If I was an Everton fan, I think I'd be interested in Eddie Howe (if Allardyce was to leave, which I don't think is a certainty).

He's performed miracles with Bournemouth, and done it by playing progressive football, pressing with high turnovers, not quite as aggressively as some of the big boys but with a bigger budget he could really take you places. I know he hasn't got a fancy foreign name, but I think he'd 'get' Everton, and I think you'd really enjoy his football if you gave him a chance. Deserves to step up. I would get him before someone else does.

Sean Dyche I would stay well away from. He's a good guy, and had an amazing season, but the football Burnley play has been brutal to watch, I get why he has to play that way, but it is too defensive and I don't think you'd enjoy his football very much at all, and he could end up being a Mike Walker mk II.

I think you dodged a bullet with Marco Silva if you ask me, he's not really proven himself, and even if he did he'd be off like a shot as soon as a bigger club waved their cleavage at him. Dude was manager of Watford for like 5 minutes before he got his head turned and then results nosedived. You look at his history as well, doesn't stick around anywhere for long, you've got nothing to gain there and everything to risk.

Good post. Just out of interest, who do you support?

Pellegrini or Mancini for me, both proven winners in the PL and have European pedigree. Sadly I don’t think either are on our shortlist.

Without wanting to be ageist, I'd really like to see us get a young, dynamic coach with a bit of zeal and something to prove. Pellegrini will be 65 in September, I don't know if he'd have it in him to deal with the complete overhaul we need, or whether he could really connect with the 19/20 year olds we want to be part of the team going forward.

Leyton Orient. I just signed up yesterday, as I thought it was an interesting crossroads Everton find themselves at. I don't think Allardyce is as bad as some of you think, and I think the football would get better next season under him, but if he were to go, and it is someone more progressive you want I'd like to see Eddie Howe being given an opportunity at a big club, the most talented young English manager for me, and I think it would be a good medium to long term fit for both parties. And at least with him, if he does well, you don't need to worry about the Barcelonas and Real Madrids of the world turning his head, as I think we in England aren't as obsessed with those clubs as a lot of the foreigners are.

I think he'd be the way forward, young, plays progressive attractive football, and I get the feeling he'd be loyal, and most importantly is proven in the Premier League. What's not to like? Of course anyone is a risk, and you'd need to give time and support, it is difficult to turn a club round in a few months, but I think it would pay off if he was given the opportunity.
 
Don't shoot the messenger - and like all investments your money can go down as well as up - but:

* Ex RS manager's agent has been sounded out and did not say "NO". Doesn't mean he is getting it, just someone we might be considering as an option.

I am sure that many have been approached to ensure any transition is quick and I don't know any others who have been approached. Friend's son works for the same agency (different client) but was privy to that info only.
