Next Everton Manager

[matty1878]

From what I've read, Big Sam would bin all the staff on the senior team.

And bring in his team of chefs.

Who are we right now????

What is most likely I would say is what happens in the vast majority of Premier League seasons. The quality rises up the table, or at least moves up enough to be safe, and there are generally at least 3 very bad teams that will guarantee the safety of any bigger club having a bit of a crap season.

That's generally what happens. A one-off might occur and we drop, but I really prefer we don't plan for that when really we are just a few points and a couple of solid performances off having the majority of the fanbase settling down and laying off the panic mode.

We need to move for somebody with a proper long term plan in mind.

wahey! finally, a bit of sense talked in between the utter nonsense of most people. Honestly don't understand why everyone is literally crapping themselves about relegation. Even if we carry on this bad form until the jan transfer window, we'll just nip in, buy a striker and by may we'd be easily safe. The season is still new, we're not in a relegation battle, utterly daft to be that concerned, just look at the vast difference in quality and depth in our squad compared to the rest in the bottom half. Anyone who genuinely thinks our current form would continue for another 28 matches is deluded in the extreme.

We've got to stop wanting to have 'ex-blues' at the club, spouting we're different blah blah blah. Once of the reasons we're in this mess is the fact that we are an over sentimental club (aided and abetted by Mr Kenwright) and we always have to have some 'ex blues' in and around the club.
Get rid of them all and get some winners in.................none of the ex-blues at the club know what it's like to win, they're perennial losers like us and the whole club.

Ever thought that with the lack of a billionaire owner until recently it’s been precisely the ex blues unique spirit that has stopped the club going down like every other side outside the moneyed 6 have done?

 

[Gareth Hill]

Still non the wiser

 

[Borussin]

Wasn't he out of a job, when anceloti was sacked?
And if yes, Why wasn't he appointed then?

becuase they want to take time to asses the possibilities. They had no choice but to sack Ancelotti because too many senior players had turned against him. They went with the safe choice of Heynckes while they take time to pick their next trainer.

Tell me more about the ex-blues unique spirit?......are you another that thinks we're different?. We are just another club like everyone else. Explain what the unique blues spirit is, it hasn't won us jack diddly squat in a long time.

Dyche drifting considerably now, 7/4 at some places. Allardyce holding steady at Evens, NES the dark horse at 8s. Unsworth clearly a dead man walking judging by his price.

 

[Charles Hawtrey]

Interesting thing in the Guardian about Allardyce taking part in Keys and Gray's populist Brexit positions. I know the results matter but do we have to hire a [Poor language removed] for a manager.

Quality and depth? In what positions?

GK: Admittedly one of the best ones

Defence: With Coleman and Funes Mori injured we only have Keane as a prem standard defender. Williams Jags and Baines have proven they are now off the pace. Martina isn’t good enough, the young lads have not shown anything to displace the old pros despite numerous chances.

Midfield: lots of numbers yes but very little creativity. Gueye is good but doesn’t seem to have a definite position. What can you say about the rest? Davies is getting in every team but is he really as good as we think he is? Until Barkley comes back only Gueye stands out as above average on current form.

Attack: The Leicester game threw this into sharp perspective. Vardy Mahrez and Gray with Iheanacho Slimani Okazaki on the bench. They’re a mid table side and every one of those walks into our 11. Bournemouth have Defoe Wilson King Afobe, every one of them walk into our 11, they’re bottom three. Palace have Benteke, walks into our 11, Gabbiadini, Long, Austen, walk into our 11, Richarlison Deeney Ighalo, walk into our 11, Carrol Sakho Arnautovic. These are not top sides, these are lower mid table sides who we would expect to be ahead of yet they have strikers on their bench who would be our starting forward!

Until Coleman Barkley Funes Mori and Bolasie return we have a squad that could very easily go down. We have only one fit player in defence that is of the required standard, and we have possibly the worst strike force in the league (DCL and Niasse FFS). Unless the new manager comes in and gets a load of midfield goals from Klaasen Siggurdson Mirallas and can somehow take 5 years off Jags we absolutely are in the brown stuff until January.

...just looked at this myself. Allardyce was available at 100/30 last night and is now best priced 5/4 favourite.

His point is though, that given our lack of resources there may be other reasons that explain our ever lasting record in the Premier League. The history and tradition of the club, as well as personnel going over and above out of a loyalty to the club may be a factor in that? Alternatively maybe you have another explanation? Maybe it was pot luck? Or continued astute judgement? It's fine criticising his interpretation but what would you put it down too?

We are also unique in that few have that bind of history as we do. I always remember Big Joe saying we are one of the few clubs that regularly had 4 former managers paying to watch the team (Kendall, Lee, Harvey + Royle) and this was not something he'd come across at other clubs.

I think these things are factors. I also think it's a positive that is hard to replace with money and especially so with the money made available by Moshiri alone. For me it would be disastrous in the medium term to jeapardise for an utter chancer in Big Sam.

The unique blues spirit (one of us, born not manufactured rubbish) is one of the reasons some people really believe Unsworth can be our manager.
