But we have pushed on to Europa.

Zing.

Everton first made contact with Koeman when, then? February?

43 whole goals in a 34 game season. Turgid. Also, looks like Mark Robins. Lucky escape avoiding this clown and no mistake.

Not sacking him at that point was quite a good move. Some Chairmen might have done that. Drink it in.

I've Wikipedia'd him. Reads like a Bavarian Gary Megson.

Have you just made him up? Good name. I will now Wikipedia him.

Personally I was demanding we offer him seven million quid a year for the next five years back on New Years Day, just after we lost to Norwich to charge up to 13th.

It won't be any of them. It will be someone with European experience. It will be a highly sought after job and we'll get someone of genuine quality but not ridiculously expensive - De Boer and AVB seem almost perfect profile (basically the kind of people you'd expect, say, Everton to go for). Or some other European egg-head manager I haven't heard of, like our old friend Pochettino.

Such lovely hair.

Drink it in. Drink it in. It's your time.

Also reveals a heck of a lot of the "ambition" Leicester were apparently showing when they tied down Vardy to that long contract about five minutes ago.

Enjoy your champagne moment. it's been a long time coming.

That's why Kleber Chala was so good for us. Give it a rest with your poncho wearing speedy Gonzales jumping bean corned beef hash rainforest football. Mick Mccarthy for me please.

Would people have preferred Palace and Stoke to finish 12 or 20 points ahead of us and Everton poaching Hughes or Pardew and we keep Koeman or the situation we have now? Asking for a friend on death row currently making a similar choice.

Has AVB signed yet?

We won two matches in that tournament and one of those was against bloody Scotland.

Les Reed has stated over and over and over again what the club's aim is, and it is currently being delivered on. I'm looking forward to seeing us in Europe come September.

It's also a pointless requirement. Our last four managerial appointments all had zero affinity to the club, none, and they all did great.

Round about now Alpine Toffee on Evertonweb is having a right meltdown. WHY CAN'T WE CLOSE A DEAL FFS etc etc etc

He has not not met representatives from Everton.

A container of amphibians.

AVB's track record is country miles ahead of Koeman's. On any measure he's better.

Would be delighted with AVB. I'm ready to bid that Dutch bloke a hearty fu ck off. We march on.

I've never even thought that Eddie Howe was a skate - did he play for them then? If I am honest, apart from Redknapp walking back through the door, there isn't any high profile football person I would not want at the club because he is a "skate". David Nugent maybe if he suddenly became a manager. Avram. I'm struggling. Let's not be tinpot about this.
