We really are not set-up at any level to convince an elite manager to consider us as a serious proposition.

The closest we got was with Koeman, and he has a big name, but has a patchy record as manager at best, as we found out to our cost.

The associated spending under Koeman would have been more suited to a better manager, but we cocked it up and missed the boat again.

Spurs achieved their elevation in status more organically and through consistently good decision-making, but we fall at that hurdle as well.

It goes without saying that our strategy and execution has to improve drastically but without an Usmanov-type injection of cash, which is hardly likely, then at least as far as future managers go, we are not going to be in a position to attract the Mourinhos of this world, whether we want such a manager or not.

I don't think Silva will be here this time next year but although we are by circumstance restricted in the type of manager we can get, it doesn't at all mean that we can't make the right choice from amongst the managers who will be available.

This a key issue for me. Everything still feels incredibly piecemeal at Everton, despite there being a director of football here.

Well it matters when you're talking about them having 'a long-term stable strategy' doesn't it? Unless that strategy is to sack their manager every year, they either don't have it or they're not very good at implementing it.

That doesn't mean that they aren't a good side or that they haven't made good decisions, but it can hardly be used as evidence of stability.

This really is what Everton need above anything else. Stated in its crudest form its how are we going to play as a team, how are we going to buy/develop the players to do this, what process are we going to use to select a manager to implement this. For at least the last two decades we haven't had a long term strategy. I'm hoping to God that Brands can develop and implement one.

Deffo, he would have put a long overdue bomb under this place but that and his reputed 15m a year make it but a dream. I've deluded myself into thinking he's waiting for Uzi and the new stadium to be unveiled then he'll stride in as our new manager shouting "kopites are gobshtes"

My desperation is boundless :oops:
