Use our rumours form to send us everton transfer rumours.
22 Apr 2016 23:04:38
I'd have pellegrini all day long . anyone with he's experience has got to be a plus . we have funds now and we need a top manager who can motivate the best squad we have for a long time . i'm off to Wembley soon so I know we are not happy but let's get behind our team COYB.
22 Apr 2016 22:38:58
You all know I have said my fair share on here recently and I have had the heartache of my son regretting his decision to sell his ticket and also had to endure the ridiculous offers to replace it to no avail so I am really really exhausted!
I hope I can offer ALL us blues some hope here when I say this,
I truly believe we are going to go down there and win!
I haven't felt so confident about us for a long time but I can't remember a team EVER losing 2 domestic cup semi finals in the same season and we all know RM was one jammy B at Wigan!
Have heart lads, I know it's really hard but I am telling you, we will win tomorrow
Good luck to all the boys who are going down there and sing ya ****ing hearts out lads because WE ARE EVERTON FC x.
{Ed025's Note - love that pablo..
22 Apr 2016 22:49:58
Yeah mate. I sort of know what you mean. but its bloody hard to really believe!
22 Apr 2016 22:53:12
Well said, we cannot surely be as bad as on Wednesday and win or lose as long as they fight for the shirt then most on here will be satisfied.
Those travelling deserve commitment and courage from whoever he selects.
22 Apr 2016 22:43:33
From the heart Ed
Here's to a historic win for us
Enjoy ya day kidda.
{Ed025's Note - i will certainly try pablo...right back at you mate..
22 Apr 2016 21:54:47
Oh well butties dun an in the fridge, tickets out so don't forget, ale chilling ready for the minibus arriving at 8am. so why am I so bleedin miserable?
{Ed025's Note - the brass,s are more than you expected longy?.. :)
22 Apr 2016 22:05:26
Ha deffo, just does my head in Ed that I'm taking my 3 boys for their first Wembley outing and because of that fraud in charge they have mentioned what's in their picnic all night but said nothing about the footy.
{Ed025's Note - love it longy...you and the boys have a great time..whatever the result mate..
22 Apr 2016 21:16:45
I think with Bill in charge we are limited as to who we can have as manager if RM is to be relieved of his duties I done think he could control handle call it what you like but I don't think he has the personality to control a big name manager like JM or the likes I think with Bill in charge we will always get a yes man like RM so in my eyes bill needs to step down and let someone with a backbone take control before are club is run into the ground which we are not that far off at the moment.
{Ed025's Note - i think you make a fair point there skylark, but i hope moshiri will be a different kettle of fish mate..
22 Apr 2016 21:36:11
And just how long will we have to wait until moshiri takes control because until then we are in grave danger.
{Ed025's Note - not that long skylark, he will have a massive say on the new incumbent as he will be manager in his tenure mate..
22 Apr 2016 20:30:37
Good luck tomorrow Gents.
Despite your results, you are a proper proper club.
Smash the Mancs.
22 Apr 2016 20:44:08
Cheers dag, I'm not far from you mate just past Romford.
22 Apr 2016 21:52:00
Nice one Pb,
Mrs Dags drags me to 'The Brewery' every week :-)
22 Apr 2016 22:29:30
I know your pain mate, it's gone down hill a bit as well.
22 Apr 2016 22:48:27
Gone to the 'dogs' mate if you pardon the pun :-)
22 Apr 2016 20:25:33
Score Prediction for tomorrow?
I'd take a penalty shoot out after Wed night.
22 Apr 2016 21:18:35
3-0 to manutd sorry but my head is ruling my heart at the moment.
{Ed025's Note - i wish i could shout you down mate..
22 Apr 2016 20:04:33
What time are we all setting off tomorrow lads? I'm going down in a car and we're setting off at 10 but I'm not sure whether that's enough time.
{Ed025's Note - you should be ok jo, but there will be heavy traffic so i think a bit earlier would be better mate..
22 Apr 2016 20:38:03
Joe stop off at Corley services on m6 if you do it's half way point. When we drive back to Liverpool that's half way mate.
22 Apr 2016 20:38:53
Roads are a nightmare mate from 10am everyday down here so maybe an hr earlier. Just to be safe mate.
22 Apr 2016 20:48:56
Personally I would leave at 8.
22 Apr 2016 21:20:48
Thanks lads, I've agreed a 9am start. We are parking outside of London and getting the tube in I think.
22 Apr 2016 21:34:28
We've just got here, no major roadworks, just a 50mph zone for 20 mins. 9 should be sound mate.
{Ed025's Note - it will be a lot busier tomorrow morning oli and thats without any accidents..but cheers for the update mate..
22 Apr 2016 22:01:39
go to Stanmore, leave the car,
get the tube to Wembley.
have a great day out whatever the result.
22 Apr 2016 22:30:10
Hendon is close as well by train.
