phil says, 7th-ish it is then.

But not in the media John, where they all think we are lucky to have him. What is wrong with wanting the "in your face" Everton Cambell remembers, never mind the school of science?

Why should we accept this shifty arrogant git who got sacked by England after a matter of days for ethics which are more than questionable and who uses tactics out of the dark ages.

NSNO.

Whilst the media are happy to defend him, Campbell has just seized on the fans ill feeling that's been there for months, it's now at a tipping point, hence my disdain for him jumping on board. Savvy? Yes, very much so but just a personal PR move IMO.

Much like the lords and dukes who waited to see which way the war was going until they declared their Colours.

Just a fair weather type is our SuperKev.

Who else would have recommended this?

At the moment we have outsourced almost all of our functions and lack enough marketing, media and communications staff to do the sort of job Liverpool, the Manchester clubs, Chelsea, Arsenal, Tottenham demand. The club also does not offer the staff salaries available at those clubs.

One of the things that Denise Barret-Baxendale has shown in her work with Everton in the Community is an ability to organise that highlights what seems to be lacking in the rest of the club structure.

Hopefully Moshiri will soon complete the restructure, recruit the right number of high quality staff and this will boost turnover, raise the profile of the club and raise expectations.

I think a few of us have short memories when it comes to Moshiri. He came in a got rid of that fraud Martinez, which was 100 percent the right thing to do, then he appoints Koeman and Walsh, which at the time every fan to a man was made up with.

He then gives Koeman and Walsh a couple of hundred million(including players wages) and they proceed to waste it on absolute dross. They never addressed the issue every man and his dog could see which was a striker with a track record, pace and quality in wide areas, and quality cover across the back 4. Instead they collected number ‘10's with no pace and further unbalanced what was an unbalanced squad in the 1st place.

Then we give it to Unsie after probably not pulling the trigger early enough on Koeman, and he proceeded to make us look like the dog and duck for a few games; the highlight for me was an away thumping at prolific Southampton.

At this point we quite rightly in my opinion had to find a stopgap manager who could steady us and try and drag us out of the shite that Koeman and Walsh left us in. Allardyce was a no-brainer in this regard, and he's done exactly the job he was tasked to do. The football is shite, and he's a bit of nobhead but did we really expect anymore given what we all know about him?

The real baddie in all this Koeman. That thumb headed idiot has left us with a bloated squad of players who are all on megabucks and will be very hard to move on. In my opinion he goes down as the worst manager I have seen at Goodison, and I include mike walker in that. The only decent bit of business he did was bring in Pickford and possibly Siggurdson.As for the rest- Keane, Williams, Martina, Klaasen, Sandro, Bolasie, Klasic, Schneiderlin, Rooney etc, they are all not the right players and probably were never going to be.

As far as the future goes, I would like to see Allardyce move on, but who comes in I have no clue. There is nobody on the horizon that I think would be a good fit. The Fonseca's and Silvas of this world are as bigger gamble as unsie was for me, so maybe it means we have to sit tight and wait. Personally (again a huge risk) I like Arteta. Was a brilliant player for and by all accounts is developing into a great coach too.

But please let's not slag off our owner. He put his faith in Koeman who looked like he would be the man, gave him hundreds of millions and backed him to the hilt. Now he's trying to pick up the pieces..

From the very beginning I and a small minority were speaking out against Koeman's appointment, based on his appalling man-management record at three of his previous 4 clubs which had seen him sacked from two of them, and leaving the other 'by mutual consent.' All the warning signs were there if Moshiri had bothered to carry out full due diligence prior to his appointment, but he was I think, blinded by Koeman's playing record rather than his record as a manager.

As for Walsh, once again, not all of us wanted him, and certainly weren't convinced by the need for a DOF, and still aren't. Please don't put us all into the same camp when it came to those appointments because it simply wasn't as unanimous as you think, in terms of our acceptance of the pair.

In general I hate generalisations.

What complete shite!

If you don't go to the game - - that's your choice and prerogative - - - I don't say you should feel ashamed for that - - its up to you - - but never ever criticise me (or others) for going to the game or ask me to be ashamed.

I have never missed so many games in one season since serving in the army in the late fifties, and I go to matches because Everton are playing and I'm an Evertonian.

Having attended matches at Goodison since 1948 and going to a fair share of away games, I have been disappointed, [many times] but never ashamed of being an Evertonian, and if I can regain my fitness I shall be in the Park End in August.

The expression 'Hope springs eternal' may mean nothing to you, but it's what keeps loyal supporters attending games, and 'Once a Blue, always a blue' applies to thousands of 'Loyal Evertonians'.
