Leighton Baines - next Everton manager (but one)?

[blue61]

Baines to me is not as dynamic as big Dunc maybe as an assistant someday?

I can't see a single thing that Ferguson offers, bar passion, which isn't enough.

Not being smart but how could you know what he offers?

We really don't know how tactically aware or astute he is.

We know he is a motivator, we saw with the Kean incident that he isn't afraid of making difficult calls.

But I don't know how anybody can say what he does or doesn't offer.

I forgot about his pigeons. Wonder if he still fancies them (that's the technical term isn't it?)

He did until he went bankrupt then fell in love with Everton and football

4 games in charge no defeats ..,....

Great news. We'll win the managers hair and managers playlist awards every year.

The hair goes to Pirlo mate and always will

Would you give him the job Joe. Seriously

Love Baines, was truly World Class for a while.
I'm completely of the opinion that he stands every chance of becoming a decent manager based on nothing but instinct.

He’s completely changed DCL as a player for starters.

Thank you!

His renaissance started when Dunc took over. Even Dom credits him hugely with it.

….if we’re picking a future manager from playing ranks, I’m going for Matty Pennington ahead of Leighton Baines.

Huge intellect, model professional. Many top managers were very ordinary footballers. A few years behind Baines but I’ll suggest he might be one to watch when his playing days are over.

I'll agree with that, let's hope DCL scores more than 50 odd goals for us.

Playing blood and guts footy all season would acheive nothing in the long run.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Intelligent and skillful player, one wonders whether Bainesy's future might be more akin to Pat Nevin who seemed a similar character in his day.

 

[blueblue]

Playing blood and guts footy all season would acheive nothing in the long run.

But we really don't know if that is the way it would be with him over a prolonged period.

We don't know how he would approach each game.

Not for one second would I compare Duncan to Simoene or Conte but they also seem to kick every ball in every game.

He's a much more credible blue to be making manager than Ferguson; Baines is serious and articulate, whereas Ferguson is all spluttering OTT passion and he lacks polish. Baines has demographics on his side too: he's a hero and role model to a younger generation of blues to the one who hero worshipped Ferguson. The new generations who probably make up the majority of Evertonians now in their 20s and 30s have dads who worshipped Ferguson; they respect his standing at the club but they dont identify with him as much as they would Baines.

What makes u say this?

Also, I will say this. Ferguson has infinitely more charisma than Baines has or will ever have.