{Ed003's Note - Harrow as well, done it a few times park by the station and no hassle at Wembley - enjoy your days guys and girls.}
23 Apr 2016 07:42:45
Took us 3 hours so I'm thinking 6 hours with traffic.
22 Apr 2016 20:02:55
Id wager that those who are calling for Moyes' re-appointment (if Martinez is sacked) a man who after 10+ years with us said that we were holding good players back, are the same ones who would never consider Rafa Benitez for the job, when he said that we were a small club.
Long story short. Moyes = No tah, lad.
{Ed025's Note - a man after my own heart hugo..
22 Apr 2016 20:09:07
Short answer yes I would I would have Benitez but I would have him after Pelligrini, Moyes, Mourinio, I may have my facts wrong but I don't think Benitez has managed on little or no resources.
22 Apr 2016 20:39:37
Your first choice, Ed?
{Ed025's Note - pellegrini hugo, then bielsa...then our milkman..then david cameron, then any mass murderer...then moyes.. :)
22 Apr 2016 21:29:24
Love it Ed, mate, same here.
23 Apr 2016 00:28:55
Like it Ed, although I would swap Cameron and the mass murderer around. Cameron would be like replacing one bull S###er for another, at least the mass murderer option would motivate the lazy sods to play with more effort.
{Ed025's Note - thats my biggest bug bear you know wedge, i will have players who lack great skill but not players who dont give their all, its disrespective to the supporters and after the money some lay out each week to follow the team just not on mate..
22 Apr 2016 22:51:27
Good one that, Ed! Heard betting companies are giving 3/ 1 odds on the ghost of Ted Bundy being our next manager, so you might get lucky!
{Ed025's Note - well our confidence and team spirit have been victims this season hugo so i might put a few bob on that mate.. :)
22 Apr 2016 18:19:16
Hi Ed can you let Paul imp know I'll buy his tickets.
{Ed025's Note - i dont have his number smithy, the only way it can work is that paul and yourself will have to post me your phone number, which will be deleted before anyone sees it, and i will text one of you with the others number so that you can sort things out mate....i have just got your e-mail address liam and will pass it on to paul if he sends his details in..
22 Apr 2016 19:24:27
do you know its only train tickets, not match tickets?
22 Apr 2016 19:30:42
how do I send you my details ed025.?
{Ed025's Note - i have them now paul...or just send me your number and i will text you liams e-mail mate..
22 Apr 2016 20:50:11
come on bluenosesmith, just let us know if you want the train tickets, I have another person contacting me,
22 Apr 2016 17:53:27
Niasse to have major surgery tomorrow,
He is getting a bench removed from his arse.
22 Apr 2016 18:18:32
I like that :')
22 Apr 2016 18:20:21
Very droll.
22 Apr 2016 17:53:07
To state the obvious, Roberto Martinez is a dead man walking as Everton manager.
When he joined us, I was pleased - and even more so after his first season - but his second and third seasons have shown us going backwards, so he must be replaced.
By the time that David Moyes left, I had become disenchanted with his "knife to a gunfight" attitude. I was also very unhappy with the manner of how he left. However, I'd be content to see him come back and use the new investment to ensure he's no longer outgunned in matches against the wealthier sides.
I've no idea if DM would prove himself a winner second time around - and my initial backing for RM shows how poor my judgement is (! ) - but he'd surely do better with the players available to him than RM has these last two years.
Having said that, I'd be content with most of the other "names" being touted for Everton manager. I clearly don't know enough to be sure who'd be best for Everton.
What I no longer want - even with FA Cup success - is for RM to be kept on for next season.
22 Apr 2016 18:34:20
With money Moyes can win things and get us to Champs league, last time he did as well as could under the financial restraints he had.
He was my choice when Smith was sacked and is my choice now, it will take a couple of years to rebuild so give this great manager time, he is very underated by blue fans.
22 Apr 2016 19:24:42
I'm not sure how many people who post on here go to the game but the booing was there for Moyes most home games as well.
People used to scream at him for his constant defensive substitutions and him settling for draws instead of trying for the win.
That didn't change at his next two clubs and the reason he didn't win enough and got sacked. Twice.
He also couldn't attract players at Man United when he had money and before you say Mata, this was only because he was hated by Mourinho. If we put a bid in for him at the time we probably could have got him. He was desperate to leave.
We need new blood at the club. Not the dour Moyes who is defensive to the extreme or a Martinez who is the total opposite. We need someone who has bread winners and can also attract them.
