New Everton Manager

[GoSoccerToffees]

Honestly, some awful posts on here. Proper grim outlook.

Firstly, the seeming happiness from some posters that we're 'back in our box'. Unable to truly attract a top coach and happy to maybe compete for top 7 with Graham Potter. Uugghh.

Then there's the posters completely unable or maybe unwilling to see any positives in NES attributes as a coach.(He has many).

Maybe we did contact Conte, maybe we thought an appointment like that would be 50/50 boom or bust, maybe he didn't fancy it. Who knows?

But completely dismissing a bloke who got Wolves promoted from the championship at the first ask playing a completely new style of football for the squad and identifying the likes of Matt Doherty being best suited as a wing-back or Coady a centre-back. Then having back to back European qualification.

It boggles the mind.

To those who don't think we should realistically hope for Conte or Mancini, your pragmatism does not belong in this pastime IMO.

We should expect the best. We are a massive club. Just look at the waiting list for season tickets at the minute without winning anything.

I was a toddler when we won the FA cup FFS. Yet, every season we finish mid table and don't compete hurts.

The goal for Everton should always be to challenge for major honours. It's intrinsic to our values. I've had it passed down from my Grandad, Dad and Uncle. We are the fourth most successful club in English football.

If Nuno doesn't declare his intent to improve the squad and have us competing right at the top, it will be there and then I cast anything but good will and total support in his direction.

But I guarantee he will, and he'll back his own ability as a coach to do it. So should we.

And played wonderful football.

Yep. Played a lot of good teams off the park

They didn’t even play us off the park…

I’ve tried this mate.

I said earlier on in this thread....please not Nuno

Seems it will be Nuno now....

I am an Everton fan, through thick and thin and I WILL get behind him, or whoever else it might be.

We could get Conor Coady?

Great post

Only a fool never changes their mind. Happy to admit being wrong, I think a bit more research is needed before dismissing Nuno as Everton manager, the more I read the more I see him as the ideal candidate.

Can we just reign in the negativity a bit in here please lads? Only positive thoughts please.

We shouldn't appoint anyone who hasn't won at least something of note be it a league title or domestic cup.

Not saying thats the be all and end all as Carlo shown but someone like Nuno will likely have us around 7th-11th with no trophies.

I'll back the bloke and hope he does well but with the money we have spent in recent years we should be at the minimum looking at a Galtier type appointment if we couldn't attract a Conte type.

Not last season no. But they were without all their best players so we got lucky.

Quite often so were we….

Sorry.

 

[Peter The Dog]

i wonder what the hold up is? hopefully there's been a hitch.

What about the season before when they had all their best players and their primary tactic to score against us was long throws from Ryan Bennett and they lost 3-2?

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.

But we have only really existed since 1995, since then we havent done anything of note, we are the only club in the top 4 divisions to not add a single honour to the honours list.
We are not really in a position to expect anything

It would have been progress under Ancelotti.

It would be progress under Nuno Santo.

Ancelotti had credentials to suggest that was progress though and not the end result.

Fans wanted Koeman sacked - 6 games into a new season on the back of qualifying for Europe in 7th place. In fact, after the 7th game, Moshiri was issuing a statement of confidence and he was sacked after 9.

Finishing 7th being lavished as credentials for Nuno Santo to be Everton's manager is daft.

Why have people decided that this is the limit for Nuno though? If he can get that with Wolves a newly promoted team why couldn’t he achieve more with Everton?

Koeman had assembled the poorest Everton teams in our post Moyes PL history in 17/18 after spending more than any other manager had. We were plying so poorly that relegation was a genuine concern amongst the fan base at that time. That’s why he was fired. I’m not sure what Koeman’s firing has to do with Nuno though?
