Whatever manager we get must be rubbing their hands after seeing Martinez, Koeman, Ancelotti practically fail in their objectives for this club, yet are offered top jobs at the Belgium National Team, FC Barcelona and Real Madrid.

It's a win win,
 
I just want a manager who wants to be here. Genuinely fed up of managers and players coming in after losses like nothing is wrong, talking down our expectations, looking like they’re doing us a favour just being here.

If we can’t have winning football then at least give the fans a bit of love for the club to get behind. Carlo had his moments of doing it but they died away as the season went on. We had a few games under Dunc and Unsworth (not saying they are the answer at all btw) where the fan base could get united behind someone they liked and there was a bit of fire back in the fan base. Everything else since Martinez’s first season though has just been complete apathy with fans just bickering with each other and even the wins being largely meaningless and predictable.

I’d take any manager who genuinely wants to be here and can motivate the players and the fans to get us all moving forward. I’m not even bothered about style at this point. I’d love to see an Everton team with 11 plyers scrapping for every ball, getting it forward quickly and battling for headers, throwing tackles in just as much as I’d like to see one that could pass a team off the park. The problem is we’ve been seeing neither, teams just floating apathetically through games season after season.
100% this, great post.
 
What do people think about Benitez coming? He's managed some amazing players in his time, and given the right tools for the job I definitely think he'd achieve more than most of the names on the list. I know there's baggage, and all that "small club" nonsense when he managed the rs, but it's one of the few appointments that I wouldn't be certain would fail.
Yesterdays man with yesterdays tactics

I feel excatly the same, want some fire and pride on that pitch, like they all care.

But not sure if thats me being too old fashioned / romantic etc.

God knows.
 
Wow
So we give up trying and just aim to fail

We could or the owners could actually have some ambition and drive and remove the likes of Brands and Kenwright from the club and bring proper people to run it and change the toxic culture of mediocrity that runs through us.

I've been of the belief for a while that we wont have sustained success until the club changes how it is ran - we may get the odd 6th or 7th placed finish but I cant see us ever replicating the likes of Leicester with how we are currently ran from the top down.
 

Thanks for taking the time to post mate, a Wolves fan came yesterday and said similar. I'll echo some of my thoughts concerns that I gave to him to you and see if you have a different outlook.

To what degree do you think the loss of Jimenez and Jota really did for you last season? We had a similar drop off when losing Lukaku and Barkley. How much of the drop off would you attribute to those 2 players?

My concern is exactly yours though. Wolves in their 2 great seasons got 59 and 57 points respectively. Do you think he hits a bit of a glass ceiling at that point? As we are currently coming off a season with 59 points, and the concern would be, is he capable of getting any higher than that? Did you get the sense at Wolves, if he was given more time and backing he could get much beyond that?
Yes, Jimenez was a great loss, but it was Oct/ Nov when we lost him to his horrific injury and the football at the time was still a little poor up until this point to be honest, yes with Jimenez we would have scored more goals and gathered more points and possible Adama would have had a target to try and cross to. Jota was struggling to even make the first 11 towards the end of his Wolves career. It did not help going into last season with one recognized centre forward, who got injured but even if he was fit, we would be nowhere near the top 6.

You would need a crystal ball today if Nuno could have gone higher, be honest we have some good players –good attacking players, players who would get into the Everton team, so it’s not all down to personal. The time was right to move forward, it is a gamble. I’m not sure Everton are after a safe pair of Nuno hands at this point, Nuno is very much Wolves answer to David Moyes. I wish Nuno every success in the future but it was just turning stale at Wolves, lockdown would not have helped, stuck in the delights of Wolverhampton with his family in Porto, it was noted he had not seen his wife for a year – this would have a personal effect any most people.

It's 2021.

He has not been relevant for about ten years. It would be a ridiculous appointment.
