Next manager discussion (poll reset 21/05/2016)

Id have Emery over De Boer thats for sure.

 

[Mrk]

After reading up on him, I think Emery would be worth a go.

 

[LinekersLegs]

That's due to the standards set by the fans though. They demand success regardless. At least he has the balls to tell them straight that in a very competitive league, they will never dominate like they did previously and their expectations are too high.

Willing to be 70% if the ones calling for his head are glory hunting fan boys anyway.

LVG got hired on the basis that Moyes did not get them to qualify for the CL.

To then have the gall to complain that qualifying for the CL is too high an expectation for their fans to have, after two years and millions spent plus frequent claims that United could be challenging for title this season, was a bit rich tbh.

Especially given it was Leicester that won the league.

Everton are due to hold talks this week with Unai Emery with the Sevilla coach a leading contender to replace Roberto Martinez as manager at Goodison Park.

Emery led Sevilla to a third successive Europa League title on Wednesday when the Spanish club beat Everton's fierce Merseyside rivals, Liverpool, 3-1 in Switzerland.

Sevilla are also due to face Barcelona in the final of the Copa del Rey tonight and Emery's impressive achievements have won considerable admiration among the Everton hierarchy as they search for a new manager to take the club forward after a bitterly disappointing season under Martinez.

Everton are expecting to meet with Emery in the next 72 hours. It is unclear if the Spaniard is the club's first choice but they are keen to establish his interest in moving to England and any plans he has.

Ronald Koeman, the Southampton manager, and Frank De Boer, who is a free agent after leaving Ajax this month, have also been heavily linked with the job. The outgoing Manchester City manager Manuel Pellegrini is available, too.

Ronald De Boer has already spoken of his brother's desire to join Everton.

Emery has a reputation for being an intense workaholic but he is popular among his players and West Ham United were interested in appointing him before Slaven Bilic succeeded Sam Allardyce in east London.

He has spoken in the past of being interested in working in the Premier League and can converse in English.

Everton finished the season in 11th, 19 points adrift of fourth place, and were beaten in the League Cup semi-final by Manchester City and FA Cup semi-final by Manchester United.

The Merseyside club won just two of their final 11 league games under Martinez and face a battle to keep defender John Stones, midfielder Ross Barkley and striker Romelu Lukaku this summer.

I really hope this has legs. If the brief is the best available, then this guy fits the brief. The club should not have too much difficulty in seeing it, language barriers can be overcome.

Rudi Garcia, clubless.
Not a Jose "winner of everything" but he has done quite well including winning Ligue 1. A lot of Europa/Champs experience. Coming second to Juve isn't anything to criticise him for either.
Basically, better than a mid table manager like Koeman and hasn't only managed in a two-horse race (de Boer).

 

[Connor]

Emery or De Boer, can't go wrong there IMO.

 

[royalbalou]

Any manager who is so underprepared that he would need to use the Euro's to scout players in i wouldn't want near my club, was an interesting quote from Mourinho the other day along those lines, basically saying that their is absolutely no players in a major tournament that managers don't know about anymore

Also any purchase made purely on the back of a players form in a major tournament usually turns out to be a watse of money

Only advantage in having someone in before it, would be a player the manager already wanted who goes to have a good tournament thus driving any asking price up and also getting more interest from other less clued up managers/owners

Am guessing Mr Niasse is the exception to the rule

 

[Jib in lad]

Oh go on then Emery it is.

 

[MichaelEFC96]

Hope we're not appointing Emery based off a cup final win...we all know how that went with the last bloke.

Undecided with him, but if he brings Gameiro with him that'll do me.

 

[Azza]

I am excite!

He consistently got his team 3rd to 7th in the league and he won Europa League three times in a row.

Martinez is not in the same league.

....'what a prat I am, I completely messed up Liverpools best chance in years of winning the league, it was all my fault.'

 

[MartSlinger]

Only worry with Emery is his relationship with Deulofeu.
