I agree but we can all make mistakes. He trusted Koeman and got his fingers burnt. He trusted others in the organisation and have possibly found them out. If he reacts positively to all of this (over the next 6 months) I will give him the benefit
He had the power to take a grip of the situation over matters like Barkley being forced to the door and to step in on over-spends.

He was an absent landlord though and he let a fool be parted with his money.
 
If we get a fire-fighter manager in like Allardyce or Hiddink the credibility of this club that's been built up over the past 15 years will be swept away.

It will place us on the same level of the Palace's, Sunderland's, West Ham's of this world.

An utter humiliation made worse by the belief that we were actually going to be moving to a better level than 'credible' under a new leadership.
Total agreement here.
Go out and get the very best we can get/afford.
Otherwise we are just another also ran.
 

What I don't get here is why we are looking at a 'firefighting' manager?

Yes we have started the season appallingly and yes, we are in a relegation battle and could go down (anyone saying otherwise are kidding themselves). But, we could also very easily be out of it very quickly. We have had a difficult start and haven't even played 10 games. We may need to appoint someone like that if it was Ferbruary or March and we were in the drop-zone, even I would admit that. But we are not and we still have a vitally important January transfer window to go. So we should be making an appointment with an eye on the future. Yes, things Don't always go to plan, but we have to think that way.

I would be devastated if we got in dross like fat Sam, or worse still, brought Moyes back. As in genuinely embarrassed, and Everton have managed to cause me more than enough of that down the years. Dyche and someone like Eddie Howe would be uninspiring and show that we have not moved on from when we appointed Moyes in 2002.

I suspect an appointment like Ancelloti would be a disaster, because he is not the kind who is going to organise what we have until January.

Therefore, we need to select a manager who drills the team hard, who will maximise what we do have, which at the moment includes giving youth a chance (Fat Sam won't do that; always easier to berate a kid for an error than a senior pro), who is tactically innovative and had a track record of getting poorer teams to achieve reasonably well, whilst also being enough of a name to attract top talent. IT HAS to be Tuchel of what is available.

Failing that, we should have a punt for someone like this Nuno, Silva or Fonseca. And for those of you saying no chance, too big a risk because of where they have come from, then perhaps we should look at what happened with Pochettino at Spurs. No one had heard of him when he came to England. He got Saints out of a mess. Improved them without really achieving much and has now gone to Spurs and has turned them into one of the best English sides I have seen in a long while, for minimal spend and favouring young players. The three names above all have some of his qualities.

Failing those four, it should be the risk or Unsworth. But not the firefighters. We are not far enough down the path of oblivion yet to pull that rip-cord, and if we do, we will have sacrificed Premier League safety for another decade of mediocrity.

Just hope Bill and Farhad see it that way, but I suspect they won't!
 
The answer to the question you set there is that we need a calm judicious decision to bring in a long term appointment. I dont think we'll get it though. Moshiri is coming across like a scalded cat.

The current malaise across the whole of GOT, is frightenning.

The Euro thread is dead. We have a big European game in 5 hours time and the thread is totally quiet.

We have people on this thread talking about the Wolves manager ffs.

We have been linked with Warnock, Allerdyce et al.

Talk of Moyes being interviewed.

What the bleep is going on with our club?
 
I agree. But I believe we have an owner who's taken fright at the prospect of not arresting this decline and imperilling his investment.

It underlines just what a royal mess of this club Moshiri has made when I find myself hoping that Sean Dyche arrives.

Well it's why Big Sam probably wants reassuring he gets a long term deal and we've said no

It's a complete collapse in confidence. The supporters know what they're watching: football that takes you into the Championship and players that look like they could have been bought for 30 quid rather than 30 million.

It requires decisive leadership now.

It has been said many times on here that he wasn’t spending his own money. We can’t have it both ways.

Figure of speech. We were parted from massive amounts of cash this summer and that was allowed to happen with apparently no one questioning the wisdom of it.
 
No doubt Allarrdyce has seen what a soft touch Moshiri is over managerial appointments and contracts so he's pushed for it.

Or he's fed up of just being labelled an 'escape artist' and wants a long-term job with a 'big' club as he feels he's never had that opportunity ??
Who really knows ?
Everton should always be striving to appoint the best possible manager and sign the best possible players while nurturing our own development system... it's up to the powers that be to get it sorted so we never again have to even remotely consider employing an 'escape artist'.

Allardyce has fostered that image of himself. It'd be a bit rich to be fed up with it. He's done very nicely out of it.

Overall though we are defo not in the 'must get a fire-fighter' zone yet. If we get one in now it'll tell you exactly what sort of character Moshiri is.
