Quotes

Roy Hodgson

"Everton have been a massively stable club in the Premier League for many years, first with my old mate Moysie, who rebuilt the club from nothing really, took them into the top half of the league, actually qualified them for the Champions League, got to the odd cup final, on very limited budgets, despite them being a selling club basically.

"Then Roberto [Martinez] comes in and takes it on, but it went a bit wrong for him. Ronald [Koeman] comes in, with his experience from Southampton and elsewhere, and the football club now has more money available than it probably ever has since it emerged.

"He seems to have spent wisely and added to a good squad, and with that result the other day you can see his ideas are paying off. The players seem to have bought into them and they are playing well."

Ronald Koeman

"I think with his experience he [Sam Allarydyce] is the right man in the right position. It's always difficult for a new manager coming to a new place during the season.

"You need time, maybe they are struggling a little bit but they still have good players, they still are physically a strong team, they're strong at home.

"I think it was really important for them to win the game last Tuesday against Bolton and we will see.

"But we know it's a new one. We can't celebrate what we did last week because you know in football you have to prepare yourself for the next, and the next maybe is still more difficult than it was last weekend."