{Ed025's Note - im with you john..
22 Apr 2016 19:33:02
Bred not bread. A loaf is definitely not needed.
{Ed025's Note - i was going to change that john..but thought butter of it.. :)
22 Apr 2016 19:37:52
Haha love it Ed.
{Ed025's Note - sorry john..could,nt resist it mate.. :)
22 Apr 2016 19:42:21
Where you at Moysey's last game John? Have you looked at his league finishing positions and he did it with a net profit on transfares a great over achiever.
You sound like a bitter blue because he went to Man United, I bet you hate Rooney to.
{Ed025's Note - listen guys..we dont do 1 to 1 arguments on here. you have both had your say now drop it please...cheers..
22 Apr 2016 19:58:24
Sorry to appear like Ed002 but the guy is a realist and by inclination so am I, my take on the Martinez situation is that it will take something far more catastrophic than an 11th place finish and two semi-final appearances to shift him. I like many others would like him gone but perhaps the board have fallen for the waffle of this is a Team in transition.
22 Apr 2016 21:29:08
Like everything in history Moyes has had his stint did fantastic and left us to move on, that failed as did his next venture, he is destined for Celtic, please do not try and turn the clock back it does not work! It didn't for the great Howard Kendall it will not for Moyes even with £100m.
Move on and look forward Not back!
There are loads of potentials out there please please open your eyes and your minds and stop being so insular, not Big Dunc not Rhino the world is full of talent let's discover it as so many other clubs do!
{Ed025's Note - i like your way of thinking wakka mate..
22 Apr 2016 17:46:43
How can we keep calling ourselves the peoples club if I board keep putting blind faith in Martinez, when it's so overwhelming that us supporters, us 'the people', are deeply upset with what is going on at our club? Never for a moment did I think we could head down the road of big clubs falling from grace, but the longer this goes on the more those thoughts enter my head. Don't let us go down the road of Villa, Leeds and too many others to name.
22 Apr 2016 16:25:07
anybody still making travel arrangements for tomorrow? still have 2 first class train tickets on tbe charter train organised solely for evertonians, I paid £220 for the pair, letting them go for half price, if anybody wants themselves a bargain.
22 Apr 2016 18:17:57
I'll have them Paul.
22 Apr 2016 19:25:47
it is just train tickets only, not match tickets, email me if still interested,
{Ed025's Note - i have both your details now paul so if liam confirms he wants them i will e-mail you his details..
22 Apr 2016 19:32:51
thsnks ed025.
{Ed025's Note - no probs mate
22 Apr 2016 19:37:36
you can pass him my phone number if you want,
{Ed025's Note - i will if he confirms he wants the TRAIN tickets paul mate
22 Apr 2016 19:45:25
maybe he thought they were match tickets, no reply, never mind.
{Ed025's Note - maybe paul, still time yet mate..
22 Apr 2016 14:29:36
What does everyone think about giving big Dunc a go!? Think he would be great!
22 Apr 2016 14:49:23
I couldn't agree more with you Blue , get rid of the fraud and let's get a real sense of unity in the team and beat the Mancs.
22 Apr 2016 14:52:38
Nah, stick with Lukaku :-)
22 Apr 2016 15:01:13
Blueblue.
Love him 'Icon' and all the other superlatives included!
I am afraid he doesn't tick enough boxes for me, so no thanks!
22 Apr 2016 15:11:46
I dissagree. As much as I loved as a player, I didn't see him making much of a difference on Wednesday night. He just sat there waiting for something to happen. How I would have loved him to get up out of his seat and give the players a snarl to get them going.
But nothing happened.
22 Apr 2016 16:03:14
Great player but no from me, we where doing well before he came back to us,
22 Apr 2016 16:05:59
not for me, great player but we where playing well before he came back, he is a nark.
22 Apr 2016 16:06:53
Not for me BB. Just because you're an icon at the club doesn't mean you can be a good manager.
Look at Stuart Pearce and Alan Shearer, legends at Forest and Newcastle but not good managers.
Maybe in a few years once he's shown if he can do it but I don't think he's ready yet.
22 Apr 2016 17:34:08
To be fair to Dunc by all accounts he's done good things since becoming a coach at the club. I would put any blame anywhere other than at Martinez's door.
For me I would prefer David to be put in charge until the end of the season but move Dunc up to assistant. Anyone that Martinez has brought with him I would put in the taxi with him.
Considering he has been helping the forwards and this has been an area that hasn't been a problem until the loss of confidence in the team.
For me that fact Unsy has been managing the U21's and not been coaching defensive duties and this Lawrence guy has been is utterly ludicrous.
I wonder if he has any input or if Stubbs did when he was U21's.

