Mentoring

[TimHowardsBeardJuice]

For me the problem is the club don’t how to adopt the role of DoF, you can’t have a DoF role at a football club and then let various managers come and identify players they want. This how we’ve ended up with mishmash squad.

The DoF provides the tools (players) for the manager HE chooses (if allowed to) that’s how I see the role anyway, if not don’t have that role at the club because it’s set up to fail.

In this case the DoF was hired after FL was in place. I would hope that with FL's sacking the usual order of things would prevail. This being Everton of course I know better.

We should always have a short list of our next manager even if we appoint one this week the one after him should be getting identified, that’s a little too proactive for this club though.

I don't know if we should always have a shortlist but in this case we certainly should have been looking at replacements since our last games before the world cup when the wheels started to really come off the wagon.

My feeling is that if FL is sacked we will have a replacement within a couple of days with a contract until the end of the season.

The only people who are getting or accepting a short term contract are the likes of Rooney Ferguson which scares me.

I just don't really see how this would ever work. Where would the senior figure fit in to the structure? If they're so good why don't we just get them to manage the team instead of mentoring the bloke who does? It seems like a bit of a convoluted solution to the problem of us consistently making poor appointments.

If we are looking at a manager that needs a "mentor" then the problem isn't the new manager.
