With City, you do get the feeling that the squad like each other and have each other's backs, and I hate to say this but so do Liverpool, Mané and Salah aside. Everton...don't. There are individual friendships in the squad, like the South American lads, or Calvert-Lewin and Davies, but they don't seem to have the same unity that City do, and I don't think it's down to a language barrier either. Maybe one reason why City function so well as a team is Pep's style of management. He's like the City squad's dad, the way he cares about them - look at how teary he got about Aguero.

I seem to remember when Pep first came, we started celebrating every goal as a whole team. It seems like there was a very deliberate instruction from the top that everyone but the goalkeeper has to take part in the celebration. Obviously that often happened naturally before he came, but I don't remember people running all the way across the pitch to congratulate the goalscorer every time like we do now. And this season, we've started to see the same thing happening at the other end too. Stones, Ederson and Dias celebrate every clearance unless the ball's still in play.

Reminds me of that time you were playing Liverpool in the League Cup final and Willy saved a pen, and he's down the other end of the pitch and you just see this horde of happy City players charging towards him.

The way they celebrated Sergio's first on Sunday was a prime example of the togetherness of the whole club, not just the first-team squad.

Aye. I was the only fucker on this forum who stuck with Willie Catchit. The rest of the buggers, and they'll tell yer different now, wanted Joe back in!
 
Can only be the lure of money otherwise ..why go back?
Moshiri has allowed him to do what he wants, has given him funds and he has the ability to build something with Everton.
You would think the challenge would be greater in the prem than going back to RM
 
He is SO going to be replaced with Pulis or Hughes or some other British miserable old fart. Kill me now. Either that or Duncan Ferguson gets it and our fans will all go mental because he's more passionate than Carlo. We've been linked with Nuno, who I actually like, but I can't see our fans wanting another Iberian.

Liverpool fans are going to love this, they were made up when we had Allardyce.

It will be Eddie Howe and he will be able to take you forward and likely the CL on a regular basis.

no Everton manager has managed that. They're like Sven City, buy nice names but the continental ones can't be arsed unless it's a top 6 game and it's sunny and they're surrounded by PL journeymen and the occasional golden nugget who gets poached. Story of Everton for decades.

Why go back?

Get away from Liverpool?

Liverpool or Madrid.....mmmmm choices!!
 
Genuinely felt disappointed for Everton. They started so brightly last season then faded.
Thought they had a good nucleus and with more time Carlo would have made them actual contenders. Carlo and Moshiris money.
Reckon Eddie Howe a good call but not sure he will do that well
