Saint Without a Halo

They offered him a new extension and terms to measure the truth of his commitment they did not want a lame duck manager this year leaving after 12 months commit properly or move on is a very credible scenario and probably the most likely Whether he was delaying to get a better deal and ran out of time and tested SFCs patience we will never know However it is clear SFC did not want a manager who was leaving anyway in 12 months time

I guess Boruc isn't keen on the new goalkeeping vacancy at Everton no matter how much Moshri pays him or how much history Everton have

Got to give it to Boruc encapsulates my feelings exactly I guess Artur was the first of the players to have a falling out with Koeman and so was hardly a big fan

New Tweet from Ronald on how pleased he is to take on Everton and their great history I am very excited to be @Everton manager. I believe in our ability to achieve things with the Club, team and fans in the future. #everton

Spot on

Comparing Saints current Players versus Evertons at the Euros Saints win hands down Comparing ex Saints players versus ex Everton players at the Euros we also win hands down That doesn't even include Wanyama , Mane , Tadic Virgil etc whose teams are not there as well as a number of injured and or unselected recent ex saints such as Shaw Wallcott Chamberlain Add to that the nucleus of the victorious under 21s at Toulon JWP Targett and ex Saint Chambers It shows clearly we both have and have developed far superior players than Everton from the current footballing generation over tha last few years and are continuing to do so

He could have had another but for a super save from a great header by the keeper early in the 2nd half

FFS even Pelle is better than Lukaku if you watched Belgium Italy today Pelle played great and scored Lukaku was crap and got subbed

Pelle rubs Lakakus nose in it now 2-0 Italy

If that is the case all we have to do is add it to the Everton compensation! Easy really!

Imagine the strength of that team if we added in the unselected and or injured ex saints and the current ones whose countries either did not qualify or are not European I challenge Everton fans to come up with a better team than the above which certainly shows our recent success over the immediate footballing generation

Pelle certainly shining more than Lakaku in the Italy Belgian match

Well watching Pelle for Italy versus Lukaku for Belgium it is certainly obvious in this Match that he is far better than Lukaku Never mind Tadic and Mane versus Miralles and dellafou Whilst you expect Lukaku to not play his best at Everton where he has been looking for a move surely he should be up to it for Belgium lukaku has just been subbed to

It would stop Koeman himself making approaches however if we could show it was all done by agents / others then the case against him wouldn't stick Difficult clause to enforce a restrictive covenant and could only be applied to Koeman and not to Everton

Maybe it's his release clause for when Arsenal/Barca come calling that is holding things up As I am not sure Moshiri wants to pay 6+5 million for a 12 month manager

Because they are such a massive massive club and invented the dug out

Assuming of course his heart would be in it but would it?

Just how deluded Everton and the Liverpool Echo are, can be summed up by this article before Jose's Man U appointment from late May http://www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/everton-jose-mourinho-blues-could-11331038

Not so much of an issue now as it was in Poch's time as most of our current team now speak Dutch, Pourtogese Italian Spanish and French

Many big companies now have senior directors on three year rolling contracts rather than as per enact employees If they want to leave to a competitor in the middle of a three year contract both sides can agree to mutually terminate the contract or, if the company wants to, it can put the director on gardening leave till the contract runs out This is very much like a player/ manager situation You are right in that permeates employees have notice periods which generally increase as you get more senior Gardening leave is an option for companies in lieu of notice equally notice periods can get reduced if both parties agree

Woy snatches a Draw from the edge of victory with the wrong subs that is the view of Gray Keys Gullit and Andy Cole on BEin sports

It was because we sat back and invited pressure from a team that we had successfully kept far away from our area for most of the match Bringing on Milner and Wilshire did us no favors however the header by the Russian CB was brilliant as he hung in the air so well

He should have tried Rashford for Kane or at least Sturridge

I think it was a draw

Bringing on the old guard by Hodgson was asking for it Milner and Wilshire FFS He should have brought on Vardy or Rashford the Dier free kick saved him as Kane and Sterling were not up to it today