22 Apr 2016 18:43:29
Our display is nothing to do with Big Dunc but Lukakus emergence as a potent threat (when he gets the service) is. Should have brought Weir/ Stubbs back in as defensive coaches and everything would have been okay. Roberto is supposedly a nice man and I cannot dispute or agree with that but as a Manager in the Premiership his 7 years have been a failure. Anyway roll on tomorrow and hope for a miracle.
22 Apr 2016 14:04:19
A quick question if I may Eds and apologies if it's been asked before.
Do the club use this and similar sites/ forums to gauge the mood, attitde and opinions of the fans?
Thanks.
{Ed002's Note - Some clubs do monitor such matters - how the club is seen by the media, social media perception, forums like this, etc.. I am not aware if Everton do it but certainly quite a number of the EPL sides do. I have shown this site to several managers, players and ex-players over the years.}
22 Apr 2016 14:12:01
Thanks Ed.
{Ed002's Note - You are welcome.}
22 Apr 2016 14:03:32
I would just like to send my best wishes to those supporters who are going to Wembley tomorrow to hopefully watch the Blues win against United. I was at the old Wembley in both 1966 and 1995 and hope a little of my luck will rub off on you guys. We can do it COYB.
Mike.
22 Apr 2016 14:43:40
Thanks, let's hope the only banners on show are supportive of the whole club, no pitch invaders and give the club a good showing on tv. let's enjoy the day and hope for a win. Protests need to be left for another day. we are the peoples club, don't give the media a chance to put us down.
22 Apr 2016 12:51:34
It may be a little late in the day, but, Randy Lerner, has today come out and aceppted responsibility for what has gone wrong under his watch at A/ villa. Do you think Will Bill be makeing a similar statment any time soon?
He is, afder all, the world bigest evertonion.
22 Apr 2016 13:11:12
I don't think Bill has anything to answer for, we will see where he stands regarding Martinez at the end of the season.
22 Apr 2016 13:21:43
JCW .
Talks cheap mate! me I would settle for BK getting rid of the biggest threat to our club in a generation!
Then after an in depth meeting with certain shareholder (s) appoint a world class pragmatic manager who along with knowhow in K. O. football, can actually strategically plan and identify reqired tactics for the PL etc.
22 Apr 2016 14:04:54
Sorry but Bill was solely responsible for the appointment.
He drew up a short list of one an appointed him.
22 Apr 2016 15:41:12
He didn't publish details of every conversation he might have had with other possible managers. That doesn't mean he had a shortlist of one. Having said that, I agree that, it appears he was taken in by Bobby's bull and didn't look at the wider picture.
22 Apr 2016 16:52:16
when has any employer had a shortlist of one?
He was probably also swayed by his biggest supporter Dave Whelan who though he was the best thing since sliced bread!
22 Apr 2016 17:23:26
I thought stubbs, weir and big Dunc were all interviewed from within the club, and Rm, ralf rangnick and vitor pereira from elsewhere, Rm getting the 2nd interview and the job?
22 Apr 2016 12:39:17
Just getting a few things together ready for the trip down south tomorrow and have this horrible feeling of being like a condemned man getting ready to go to the gallows.
It shouldn't be like this, a trip down to Wembley is normally a joyous occasion.
God I hope we pull something out of the bag tomorrow, I've never felt so down about my beloved Blues.
22 Apr 2016 11:42:51
Delay
You can always pop in to my gaff.
Old post office, school lane, behind primark by the bluecoat.
Only small but good atmosphere, funny banter with bar staff and great food. I would say that. I'm the chef. hahaha.
22 Apr 2016 11:52:59
Degsy. Not delay. stupid auto correct.
22 Apr 2016 11:03:12
Koeman the man for me only one left of his contract says waiting until end season to make decision on future people will say why would he leave Southampton for us but he will have a big budget at Everton if we believe what we are being told not much chance of that at the saints every manager wants to test themselves what's your thoughts ed.
{Ed002's Note - Koeman won't be joining Everton.}
22 Apr 2016 11:16:48
How can you be sure who are your top 3 then.
{Ed002's Note - Two other clubs want Koeman next summer - and he is aware of that. I have explained who I think Everton will be interested in should they decide to make a change - you need to look through the posts.}
22 Apr 2016 11:26:58
Ed do you no something we don't how can you say that when koeman has said nothing you are entitled to your opinion like the rest of us but you no no more than the rest if iam wrong tell us your source.
{Ed002's Note - Ok - Mourinho and Koeman it is then.}
22 Apr 2016 11:47:21
So you admit yo have no idea who it maybe I never mentioned mourinio because he is a unrealistic target but koeman defiantly is you think we should be in for clement who was sacked by derby next you will be telling us we will be lucky to get Bruce mclaren or alladyce if you carnt be positive ed don't say nothing.
{Ed002's Note - Firstly, Everton has a manager. Should that change I have explained in detail what some of the likely options are. Perhaps you could find someone to read those posts to you slowly. Clearly you know nothing whatsoever of any potential candidates. It is nothing to do with being positive or not - I am simply telling you what I know. If you don't like it - don't read anything with Ed002 next to it and don't than embarrass yourself by bleating and moaning like some prepubescent schoolgirl.}
