The official Everton FC Supporters thread

[Apparently so]

I would say its all but confirmed. Hearing it from very good sources

All the best to him at Everton. Personally, I think its the wrong move for him. Would have been better served staying with us for another season or two. It will be a much harder job with Everton but a lot less pressure I suppose

We can add Crete Boom to the (long) list of non Liverpool FC fans who are obsessed with Liverpool FC.

In my defence Laoislad I am an Everton fan, Liverpool are our city rivals and(for the last couple of seasons) have been neck with us in the league so I think it's not too far fetched for me to throw in the odd dig (hardly an obsession) to the former illustrious Liverpool. Also a lot of you Pool fans are fairly interested in posting on the Everton thread so personally I don't see you grievance. Do you think Man U fans get paranoid when City fans post a few insults on their thread or is there some code of conduct for Arsenal and Spurs fans or Villa and Birmingham fans that us poor peasants across Stanley park haven't been told about.As a plus Pool fans are awful easy to wind up .

So it is to be Lennon for the Toffees. It's a bit of a gamble for Everton and him being a big step up from the comfort of the Scottish league but at least he has shown this season he can mix it against the big boys in the champions league. Also he won't be a stranger to working on a tight budget.

Thank you David Moyes.Outstanding manager and I wish him all the best as much as that will pain me.
Lennon has gone from 10-1 to 8-15 with PP in d last hour?? I like what Lennon has done with Celtic this season but I would like the club to take some time over this decision. We need a man who will convince our big men to stay.

Fire sale at Everton and Celtic then so. They'll be gutted by the summer without a manager to keep them together.

Could very well be Trileacman. I would say there is a good chance Fellani , Baines , Mirallas , Piennar and Jelavic could all be searching for the exit door from Everton this summer. After 11 years of stability we could be back to the dark days again for a couple of years anyway, At this stage I would take a boring mid table finish next season regardless of who takes the job.

The three in bold would want to wind their neck in. Mirallas has alot to prove yet. Piennar should know where his best interests are served after his last misjudgement.Jelavic may just flourish again under a different manager but would many clubs take that risk on him after the second half of the season he's after having.

Think Celtic will manage aright in league without Lennon it's the champions league they will be suffer in. English Premier league a big step up for Neil Lennon.

[T Fearon]

Much as id like him to stay at Celtic, Lennon managing Naismith and Jelavic would be some craic

Who would have thought two six county taigs would manage Liverpool and Everton simultaneously?

Probably a bigger shock that Liverpool have six county catholic considering the strong Orange order tradition in setting up the club while Everton's founder George Mahon albeit a Methodist was raised in Ireland so there has always been a link since formation with Ireland and the Toffees.

Why would it be some craic? They played for Rangers, wow!

Big deal? I don't think so personally.

[Syferus]

Don't know why Lennon would even be considering a jump right now. He's pretty much got at least three or four years of uncontested SPLs to win and time to focus on making a little noise in Europe. Very hard to see Everton even maintaining their recent level no matter who they appoint. The bar is set too high for a new manager to make a name for themselves. Lennon is better off staying as the big fish in a medium pond than being lunch for sharks.

The difference? Guess what shop I saw the European Cup in when I was in Liverpool city centre recently. Hint: it wasn't Everton 2.

I don't mind Evertonians banging on about Liverpool. nothing wrong with a bit of banter - I must confess that the name 'Everton 2' cracks me up - and the recent events surrounding Hillsborough show that when push comes to shove, they know what is right. Still, the only place where Liverpudlians say that "next year is our year" is in the minds of Toffees.

  I would agree Deiseach 5 European cups is a superb achievement and will stand for good while in my opinion before the mighty Man U even equal it let alone surpass it with the 3 won by Paisley along with 6 league titles, puts that team up there with Barcelona's of today. I would have to disagree with the "next year is our year" being in the head of Evertonians because having a lot Pool fans as my friends it was actually a Man U fan friend of mine who pointed it out to me after Roy Hodgson was sacked. I think the last time I heard it was after the Wigan match this year followed by Coutiniho was better than RVP in the same sentence. Also the slight majority of Liverpudilians being Everton fans definitely don't think "next year is our year in the league" more like next year we might actually beat Liverpool or next year we might actually win in Anfield( although we being saying the latter for a good while now )!
  I understand also why Pool fans can be a bit touchy about the subject because the hunger for success for such a strong traditional club is huge.Being from Mayo I have to  say this year especially they have changed from being touchy to quite realistic for the most part in that it will take 3 to 4 years to get back challenging. Still though the "this is Liverpool" documentary has set them back a few years in terms of goodwill but not as much as having Walter Smith as your manager .
