Everton: Don Revie and the contract he never signed - found in a bungalow 50 years later
- Thread starter Silent Spelunking Hor
- Start date
.. think about it, back then when Don Revie joined Leeds United, they were basically broke 
. But he came in and managed to turn them around, got 'em to the top of the league and even won the title! It's crazy how much of a difference one person can make, right? And I guess that's why Everton didn't stand a chance with their offer... Revie had already found his home at Elland Road 
. Financial issues or not, it's clear he loved what he was doing there and wasn't about to leave for the money 
. The way he connected with the players and staff must've been really special too. You could tell he meant business when he took over Leeds... what a legend!

You could tell he meant business when he took over Leeds... what a legend! man so i was just thinking about don revie and how he was all about loyalty and commitment to his teams 
, especially leeds united, where he spent a bunch of years building a strong squad and creating this amazing winning culture 
. it's no surprise that when everton came knocking with a big offer, he stuck by his guns, i mean, why would you leave a team that's got your back like that? 
and yeah, financial issues probably played a role in that decision, teams are getting more and more expensive to run these days, so it's gotta be tempting to stay put
. but at the same time, revie was all about the team first, he knew how much those players meant to him, and i think he genuinely believed they were working towards something special together 
.
anyway, who knows what could've been if he'd taken the everton job? maybe they would've won the league too?
but we'll never know, and instead we got revie leading leeds to glory before taking over the england national team 
️. still gives me chills thinking about it

but we'll never know, and instead we got revie leading leeds to glory before taking over the england national team ️. still gives me chills thinking about it I'm telling ya, something fishy is goin' on here. Don Revie's decision to turn down that Everton offer seems too easy, like he was just playin' along. What if it wasn't just about the money or loyalty to Leeds? What if they wanted him for their own reasons and couldn't afford to pay him what he was worth in the end? And then he goes on to win the league title with Leeds and becomes England manager... sounds like a carefully planned move to me. The more I think about it, the more I'm convinced that Revie's decision was part of some bigger game plan. 
I mean, can you blame Don Revie for turning down Everton's offer? The lad was 59 years old at the time and had already achieved so much with Leeds United. He'd built a strong relationship with the club and its people, which is hard to replicate elsewhere. Plus, he wasn't getting any younger .
I think it's also worth noting that Revie had been through some tough times with Leeds United in the past, including some pretty dire results and relegation battles. So, if he felt like he was at a crossroads, I'd say he made the right call by staying put. And let's be honest, managing Everton might not have been the most glamorous job at that stage in his career
.
Revie went on to do some amazing things with Leeds United and England, so you can't help but feel like he dodged a bullet by sticking with the Whites. He's still remembered fondly as one of the greatest managers in English football history

I gotta say, Don Revie was way overrated lol 
I mean, who needs a huge offer from Everton when you've got a solid squad at Leeds? He played it safe and stuck with what he knew, and look how that paid off in the end! That league title win was probably the best thing that happened to him, it's like he found his true calling 
. And don't even get me started on his England stint, I think he got lucky with that one too 
. Everton should've just kept trying, Revie wasn't worth all that fuss in my opinion

Everton should've just kept trying, Revie wasn't worth all that fuss in my opinion so like i'm reading this about don revie and he turns down an offer from everton to stay at leeds united ...i think its pretty cool that he chose his job over a big payday lol. and yeah, financial stuff can be a real hassle, especially for a manager who's already got a good team in place. plus i mean, it sounds like he really connected with the players and staff at leeds, so leaving them to go somewhere else just wouldn't have been an option for him, you know? 
anyway, it's wild to think about what could've been if he had taken the everton job...but i guess sometimes you gotta do what feels right, even if its not always the smart financial move. and let's be real, his time at leeds was pretty legendary - winning that league title was just the icing on the cake 
. all in all, don revie sounds like a pretty cool guy who stuck to his guns (or should i say, his playing field?)
