Exactly. That's my point. There's no evidence either way...but I'm aware that my pov is an opinion...and it's a pov that isn't contradicted by evidence to the contrary.

I knew bits and pieces about him before, and liked what I knew.
Don't know how accurate that profile is, but I'm sold.

Yeah fair enough then. Deep down I think I agree with most of what you're saying. I'm working hard to bury that for the time being though.
I wish there was a frustrating 1-1 draw at home this weekend to take our minds of all this.

One minute you label the Echo & journo's such as O'Keefe as the clubs lackys & now after them printing a full page on Pereira & an Echo journo stating on TS that Pereira had been speaking to the club - you're choosing to take it that the club have said nothing & they're making it up. lol, your credibilty is sinking fast on this thread.
Yeah.. One place below us...
Post Benitez there was no sign or indication in all the crises that Hodgson, Dalglish (internal but vastly experienced) or Rodgers was going to miss out to Steve Clarke or Carragher (read Steve Round or Neville).. Only a fool or a Kenwright would do that.

Vitor Pereira Gets My Vote
As speculation continues over who the next Everton manager will be I have made up my mind.
Everton need a change, someone who can bring in their own ideas and philosophies, someone not connected to the club. There has been much talk about the Toffees hiring from within, Stubbs, Weir, Ferguson and Neville have all been put forward as possible successors to David Moyes, and although I like the idea of a former player taking the reigns I just don’t think the time is right.
All those former players would progress as managers if they left the club and took charge of teams in the lower leagues, to grit their teeth, form their own playing styles and gain some vital experience. You have to remember that Moyes was in charge for a long time and he would have had a massive influence on their coaching styles and I fear that those former players, especially Neville, would try to replicate Moyes in every way. Why is that a bad thing you may be asking, well firstly I don’t think anyone could do the same job as Moyes, he came into the club and made it his own he didn’t try copy his predecessor and their attempts at replicating the Scot would end in failure and it could harm their managerial futures.
A change is what we need, Moyes did a great job but I did have some reservations about the way we played at times, I know everybody is saying ‘be careful what you wish for’ but I believe there is a manager out there who could work on the same budget and bring a more attacking style of play that would please the true football fan. Martinez could be the man, I like him as a person the way he conducts himself and he does play an exciting brand of football, though he did see his Wigan side relegated this season so his defensive side of the game may let him down, but he did win the FA Cup, something Moyes failed to do despite having a better squad than the Spaniard.
My Number one candidate is the Porto boss Vitor Pereira, he has had a good season with the Portuguese side and on a similar budget to Moyes, in fact he even tried to sign Mirallas before we eventually brought him in. I also see Pereira as a manager that comes from the same stock as AVB and Jose Mourinho, two managers I have a lot of time and respect for and if he is anything like them he will be a fantastic choice to take control at Everton.
Pereira won the title with Porto this season, not hard you may say seeing as the Portuguese league is usually only a two horse race (sorry Sporting fans), but when you see some of the players he lost such as Columbian forward Falcao, possibly the world’s best striker, then you realise what a job he has done to keep that side winning.
Everton have never had a non British manager but then again I can’t remember the last Everton side that played truly great attacking football so maybe it’s time we tried something new, someone new, the prospect of Pereira is one that excites me more than any other name linked with the Everton vacancy.
Whoever we pick they will get the support of the Evertonians, this is an exciting time, one that could shape the future of our club, it’s important we take a step forward to pastures new and I think Pereira is the man for the job.

Where's the evidence that the club is looking at ANYBODY?
Where's the approach for Martinez?
Where's the official club statement saying Weir, Stubbs, Neville and Ferguson have all been interviewed already?
It's all 'a journalist says', every last bit of it, no matter what option you believe is likely. Which is why the intelligent people on this board read between the lines. That's what you always have to do with Everton. If you took everything at face value until Everton actually announced it, well.... you'd just be sitting their clapping Kenwright.
The club are sly. They use their influence. Just as one example, remember that Echo article by the RS James Pearce a few weeks ago after the derby, taking the piss? Well for the next home game vs West Ham, the club revoked the reserved seats for Greg O'Keeffe, Dave Prentice and John Thompson. They were banned from the press box. Thompson had to scurry around to Bullens Road to get 3 tickets before the match sold out. That's the relationship between Everton and the Echo. The Echo doesn't fart unless the club says so, fearful of repercussions.
That is why I brought up the Echo covering Pereira but none of the other external candidates. I'm not even saying he's a cert or anything, just that's its a good indication he might be in the club's thoughts.

I'm sorry to be a spolit sport but read kenwright words "I have got people in mind," ... "A lot of those mentioned are not too far away. Everton have got a type, it's a very hard-working industrial football club." That does not sound like Bill will take a gamble on Vitor, is he the Everton type.

We'll hardly score a run, and have no chance of getting the likes of Cook or Root out. Still, I'll be up to all hours watching, just like I do when Everton play like arse.
But yes, where's Vitor ffs?
