Blue 250 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Joe Royle to return, that's good news, at last a goal threat from a corner. StevO 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shukes Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 (edited) Remember losing 1. 6 to arsenal and he stayed behind to speak us outside the gate for an hour. Top man. Edited April 19, 2014 by Shukes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hafnia Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Joe Royle, pen knives to gun fights? He would say "fuck the pen knife, lets see you fire a gun after I've ripped your hands off" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlueBlood81 Posted April 19, 2014 Report Share Posted April 19, 2014 Loving the fact that Bobbys surrounding himself with real Evertonians like Big Joe & Dunc. Speaks volumes for his appreciation of our history. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hafnia Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 This is what "getting us" is all about! None if this pen knives to gun fights shite. It's enough to make the hairs on the back of your neck stand up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyh Posted April 22, 2014 Report Share Posted April 22, 2014 I'm glad he's coming back and I always thought he was a good man. But as a manager I don't think he was up to much. The season he left we were terrible at times (after an excellent start). Big Nev was scathing of him in his book on that season, although he had an axe to grind. I remember once Royle said something along the lines of, 'Tactics aren't that important. The Brazil team in the 1970s didn't worry about tactics – they just used to give the ball to Pele!' Which I think isn't true to start with, but in any case overlooked the fact that closest player we had to Pele was probably Graham Stuart!

bluenosetoffee Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 I've had the pleasure of meeting Joe Royle and he is such a nice person. Speaks so highly of Everton also, you can tell he loves the club. Good luck to him in his new role at Norwich. Gutted he didn't come to Everton though.

Matt Posted June 5, 2014 Report Share Posted June 5, 2014 Me dad is happy he didn't come, didn't rate him as a manager but speaks highly of his professionalism. I'm indifferent to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louis Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 It's strange though, the job offer seems to have been well known before he accepted the position at Norwich - only for him to resign and take Everton's offer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this may be a slightly different role than what was previously on offer, a bit more hands on I think. Matt 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MikeO Posted July 14, 2014 Report Share Posted July 14, 2014 I think this may be a slightly different role than what was previously on offer, a bit more hands on I think. Yup, Stubbs and Irvine leaving will have created the space I'd have thought; he'll be a bit higher up the food chain than he would've been in the previous circumstances.
