Ironically most of the revisionism I've seen about the likes of Pardew seems to come from those in our own fanbase with the memories of goldfish. Does sound boastful but dang if it isn't correct. McLaren, Pardew, Bruce, Dalglish, Souness - have done either nothing or fail since they left us. Allardyce's horrific football repulsed fans everywhere he went bar 5months down the road in a long ball stronghold. Hughton has had his ups and downs. Keegan did brilliantly for Fulham and Man City. Smith did fine everywhere he went. Ossie played good but too open football everywhere he went. As predicted. Rafa's an outlier though Edited October 10, 2022 by Wolfcastle Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

As an example us and Evertonians hated Allardyce for similar reasons yet the mackems loved him. Got to be because they've had all the notorious perveyors of horrible football bar Big Jack and John Beck. O'Neill, McCarthy, Reid, Wilkinson and we've seen what Bruce produces.

HaydnNUFC Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 In regards to Benitez being the outlier in this regard, he was perfect for us at the time which showed in the amazing job he done, on and off the pitch. Unique circumstances around the club ie the preceding lack of hope (which is hard to articulate to others who didnt live Ashley), what he symbolised, uniting the fans against Ashley and oft morphing that Ashley hatred into fantastic support for the players on the pitch. It was never going to work at Everton, many were saying it before he took the job that it was doomed to fail due to circumstances there yet he took it anyway. Have a theory that certain managers fit particular clubs. Benitez fit us like a glove, certainly at the time, but Howe is the man now for the current state of affairs. Like or loathe him Klopp fits Liverpool to a tee, thought Rodgers perfectly suited Leicester but not so much now. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will never understand those who try to re-write one of our bad managers' histories. Dalglish, Gullitt, Souness, Kinnear, Pardew, Schteve and Bruce can all get in the bin.

Consortium of one Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Watching us play Saturday and reflecting on where we were one year ago I can say the difference is stark. Setting everything else aside Miggy, Joelinton, Longstaff, Murphy and Schar are so much better now. Being fit and having a defined role makes for a better player. Bruce is a charlatan.

Ben Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 He couldn't even stay on and give young managers advice, 1000 games and nothing to show for it, two promotions with other people's teams and sacked multiple times in October/November meaning his summer transfers were poor season after season, a joke of a manager that improved nobody except himself.

As soon as tactics, analysis and attention to detail became the norm in football management/coaching, Bruce was finished. Most of his 'success' came 10-15 years ago and funnily enough he's been an abject failure ever since. Shame to let facts get in the way of a good story though, eh?! Seeing all the thousands of hills in the world to die on, and Edwards chooses to paw his way up Steve Bruce's bloated corpse. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
