Ferguson Caretaker Manager

Everton are a club that thrive on passion and sentimentality. When the fans are engaged and Goodison is rocking, it is a really hard ground to come to and Everton do much better.

In the last sixty years, we have only ever won anything with an ex player in charge, Royle, Kendall and Catterick.

I think the time has come to give Ferguson a go and bring back the passion. Everybody is now looking forward to Saturday instead of dreading it because we’re going to win and the atmosphere will be great!

I think the most important, and difficult, task for any manager in this age of football is motivating players.

We're in an era where 16 year olds are building eye-watering wealth without ever really 'making it' in terms of first team football. This proliferation of money through the game does little but kill motivation and desire to succeed in footballing terms. Why bother trying if you're living the life already?

We're regularly seeing the downfall of managers renowned within the game for their tactical prowess. Ancelotti, Jose, and even our beloved Benitez have all faired from average-to-poor at recent clubs. Say what you want about them, but they're respected within the game for their tactical knowledge. Their cleverly pieced together tactics go out the window when you've got players too lazy to execute them.

The managers who are succeeding seem to be the ones who are relentless in their energy and ability to inspire people around them. Pep, Klopp, Simeone. It seems to me that the most valuable management skill of all these days is to get otherwise poorly motivated and self-entitled players off their backside and actually playing like it matters.

All that to say, I think a lot of people are underestimating Dunc's potential for management.

The whole lot needed to go this summer and we needed a manager in charge who'd employ no more suspect characters - and if one inadvertently did slip through again they'd stand for no more nonsense. (Moyes did that well: AVM, Beattie, Drenthe....their feet didn't touch after they were seen to be wronguns.)

We needed that fire break desperately, but now the wild fires will continue to burn.

The club will go back to being a disaster zone....after the first few games of a new manager.

Couldn’t agree more mate, nothing changes until the clear out is underway.It painful to watch in all honesty.

Because they know the club and are blue to the heart.

Also why Ferguson and Rooney should be the prime candidates.

He has been overlooked when the last ffive managers were appointed and apart from CA most of those were poor appointments.

He has worked with a number of managers by now, he seems to be strong willed determined man and certainly has a loyalty to Everton unmatched by most others.
I have seen his ability as a coach derided here by some but on what basis.

The only thing I know about his coaching ability is when individual players mention his contribution in their development. I am not sure how those who criticise him know what his limitations would be.

Lampard and Rooney are being hailed as new managers based on a very limited body of work. I don't have a problem with that as we took a chance on a young Howard Kendall .
Maybe it is time to give Duncan a shot at the job, at least until the summer.

Unfortunately I think if that was in their minds it would have already happened.

Players get to complacent on their cushy salaries, if we don't have the right manager to motivate them and make them winners, it will happen again with a new set of players.

We've seen too many times this season that they haven't looked up for it, conceding the first goal, bottling challenges and shrinking in their shells. There is talent in this squad, we just need the right person to manage them and wanting to be the side that wins.
 
If you don't see Duncan has a breath of fresh air after the last 6 years we've been through no matter what the results will be then you deserve unhappiness.

Know the club thing a load of balls, get the right manager get the right players win games, simple as that. Since day 1 of Moshiri we got it wrong every time

Tend to agree this is a big part of it at the top level - this Clough-like idea that somehow you are going to bully top players into playing well has gone.

How did it go for Benitez, Mourinho or even Tuchel when they called out under-performing players recently ?

Duncs treatment of Kean didn't really do much for that player, I wonder if he learnt anything from that.

The trick seems to be to get the right character of player in the first place, or find a way to keep them happy - even if you want to kick them up the arse.

Times move on. Gone are the days when managers could apply the ‘hairdryer’ treatment. Players at the top level will just shrug their shoulders. They’re already multi millionaires, more often than not from abroard with no emotional attachment to the club. The Cloughs of this world wouldn’t stand a chance. Probably be sacked for bullying too for shouting at someone.
