Re: Everton

The Marcelo Lippi talk was just before we appointed McLeish at the time Lippi had not long won the world cup. I suspect the attempt to get him was about as genuine as our bid for Maradona.

Agree that Bruce should have left after the Liverpool debacle. With hindsight being what it is, we should have let Bruce go to Newcastle in 2004 when they came in for him.

He was never the same manager for us after his great big head was turned.
