Hi all, I shall be honest and say I am not an Everton fan as such but have been following the betting and watching the odds change with great interest.
My observations, thoughts are that if Everton were to appoint within they would have done so by now. My reasoning for this is. I would assume UTD would have asked for permission to talk to Moyes about the job at least a couple of weeks before it was announced. This would have given them ample oppatunity to announce Moyes successor before the end of the season.
I think if martinez was your man he would have been unveild as the new manager on monday.
I beleive Kenwright and co know who their man is. Why has he not been rolled out as the new gaffer ? Thats an easy one for me, whoever it is still has buisness to settle at his present club ie the season isnt over yet. Could be a manager from the continent, but I dont really think that will happen.
Conclusion
The one name that has consistantly been close to the top of the bookmakers odds and not gone away is neil lennon. As far as I am aware neither Celtic or Lennon have come out and said he will definatly be there next season. Celtic play in the Scottish cup final this weekend and I wouldnt be at all suprised to hear Lennon has been appointed early next week.
I may be way off the mark but at 7/1 I think it is well worth a punt. Good luck for the new season.
Save your money mate.... Lennon will not be our new manager...if he is I will deffo remove myself from this forum.
