Next Everton Manager

[Julius Geezer]

Welcome Guus , we salute you !

19 days gone since he was sacked, nothing to say we have even interviewed a shortlist of managers so I'd love Everton to pull their finger out their arse and give us an update on why nearly 3 weeks have passed since his sacking and we seem no nearer to making an appointment.

Indeed. They don't need to write War and Peace but they could provide an update of sorts. Silence again. They could also have acted to put out a statement regarding the Panorama programme but again nothing.

I would say the media and communications strategy at Everton is shockingly bad, but that would be giving it too much credit. There is no strategy.

We are shockingly bad at communicating anything with the fans.
I'm clinging onto the hope that the reason we haven't just offered to the likes of Fat Sam or Unsie is because we are trying to get someone better.

This Everton boards Modus Operandi has always been to sit on their hands and do nothing leaving the manager to always front up. They hid behind Moyes for a decade and would have done the same with Martinez had Moshiri not come in and fired him. Sadly he seems to be as bad at communicating as everyone else.

You would have thought they would have had plans in place at all times for events like the manager leaving. Leicester acted quickly, Palace did, West Ham did, whether you agree with their choice of manager or not they had their criteria identified the right person and sorted it. Liverpool did one better with Klopp almost having him in beforeRosgers was fired.

We are the only club I know who have this ridiculous charade every time we change manager of ‘who’s going to get it’. We seem to start off from a place of total shock that the manager has gone and then literally throw the trawl net out as wide as between Simeone and Allardyce. Top managers don’t interview against Sam Allardyce for the job, you go begging to them, ideally you should have courted them for months like Utd did with Mourinho. If Moshiri was serious about Simeone he’d have been courting him from the start of the season, you don’t rock up without a manager and ask one of the best in the world if he’ll Meet for a chat once you’ve spoken to big Sam.

Once again Everton just can’t seem to do the basics that come so easily to most other clubs. We can’t sell our shirts outside of 2 shops, we can’t take a throw in, and seemingly we can’t conduct s proper managerial appointment without it turning into a reality tv show. We’ll have Jim White coming out soon saying that Simeone deal was done but Moshiri decided Unsworth was part of the Everton family.

Let's be honest we should be able to bone Palace without a manager or a keeper in fairness.

Could hardly disagree more, Palace look as though they're now getting some backbone, i think Palace have the players and will end up well clear of trouble, Hodgson has had some decent performances even in a really tough fixture list since taking over.

With Zaha rediscovering some real form and now a target man in Benteke ready to play his part, as tbf he normally does against us, I see Palace as a team on the verge of a decent run and definitely favourites.

 

[Toffe3m4n]

If the possibility of Simeone/Ancelotti/Tuchel was a very real prospect in the summer then I'd be happy to keep Unsworth in place until then. For me we shouldn't be dropping a short term appointment for another short term appointment, it'd just be too counter-productive.

Spot on and it leaves them wide open for critisicm from us. It' absolutely ridiculous, piss poor communication, lack of plan, lack of action, lack of urgency and lack of desire to act like a big club anymore.

Gang of absolute no marks the lot of them

Problem I have with the "Everton took Unsworth because all the boss managers wanted to wait until the summer" means that the top managers are just waiting for the big jobs that will be available in the summer.

So what do you in this situation, well we start by saying we won't be waiting for no one, here's the offer on the table, make it an offer they can't refuse and start acting like we want to compete with the top clubs.

I'm pretty confident that if Arsenal, Utd, Chelsea etc job came up, none of these managers would be saying "erm can I decide in the summer".

This gang of clueless bells who unfortunately run our club wouldn't know how to spell the word big let alone act like it. I don't want us to "try" and get a top manager, I want us to bloody well go and get one, slap as much cash on the table, offer him as much as he wants in January and offer them a 4/5 year deal and tell them to make us great again

 

[Sir Alan]

There’s being careful and taking their time but how many weeks has it since Koeman got his marching orders?

 

[Barnfred 55]

I like that we are not rushing into an appointment - Allardyce has been whoring himself for the job (despite retiring a few months ago), and if we had been in desperation mode he would probably already be here

Generally speaking, performances have improved slightly under Unsworth, even if the results hadn't done necessarily - given the paucity of realistic, palatable alternatives out there at the moment I think I'm happy for Unsworth to continue in the role until the summer (when presumably more candidates would be available) with the huge caveat that if we end up in the bottom three at some point, we go cap-in-hand to Allardyce, begging him to do the job until June

I was just about to like that until I read the last line.

 

[Chris O'Connor]

Any appointment of Unsworth is sentiment ruling above reason for me.

If the last 4 games were his audition I struggle to see how he's passed it; unfortunate to lose against Chelsea, dogshit at Leicester, terrible in Lyon and very lucky to beat Watford.

Played 4, lost 3, scored 4, conceded 9. Is that our new manager honeymoon period? Worrying.

It just says to me that we're letting a fluked win against Watford paper over a chasm rather than just a crack.

To me it stinks of jobs for the boys and I find that sickening

This lot are basically saying that there isn’t one manager available or potentially available in the whole of the world apart from our shortlist of Dyche Allardyce Unsworth oh and throw in Diego Simeone lads as well. Cringeworthy. How come Southampton can go Pochettino, Koeman, Puel, Pellegrino. No one had heard of three of them. Even that idiot at Hull can go out and from nowhere find Marco Silva. Yet when Everton need a manager it’s let’s just have that dead obvious bloke who just relegated Wigan, then it was let’s just pay whatever it takes to get that guy who finished 7th. Why do we never come up with someone different, a managerial prodigy or a talent maybe not known to the prem. instead the decision makers basically draw up the same shortlist as half the people on here.

Just appoint a manager you shower

Ha, there needs to be an emergency contingency plan

He's last resort

 

[trueblue10]

Surely they will be sounding agents out to see who is interested before announcing an interest

They've had nearly 5 weeks to "sound out" agents, meanwhile, our team stumbles along with no manager and no stability.

Its a week into the international break and the sweet sound of silence from our club continues.

DU was given 1 day with the squad to prep them for the Chelsea game, at this rate our new gaffer will be given the same amount of time.

FFS Everton , sort this mess out.
