I will once again say that no matter what happens with Wigan whether they stay up or no, Roberto Martinez is a great manager and the man who I want in as Everton manager if Moyes leaves, I'm really losing faith in Moyes when he plays Neville ahead of our absolutely vital cog in midfield Darron Gibson for 'tactical reasons'.

Yep. Same against Chelsea; down to the Champions of Europe and he gives him a cameo, then drops him from sight for months again.
It's clear why - at least to me anyway. When things are going badly, he wants another talking point to deflect the blame. Therefore, he hauled Fellaini off yesterday as soon as he saw the chance (which was the correct call but Moyes did it for his own reasons, not because it was the correct call, I'm convinced of it) and then he brought on Barkley to calm the rabid fans down.
Everything he does is self-serving.
I agree... sort of. After all, Walter Smith was a well travelled, well respected tactician and David Moyes was a no mark from the lower leagues.
That said, I still think Neil Lennon or Duncan Ferguson would be disastrous choices as a next manager. We need someone a bit more well rounded than that.

Lennon is a massive massive weapon and Ferguson needs to be blooded elsewhere first, Prob as a assistant

McClaren, Martinez etc = more of the same with a slight change in style and footballing ethos.
I want a WINNER at our club, not someone who dresses up failure as success with a ready made excuse book.

Lennon will be out of work in the summer when Moyes ends up at Celtic, but if he ends up here I'll choke on my Everton mints.

If Moyes did leave I think we would have to set our sights low as the club would have nothing to offer any new manager.
I doubt any top European manager would agree a deal where he gets £4.50 each transfer window.
Will be someone low who is out of work and would take a job anywhere, Everton could not even buy another manager out of a contract. Steve Keane?
I would like Clarke but he would cost too much to pay West brom, so its either Moyes or someone who has been sacked multiple times and cannot get a league 2 job. Ince went to Blackpool so hes out as we couldnt pay him out of the contract either.

If we were to start considering the likes of lennon then we may as well check out some league2/conference managers as well it's about the same level.

Who is saying anything about a top european manager, We dont have one of those now
Why couldnt we buy a manager out of his contract, We will sell in the summer so could use money from that
Honestly this post makes me want to smash my face through my laptop

We can offer very good wages for the right candidate, the Fellaini money should be available to spend in the Summer, and lots of clubs will be trying to use the new TV revenue this Summer, rather than waiting for it to arrive next Summer.
We have to be weary of the type of manager that has no qualms about being sacked. You can get rewarded with 4 years worth of pay after stinking the place out for 12 months in the world of football management. If I was a football manager, I'd be happy to get sacked all the time.

So we have to sell in Summer then use that money to get a new manager who cant do any better with the resources we have than Moyes could?
A manager who still has to sell players to bring in new players, a manager who still wont get anything from the board apart from a small % of transfer money.
I just cannot see what will change by replacing the manager with similar candidates.
We still wont be able to compete money wise with Man Utd, City, Chelsea, Arsenal, Spurs or the RS so unless our 'new' manager comes in and gets huge transfer funds how are we ever going to be in a better position we are in now.
You all want change but there isnt any change.
I like Moyes but I cant see him ever doing any better than we do now. If the board was to change on the other hand, then I would be backing total change and a new future.
