"Thomas, you know how you managed Dortmund in the Champions League, getting to the Quarter Final with players like Aubemeyang, Reus and Gotze and won a trophy there...Well how does managing Everton FC sound".
Tuchel:
"Errr..."

"Unfortunately we're not doing too well this season, we're 17th and all but out of the Europa League, having failed to beat Limassol and Atalanta but you can come and work with Cuco Martina and Ashley Williams, and I guarantee that we are ambitious and ready to challenge the top 6 in the next few years. The North West of England is like the Hollywood of Football and we want you to be part of it"
Laughable.
After the mess Koeman and Unsworth had put us in, and the spineless efforts of our first team squad, sadly Big Sam Allardyce was the best we could realistically get in the circumstances and he has done a a solid enough job.
If he can get us a top 10 finish, we may have a chance of possibly attracting a better calibre of manager in the Summer, but to think we'd have brought in some of the names suggested on here at the time is deluded given the position we were in.
