yeeeoooo
Everton manager Ronald Koeman is Sacked | Koeman: "I'm not impressed"

In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik @Rood and Imran @Annihilate Now! start with the good news by celebrating Manchester United Women's emphatic FA Cup win over Spurs at Wembley and the future of manager Marc Skinner.
Then it's the bad news and the ever worsening form of our Men with losses to Arsenal and Palace.
Finally the main debate - ETH Out now or keep him until the end of the season - if not longer. Are you Team Nik or Team Imran?
Weird and dumb transfer dealings haven't helped his cause for sure.
Facing Manchester City, Manchester United, Chelsea, Tottenham and Arsenal in their first 9 matches is what's done him over though. Other than the last 10 weeks, he's had three very decent full seasons managing in England.
After he got fired at AZ Alkmaar in 2009 I thought he was a parody on a football manager. Nearly pissed myself laughing when Feyenoord signed him, but against my expectations he actually did a wonderful job there. Got his extra experience managing in the Premier League.
Next stop is probably the Dutch national team. They've been so shit the last three years he definitely can't do any worse there.

From BBC HYS:
Not believing this until the Mail confirm it.
Give it Rooney.
From BBC HYS:
Rooney's signing had a great impact on the manager.
Wonder how this will affect his plans for the Barcelona job?
Really hope Everton aren’t stupid enough to go back to Moyes - actually in many ways I do, but the principle of the same old managers constantly failing and being rewarded with big-ish jobs needs to die. Get some new blood into the league.

Don't think the Everton board were impressed with him...
If we take Moyes I will have to seriously think about whether football is the right sport for me anymore.
Would you not even take him interim until you get relegated?
We fired Moyes much sooner than they did Koeman.
I'm guessing Duncan Ferguson or the u23 manager will come in?
To be fair Rooney has been good for them. Scored goals for them which none of their other strikers were capable off.
Too soonFrom BBC HYS:
Hopefully Barkley will stay now and lead us to safety. The one true king.
we won't go down. We will finish around 10th. Unsworth has performed very well but it would be a gamble. It's a shame that someone like Ancelotti would be out of our reach and there isn't a manager in the bracket below him who'd be readily available currently.
Reporter - ''Ronald, Why have you got the sack from Everton ?''
Koeman - '' I wasn't impressed by Manchester United.''

Get Brendan Rodgers in to heap further misery on Klopp and Liverpool 
Brings joy to my ears
Watched a few Everton games this season and they have looked absolutely awful and totally clueless going forward.
Lets see if a change of coach can bring them up the table.

Ancelotti must be wondering when he will ever be able to switch his phone back on.
Rooney's got this ease of sacking Dutch managers it seems.
To be fair they've had a rotten schedule. They would have stayed up regardless. More moronic behavior from club owners (who don't get enough scrutiny).
Hence my support for initiatives like the Rooney Rule.
Poor excuse imo. Same could be said for Burnley (who had no resources and sold their main striker), they've played pretty much all the top teams away from home by now and yet sitting well.
Southampton was Koeman's purple patch. Knew it probably wouldnt last after what he did at Valencia
Good, couldn't stand the smug bastard.
Now, let's hope they get someone decent in who can help them win a fecking Merseyside derby!

Just read the article on the BBC about his sacking and what went on and they're right, Everton really don't have an identity in terms of how they're gonna play.
The team Keown & Dublin put together is probably much better than the one they've been playing, purely because it stops shoe-horning Sigurdsson and other #10's in to unfamiliar positions and adds some pace out wide, but the problem is still going to be goals. They desperately need to sign a ST in January, there's only so long they can continue with Rooney up front.

I actually wanted him to stay and take those blue wankers down, Scouse cnuts.
That would give Liverpool 6 less points every year, wouldn't be too bad
Friend of mine says he wanted a striker in the summer to replace Lukaku but didn't get one (didn't plan on playing Rooney as a 9), is that true?
Board to blame as well in that case.

You're right as usual but I bet Sean Dyche is checking his phone every 20 seconds.
Moyes to the job!
Petty.
He's spanish so that probably adds what is missing from the Dutch philosophy.
Wanted Giroud. Thought they were getting Giroud. Giroud said no.
Problem is, the owners aren't satisfied with "just staying up", which is their good right after spending quite a bit this offseason (I think?). Everton should be the first club alongside Soton to sit just under the big six, but they're not. Their biggest and most obvious failure this season was not replacing Lukaku properly, which is also partly on Koeman.
