Next Everton Manager

[Khalekan]

This is what makes me think it can't possibly be Allardyce. He was unemployed when we sacked Koeman so he could have come straight in, why wait this long to appoint someone who was already available.

I would say initially the hope was that Unsie would have had a better start, meaning no immediate action need be taken.

The Chelsea and Lyon games were probably not even factored in, it was the two league games before this latest break which were the vital games he would be judged on.

But panic set in after the timid display at Leicester left us in the drop zone hence the Allardyce and Dyche rumours gained traction.

I have no doubt that had Sunday’s comeback not occurred Big Sam and the Merry Men would already be here.

Thankfully things worked out in the end

And the situation does not look as desperate right now.

I do not believe we will go down......whether Sam comes in or not.

In fact, I think there is a greater chance of us going down ifhe comes in because our players are not suited to his tactics and IMO we would be in the thick of the relegation fight by New Year.

As things stand now I am thinking we can take seven or eight points from the next four games and that will comfortably take us into the top half before going the Pit.

To sum up, we are not in a bad enough position at the time of going to press to push the Allardyce button.

And the continued lack of white smoke increases my hope that commonsense is prevailing in the boardroom

So the rumors seem to be.

1. We now don't want Dyche
2. We only want Big Sam till the end of the season. He wants a permanent gig.
3. We want Silva but he doesn't want to move so soon. Probably waiting for a better gig in the summer.

So it looks like it might be Unsworth at least until the summer.

That works for me

 

[Khalekan]

Could be the difference in length of contract and what fat Sam wants as a bonus to keep us up, well he does like his extra's

Plus we have to pay Palace two million quid if we give him the job.

Then we will be in the championship. I've seen nothing over the 4 games he's had to suggest he can sort this mess out.
We got lucky Sunday and that's not going to happen each game.

Silvas odds going down soon boys

What somebody is going to get the sack?

Jingle bells

Is he our next manager Neil ?

 

[LiamG]

That's what I heard too.

Unsworth gets the job, we really might go down.

Nah they will press the big sam panic button before then.

But I think Unsworth will do a decent job.

 

[DavenhamBlue]

Somebody with a red nose..... Mike Bassett

 

[Pejic300]

Tuchel

Cloth?

 

[DaviesIsTheFuture]

How long is this taking?! Appoint someone! (Not Unsworth, Fat Sam or Dyche).

Not just in response to you GwladysBlue, but in general on here it seems most want a quick appointment. Why? I don't get it, at all.

It's not like we are in a rush..... I hope they take as much time as they want, but they MUST get this one right. Too many things went wrong for them not to.

 

[Yarrgh]

Make the tuna butty our next manager, 2.5 year contract

Not happening. Demands more mayonnaise than the last guy.

Plus the next 4 games will actually give us a chance to evaluate Unsworth. So far I have liked what I have seen although I do wish he would play Vlasic even if it is a 8 or 10 because I do think we need Lennon and Lookman on the wings due to their pace and Lennon's defensive abilities. Drop Davies for a few games and play Vlasic. You know it makes sense Rhino.

We could go with

Niasse
Lookman Klassen Vlasic Lennon
Gueye/Schneiderlin
Baines Keane Williams Kenny
Pickford

I put Klassen in there because with that team we may better see his qualities.

Funny that, if you came to me exactly one year ago and told me that Sam Allardyce becoming Everton manager will depend on Tom Cleverly's penalty in extra time at Goodison vs Watford... I would have told you to seek medical help.
