Moyes Potential Replacement

[ijjysmith]

Mick McCarthy.

He's managed at international level and in the Premiership, good man manager and I think he could probably do a decent job.

My dad likes this.

Mick McCarthy is awful. He won 25% of premier league games with Wolves and 5% with Sunderland.

Offer me an alternative with a better track record and I'd take a look, but he is simply the best option out there. His eye for young talent is also pretty good, he spotted ebanks-blake at a young age and shaped him into a pretty decent goal scorer.

He probably is decent in the transfer market but being decent in the transfer market doesn't necessarily mean you're a good manager.

Martinez nails it for me, a positive manager who plays positive tactics, even with a crap team. Look at the way he walloped us 3-0 the other week, he got his tactics spot on.

But that's because he wasn't given time mate, he brought up a pretty average Sunderland side with huge points and wasn't allowed to add to the squad due to financial restrictions, so he never really stood a chance, although he still had a might good go at it.

Name me another manager that has won more than 25% of their games with Wolves in the premiership? That's a pretty decent percentage in the toughest league in the world. Imagine what he could do with a squad of our quality.

I realise what you're saying mate, but being good in the transfer market isn't all I'm saying he is good at. He has the ability to spot a player like Moyes, but unlike Moyes he isn't afraid to then give the guy a chance to forge a career in the top flight. If you look round the premiership there's a fair few players that have been signed by him from lower leagues and are now flourishing. Don't just take my word for it mate, look at the stats and his history of signings, top stuff, it really is.

The best alternative would be to have Martinez as manager and McCarthy as assistant.

TC - we need a manager who refers to himself in the third person and you can never be sure if he's talking about himself or a cartoon character!

I think McCarthy could probably teach Martinez a bit, don't you? He's managed some big egos at international level so he won't be intimidated coming to a big club like Everton. He'll also knock anyone not pulling their weight into touch, I just think he's ideal for where we're at right now mate.

Louis Walsh can do wonders with groups of 4 men.

I just don't rate him, we've got an ageing squad, who will all need replacing on a tight budget - could he do it? I personally don't think so.

Wolves are a pretty dire team too, so maybe you're right about them, however I'd say his Premier League experience doesn't really hold him in good stead, He has experience of getting beat. how good was the team Moyes inherited? Yes better than the Wolves team, but it wasn't a great squad. and needed changing.

Next year FA Cup final, Laudrup V Laudrup!!! Like the superbowl this year, playing for a fathers approval.

Gary Speed's name should be being banded about, however fate has sadly put paid to that one.

How would people feel about Slaven Bilic?