22 Apr 2016 14:57:11
Bit out of order ed002 people are just interested to find things out so we apologise for asking the same question more once but we all want the same thing and that's a new manager or a winning team again which ever comes first.
{Ed002's Note - I have no idea what you are talking about Konehead.}
22 Apr 2016 11:02:59
To degsy and coyb never in the history of football have sothhampton been a better proposition than everton football club no matter how much money they haveThey have finished higher than us for 2 seasons due to bad mamagment how many times in the last 10 years have they finished higher than us . We to have new investment which will enable us to move forward . They have low attendances and crap away support while we have decent gates and sell out are away ends everywhere we go we are a much bigger brand than them we actually have a history . plus the intensity in a footballing city like ours with local rivals makes us a great prospect for a manager who wants to build something . you will be telling me next that Leicester are a better club than man utd city an Chelsea. would like to no if I am the only blue who thinks this.
22 Apr 2016 11:18:07
I agree.
22 Apr 2016 14:59:11
You're ignoring the fact that the guy is already in position at Southampton. I haven't claimed that they are bigger or better than us. Faced with a choice between us and Southampton two years ago, when he left Feyenoord, I would have expected him to choose Everton. Now, he's in a job where he's built a reputation that will potentially land him an even bigger job next year. To come to us he would have to tie himself in to a 3-5 year contract, move his family (and staff he wants to bring with their families - his brother is a coach at Southampton) to the other end of the country, start again getting to know people, systems, players, club managers and directors, get involved (hopefully) with plans for a new stadium, etc. For what? We used to win trophies back in the day? We have more fans? It's not worth it for him. He's better placed to further his career by staying till the end of his contract with them rather than start again at a club with obvious problems. Southampton are not bigger or better - it's just that we're not that much of a better prospect for him at this time.
22 Apr 2016 16:51:22
Coyb, he inherited a good setup from pochettio who moved while stil under contract so koeman hasn't built all himself. his strengths are getting the best from his players something Rm can't do. As for moving his family what kind of argument is that we will be looking at managers from all over the place who all have families who what have to move any manager coming in will want at least a 3 year contract so that's no different to anyone . The guy has 1 year on his contract why should we not try and steal a march on our rivals and get in first. tell us who you think we should go for?
23 Apr 2016 08:00:24
I'm aware that koeman had a great setup inherited from Pochettino. Still, he's done well enough from that point that we're agreed he would be a good appointment for Everton. My point is that for him, the move is not enough of a step up to justify the disruption to him and his family when he already knows there well be better offers next year: clubs who can almost guarantee European football every year with big fan bases just like us. However optimistic we all are about our new investor, we can't promise Europe and certainly not champs league. There will still be at least 6 clubs able to outspend us for the foreseeable future and we have to factor in the cost of a new ground when all of those 6 are ahead of us on that. I've said several times that my choice would be Lucien Favre, who did amazing things at Monchengladbach or Gourvennec from Guingamp. I would love Mourinho, Simeone, Allegri, Emery, Pochettino, Bilic or Koeman but they're unrealistic targets for us. I have real doubts about Pellegrini even if we could get him: his teams - like us - are too open. We need to look for the up and coming Klopp or Allegri - someone with hunger, vision, good technical knowledge and who is looking for a project to make their mark.
{Ed025's Note - good post that mate..
22 Apr 2016 10:14:38
:MARTINEZ SACKED
thats what i'm looking for every 30 mins since wednesday. no more looking, let's GET BEHIND THE TEAM FOR SATURDAY. MY DAUGHTERS 18TH SO WIN LOSE OR DRAW i'm GETTING P****D.
22 Apr 2016 12:31:03
We will win Saturday, prima donnas will bust a gut to get a medal on their cv before. Looking for the greener grass on the other side, your daughter will have a great 18th Birthday, pride will be restored at Wembley, forget the league, players are simply not playing for Bobby, but just wait and see a different Everton Tomorrow.
22 Apr 2016 09:53:40
Whatever happens on Saturday, I'd like to see RM big enough to resign saying he's not good enough to lead Everton, not that he ever was.
22 Apr 2016 10:13:34
Won't happen.
22 Apr 2016 09:09:42
Is it bad that a few of the players are coming out defending RM? Would the board see this and not want to risk squad harmony?
22 Apr 2016 09:24:02
Squad Harmony Hugo?
This idiots produced an entire squad of gutless, spineless whimps and what the hell if they don't like him being sacked then they know where the exit door is.
ALL OF THEM IN THE BLOODY COMFORT ZONE! No wonder they support him.
Sorry Hugo rant over, it just hit a raw nerve mate!

