    Walsh bought.
    If Alladyce was a fraud what does that make you? 
    Alladyce waited so fans like you wouldn't get on the players back. He took the grief rather than the player. That's good management. Alladyce also had him scoring goals. He had the player looking that well nearly every fan on here had him down to be our main striker over DCL the following season, you included.
    Given your phenomenally bad record I think just about every poster on here knows more about football than you, nevermind a manager who has about 20 years experience in the prem.

    First one is ridiculously bias from the off. It's a Bruce out piece going on about the money spent. Benetiz abandoned ship after they lost their two best players (Perez and Rondon). They only scored 4 less goals the next season without them and finished roughly the same in the league. Much harder job that Benetiz wasn't up to, fact is he knew he'd get them relegated again. Fact.

    Why wouldn't I like that fact? Which lets me honest can't be true given the relatively short time Benetiz has been here. Or have you personally been at Finch farm the last five years with a stop watch?
    Any how, how is that even relevant. 
    People have short memories. Walcott was the single player worth watching under Alladyce. Fat Sam even got goals out of Tosun, eventually after giving him extra time to get up to speed, although I do remember one inpatient fan calling him the worse manager ever for not playing Tosun every week from the off. Alladyce claims he wanted Aubamayang but the club opted for Tosun so you might want to blame Walsh for that one. Alladyce also addressed we needed a centre mid but the club failed to bring one in. Madness that Silva then spunked the budget on a winger rather than a centre mid the following summer. Alladyce would have built a better team and we'd be in a better position now rather than go full circle and get another Alladyce style manager. Only difference Benetiz tends to leave squads worse than what he begins with. 
    Why would I need to speak to a Newcastle fan. So they can tell me who they like more. That's not the question.
    I'll ask again. How was Benetiz better than Bruce?

    Only thing that makes me an idiot is engaging with the likes of you. How many digs is that now? Yet you go crying to the mods when I throw mud back at yer and fuck off on a hiatus when you don't get your own way.

    I know for a fact... 100% fact. 
    Not even getting into the Walcott nonsense, he had a new club bounce which we seen him repeat at Southampton.  Nice lad, absolutely no football desire in him.

    People are acting like we're lucky to have him. We're a big club and should be aiming higher than a journey man who just wants to finally get a job closer to home. His biggest success was over 15 years ago and he's not lasted more than 2 seasons at any club other than Newcastle. 
    So far we're 2 points down than we should be thanks to him picking Keane. 
    We were lucky against Burnley. Could have easily been three down by half time.

    No they never, he came after the England sack with many bemoaning him from day one. What was the football like under Koeman that got him the sack?
    Given the players Silva had at his disposal the football and results should have been a lot better. The football wasn't good enough and the results no better.

    It was equally as poor. Burnley had us pegged in our own half like they were man United under Ferguson. 
    Why would he have settled for a point? That's just pure opinion with nothing to base it on.
    Again baseless. If anything Benetiz is the one more focused on percentage football and wanting players to do exactly what he wants. Alladyce allows more freedom.
    We are more attacking, but that's down to the players available. Alladyce played more attacking football with wba than he did Everton. Doucoure alone instead of Gana makes us more attacking. The team we had lacked a centre mid and pace on the wings.

    You used trophies won with teams built by other people. Compare what they've both done in the league. Alladyce is more impressive, getting the likes of Bolton into Europe compared to Benetiz who has never overachieved at a club.
    You said similar when I moaned about Silva.
    So Geordies and kopites are your fountain of knowledge. Brilliant. 
    They loved that he won a cup and called us a small club. If he was so great he'd still be there. They've only recovered from the mess he left recently. He's the reason they stopped getting champions League every season.
    Controversial until proven true. Some of us are just more forward thinking than others. Or better yet form our own opinions. 
    What else could you do with the squad he had, there's a reason Koeman got sacked. Look at Alladyce with west Brom playing good football and beating Chelsea 5-2 away. You can only work with what you've got. Alladyce albeit a percentage football manager adapts, he got Anelka and Okocha to Bolton. Players too good for that type of football and adapted away from percentage to use/trust in their natural ability. Whereas we've got a percentage puritan who has turned the fans on one of the most naturally gifted players of my lifetime.

    Because he's never come back from one goal down? Benetiz is no better than Alladyce. Only difference is the fans never gave Alladyce a chance.

    I should have known my comments would only further the discuss of the man. That fail is on me.
    You are right that many managers would have tried to circle the wagons and just try to be hard to beat for the remainder of that season.  With that lot of players? Certainly. So no testament to Sam there. Also his transfers did not pan out at all. 50 mil down the drain (walcott and tosun).  Could have random selected a player to purchase and ended up with more pace.  We were SO slow. So total fail in that department for Sam.  Cannot fathom a single positive from his reign.
    Also at least there was hope under Silva compared none under Sam.  Silva didn't work out but at least there was that.  In fact, I flew across the pond to watch a game under Silva.  Something that would have never happened under Sam.  Was the game I watched good? Nope. It was brutal a loss.  But I had hope before kick off, haha.  Also this whole Sam keeps teams up dross is so tired. There is a reason he jumps around clubs.  Guy is shameless.
    Seems like people are always piling on Pete in this forum but... (and some people might disagree) but... I would rather him be at the helm than Fat Sam.  His passion and deep distain for passengers on the pitch is to be commended.  From his comments above players like Siggy, Morgan, and Keane would have never been bought and if so, at least would have been banished.  Under Pete's tutelage, that act/those acts alone would have had more of a positive effect on the team and in the psyche of Everton fans than anything Sam ever did or could do with an open checkbook.
    So when you getting your badges Pete...
