Davek, I really don't reckon any internal candidate except ferguson would meet with approval from the fans - and even he would be met with concern. With a general meeting on the horizon, a new badge apparently coming in and Moyes having just left (with possibly Fellaini off too) that's a lot of heat for Kenwright to deflect - an internal appointment would exacerbate even further.

For me, I'm stunned they haven't offered it to Pereria straight away. He seems to be the popular choice with the fans, and if it went wrong Kenwright could fall back on "I listened to fans and heart rather than my head" etcetera. Martinez is doomsday for me but he is largely mixed amongst Blues. Stubbs and Weir really are absolute no-nos amongst the majority by the looks of things.
Kenwright would believe he could make that appointment easily enough: 'Moyes backs the new man'; 'it aint broke so let's not try to fix it', 'what we require now is stability on the great foundations in place' yada yada yada.....most will lap that **** up.

If he very clever, he will have Dunc as number 2

If it is an internal appointment I can see the #2 being a more experienced man. I think that'd have to be part of the 'sale', tbh. Otherwise outsiders will think they'd lost it completely: two clueless greenhorns feeding off each others panic in a potential future crisis...you can imagine the press this club would get.
 

That's not evidence the club are looking at him, it's media speculation on him in the wake of bookies odds tumbling on Pereira at hat time. I say again: there is NO evidence Everton are in for him. NONE.

I thought there were were quotes on here somewhere from his agent praising the Porto chairman and saying Everton and an unnamed EPL Club were in for him?
 
At this rate by July I'd be happy with Jags being player manager. I know appointments are probably taking a long time because there is a lot of time to work with in May and usually managers are only replaced quickly during the season and even then it might take a week or two. Still, I'd rather this whole debacle was wrapped up today with Pereira holding an Everton scarf at Goodison alongside Bill but I reckon the longer it drags on the more likely it will be we will get a good manager and not some knee jerk internal appointment like Stubbs.
 
Will we know anything on Monday what with it being a Bank Hol? There's going through due process and then there's dithering. Don't want this to drag into June. The new manager needs to meet the squad and organise transfers etc. times wasting BK!! I do hope it's not internal, surely if it was they'd just have announced it already and let them begin planning for the new season.
 
That radio interview Jenny Seagrove gave a few days ago seemed to indicate she knew who the new manager would be but "her lips were sealed".

She was probably just popcorning, but it was interesting.

Agents can drop names of potential suitors for their clients regardless of the truth of the matter.
 
Almost certain that it will be Pereira or Martinez with Neville as right hand man.....if it were the dreaded internal appointment it would have been done and dusted. The stumbling block to my point of view could be that both those managers would likely want their own man in alongside them....Graham Jones if it's RM and some Portuguese Casanova if it's VP. I reckon the view that VP is thinking about it over the weekend and hence RM is sitting tight is about the best call so far.
I've got everything crossed that Hughes goes to Stoke.....my remaining fear is that (other than an internal appointment) it could very well be the underwhelming Malcolm MacKay.a
 
I found this on a fan blog

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.


Couldnt agree more on the Pereira bit!. Moyes as put down some great foundations at Everton and i dont think they will all of a sudden go to pot so we will still have that toughness about us and that hard to beat, never give up mentality!.

But im all for a manager of Pereira's ilk to come in and add to that by making us more attacking, dominate the ball and press high up the pitch and as he says, defend from the front. That is how the game as gone these days, that is how all the top teams across Europe play the game, quick attacking, possesion game and pressing high up the pitch and making the opposition surrender the ball.

I just hope Kenwright makes the right decision here on the manager front and gives Pereira a chance. I think he is high up on our shortlist, it's no coincidence that he was linked to the job out of the blue months ago when Moyesy changed his mind from seeing about his future after the transfer window to then changing it to the end of the season. I think alarm bells was ringing in the board room and that shook Kenwright into life and made him start looking at candidates, and it took him as far as Porto. Maybe he did get a bit of help by Pereira's agent making the call that his man fancied the job, but weve kept a close eye on him and i think the job is gonna go to either Pereira or Martinez in the coming weeks.
 
Agents can drop names of potential suitors for their clients regardless of the truth of the matter.

In this case, its fact that he has met with his current clubs hierarchy and that he holds them in some level of esteem - I don't think he'd jeopardise a potential new contract with them by making names up. Call me gullible, but if he has specifically named Everton then I for one think he must've spoken with us, otherwise he would have simply said 'two unamed top 10 EPL Clubs'. Additionally, going off how many on here see our Club as being amateurish at best, why would an agent use us to 'frighten' a very smart Portuguese chairman...there's better Clubs to popcorn with.
 
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.


Isnt apposed to selling stars and getting not alot of money back to re-invest. Doesnt come across as being a problem to the board and demand for things we havent got. Said he likes his teams to No.1, have a big work ethic and knuckle down. Gets satisfaction in coaching youngsters and progressing them ready for bigger things in the future and turning them into big valued players the club can make money on, yeah, i'd say he sounds exactly the kind of manager Kenwright would want.
