New Everton Manager

[MikeH72]

He pinged in two lovely crosses for goals earlier in the season.

Never once tried it again for some reason.

Hasn’t he had about 3 assists in his Everton career?

Conte is supposed to be going to Spurs. Moyes is also about to sign a new contract with West Ham.

That sounds one too many...

I mean at Chelsea he came 3rd in the league, got them to a league cup final and won the Europa League.

Then at juve he won them the league and got them to the final of their cup. All things considered I think he done quite well at both sides just that both sides demand more then that.

The issue with sarri-ball (and all styles of play) is it takes time to imprint a style on a team and at the big clubs you don't have time. They just want the quick fix that'll deliver as fast as possible.

Having said all that I dont really think that we have the players to play sarri-ball. You need good ball playing cbs that can play a high line and a midfield and forwards that can press.

Fair point. Given some patience to build he could be an interesting choice.
Certainly preferable to the Moyes/Nuno types.

That's fine, Conte can fail at Spurs as they sell their best players and don't replace them resulting in him headbutting someone there. Moyes can carry on being boring and losing the games that matters. Neither really should affect us.

Yeah and two of those were them crosses earlier this season

Is potter not a championship retread?

Not really no. He managed in Sweden, spent a little time down there with Swansea and went to Brighton.

If his name was Pøtesxc and he’d managed a foreign mid table team people would be a lot more excited.
I’d like to think we can do better but he’s probably the most interesting of the ex/current prem list other than Conte/Sarri obviously

I look at someone like Nuno and I think he's hit his peak or close to it, and that might be fine if it means he's getting us back into that 6th/7th range consistently, but Potter seems to have no fortune in his finishes right now and his peak might be higher. I just like that better. Signing someone who is possibly trending up.

Also it'll be somewhat watchable I think which would be nice.

Those rough looks, like a gladiator.

Trouble is, he’s Italian, I always knew they were sneaky rats, Carlo just proved that Mussolini was no exception

At least Mussolini made the trains run on time.

I say we hire them all and have a cage fight at goodison, last man standing wins.

A cage fight where the prize is Everton?

I’d be getting my head caved in on purpose.

as long as Amanda Holden is forced to walk around in a bikini holding the round cards, I’m in!

I would take him just making our midfielders run.

Not really no. He managed in Sweden, spent a little time down there with Swansea and went to Brighton.

Potter took over the Swedish team Østersund in 4 division, and spent 4 years leading them up to the top division. In the debut season, they came in 8th place, and eventually they won the Swedish Cup. He then led them to the quarter-finals of the UEFA Europa League. Østersund had a rather limited budget compared to their competitors. It was a fantastic achievement.
