You know what gets me about clubs like Everton?
They finish eighth so that's just about where they should be.
Unless they have a phenomenal season it is very unlikely they would finish above Man City, Man Utd, Liverpool, Spurs, Arsenal and Chelsea.
Not too sure what the fans expect there to be honest.
Probably want a little more exciting football. Personally, I'd rather finish 12th playing an entertaining brand of football than 8th playing a boring style of play. Not getting continental play either way, so I'd rather be entertained. Nearly fell asleep during every Everton match I watched.
As for West Ham, surprised they sacked him since they finished 12th. But he also had a poor record. Only winning at a 29% clip. Which is worse than the previous three managers and about the same as Zola when he was there. I think they would have been in the bottom third of the table again. I wonder if Moyes will be able to get another top flight job.
Mich, I can see Moyes turning up at Everton again. Some months ago Everton seemed to think that they just had to click their fingers and Nuno would come running - unbelievable cheek! Why would he want to step down there?
Sam Allardyce was always on a hiding to nothing at Everton, he helped them to a respectable eight finish in the Premier League. His football isn't always pleasing on the eye, but so what. It wasn't all that under Ronald Koeman, hence why the club sacked him. Both West Ham and Everton need to be careful what they wish for.
Stronger linked to Everton again i see the name of Marco Silva. There seems to be some legal battle going on between Everton and Watford over their approach last season, Silva was eventually sacked.
Both Everton and West Ham seem to want to see better, flowing football that's pleasing on the eye. They don't always get what what they want.
Another manager is now out of work, Paul Lambert has left Stoke by 'mutual consent'.
That could be Lamberts last big pay day, can’t see him getting another high level appointment.