Dark days, but if you want a laugh,
'Harry Enfield Wembley' on You Tube.
1st Half Martinez leads out a set of Gentlemen (Lambs to the slaughter) .
Half Time Martinez sacked
Second half Big Duncan takes over!
Well worth a look.

What?

Sad thing is he will not get the sack mate, but if and a big if, we would get Moyes, that would be a step backwards, Bill likes yes men, Mourinho and Bill would never work, Bills moto, I AM KING.

Here's a puzzler, imagine if RM had got us top 4-5 every season and European football and had been deemed a good successful manager, then Barcelona come calling, do you think he would give us a second thought while packing his bags to go?

What manager would stay. It's the biggest job in club football. The great HK did exactly that with a lesser Spanish club after winning the league.

To my knowledge and I offer my apologies to the man if I am wrong but I don't think Mr Martinez ever admitted he was responsible for taking Wigan down. That said he walked out (we even paid Wigan compensation) on Wigan for us, no doubt he would walk out on us for Barcelona. Having said that if his current record is not enough for Everton's board to ask for his resignation then what is.

is there a better manager than moyes to replace martinez? not many. i'd go for benitez if newcastle was relegated (that hurts) , but moyes is a good choice.

Would agree dazzling. My thought on Benitez originally were a definite NO, for reason referring to Everton as a small club years ago. My feelings have changed and worth considering.
To add, Someone earlier listed 10 players expected to be leaving this summer by being out of contract or transfer. Whoever comes in will need a very large transfer chest to attract the quality needed or to promote from within. Is Benitez a manager to give youth a chance, as I can't remember what he did at Liverpool.

We won't have to worry about money to spen this summer. Without Moshiri we were sitting on 100 million. Add to that his promise of player investment add to that player trading if those quoted as leaving do leave it won't be on the cheap. So with those three combined I think the club can afford to ring fence enough to replace and build with good quality.
I think the biggest problem will be getting the right manager.

Vote of confidence?
Where Degs?
22 Apr 2016 08:39:45
I think he will stay until the end of the season regardless of what happens on Saturday. Let's face it, he can't do anymore damage can he? Well, only to our blood pressure! As you said Degs, no news is good news and the silence speaks volumes. He knows he is going IMO.

I would think one reason he has not been sacked by now is that if they loose in the semi and had been sacked, then some supporters would turn on the board for sacking him at that time. If they do loose with him in charge then can justify more for sacking. If they win then can say their decision was justified. A case of who takes the blame.
