Faz Posted 7 June, 2016 Share Posted 7 June, 2016 I'm Sorry, I feel I have to reply on behalf of my Everton friend. You clearly don't understand the history of our club. Let me enlighten you with a few of the many facts about Everton. * Founder members of the Football League in 1888 * Founder members of the Premier League in 1992 * First club presented with the League Championship trophy * First club to be presented with League winners medals * First club to stage an FA Cup Final in 1894 * First English club to go on an overseas tour in 1905 * First club to build a purpose-built football stadium * First club to have a four-side stadium with two-tier stands * First club to have a stadium with a three-tier stand * First club to issue a regular match programme * First club to have a player score 60 league goals * First club to wear numbered shirts, 1-11 in 1933 * First club to install dugouts * First club to install floodlights * First club to install under soil heating * First club to play 4,000 top-flight games * First club to amass 5,000 league points * First club to play 100 seasons in the top flight * First British club to stage a World Cup semi-final * Have been in the top division of English football longer than ANY other side There are more trivial ones I could quote and I haven't mentioned titles or cups but you get the picture. This club has more History than any other club in the country and Everton fans are rightly proud of this fact. So to compare us to the likes of Wolves and Burnley is misguided and foolish. I will admit that the love of that history combined with 30 years of frustration and over excitement has led to some ill advised, condescending and downright nasty comments by some of my fellow supporters, but I am sure you will agree there has been an equal amount of vitriol on behalf of some of the Southampton fans. We all love our clubs and we want what's best for them but there is no need to turn it into a hate campaign. To clear up some other points made on this forum regarding the so called "ambition" of the club. As I see it, a site on the Mersey waterfront has been identified for a 55/60,000 seater stadium which with Everton's large fan base it will fill, together with a massive improvement in corporate revenue (which is nearly non existent at Goodison) and stadium naming rights will massively increase revenue for the club to be able to compete at a much higher level financially. Obviously the biggest resource is the fan-base and the new stadium. As for poaching managers, that's football. It happens. Personally I hope he doesn't go back for any of your players, Its not that they aren't any good but just that we would have to pay vastly over inflated prices. finally, before you say it, no I don't have a job as I am retired after working for the same company for 30 years. I went to my first match in 1971. Pompey identified a site on Farlington Marshes for a new stadium in 1991. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesaint sfc Posted 7 June, 2016 Share Posted 7 June, 2016 What a strange move. Everton have long been another Aston Villa in the prem for me. They're there, but easy to forget about. I feel the board have done more than enough to prove their capability in keeping this club moving in the right direction so feel that this was more on our terms than the media like to make out. I think we want long term commitment from everyone at the club hence the recent contract extensions of VVD and forster. I think Mane and Wanayama will be signing contract extensions or be following Ron out the door and I feel pretty positive that for once I genuinely believe it's the boards way or no way. They couldn't have done much more to prove this. Looking forward to see who comes in as a replacement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point lad. Anyway, chuffed with Koeman - any arguments over who's bigger aside, it's still a bit of a coup for us considering that over the past two seasons we've finished 11th. But the new majority shareholder/owner has shown his intent and gone and got the man he wanted. As for your mob, pretty sure you'll be there and there abouts next year again.

broncoboy Posted 7 June, 2016 Share Posted 7 June, 2016 Blue in peace here lads. Koeman will be confirmed tomorrow by all reliable accounts. Talks have been held up due to your end dragging their heels. It seems you were confident Ron would stay in spite of our interest and have spent the last few days approaching managerial targets and working out compensation terms, which is understandable given the narrative that Everton couldn't take Southampton's manager. Preventing player poaching might not be a great concern for you. Granted, there are one or two that Koeman might want to take along, but the appointment of a DoF and the new owner's own targets mean it's unlikely you'll loose too many. I suppose your biggest concern could be Forster. It's unlikely we'll take VvD unless we sell Stones, which we'll only do if there's an offer significantly in excess of £40m. Hopefully this won't sour relations between the two clubs too much in the future. I think it's natural that Koeman would want to take the next step and, like at Feyenoord, he will hopefully be remembered as doing great stabilising work with your club as you we transition from feeder club to a solid PL outfit. Great progress, really, and your board should be commended. We don't care what you think . You are an Everton supportter we don't care about your club or your managers Yup we all know an Iranian billionaire is the secret of success. Good luck with the Iranian good luck with Koeman.

