MOYES RESIGNS AS TOFFEE’S MANAGER
Today, football fans around the country were shocked as it was announced that David Moyes, long-standing manager of Everton Football Club, has resigned from his post.
Everton fans were enraged to discover, that after growing tension between chairman Bill Kenwright and the rest of the club, that Moyes had stepped down as manager, citing that ‘on-going issues with the chairman pertaining to the clubs financial situation and aims’ had forced him out of the club.
Moyes, speaking outside of Everton’s Finch Farm training ground, apologised to all the Everton fans for the fact he had been forced to love and said he was sorry that he couldn’t achieve their biggest goals every season, saying that this wasn’t good enough for some people in the board room.
There has been no word as of yet who will replace Moyes, with Kenwright not willing to speak on the issue yet – however, signs are pointing towards a cheap alternative to the former-Preston manager Moyes, who had been in charge since 2002.

‘NO DRESSING ROOM UN-REST’ INSISTS CAHILL
‘NO DRESSING ROOM UN-REST’ INSISTS CAHILL
Speaking in a television interview in his home-nation of Australia earlier today, Everton starlet Tim Cahill insisted that there was no dressing room un-rest in any sense in the weeks preceeding Moyes’ resignation.
On holiday in Australia, Cahill spoke of his stance on the current situation at Everton, saying there was never any tension in the dressing room and although the lack of money to strengthen and build on our performances wasn’t there, the players, fans and manager were always ambitious and had a lot of faith in eachother.
Cahill also stated he hadn’t heard anything about a new manager from anybody at the club yet, and that he believs whoever is brought in as a replacement for the much-loved Moyes will be accepted by all the players in hopes they can pick up where they left off under Moyes.

UNKNOWN MORALES REPLACES MOYES IN THE EVERTON DUG-OUT
Everton Football Club today revealed their replacement for David Moyes, who was sacked a few days ago, would be an unknown Spaniard by the name of Veto Morales.
The new Everton gaffer, born and raised in Seville, has said he always admired the Premier League and even further, clubs like Everton who do well despite not spending the millions that the big boys do. Morales spoke of his bewilderment at the approach from Kenwright and was told he was brought in as a young, fresh-face with a philosophy that would change the club and take them to new heights.
Aged 30, Morales is the youngest manager in the Barclays Premier League, and a life-long football fan who always had a keen eye for the tactical and technical side of things. After a bad knee injury ended a run in the Real Betis U-18s when he was just 17, Morales bright future as a player was cut short – however, he did his coaching badges in Spain before taking a job as a Youth Coach at Sporting Gijon, followed by a short spell as a Coach at Italian club Pescara and back in Spain at his original club of Betis. Keen to make his mark on football, the whole footballing world will be keeping an eye on Morales as he tries to take the Merseyside club forward.

EVERTONIANS ANGERED AT DECISION TO EMPLOY STRANGER
EVERTONIANS ANGERED AT DECISION TO EMPLOY STRANGER
This morning, just a day before Veto Morales will officially start his reign as Everton manager, Everton fans angered by the decision to let Moyes leave and employ a stranger in his place have staged a protest in the streets of Liverpool.
Hundreds of Evertonians stormed towards Goodison Park, holding banners and signs protesting against Everton’s chairman, Bill Kenwright, his lack of protest and the decision to employ Veto Morales, a stranger with no first-hand experience in management.
Dave Blakemore, one of the Everton fans leading the protest, spoke to the media earlier, releasing the following statement: ‘With all due respect to Mr. Morales, he isn’t proven enough to be managing this club. This is an irrational decision by the board to save their own back pockets. With no investment and no experience in the dug-out, our prospects do not look bright. We can only hope something will be done as soon as possible. Kenwright out – save our club’.
Despite the protests, Bill Kenwright has released his own statement saying he will not step down and hopes that the frustrated Everton fans will accept his decision in time. Morales, meanwhile, has kept relatively quiet about the situation, only commenting during his un-veiling yesterday as manager: ‘This is a dream job for me. I never expected this, it is surreal. I hope and truly believe I can make a difference. I want to help this club to the top. However, I can understand the fans frustrations. I can only hope I prove myself to them, for they deserve success for their un-dying support for such a great club’.
