New Everton Manager

[Gilbert..]

That's such a shout. Got Schalke to 2nd in his first season then to the last 16 in the CL the following year. Bit of a poor bit of form seen him sacked though and Schalke must be regretting that dearly now.

Love them. I made so much money betting on their games last year betting on the opposition.

Contno.

Sacked within 2 years.

 

[LeeCarsley]

idk why but im now weirdly optimistic that we can get Conte. I might be going insane.

 

[ForeverEverton]

Contno.

Thats that then!

.... OR is it?

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.

Thanks mate, and again a really good summary.

I think the positives for Nuno are the lack of downside risk. He knows the league very well, builds teams from the back and in honesty I do think losing Jota/Jiminez and replacing them with that Silva killed your season to a greater degree.

You are right about time. I think he had a lot of credit in the bank at Wolves as he took you from what-half way up the championship? So he had earned that time and respect. He's obviously from a coiled spring here and the expectation, rightly or wrong is going to be that we break into the top 6 (which is the same for Wolves to be fair). Both clubs have spent a fair bit of money and will likely continue too, so that had to be the expectation really. So in honesty, if he had a season like you've had this season, he will struggle to survive it, but if he had 2 in the bank like you did before, I think he'd be ok.

As for the Mendes link, it was more the other way mate. I meant that without the favourable signing's from Mendes how good will he be? As I said to the other Wolves fans, certain Everton fans are impressed with his recruitment and feel he could do the same here. My point is thats not really his recruitment. I'm sure he helped, but fundamentally the relationship is with Wolves not Nuno. So we can't just assume it would work the same way.

As for Wolves yea, it's an interesting one Bruno Lage. He's probably not the most favourable manager and was a bit up and down at Benfica, but he fits your system and what you are trying to do, so in that sense he makes sense. It will certainly be an interesting ride. Getting Jiminez and Neto fit will be important for you guys. You've probably got 30+ league goals tied up in those two.

Why did you let Jota go to that lot by the way?

 

[Jim Hopper]

Come on Mosh just get NES announced and let’s go on with the summer recruitment.

 

[catcherintherye]

Thats that then!

I wonder if we will make a big play at Poch now?


Seems a risk Conte at Spurs to me, but could go very well there.

 

[LeeCarsley]

doubt he'd come to knife at a gunfight then, nevermind

 

[allen]

He didn’t get sacked by West Ham though. They chose not to renew his contract iirc.

they then went crawling back to him and he’s just had a great season with them.

whilst bringing in coufal and soucek for little money compared to some of our signings.

I think there are many worse candidates than Moyes.

However, he'll forever be the guy who took us as far as he could. He was happy managing expectations, keeping us just below that glass ceiling.

Rightly or wrongly, realistically or otherwise, we want more than that.

There's nothing to suggest he could effectively apply the increased resources we have now. The shot he had at the big time, with United, he flunked spectacularly.

Ultimately, for me, going with Moyes would feel like surrendering our hopes of breaking back into the elite under Moshiri.

Did anyone else know he played the tuba?

 

[AmericasToffee]

doubt he'd come to knife at a gunfight then, nevermind

I'm chuckling at Mina, Keane, Gomes, Sigurdsson, Coleman, Holgate trying to adopt that kind of mindset.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Until Keane Coleman Davies and Siggurdson are gone as a minimum, I don’t hold out much hope for any manager. If Pickford goes back to throwing it in his net every match then that’s another problem. In my view those 4 are the rotten core of this squad.

Then there’s all the non consequential chaff that needs to go like Besic and all the loan players we don’t want.

Then we’re into Delph Gomes Iwobi Bernard

It’s a huge job for whoever takes it. There’s not many of that lot that you’d hold out hope could turn it around. Maybe Iwobi and Gomes at a massive push because they’ve shown odd flashes but even that is reaching. The rest haven’t shown anything under any manager at all.

The main problem with this club is the fact we are to nice. Bolasie played what 6 months at a push for us then sat in his house for 4 half years on full pay and we let him. No other club would stand for that. Yes Arsenal had Ozil but at lest he had a bit of pride in himself and left.
Besic refused to go, Sandro ran out his contract.
I don’t get why Everton didn’t terminate there contracts for being unprofessional.
Then we gave Mirallas a new contract, an talk of Siggy getting a new contract

 

[Lanolin]

That Kirkbride article is embarrassing even by the Echo's standards. 'Appointing Nuno might help Everton to sign Neto, which there is no indication they'd like to do'. Jesus Christ.

 

[MrGrumpy]

He has never won a thing, been sacked by wham and relegated sunderland.
WHat is wrong with our fans?

I’ll never forget what he said about Sunderland after about 2 days.
We are getting relegated lol

This is so right.
