New Everton Manager

[ForeverEverton]

Alan Brazil is clueless, just said BFS had "peanuts" to spend but Carlo had 100s of millions to spend at Everton!!! WTF!

According to the echo Brands has encountered over 40 applicants sounding out interest over the job. I know it's the echo but that supports what the mail reported where its seems like this process is far from over and there might be some thoroughness applied. So the moyes vs. Nuno narrative thankfully seems premature.

Maybe nuno and moyes are the first 2 to be interviewed because they have other jobs lined up and we are just going through the proper process . I'm fairly sure it will be neither and someone emerges from left field.

Again I hope the club are letting the media speculate as a smoke screen whilst they approach their real targets. Nothing has come from the club and we can only hope it isnt any of the tripe we have been seeing....

AND to make it worse BFS on Talksport talking about Everton, making my ears bleed.......

Has he thrown his hat in the ring yet?

Nuno Espirito Santo: Wolves boss worried about lack of first-half goals

Wolverhampton Wanderers have failed to score in the first half of 58 Premier League games since returning to the top flight in 2018; Follow Wolves vs Crystal Palace in our dedicated live blog on Friday with highlights published one hour after the final whistle

Nuno seems perfect for Everton

Irrespective of how you view Moyes’s first spell in charge of us, the fact is last season was the first since he left that wasn’t objectively terrible.

We've seen plenty of shouts in here before for managers based on a short spell of success, and even hired a couple in Silva and Koeman that didn’t work out so well. I doubt many would want Hassenhutl these days, either.

As with players, we need that stroke of good luck/good scouting/good timing that sees us be the one to get the diamond in first time of asking, rather than waiting for another PL club to have some joy and then paying over the odds and/or having inflated expectations.

I don’t think Nuno would be a horrible appointment FWIW but it’s hard not to get swept up in the “what if?” factor of Gallardo et al.

Allardyce spent nearly as much in 1 window than Allardyce did in 18 months. And he spent it on Mangala, Walcott and Tosun.

In what sense? Any under 18s with potential are going to hit a huge, rotund roadblock as soon as they step up to the under 23s.

There's been a restructure of the ages of the teams, lots more U23's are being released compared to previous years, we're finally looking like an academy producing the right way. Next step will be getting some more loans out earlier.

No he said he doesnt think Farhad will be calling him and that a certain element didnt want him due to his style of play tag which is like a ten ton weight around his neck.....

Wasn't though, was it?

Lets not act like children now.

Also, for what i'm saying isn't that we weren't good at any stage, it's towards the end, we'd all got bored of what was being served up.

The mind is excellent thing, in that it can block out loads of the bad stuff, but remembers positives. Moyes football towards the end was absolutely dire.

The game Howard scored in that one .
Remember it been absolutely dreadful.

The more I read about Marcello Gallardo, the more I like. Young, dynamic, a winner.... would be pleased if someone like him came in, swept away all the garbage and rebuilt.

Not suffering bluffers, fools and individuals putting in constant sub par preformences should be a key job description.

Most fans will be against whoever we appoint if it isn't a top manager mate.

Going from the name of Carlo Ancelotti to a mid tier manager is like going from steak to a processed ready meal.

The steak in Ancelotti's case turned out to be rancid though .

Revisionist writing that everything was brilliant under Moyes, well it wasn't. Id had a season ticket since the 70's and what i watched under him drove me away and i gave it up. I gave it up because of the crap his team was doing on the pitch, something just clicked and I'd had enough. I agree that he kept us in the league when we would likely have been relegated but that is as far as my thanks to him go. I never want to see that man ever in charge of us again and like someone said he's had one good year in the 8 since he left which happened to be the year that has been the strangest year for footy ever, it'll be interesting to see how well he does next season when the crowds are back.

Go back to what i've said, highlighting that I corrected myself, but it was low 30's.

Even with Allardyce I can't remember the mood being low around the ground as through those spells. As I repeated just above, he overstayed his welcome, fans were bored, and it shows by having 6-7,000 a game who never turned up.

Am I bias, cause i can't stand the fella? Absolutely... but that doesn't change the fact that he's had 1 good season in 10 seasons since he's left Everton, been sacked 3 times, and had a relegation, yet we're all clamouring for him. It's mental.

Think it's likely that both of you are just talking about the moment you realised Everton had hit a glass ceiling. It wasn't because of Moyes that that happened, but he was in charge when it did, and so in people's heads it becomes his fault. He stayed here a long time, it got a bit samey, people got bored and convinced themselves everything would change if he left because it was him holding us back. It takes about 10 seconds of looking at our record before and after him to make you realise this wasn't the case.

That being said, the same thing would apply if he came back. He's had his time here, it went well without actually being successful, and there's just no need at all for him to be given another go. I very much doubt he's even in the reckoning to be honest, and a mixture of lazy journalism and his team trying to make it sound like he's in demand and needs a better contract are all that's keeping his name in the frame.

40 managers applied for the job in 24 hours, I'd love to see the names on that list, we got to a short list pretty quick like lol

No, the media got to a shortlist

I for one welcome our new upside-down head overlord

This is an important point with some of the revisionism. I mean I am very pro Moyes, I think he did an excellent job here, but know I am in a minority in my outlook. The moment he walked back in people would be counting the years since he's won a trophy and starting at 11. It would be a lot of pressure. He would have all the baggage of the derby record too etc with very little of the patience the supporters showed.

I also don't think he has ever shown he can effectively manage a group a of players beyond the sort of 50-65 points bracket. He's very good at getting people there, but not sure he gets people beyond that. We have 59 points currently in the bag. The concern is he hits a glass ceiling exactly where we currently sit, and he doesn't have the credit in the bank of his st time where he took us from 17th or whatever to get there.

I reiterate though I like Moyes and I think he plays much better football than people give him credit for. West Ham this season have been brilliant with 3 or 4 attacking tricky players in the team at once. If we were going that route I'd prefer Rangnick myself.

I like him too mate. Things did go stale but along with Martinez' first season, Moyes was great in the initial years apart from the season we finished 17th. They are the only crumbs I can take from the last 20 years.

To me appointing him would just be an admittance of defeat and a sign of desperation, that we have no ideas and nowhere to turn.

It's been a sobering few weeks in particular, but I don't accept it's that bad, and that we have no options.
