I share these concerns. It's still relatively early in the season so if the right appointment was made in the international break (Tuchel?) there is time, but not unlimited time, to sort out the mess. In an ideal world I would like a young coach with the ability to stay on for an extended period and build an identity for the team whilst appreciating the finer technical aspects of the game and playing entertaining, but winning football.
Securing PL status must be the priority though, whatever the means. So for me, Allardyce comes into consideration at the very least. I have thought about the off-field repercussions of appointing Allardyce. We would certainly be ripe for office banter and jeering but that's to be expected and from folk who would love it if we went down.
Would appointing him have an effect on the ability to attract sponsorship and would it have a negative impact on our corporate brand? It seems the club does a good enough job of limiting and belittling itself all on its own in that regard.
Allardyce certainly could not be associated with anything calling itself The School of Science. Nor could anything we have seen since 2013-2014, and relegation certainly couldn't be. But the wider football world, outside of Twitter jibes and tired stereotypes, doesn't and won't care a damn about who is Everton manager.
I still think it's unlikely giving the timing that Allardyce will get the job - a definitive decision looks like it will be taken in the next few weeks and if the season was a further 4-6 weeks down the road with no sign of an improvement, he would come more strongly into play then.
Dyche just seems small-time with a few decent seasons at Burnley. But probably more likely than Allardyce to get it if if came to that.
What all this screams is how we have come to such a pass. Talk about between caught between a rock and a hard-place. That is what Moshiri must reflect upon.
