New Everton Manager

[Saint Domingo]

Has anyone credible said it will be Moyes recently?

No, and the longer it goes on the less likely it is it will be him. Whilst that contract remains unsigned though, who knows.

It's war for me if Moyes comes back. All out war from the off.

He spat in our face.

NEVER FORGIVE
NEVER FORGET

i'd bring him back for the transfers alone. Imagine signing players who were good again. Just think of all the great signings, Lescott, Baines Jags Arteta Cahill the list is endless, and the last one, John Stones.
Yes we'd lose away to the big six. big deal. I just want to be half decent again,

Surprised that Claudio Ranieri’s name hasn’t been mentioned by the media yet, I think he’s free.

Premier League experience and winner. Not for me though, mixed bag.

Not really, other than a few websites and tabloids supposedly quoting Kenwright not really mate.

Any truth in these rumours of talks with Pirlo? It would be a massive gamble but at least he might be motivated.

I sort of think the opposite (with the caveat being if he signs the contract it complicate things). If we can't get one of the others to agree, he becomes a very viable option.

The esk says it’s definitely not Moyes....so get digging your trench

The Esk also said we couldnt spend last summer, and a few years ago was telling people to go get Witsel on their shirts.

Far too old to embark on the extensive job required IMO

Where has it been mentioned please Mr Butties?

Has it? I must have missed that.

I very rarely get onboard with you mate, however on this I am In absolute agreement.

"Everton fans are a disgrace"... he should be nowhere near us.

He's utter vermin. And from the bits I've taken notice of since leaving here I'd say he's gotten worse. A cantankerous poisonous get.

I won't wear him being here. I'd rather have the galloot or even Gerrard as manager....so that gives you some idea how much I loathe him.

"I know Everton....I know Everton all too well"

Scum.

Imagine Brands trying to justify appointing Moyes with a straight face. If he really is leading the process then Moyes surely had absolute zero chance. Brands has a credibility issue as it is. He'd be a full blown laughing stock appointing Moyes. For that matter, I think it would rule Martinez out as well. If either of them are realistic contenders.

His problem was that he failed to wield the axe after the first season to bring in better quality (apart from Lukaku).

Money had a lot to do with that. I'd trust Martinez to spend big money much more than I would Brands.

He took the two footballers out the team who had made his first season tick (Osman and Pienaar) and replaced them with combinations of Kone Cleverley Naismith Etoo. All our creativity went with it. When McCarthy also got injured we were then effectively neutered both with and without the ball.

Had McCarthy stayed injury free, and Martinez brought suitable creative replacements for the wide areas. Then it might have worked, but the combination of McCarthy dropping out just exposed Barry’s lack of pace so teams ran through us, and when we did have the ball the likes of Naismith Barkley Kone Cleverley weren’t good enough in the combinations to replicate 13/14.

Martinez also stopped doing what had made 13/14 a success. Lukaku was often subbed off, we flexed formations at times, we varied selection, we made impactful subs off the bench, no one was assured a spot. The next two seasons Barkley and Lukaku were playing every minute even when rancid, we didn’t waver from 4231 at all, the subs became predictable and like for like with no impact, players started to become complacent knowing they were playing every week. It was a disaster by the end.
