New Everton Manager

[riddick]

Of the managers available with PL experience I think he is the best choice with the exception of Conte. We could have gone for Garcia or Galtier but it’s a huge gamble to appoint someone on the basis of what they have achieved in other leagues as Spurs may well find with Fonseca.

Literally every top manager in the PL had 0 "PREMIER LEAGUE" experience when they were hired. It's a myth you need to have been in this league to do well, sobbing Moshiri idiotically has taken to heart.

I'd wager is probably better to get someone from the outside than one of the crap nothing managers with "PREMIER LEAGUE" experience that are on the damn merry go round and we wonder why we never progress.

For me it's just apathy now. We've rarely threatened to do anything in the 30 years I've been on this planet so it's just been easier to expect nothing. It's not healthy to invest much emotion in this club.

I don't think Nuno is going to transform the club but I don't think he can get us to finish higher than 10th so at least that'd be improvement.

This. We are a mid table club and happy to be that, I’ve accepted that now. Nuno is coming in to keep things ticking over, Moshiri just wants us in the Premier League for the stadium move.

Well then we’ll see that entertaining football at Everton then won’t we, thankfully.

...won’t we?

We dont need to see good entertaining football, we need to see points, the 2 dont always go together, only points count.

An article from The Athletic on our new manager. This is an exciting appointment.

Nuno or no one!

 

[MikeH72]

We dont need to see good entertaining football, we need to see points, the 2 dont always go together, only points count.

I think that’s the thinking of the club as well. Our aim is now to simply exist, get enough points to finish between 8th and 14th.

Feels like an announcement kind of day doesn’t it.

Galtier please.

 

[Dixie1sixty]

I see. I hope we sign lots and lots of his players then.

I agree. A lot of his players were significantly better than ours.

 

[MikeH72]

I agree. A lot of his players were significantly better than ours.

And played wonderful football.

What's important to note with Nuno is that he has taken a very average defence and made them PL-quality.

This isn't the same as Martinez, whose career has always been subject to questioning about how his teams defend.

 

[MrGrumpy]

How long have you know about Galtier?

Since people mentioned him here, but his history shows he a loyal team builder who stays competitive dispute selling players and likes to use young players

 

[Dixie1sixty]

And played wonderful football.

Yep. Played a lot of good teams off the park

 

[Bebeto]

Net spend of 150 mil though. Not bad really

Exactly that...plus look at the value of their squad compare to ours...adama, neto, jimenez, dendoncker, etc...a lot more value there.

I think that’s the thinking of the club as well. Our aim is now to simply exist, get enough points to finish between 8th and 14th.

We need to change the club motto then, to ‘it’ll do’ and replace the tower with a guy shrugging.

This appointment really hammers home what a disjointed mess of a club we are. There’s no linear progression at all, player and managerial acquisitions are all over the place. Dread to think where we’ll be in five years time