ooh it's a corner Posted 7 June, 2016 Share Posted 7 June, 2016 Once in every generation, Everton give you a reason to hate them, just a little bit more than their big city rivals. For my Dad, it was about Bailey. Heck I even joined in with a chorus of "We hate Bailey and we hate Bailey", without even knowing who he was, or why we hated him. For me. Adrian Heath. Nothing more needs to be said. It's been a while coming, but for my children, this episode should be enough to look with a vague interest at the Everton results next year and cheer, each and every time they lose. No bitterness, just the wonderful pantomime that is football. (and whatever happened to John Bailey?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

derry Posted 7 June, 2016 Share Posted 7 June, 2016 and floodlights - its wasnt even them, it was Sheffield. I thought the first floodlit game was at the Dell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guan 2.0 Posted 7 June, 2016 Share Posted 7 June, 2016 With respect, outside of Everton FC (I.e. its supporters), no one gives a f*ck (and I'm not saying that to be cruel/petty). And I'm not sure you could get more trivial than that list anyway....dugouts At any rate, Koeman hasn't signed for any of the reasons you listed, so it's something of a mute point. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TUq8dSOqWkw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord Duckhunter Posted 7 June, 2016 Share Posted 7 June, 2016 I've always loved Liverpool as a city , and have met some decent Everton supporters , and I'm not going to change my mind just because a few I don't know and will never meet post anonymously on a football forum . Same with Ron , I'm not going to start saying he was shiete just because he's left us. Personally I thought he was exactly what we needed 2 summers ago and suited our club . We were good for each other. Tactically I thought he was pretty flexible, certainly more so than Poch. I liked the back 3 , particularly play Ryan B in there, which many didn't see coming . I did get the feeling he was as intense as he should of been and sometimes we drifted in games . Nowhere near as good football as Poch side, but you can't argue with his 7th and 6 t h finish . I did wonder ( and posted before) if he was Laudrap like and it would all come to a head one day . Will it work at Everton ? Im not so sure, but after Claudio , predicting how managers do is a mugs game . One thing I'd certain , it's gonna be tough to break the top 4 next season . Liverpool , Chelsea utd, will be better .

Dig Dig Posted 7 June, 2016 Share Posted 7 June, 2016 The entire history of Everton in my lifetime involved relegation fights with us in the 90's, Kevin Campbell, the Moyes era and then them crying about Martinez for two years.

saintwbu Posted 7 June, 2016 Share Posted 7 June, 2016 I hope Ron gets a good reception when he returns, afterall who wouldn't want to manage the first club to install under soil heating and dugouts? :lol: :lol: :lol: surely one of the greatest ever posts on this forum and it didn't even come from one of us!!

devo999 Posted 7 June, 2016 Share Posted 7 June, 2016 No one cares how big you are. **** off. See..... You try to be polite, but there are morons on any forum. I was replying to that particular poster who was comparing Everton to Burnley, Wolves and Blackburn. The point about the floodlights should have been more specific. It was Stand Floodlights. OH and by the way there is a lot of gloating on here about you squeezing £5 Million out of Everton for Koeman. The figure is £2.5 million for Koeman and £1.5 for his brother and the fitness coach =£4 Million Have a nice day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toadhall Saint Posted 7 June, 2016 Share Posted 7 June, 2016 So to all the Everton fans that have happened across this site - realistically where do you see your club in 5 years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
S-Clarke Posted 7 June, 2016 Share Posted 7 June, 2016 The fact they have to bring up points such as ''first ever match programme'' ''invention of corner flags'' kinda makes them seem very small time. I didn't think it was possible, but I actually have a little, tiny, inchy bit less hate for your mega-mates across the park. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a saints forum not toffeeweb or whatever the hell your forum is called. Go back on there and talk about floodlights. Absolutely no one here gives a shiny one about boring old Everton.

blueefc Posted 7 June, 2016 Share Posted 7 June, 2016 Hey lads, seen a lot of you posting on Everton forums talking about the size of the clubs, stepping down and whatnot. I'm not interested in the petty babble but I did want to know what you think of Koeman overall? He's done a good job with you, established you firmly in the top ten, although that's certainly under threat if you don't replace him with the right manager. I was wondering what you'll think he'll do for us? He's under similar conditions with Everton really, except for a substantial transfer budget, better core of players and a stronger ability to attract top talent. Thanks.

aintforever Posted 7 June, 2016 Share Posted 7 June, 2016 yeh we're tiny. Those 9 league titles just don't match up to your Johnston's Paint tilt :/ Best of luck for next season, in all seriousness. Good club, turns out some of the fans are just as bitter as anybody elses (though I include Everton in that as well). Never said you didn't have history, just that you are Sh!te. As in the current team are not very good at playing football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
