I voted for Conte in the poll, but the more I think about it, I actually think it could be a really bad appointment.

We'd be back in this same position in 12 or 18 months.
But we could be with any appointment apart from maybe a younger manager. That maybe the club and fans give more time too.

I don’t think Nuno or moyes would last much longer.
 
He still wouldn’t be a terrible appointment

Depends. Conte the manager no course it wouldnt. He's at the top of his game.
But he's just walked out of inter because of financial restraints.
Doesnt seem to stick around long. The state of this Everton squad needs exactly that.
 

18th smallest net spend in the league, 15th smallest wage bill yet has 2x top half finishes in 5 seasons in the Premier League including one 7th place finish and 2x finishes above Everton.

Not bad at all compared to frauds like Potter and Howe who play "fancy togger".
How can you call Potter a fraud based off his one season in the Prem where he actually finished above Dyche?
 

We've tried alot of foreign managers, gone tits up why not, need someone to kick the arses of this squad maybe he can I'm starting to sway into your corner, give him a go he is a no nonsense manager by God defo need someone like that imo
Are people losing their minds? All this talk of Dyche or Moyes coming back?? Do me a favour.

Why not have Fat Sam or Mark Hughes or Bobby Gould?

Yes, we need to realise how bad we are and approach things with a degree of realism. But that appointment should be either (a) a young, dynamic manager who can build us in the right direction but, crucially, wants to play good football, so there is a chance we may improve further or (b) someone who has a track record of rebuilding a team from a low position to a higher position in the Rangnick mould (not a clogger like Dyche who gets the lads together for bantz and beers and that's how he creates a culture), or (c) someone whose playing style suits the way Brands wants to build the club as, rightly or wrongly, that is what we have employed him to do.

Personally I think a disciple of gegenpressing would be the best option as it would mean that we would be required to sign pacey, dynamic, fit players. We would play at a tempo that would get the crowd behind the team. And also, there would be no messing around testing out members of our terrible squad for another couple of seasons as it would be obvious straight away that they would be incapable of playing that system, meaning we would definitely get shot of most of our dross over the next couple of seasons.

Don't think our fans would respond well to possession-based football. We don't want clogball merchants who would make us even more of a small-time laughing stock than we already are. So I think gegenpressing would tick a few boxes and get the crowd fired up, enjoying themselves and getting behind the team.
 
If there wasn't a connatation of going backwards by getting Moyes, we'd probably have him all day long. 2 points off top four with a club with a similar stature to ours last season...
 
The average tenure of football managers these days is 18 months. Sometimes you'd wonder if most people here are still back in the Moyes days when Davey held the post for 11 years simply because Bill couldn't afford a better manager - nor a worse one.

If the director of football is truly influential, you can sack the manager twice a year and still maintain stability.

It is extremely unlikely that the next Everton manager will be at the club in five years time. If he is, it's probably because he's a plodder who has no better options and is doing just enough to hold on to his post because we can't afford to fund a better manager. If we could lure a top manager now, it doesn't matter if he'll be gone in 18 months. The statistical likelihood is that he will be gone one way or the other: of his own volition, like Carlo, or sacked like Koeman, Allardyce and Silva. What we need is to get somebody who leaves us in a demonstrably better position after departure. Carlo didn't really succeed there - he moved us from 12th to 10th - so there is a sense that we have stood still.

One thing's for sure. This current squad needs serious surgery. Any new manager needs to ruthlessly purge the inadequates - of whom there are many. Anyone looking to "assess" the playing staff should have his CV binned. That's Brands's job.

As Everton give us no excitement on the pitch, I, for one, am looking forward to hounding the next man out of his job before the turn of 2023. Summer transfer windows and managerial searches have been my main highlights of the last 5 years. Why would any sane Evertonian deny himself the pleasure of dismissing Eddie Howe, David Moyes, and sundry managerial detritus every 18 months? We've nothing else to become exercised over.

PS I'm expecting a surprisingly ambitious appointment.
 
We need someone who won't take bullshit off some of the diva's in the squad, back to basics imo maybe dyche has to be the answer, sick of the bullshit we've had for a good few years .sick of it
Again waiting for abuse, but if it was possible Gerrard.
