New Everton Manager

[KaiserEFC]

Nuno would be a poor appointment. Firstly, the football will be boring as anything and I simply can’t deal with that anymore. Also, that Wolves team was handmade for him with their dodgy Mendes dealings and the second he had a few injuries and had to sell a player he couldn’t cope.

His high effort/intensity approach lasted two games prior to Carlos appointment. That Arsenal game was absolutely horrendous.

9/10 we lose that Chelsea match too, absolutely battered us as much as I loved the game and how much effort we put in, I was sat clenching for 85 mins until the third went in

I'd be less anxious about a new manager coming in if we weren't saddled (financially and on the pitch) by a very flaccid squad of meh. We all know loads of them need booting. My fear, Carlo or otherwise, is that we won't see the turnover needed. Some utter barnacles clinging to good ship Everton.

I feel like this last episode shows us that the fit is as much, or even more important than caliber. Some of the "football" I've watched over the last few months is the worst I've seen.

I am not sure how sustainable Dunc's high effort/intensity approach could be though? It's a shame Cahill isn't further along, I always thought his attitude epitomized us...

I'm not sure that would necessarily be his approach to full time management, it seemed like he just felt it was the best way to get a response out of the team and crowd in the short term. By all accounts he's actually a good coach and tactically astute. No way I want him taking the job though.

One good thing about appointing Nuno is the amount of time in my life I’ll have back because I won’t be watching Everton.

All very fair mate and I agree with most of that.

My big concern is as you've said, that he works under a very particular system but struggles to move beyond that. You take away the relationship with Mendes (or at least reduce it) and has he got the broader skillset to succeed? I don't think he's set the world on fire anywhere other than Wolves.

I don't mind the defensive football so much. Whenever I have seen Wolves against us I've always been impressed and you were the better team (with the exception of the 1st game up you had where I thought we were v impressive with 10 men for most of the game). But even this season, you lost both games, but I thought you were the better team in both matches.

We had virtually 3 great years from his playing system, if he came into Everton and managed to play like we did in our 1st Premier season, I’m sure the Everton fans would be happy and would see some progress and style to attain to, ask yourself when we first entered the Premier league would you have been happy if Everton played in our manner?, if so and Nuno, can replicate this at Everton?


Ignoring playing systems- Nuno the manager would be 100 percent committed and behind the project he would be working in, the guy was separated from his family for 12 months, the guy gave 250k of his own money to a food poverty charity in Wolverhampton. His backroom staff are also essential so I would see no room for old favourites (big Dunk)


I am not saying Nuno is your answer, but I have no doubt if he were to take over any club, he would give 100%, be committed, stamp a playing style and not just disappear when a bigger club came calling. My concern is that I am not sure Everton fans have the patients if things start off slowly but as a committed manager, I would not be concerned at all. I have never known a manager leave our place with so much love for what he did


I would not worry too much about the Mendez link, not all our playing staff were connected to this guy, but it is our board who have a close connection with Mendez and Gestifute, hence the reason we were able to attract certain players when in the Championship. It does have its pluses and minus, look at players like Pedro Neto and Jota, purchased when young and unknown.


We now have our own concerns, looks like we are about to appoint the Portuguese Kevin Keegan which is possible going to be some ride next season. Best of luck going forward and whoever you appoint.

Sarri would probably be good eventually

His season at chelsea had some shockers (4-0 to Bmouth, 6-0 to city) but his Napoli played great - eventually

 

[AmericasToffee]

Would be hilarious to see him come in smoking fags and calling out all the wasters... then replace Sigurdsson with the only player less mobile than him in the world in Jorginho

Jorginho is thrice the player Sigurdsson is. Constantly among the top of the league in forward passes iirc

Sarri or ten hag for me.

Rest are atrocious

People keep saying that but Wolves were good on the eye for three years to my mind

Yeah Chelsea missed a fair few chances that game if I remember, we were also gifted two goals from Zouma and their GK weren’t we.

I keep seeing people say Nuno plays negative football, what's your take? I always thought Wolves were decent on the eye and had a good shape until this season but obviously there were reasons?

 

[Timhowardsswearbox]

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,

Fat Sam is just waiting for Simeone to leave Atletico...

I think the worries about Nuno’s link to Mendes are lazy. I think Wolves owners are the major reasons behind Mendes double dipping and even triple dipping on deals in some cases. Clearly they have stakes in Mendes agency and him with the club.

While Mendes may be in Nunos ear here and there I think he’d still have to go through big Marcel anyway.
