New Everton Manager

[Exeter_Gently]

Yeah man again, results.

I don't like Wilder, but it has nothing to do with his league position. I didn't like him when finishing 9th either.

So explain why Potter warrents a mention?

If someone can actually give me a solid reason am all ears.

The people who want him, Ferguson, Howe etc, have zero ambition. We need a manager who can build AND get results, Potter isn’t that guy

They said that about Martinez.

You can read into that what you like.

 

[BlueStevie35]

We will always be what we are unless we change the process. A long term plan would be that.

We can do that but not with bang average no marks who can’t get above 15th in the league

The only reason people want Potter is they look at his XG, and cream their pants. XG does not win you points! His win percentage is 25%, what has this lad done which is so exceptional that he warrants getting the Everton job? He certainly isnt out performing Chris Hughton his predecessor.......

Some need to give their head a wobble!

We need to go for the best out there, nothings guaranteed but the chances of success are alot higher than taking one of the leagues basement boys. Da`s on here saying Moyes has a glass ceiling yet want Potter who has never had even a mid table finish. Cant understand the thought process!

You take the piss out of Da's on here and then do the very Da thing of saying stats don't mean anything...

I have always favoured ‘the big name manager to attract better players argument’ but after 18months of Ancelotti who can we say his presence ‘attracted’?
A supremely talented player who only ever plays half a season and a good midfielder, both of whom are definitely past their peak.
Top players choose clubs for two reasons only , trophies and money, who the manager happens to be is a peripheral consideration.

We've still got squad littered with garbage that need replacing with better players....Better players wanna play for better managers. Its dead simple.

I think the point is, there ain't, but when has that ever stopped Everton?

Written in the stars etc.

You said you don't like xG because it doesn't factor in that strikers miss and that's literally the entire point of it. There is no point in going on here, you've got no clue on this unfortunately.

Well what actually is the point in it then?? Why wouldn’t you just use “big chances created” as a stat?

You don’t have a clue on much soccer-related unfortunately Big Oil.

Brendan rodgers finished 11th with his one season at swansea in the premier league before liverpool saw the potential in him. Every good coach/manager has to start somewhere. Potter isnt just on this Everton forum being talked about. His style of coaching and team displays have been talked about by many in the past 18 months taking into consideration what he has to work with at brighton. No idea what this x y z crap is. Its my own eyes that watch his teams play and impressed not just by the football but his approach to games.
Its totaly acceptable to explore someone who is clearly showing signs of potential.
Some Everton fans are so blinkered and have delusions of grandeur its ugly to see.

But Potter finished 16th!

Because xG sounds more technical and is flypaper for pseuds.

Yeah this.

Oh well thats me done then. The 5 place finish you've sold it. He's sh!te.

 

[JobForTheMoyes]

People talk about us lacking ambition with managerial appointments. We currently have a lock on Real Madrid, Barcelona and Belgium!

Its a results business, and he is no better than Hughton so far.

I genuinely love to see someone who mentions XG kick a football.
