I'm starting to get a bad feeling about this, we are in danger of losing control of the narrative. We shouldn't be publicly approaching people without knowing that it's all done. Why on earth would Emery come here if Koeman wouldn't, given the season he's just had? But he could very easily use us to screw a new contract out of Sevilla. If he does tell us to FO then Suddenly we are flailing around and people like Pellgrini who may have taken the job originally now tell us to get lost cos he's our fifth choice

Calm your tits.

We need the publicity.
 

So here we are, a lot of blues have finally snapped and would happily see the back of the manager. So, if we, as a club, 'grew a pair' and gave him the bullet, who would be your choice to come in? Some of the options may seem strange but these are all serious choices from blues either at the match, on here or twitter.

Gotta be pellegrini or de boer need someone who's actually won a league (SOMEWHERE, ANYWHERE )
 

De Boer wins leagues, Emery wins cups.

I am happy with both.

Emery, for me gets the bigger picture because he won the Europa League three times in a row while getting 3rd to 7th in the Spanish league.

De Boer is a winner too. I won't discredit him just because it is the Dutch league.
 
Q Why are people who've won the Championship so unappealing?

It's a much harder league to get through than the Prem successfully... You've got more games, more injuries, less money and so a much greater onus resides on the manager to create and build success. So if we want 'proven' winners - why the ceiling on these guys? A tonne of guys have done brilliantly in this respect, so why the snobbery? What's not proven about Moyes stint - more money, better league position, more valuable, more settled (and promising) squad. I'm not shouting for his return, but let's learn from proven formulas.

Let's be honest the Premiership has been won by the richest side nearly every year since it's creation inc Blackburn and nearly Newcastle (so all hail Leicester!). Moshiri is not a bottomless pit of cash. Esk writes a great article here https://www.grandoldteam.com/2016/0...new-stadium-need-not-expensive-goodison-park/
on the gap between us and the top guys - let's prioritise fixing this hole first as we'll never get near these guys otherwise....

So let's build a better team through coaching not just someone turning up for Prem cash with a short-term CV. Pelligrini's hardly excelled with his ultra millions (albeit he's more dignified than than their board), but that squad is ageing.

De Boer ... OK. Emery's achievement at Sevilla is impressive (but permit be being arl ar5e - he keeps winning the Europa cos their dumped out the CL every time). But yes a great record in Europe and domestically OK in a 5 team league. Are we honestly saying we need these foreign guys and their access to overseas talent cos our British options are so inferior?

Challenge for the GOT forum:

Can we name 6 British Managers and the reasons we can't go for them (including our own ex players)? And I accept in advance that Adrian Heath's stint with Orlando may not be adequate at this point :)
