The big man, the boss; Big Sam

I can definitely see him getting the shortest thrift of any manager I can remember. A few dodgy results, a few shite negative performances, a few boos at home....before it starts. The only difference with him is he's so arrogant he'll probably not be able to hide his disdain that the fans are questioning his methods or turning so early and he'll go on the front foot to counter it, making it worse. Of course I may be wrong but I feel it's not just his football but his character which won't endear him to Evertonians.

Koeman had the respect of fans though for the majority of his time here due to his achievements in the game. So to a certain degree fans accepted his arrogance as they thought his decisions were coming from decades of knowledge and experience at the highest level. It was only when he blatantly lost the players and the plot that things unravelled pretty quickly. I don't see Sam getting cut the slack he did from the start as he's achieved nothing but acts quite the opposite.

Koeman had a red Christmas tree, he couldn't be trusted

I am not getting in too much of a funk about Sam coming in, as I remember how chuffed I was to see we had brought Koeman in.

Hopefully Sam coming in is the footballing equivalent of Heath Ledger being announced as the Joker.

Really struggling with it tbh. I'll try my best not to piss and moan for the next 6 months but it won't be easy.

Club really must be aware how this is being perceived to put stuff like that on the OS.

Also Moshiri speaking about it extensively suggests a recognition that this is at worst deeply unpopular, or at best incredibly divisive.

Moshiri couldn't say the word 'stabilise' enough. He might as well have said 'look i don't want him either but it'll do for now, and I'll get someone better as soon as I can'

Now we know why the club took so long to announce it... they were collating all of these positive soundbites to counter our ire

Haha, didn't see this before I posted above.

Great minds, @Bluedylan
