New Everton Manager

[SJBlue]

Hope we have our new manager in place by early next wee. Still think we should try again for Erik ten Hag. I find the other names mentioned either unappealing or unrealistic.

Moyes got our job when we were broken paupers who couldn't afford to pay or back a manager of proven worth. We took a punt on a bright young thing - and got lucky.

Everton now have the money to attract a better standard of candidate. If we go for, say, Nuno, we are demonstrably evincing all the ambition of Crystal Palace.

I agree on Nuno. But on your other point, we are of distinctly modest means relative to the elite. The notion that someone like Conte would give us the time of day has been dismissed out of hand. Some look at us as a basket case.

It sort of points to a best of the rest manager for now, whoever that is.

what does that mean ?

It’s a results business and if you can get them playing good football great but who wants to play pretty football and get pumped every week ?

I dare say the Arsenal fans didn’t complain when they won the title under George Graham. We can play 10 at the back for all I care if we win every week.

Yeah it's mad how we can't see the difference between the manager who in 5 years conceded a best of *checks notes* 61 goals and the one who conceded 46 last year while still playing something resembling the sport that the best teams in the league play. Weird.

I didn't even have to use xG.

Actually you’re right, Howe finished 9th in his second season in the Premier League. So they’re not really similar after all.

Potter lol lol

We'll laugh about this when we look back.

 

[Mashtray]

Hang on, Potter's league finishes are:

Osterund : 8th, 5th in a tinpot league
Swansea: 10th in the Championship
Brighton: 15th, 16th


And people genuinely think there is an argument for appointing him. Holy wow.

The argument is for his underlying stats and whether you can replicate those stats with better players.

Not for what he has achieved which is a big fat zero.

But his stats are so alarming that we all need to at the very least pay attention to potential.

Risky for sure.

Once the Euros starts on Friday hopefully everyone will be too busy to bother with this thread till someone is announced.

Conte is not realistic but there must be some good managers out there up for the job.

His Brighton team didn’t get pumped every week though

I think they conceded fewer goals than us

Their issue was up front, which you’d hope wouldn’t be as much an issue here

We're discussing the possibility of good football coming to Everton here. You want sean dyche. You may want to go do the hoovering or something.

Dyche would have Goodison bouncing - players fighting for every ball, a grocky ginger bloke kicking off on the touchline, direct football from Pickford to DCL with pacey wide players whipping crosses in left right and centre.

Potter Ball would have the fans asleep after Slomes and Siggurdsson pass it back to Keane 500 hundred times a game.

 

[Debunkology]

Can you genuinely not see the gaping flaw in this argument? It's Swedish domestic football, all their leagues are of a miserable weak standard. We aren't after a promotion specialist.

No, we're after somebody who is known to get the best out of his players. Improve players.

Swansea were in dire straits when he took over and lost loads of players, they offered him an improved contract when Brighton come in. Strange you look at league tables without knowing the circumstances.

He's a bright young manager. He's not my first choice, but he's getting stick here that is not warranted. And really short sighted.

We are not part of the elite, but we sneak into the top 20 richest clubs in the world list. If we actually had people at the club who genuinely understood the world game, we would have little bother attracting a suitable coach. I still believe we will, because money tends to talk in the end. It's a big world out there. In that world, there is no way that Graham Potter is anything other than a lazy choice borne out of a lack of detailed knowledge of the coaching market across the globe.

I could never quite tell if you were deliberately trolling or not, but now I know you are for sure. You wee scamp.

Still genuinely chuckling here that someone has used promotion from the Swedish second division as a tick in the box for the Everton job. No wonder Silva was an easy sell.
