[News]Allardyce appointment marks new low point in Everton history

[sirblue57]

It means exactly that as there is no truth in it whatsoever anymore

Gave that a like by mistake.
Of course it's not.meaningless if the supporters believe it means something, the board is not the club,  they are custodians , because they have failed to uphold the principles of the motto does not make it irrelevant.
What it means is the board have failed in their duty. But then again they have failed in so many things
The supporters believe in NSNO, it's why we follow the club with such passion and belief , we are expecting the motto to be lived up to on and off the pitch, and we are constantly disappointed by players , managers  and board.

If you believe the motto is meaningless, I feel sorry for you, as you have not understood what it is to be an evertonian.

People might think I'm a bit daft here, but I'm actually looking forward to seeing if Allardyce can make anything of a difference. I've got to say though; "I hate the idea of Sammy Lee coming in as his number two".

I've always considered Sammy Lee as a number two mate.. a big steaming one

I've always considered Sammy Lee as a number two mate.. a very small round but pungent ,steaming one

How romantic.

Meanwhile Everton appoint Sam Allerdyce proving that Nil Satis Nisi Optimum is just an old saying with no substance.

That you bill?

As I said. The BOARD may not live up to the.motto, or the players.
But to the SUPPORTERS it means something.

I cannot explain it any simpler.

[sirblue57]

If the motto meant anything would we really have employed;
Koeman. No
Martinez. No
Moyes.   No
Walker.  No
Lee .  No

None of these appointments had the Everton ethos, though Moyes did try to get it.
Big Sam is the latest in a long long line of appointments that show the lack of ambition the board have. Fucking amateur .

If you find comfort in it, if it makes you feel all warm and fuzzy, brilliant.

But for me who has never seen the club win fuck all whilst constantly make a mess of everything, they are just words that are on our badge.

To be fair if Kendall hadn’t played for us, he wouldn’t have fit the motto based on his managerial career to date.

Got to admit I properly cringe when fans quote the clubs motto in a discussion as if it makes them a superior supporter.

Comes across really high and mighty.

Ha. And I've yet to see a club who's motto is "let's just shoot for mid table mediocrity".

[arteta4spain]

Martinez and Koeman were shit appointments we just didn't know it at the time, it's be really Everton for the shit appointment to end up being our best manager in years.

You know what, Everton that. It really wouldnt surprise me. Has Allardyce been appointed into struggling team before the Jan window? I’d be interested to see, with the clout we’ve got to see who he’d go for.

Yes Sunderland and Palace.

The only two jobs where he’s actually been brought in to save teams.

Mentioned the other day that he generally bought younger players than you’d have thought.

He was brought in to save Blackburn from Paul Ince too.

Wasn’t as a specialist though?

That’s why he bristles against the description.
