BWFC24

Today sees the launch of the new England Away Kit and Goalkeeper Kit. Personally I like the new design but will probably be wearing a Swiss shirt this summer as I will be a neutral observer of Euro 2008.Despite England’s absence, today would be a good time to get an England shirt. If you want the new away shirt from kitbag.com you will receive the home shirt (in the same size) for free.

I have been playing Football Manager 2007 recently and, of course I chose to take Sam Allardyce’s place at The Reebok with Little Sammy Lee as assistant. The game was not going too well: Anelka and Diouf were both considering their options and I had annoyed the board a couple of times when asking for more transfer funds. Then, out of the blue Sammy Lee left, check the screenshot below to see how topically ironic his departure was.

Gary Megson has employed Colin Harvey as Chief Scout at The Reebok Stadium. Liverpool born Harvey, now 62, has joined the backroom staff and, according to the official BWFC website will be responsible for, “restructuring the Club’s scouting system.”

Harvey spent over a decade as a midfielder for Everton and returned to Goodison Park to become a successful Youth Coach, winning The 1977 Youth Cup. When Howard Kendall became Everton’s manager Harvey became Reserve Team Coach and on to First Team Coach in the mid 80s, during which time Everton enjoyed became Champions twice, won the FA Cup and the European Cup Winner’s Cup. Kendall left in 1987 leaving Harvey the obvious choice to become his replacement.

BWFC24 wish James Colin Harvey good luck with The Wanderers.

Synopsis
“Inside Everton” is 40 years of revelations from Goodison legend Colin Harvey. The book captures Harvey’s recollections from his unique Everton career which saw him make the journey from boyhood fan to apprentice, star player, coach, assistant manager and manager. He figured as a player in a legendary Championship team and was also Howard Kendall’s right hand man through the most successful period in Everton’s history. Harvey would then become an esteemed youth coach. In this role, he figured largely in the rise of a young Wayne Rooney, amongst others.

There has obviously been a lot of trouble at The Reebok so far this season. Speed steps down from his coaching role, other players secretly moan about Sammy Lee who ultimately left and was by Gary Megson who gave up his position at Leicester City to join an even more unsettled club.

When Megson made the swap, the Leicester fans’ general opinion was one of ‘good riddance’. Bolton supporters however were less than pleased with the choice of Lee’s replacement.

However, Megson is comparable to Allardyce.

Take a look at Big Sam Allardyce’s performance before he joined The Wanderers and compare that with Megson’s during his more successful times.

Before The Wanderers Allardyce managed Notts County and Blackpool, during that period those teams played a total of 247 matches and won exactly 100.
