Hi folks further to my posts below, i would just like to add, that the likes of Klopp, Mourinio Wenger and Pep etc all hate the type of manager we now have on board at Everton, why because of the experience Big Sam has, he knows how to get something out of these so called no win no draw games, how dare we take points off these mighty clubs, you just have to see Klopp spitting his dummy out after the Derby what a cheek we have to take something out of the game at Anfield, well I say to all these so called Know It All Managers what out boys because we are coming to get you and you WONT like it, we have been crying out for someone like Big Sam to come in and I can't wait to see what happens when he has a bit of cash to spend in January, Big Sam is now at the Biggest Club of his long career, and I want to be on board for the ride, believe me these so called top managers will rue the day Big Sam arrived at Everton, we are so lucky to have him.

Wow Guernsey that little rant certainly got my heckles up. I have not yet read your post below but I hope you are right.

Cheers degsy mate, there has been so much negativity on here, so I though credit where credit is due, and say it as it is on the tin mate, so let's all be Happy this festive season and wallop the big boys.

This may sound harsh GB, but SA is doing exactly what I thought he would do, it’s just a surprise that he’s managed to achieve it so quickly when Koeman and Rhino struggled.
I’m not saying I’m not pleased with the turnaround it’s just that i'm not surprised.
What will surprise me though is if he adopts a more exciting style of play as he’s always been about safety. And if he does get us playing good football whilst keeping us tight at the back then he’s got my unwavering support.
Let’s all hope he does.

Good on ya GuernseyBlue. I'm firmly with you on this. As you say big Sam shows the passion. He is genuinely grateful to be at Everton. Despite the negativity he got in recent years I believe Sam deserves this chance.
The biggest and best chance he has got in his career to show what he can do. He'll be a success and fair play to him.

As I pointed out earlier. remember Big Sam bought Jay Jay Okotcha and Ivan Campo to name 2 wonderful footballers at Bolton. he may build a base/ foundation. but he is not afraid of good footballers. He will sign some creative people too. If we had got Pulis in I would agree with the posts. Big Sam has an undeserved reputation for boring football. In reality he lays a foundation and then sorts out the creative side.

Good football is meaningless without a solid base, a strong foundation and the players who have confidence in the manager and want to play for hm.

Fat Sams achievements at Bolton are very much understated.
When the Reebok stadium first opened I was living in Horwich ( by the way we were the first away team to play there ) and have followed fat Sams career ever since. We are without doubt the biggest club he has ever had the privilege to manage and as such I think both he and his team will move heaven and earth to make a success of it.
He knows he has so much history that could possibly show him in a negative light and that too will motivate him to bury it all by being a success with us.
It is no secret that I have supported him since before his appointment, I remember mentioning his name in live chat even when RK was in charge. I honestly believe he will get us into Europe on a regular basis.
Do I believe he is the right manager for us? .
Of course I do.
{Ed001's Note - he also knows it is his big chance, which is why he wanted the longer contract when he had said to other enquiries he would only want to manage until the end of the season. His plan had been to take short term jobs of rescuing clubs from relegation and then having a break, before the next short term rescue job came along. Everton were looking to him to do exactly that, but he knew this was a chance he would never get again, so he wanted another season, believing he would be able to do enough to earn another contract in that time.}

It makes you think Ed001 if he see's it as maybe his last chance.
{Ed001's Note - I think he does and he is probably right, there is not going to be another team in such a unique position in the near future.}

Good summary Ed001. Exactly how I look at the game Blue-tit in that post so obviously agree. Good times ahead.

He will make a go of this, this is the best thing for Big Sam since sliced bread lol.
