Marcelo Bielsa

Errr just a reminder for the 'Dyche keeps us up' advocates. You do recall that Burnley sacked him with eight matches of the season remaining as they plummeted towards their certain, inevitable relegation right? A demise presided over by the apparent saviour Sean. Uh huh.

Indeed.

I think a significant group of fans will oppose ANY appointment. At this point, it's not going to be about style or image, it's going to be getting somebody in who can somehow keep us up. The odds are against every and any appointment doing that, so I am almost agnostic about who takes over this time.

He’s currently engaged, filming Rita, Sue and Bob too, the sequel.

I've got that somewhere on DVD, you've made me want to try and find it now to just watch the big argument scene. "Up the IRA" lol

Spot on mate.

People really are losing sight of this.

Plus, look at the way Kompany has completely transformed their style of play, that` s after having to sell his best players too.

In his defence, I think that Burnley team had run its course by then. What he'd done up to that point was pretty impressive and Burnley were always horrible to play against. I do quite like horrible snarling Everton too, it's when Goodison is at it's best.

Give me Bielsa or Corberan over him any day though. I just want some entertainment again really.

His logic is understandable here. This could quite realistically lead us to a scenario where Allardyce takes over for the last 18 games and Bielsa comes in the summer. That does seem like the kind of mental thing Moshiri would do tbf

We could give Dyche a ring and see if he wants to join in as well.

...a management delegation you mean??

Sky reporting having someone in place by Friday mate - our approach to this is interesting - last year we had about 3 weeks of interviews, doesn't seem the case or process this year.

That leaves a massive 4 days to get new signings in ffs.

I'm a believer in no 2 jobs will be the same.

Dyche could be world beater here. We do not know how it will work out.

Didn't Howe get sacked by Burnley for stinking the place out when they were in the championship?

No he quit to go back home to the south.

Everton management team on its way to the dugout.

2 days. They don't work weekends. Won't pay overtime.

Knowing Moshiri it will be Baines and Tait taking over till June.

Indeed. It is quite worrying how some people seem to look at Dyche as being the safest option to keep us up. That could be the case but we could also not win another game for the next 2 months. Every manager is a gamble at this point.

Just seen that. Said that it will give the new Manager time to assess the squad and bring in new players. Yeah right....good luck with that given the time available. Laughable really

At the risk of getting battered by this forum, which wouldn't be the first time, I'll share my Bielsa thoughts.

Assuming the rumors are true and Bielsa wants to come to Everton badly. It won't be for money, it won't be for added fame, and it won't be because of Kenwright or Moshiri or any of the other idiots. It'll be because of the supporters, the history of the club, and what it means to all of us. He'll no doubt have remembered the way goodison reacts to a player giving 100%, how the crowd cheers players for putting in tackles. For me there are very few other managers available that can give the peoples club back to the people (in some ways).

Everything about the way Bielsa views football is reflected in what Evertonians want to see from their players. Relentless work ethic, in the face of the opposition, always looking to play forward and attack. Those goodison groans from the nothing sideways passes would go away.

Is it a risk? Absolutely. He's never joined a club mid-season but if he's even considering doing it now it's because of the opportunity to be involved in rebuilding something special. I hope that the fans see this and support it. I hope Kenwright doesn't ruin it. I hope we are sitting here in 6 months time thankful we have a squad that plays Everton football again.

No, that was Pablo Quiroga.

He was First Team/Under 23 coach at Leeds whilst Bielsa was there.
