New Everton Manager

[TheBigIguana]

The next manager is going to have to go in similar in style to Moyes all those years ago with his very first team talk.

You're all a bit excrement so what you lack in quality you will have to make up for with hard work.
If you are not willing to work hard then leave.

There will be hardly anyone left guys.

The teams not that bad and it would be far better for the manager to try and figure out which players he can make some use of that the previous manager didn't.

If Marcel Brands is a true DOF then surely he would be able to dictate certain aspects.

Imagine him interviewing Martinez and saying, "Look, we are interested, we like a lot of your ideas, but we have reservations. We would need to work together and while you would obviously be coach and have your ideas implemented, we also think it would be sensible to appoint designated fitness and defensive coaches, to ensure the best possible outcomes."

Maerinez says, "Absolutely not."

That is the end of the interview.

For what it's worth, Martinez predated Walsh and Brands, but Brands might admire his work and his ideas. Maybe the opportunity to try again with a slightly different approach might be a good thing, and maybe we are in a better place now to try it.

The idea of James playing in a Martinez side could be very interesting. I would say he is at the very least a slight upgrade on Barkley.

I’m sure I heard at the time Moshiri didn’t like/want Martinez when he took over and that why they got rid. Yes it was toxic but they could of held off and given him the summer

 

[MrGrumpy]

I know I’ve posted favourably about Potter, but I have to agree that Christophe Galtier would be the dream appointment. He has performed miracles at every club he’s ever managed at, in particular Lille.

To take Lille from 18th place to FIRST place (ahead of the superstars of PSG, no less!) in the space of a few years is one of the great sporting achievements of the last decade.

Would he come here, though?

We would pay more, spend more, just weather he want to leave France

An invest in the right areas, RB/RW/Cm all with pace

….the bookies are like us, they clearly don’t have a clue.

Not a big ask.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Not a big ask.

It’s not and lillle have 3 young players who all fit that mould, so if it is CG he would hopefully get them

Most depressing manager search of all of them this is.

Always going to be when its after Carlo Ancelotti and you realise we are Everton.

Spotted: Ancelotti

Morning all, Work took me to Goodison around 10am. I was up and around the boardroom and saw Ancelotti there with a gang of people around him. Media seem to be setting up and there's a fair bit of security there. Not a p*sstake/WUM post, genuinely saw him. Happy to be vaulted otherwise!

Remember when @StuBarlow posted this and we all thought he was a wum.
Ancelotti was about 50/1 then to be are next manager.
The bookies havent got a clue.
Lets hope we pull another blinder

Jesus he got thr piss ripped out of him and hardly any recognition when it turned out he was right.

Bad form.

I'll be honest, I would absolutely love it if we appointed Martinez. First of all, the fume levels would be so peak, that it may actually break enough peoples spirits that it acts like a giant reset. Like a good thunder storm followed by a massive down pour when it just gets too hot and muggy.

It would be a huge gamble from the board, that they decide to back a man who was hated so much, unfairly in my opinion, but it would also be them admitting they were wrong and perhaps a little bit hasty, which is a gutsy move.

I always believed Roberto had our best interests at heart, but he was stubborn and didn't learn his lessons. A lot of what he talked about and what he wanted to do was in my opinion the correct approach, but we just didn't have the capacity, neither in the squad nor the funding to do what needed to be done.

His ideas about creating and implementing a strategy of developing youth teams and a genuine sustainable chain from the youngest sides to the 1st team was admirable, but was scrapped almost as soon as it had begun by appointing Koeman. I believe it was Martinez who brought the youngsters together with the 1st team squad at Finch farm, and his ideas for the expansions at finch farm and other technical details I'd read about at the time would only have been good for the club. He embraced the history and reached out to former players and managers to try and create something bigger, but at the time, his ideas where perhaps a bit too ambitious and he ultimately paid the price.

If, and its a big if, he has learned from his mistakes, as all good coaches should, and he had the foresight to appoint a capable defensive coach to work on drills that he perhaps neglected 1st time round, and if he can work harmoniously with Brands in building a squad and developing the culture that runs though the age groups as was his initial plan, then I would have no qualms about it.

He always struck me as an affable, likeable man who's biggest flaw appeared to be a relentless positivity that got under the skin of a largely negative and cynical fan base that has seen too many heartbreaks and let downs and didn't believe he was genuine. I believe he was. I believe he genuinely believed what he said, but just had a positive outlook and tried to see the best in every situation, something that is increasingly difficult to do in this day and age.

There is no denying that at its best, the times under Martinez were far and away the most enjoyable times we've had at Everton for some time. At its worst, it was excruciating, there's no denying it. But I always thought what we needed were tweaks rather than a full 180 that Koeman arrogantly and lazily tried to implement, and we've felt the consequences ever since.

With the correct backing, and the right players, and like I say, a little wisdom gained through experience, and a bit of patience at our end, I genuinely believe we could achieve something long lasting here.

Unfortunately, unless the aforementioned storm happened, I don't think we have the collective patience to let it.

The slug is knocking about Liverpool

The " Slug" as you call him, looks to me as though he is in reasonably good nick for his age. May be it's
your eyesight, in fact I'd have said Ancellotti & Koeman were more "Sluglike". Anyway, if you read this Sam
Good Luck in getting our job, even if our website overlooked you.

Jesus!
1 good season and 2 seasons of absolute eye piss when he dismantled Moyes defence.
You must have been pretty high on something for 2 seasons to not notice.

Blundellsands or Cote d"azor?

 

[roy vernon]

I'm hearing Charlie Cairoli
3/1

He wouldn’t be the first clown we’ve employed.

 

[Kantareller]

How would Terim do in a season on FM, who would he sign?

is this the ex turkey coach who has been around for about 80 years managing them and gala?

Yep Matty
