New Everton Manager

[Drico]

Out of interest, who would you give it to?

The person with the best CV who wanted the job. Sorry, that's not meant to be glib. I'd start by contacting Diego Simeone's representatives to see if 11m a year, a chance to work in England, and build a club from the bottom up would remotely interest him. I would then work my way down the list, prioritising those with tangible achievements. A club that can offer 11m a year will have lots of interested applications. We should be looking to appoint somebody with proven credentials, i.e., people who have won one of Europe's top five leagues or taken a side to the last four, at least, in the Champions League or Europa League, if only to eliminate the chaff and shorten the recruitment process. Serious operations do not take a punt - unless they can afford for that punt to fail and start again.

So, by my criteria, I wouldn't entertain somebody who hasn't won things or gone far in European competition. So, a Nuno would be at the bottom of my possible appointments (by dint of his European experience only), but would almost certainly not get interviewed. Appointing him would show us to have the ambition of Crystal Palace. I think we need to show faith in our bargaining position. Nobody gave us a prayer of getting Carlo last time. Erik ten Hag is somebody we should be interested in. Christoph Galtier is the current French champion. Unai Emery has won yet another Europa League. These men have credentials. I would sound out the representatives of managers of interest at the European Championship. That could lead to potential candidatures from people like Roberto Mancini, Luis Enrique, and Joachim Löw. I would also be leaving emotion out of any appointment decisions. Therefore, if we continue down my list without luck, one would then consider people like Rafael Benitez.

The Everton job is too big to be given to a novice or somebody who has never won anything. That eliminates the likes of Howe, Potter, and Moyes - managerial detritus in world terms. I am not saying they are not capable or even admirable managers. I am saying that, in my opinion, they do not have the credentials to be appointed to one of the 20 richest clubs in the world. Others will disagree, but I don't see a young Brian Clough just waiting for his chance in any of the familiar local names being proposed.

Hahahahahahahaha what is that thing.

Thumb in a tracksuit.

Ask @MikelsGoat

He's been strangely underwhelming on this one. But once you've scaled that Iwobi height...

The other day there was 80 posts in three hours or something

Call me skeptical, or maybe it's a little cynicism left over from last week, but it seems to me that top quality proven managers are not dedicated to a team that is regularly out of Europe. I think we have to build a team, not a club

You're absolutely correct. Nothing will develop if the first one isnt right. We've gone for the quick fix and its been a complete waste of time.
We need a good coach to build a team in his mould.
You know in all seriousness i think graham potter is a bit to intelligent for Everton tbh.

You usually won't know who the next big thing is until he's already a big thing tbf.

I would be happy with Dyche

He wouldn't be my first choice or even in my top 5 but he would certainly get the job over the likes of Potter, Dunc and Howe if it was my choice.

Apart from the Benitez shout this is an excellent post.

True to a point. But can we afford to be the testing laboratory when "the next big thing" is just as likely as the last big thing to use us as a stepping stone when the time comes?

If I was picking a goalkeeper to win a penalty shoot out, I'd prefer to hire the guy who has saved some penalties rather than the guy who has yet to stop one.

There is no guarantee with ANY managerial appointment. But unless we've got clairvoyant intelligence guys at our club, we're more likely to get it more right by hiring proven people rather than novices.

Hahahahahahahaha what is that thing.

See if you can spot him on @Jimishorts finest work to date lol

Carlo ancelotti coming to Everton is a completely different kettle of fish than the likes simone coming to Everton. We all know why we got ancelotti. Lets stop kidding ourselves.

Nobody tops Tuchel in the 'paedophile appearance' ranks

Just spat my drink everywhere

10000% Yes

Dunno 'bout that bit haha I reckon he'd be Goldilocks myself! He's done well at every club relative to resources and context. Everton would be a step up for him and a chance to really build a quality playing style and identity for us. I reckon fans would get behind him. Galtier might do the same but I haven't watched his teams at all, just hear good things and he's done well in France. Whoever we get needs time, patience and backing anyway COYB

Spurs in for the manager who was sacked by Roma and replaced by Jose. You cant write this stuff
