I wouldn't take a massive salary cut if Messi didn't either otherwise you are essentially funding his salary with your own. Messi might miss Barca but he left because his career is more important and he's now thinking of what he's going to do when that career ends because let's be honest he...

That was his preferred formation before coming to Everton but he played 4-2-3-1 almost every game for us because it suited the players we had. I think he will adapt to what he has. His style is exactly the style Barca fans expect their team to be playing. He's pretty uncompromising when it...

I think Rodgers is also an excellent coach but so is Martinez. One thing for certain is that he's far superior to Koeman. Everton were just badly hit with injuries and aging players after his first season but we played great football for that first season.

Not likely as it's looking like Nuno Espirito Santo will be our new coach who ironically fills me with less excitement than Potter.

Is strawman your favorite word. It was literally a conversation who would replace Ancelotti at Everton on an Ancelotti thread and now you want to pretend Everton was never part of it. Ok. Here's another term for you. Gaslighting.

You said you would prefer Potter over Dyche but when I gave you the reasons why he also wouldn't be a good fit either and gave you who I thought would be better i.e. Dunc that's when you also defended him and it became a question not just who was better between Potter and Dyche but wider who...

Sadly we have already tried.

Missed this. In the 1980s Everton and Liverpool were two of the best clubs in England and probably in Europe however it's harder to say because back then only the champions and cup winners played in the European competitions. Unfortunately in the season when Everton won the league and European...

No that is what you want the question to be because you've made yourself look an idiot by your arrogance thinking you know what Everton should want in a manager instead of an actual supporter of that club. This was the comment you replied to saying you would choose Potter if it was between the...

I have no problem if you like Potter and think he's a good coach. He probably is but this a question of whether he's right for Everton so the fans do matter. It's your opinion that doesn't matter.

There's no way you have seen a lot of games Potter has managed and you mentioned his style first not me. All I was trying to do was say why basing a managerial appointment on style isn't probably the best thing to do when selecting a manager for Everton. Everton fans will either get behind a...

You then went on to list his achievements and asked who I wanted. I think you made it pretty clear. Plus and as I said your reason had nothing really to do with Potter but the style Potter plays. I'm saying when it comes to Everton that's faulty logic. Players aren't attracted to football teams...

How is it a straw man you idiot. You are saying Everton should hire Potter and then went on to list his "achievements" when the reality is you have just read a few articles and watched a couple of games or even just highlights of his Brighton team and how they play progressive football and...

I doubt we will have to wait that long. I think the point this guy just won't accept is the fans don't want to watch possession based football. They want to get back to aggressive fast football like what we played when we were one of the best clubs in Europe. We've tried the modern Barca way and...

Are you for real. You were arguing why he would be a good appointment for Everton and mentioned his experience in Sweden. If you weren't comparing it to the EPL and thereby relevant then why didn't you also mention his social studies degree from the Open University or his time with the Ghana...
