I think Sam was immediately disliked by Everton fans because we were very vocal as to why some in the club didn’t want him. They must have had a preconception before he arrived.
I’d venture to say that a lot of our supporters took a dislike to Sam before he was even appointed!
Well there is that, but plenty and I would say the majority were okay for it to play out, once the polls started by the 16 website to get rid and they didn’t do it, that’s when it was “broken”

Everton have appointed a new DOF who will (according the BBC report) work with their new Chief Executive (appointed yesterday) to appoint the new manager.
Interesting way of doing things... owner distancing himself so no blame attaches?
What will happen if the new manager doesn't do very well in the first 10 games. Will the fans try and get rid of him, too? The trouble with a minority of our fans is they want everything yesterday and are not prepared to wait for a new manager to put their stamp on the team.
It's symptomatic of the modern game, Dee. I grew up in the John Lyall era but those days are gone; managers are a lot more transient than they used to be and unfortunately I don't think it'll ever go back.
I'd have liked Moyes to have stayed to try to give us some stability, but the way the game is, I'm not surprised he's gone. Social media has given the fans a huge voice, and clubs are very aware of that. What used to be a few grumbles in the pub about a manager's tactics are now voiced on the Internet and shared by thousands of people.
Football fans have always been fickle. Nowadays we're fickle and powerful, which isn't a particularly good combination, but has a big influence on decisions that clubs are making.
OCS I totally agree with you. I am 72 in September and have been a fan since my Dad let me go to my first game at 13. I am used to the ups and down of the Hammers. Mainly downs, but I was at the old Wembley Stadium in 1965 when we beat TSV Munich 1860 in The European Cup Winners Cup. I was 19 then and my Dad got tickets through Standard Telephone Cables in Woolwich, where he worked as a millwright/storekeeper. They got a coachload to go to the game, I made my own way from work. On the coach back, we stopped at nearly every pub!
Someone said in the media months ago that they believed Mr Moyes wouldn't stay beyond the end of the season with us and would be the next Stoke manager even though Paul Lambert was in situ.

With Moyes it was almost “meh” after the love affair with Slav

Negativity rules on most of them

Newcastle lost £90 mil in the season getting promoted back to the PL , I doubt Rafa is going to get his £100 mil transfer kitty now
