No we need a few years of consistency at the top. He just doesn't stick around too long. On the upside id watch the press conferences again as they'd be guaranteed a laugh.
 

Hasn’t he said he won’t manage a team battling relegation ?

One look at our squad……

No chance he comes here
 
On Tuesday morning, Roma owners Dan and Ryan Friedkin summoned Mourinho to the Trigoria training ground in person.

Sky Italy understands this was not a sudden decision.

The owners told Mourinho of their decision, which was thought out, considering the way the whole season - and particularly the last month - has been going. The club's ownership believe this is the right time to change direction.

Sorry I should have said 'squads'. I don't think he's a manager who builds. I think he comes in to teams who should be winning trophies and helps them do that.

Oh, I agree. But I don't really think the Friedkins are going to run us on a shoestring. They put the guts of a billion into Roma over five years. Sure, it'll take time to grow our revenues, but I don't think we've been taken over by very modest people of small ambition. These are not John Textor - or Moshiri fronting somebody else's money. If Roma are anything to go by, these showbiz types will bring glitz and glamour. Hence, the attraction of the stadium to them.

I expect a statement appointment, if not soon then in the summer.

You’re just removing all the context there though? He ‘got spurs european football’? I mean technically right I suppose, but probably worth noting they’d played in the champions league final 6 months before he took over isn’t it? They finished 4th the season before he went and 4th again the season after he left, but 6th and 7th while he was there.

Nobody’s saying he’s beneath us, it’s just an awful awful fit for where we are as a club. Peoples obsession with the idea that a ‘winner’ can just come in and change everything just because they’ve won some trophies in the past is so weird. People said it about koeman, ancelotti, Benitez and lampard, as well as loads of players, and despite it never even coming close to happening they just repeat it every time as if it has merit. Delusion is the word, you’re right.

Who is the right fit then in your eyes?

You have listed a load of managers (Ancelotti notwithstanding) who can’t claim to be winners, especially as a manager.

The club can’t gamble on a trendy manager like potter who will buckle under the strain of a club the size of Everton and the expectation that goes with it.

The club above all else needs dragging forward and a big enough personality to do that and I am not sure many of them exist in football anymore.

I have grave doubts about the age profile of the team he would build. But it is hard to level anything else at him.
