Thought we'd got a bit of class when he came, and gutted when he left. He'll have an 'alf n' 'alf scarf on when he gets into the sky blue yonder!!

A part from Tony Book this was Peter Swales best appointment as manager .
We would have been better off if he hadn't gone back to Everton .
Another thing I admire about is the way he stopped Liverpool from dominating in the 80s .
A very sad for his family .
R.I.P Howard Kendall .

was buzzing when we got him and in the short time he was here I was getting excited about us going onto greater things.
gutted when he left and came out with the city/marriage/everton comment.
I knew he was a big drinker and in lakeys book he quoted kendall getting the bubbly out any chance he could.
thanks for a mad 10 months howard you`ll always be remembered by us....(well....by the `older` us that is..)

I was really annoyed when he went back to Everton but that's water under the bridge now. He was a cracking player too, I still find it hard to believe that he never won a full international cap for England.
RIP

Colin Harvey from the great Everton side of that era only won a single cap and the likes of Pardoe, Oakes and Young like Howard Kendall were never capped which is baffling.

He was always ruddy faced and a bit ill looking in his face. Bad diet, too much beer?
He broke my heart when he decided to leave and go back to Everton. I used to have a soft spot for the Toffees but after that I hated them with a passion. My stance toward them has softened over the years, but I suppose the Kendall situation was just another one of the realisations that in reality we were below the level I always reckoned we were.
All the same RIP.
He enjoyed a drink...saw him at team hotel v Millwall away 1990 at 3 in the morning pissed as a fart...I went in the hotel bar the morning of the game feeling & looking like a piece of shit and Howard was at the end of the bar looking immaculate,you would have thought he had gone to bed at 10 the night before.
Did a great job,such a shame he left.

Was gutted when we sacked Machin, and hated Howard at first for "breaking up my team" (ie selling hinchcliffe, bishop, morley, oldfield, etc) and buying adrian heath and wayne clarke.. BUT grew up and got over that when we started to gel. I had a relative growing up who deserted the family and supported Everton, so having to put up with her i knew a lot of him in the 80s, top manager at Everton, the stuff he achieved is legendary. RIP.

as the great man said himself, city were a love affair & he left us for the love of his life
When Kendall went back to Everton, Joe Royle was actually the hot favourite to become their new manager and he'd decided to resign from Oldham to go there so I was giving my Latics mates a bit of a ribbing as they were devastated
Anyway, Royle had a last minute change of heart and the move for Kendall came out of the blue. One of my Latics mates phoned me and said "guess who the new Everton manager is". My heart sunk as I could tell by the glee in his voice exactly what was coming next
We were on the way up under Kendal and I reckon we'd have gone on to win trophies with him at the helm. He couldn't bring back the good times to Everton and he's been quoted as saying that in hindsight leaving City for Everton was a mistake. One of his first matches as Everton manager in his second spell was at home to City and he took dogs abuse
RIP Howard Kendall
