New Everton Manager

[BirkenheadBlue]

Unsworth himself was manager for a period and likely got a bump in income for same. It’s inevitable that has been retained since. Conservatively call it 2m a year, likely more. Why had he never left for a full time senior manager role?
Add his coaching and support staff of 7-10 least and we’ll call it 4m..
Thereafter a squad of 20 overpaid numpties some of whom are on close to prem contracts and we could call it and average of 500k a year (conservative given how we spend money) and 20m is not unrealistic.

And for my next trick, I will conjure a stack of numbers out of thin air…

If the current shortlist is Nuno, Moyes and Ferguson (as per the Mail) then there really is no point Brands being here.

The Alex Iwobis and Fabian Delphs of this world won’t sign themselves mate

These are all placeholder reports in the mainstream media. They know nothing. Frankly, I doubt that the club knows who they want that they could get, so how would the media?

Moshiri has no need to panic - we are not in a relegation fight like we were when he went for Big Sam after letting Koeman dangle on a rope for at least a month too long. This time, he has some space to make the proper choice. His ego dictates that he will want somebody with status. I think we could be waiting a bit longer for this one, and we might be surprised.

Alternatively, Carlo's departure has shattered him and he no longer cares. But is that really the likely reaction of a billionaire? I tend to think not. I wouldn't be amazed if the likes of David Moyes are furious at being used in our managerial smoke and mirrors.

All said, there's no harm in chatting with Nuno. I'd expect the club to sound out a number of plausible options. But I suspect it's a process. There will be a lot of managerial musical chairs this summer. This all buys us time under the guise of due diligence. Who knows who might become available when 11m a year is suggested as a possible compensation for having to sing the praises of Formby beach.

Spot on
By the middle of next week other candidates will be strongly linked .

Just realised that neither Mosh, Brands, Bill or DBB have actually given any names to the media.
So not sure where the recruitment is at currently

 

[Kev The Rat]

Spot on. Moyes had it initially. Vitor peraira was in advanced talks. Howe was mentioned.
Kovac was in goodison for the Chelsea game.

To be fair that was all mid season, and Ancelotti just suddenly became available so I’m not sure you can compare the situations.

I think every manager who is available now is all your going to get. No one is suddenly going to emerge.

Sometimes I think 'what's the point?'. Say we get lucky with (insert young, talented upcoming manager's name here), they do well for two seasons, look like building something really worthwhile, then a Russian oligarch or sheikh flutters some cash and they're off waving goodbye to us. We then enter the merry go round of managers and go through another 4 until we hit lucky again. Rinse, repeat. Unless a manager stays for a prolonged period which is very rare these days, we, and 95% of other clubs, are just in a continuous cycle of boom and bust. The business of football is tiresome these days. I've never been more underwhelmed by football than I am now.

I thought that was the point of a DOF to ensure continuity

That’s… not really what that article says, if you actually read past the headline

These were the odds a week before we appointed Ancelotti.

No he didn't, Emery was the target before Ancelotti became available

 

[blue to the bone]

The media are so clued in they didn't know carlo was leaving until Monday night

 

[Kev The Rat]

No I didn’t? I just didn’t expect Spurs to get him.

So why is not good news? Who cares what spurs are doing

Go back and look at it again mate.
Loads of media reports had it moyes was coming back. He was short odds on every where. Emery was strongly linked when koeman got it.

They finished 3 points above us, they are our direct competition, we should all care what they are doing.

As I’ve said there aren’t going to be any news entrants to the market now. All the firings/resignations have taken place

 

[Tony1985]

If they are the two front runners we are finished, just give it to Moyes and be done with it ffs. At least it will take away any optimism and expectations.
