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

[BirkenheadBlue]

So basically, reading between all the lines.

It's Roberto Mancini.

Would Mancini be "almost universally popular"?

 

[BirkenheadBlue]

Oh, and there's not a chance in hell of it being Simeone - we're not CLOSE to that lucky!!

 

[MichaelEFC96]

Our fossorial friend is correct in that it now seems Koeman has only eyes on a bigger prize than us beyond next season.

However as I mentioned on Tuesday evening matters elsewhere have been developing and this emerging candidate would be almost universally popular. He is also consistent with the "if the preferred candidate was out of contract we would have announced it by now" theory discussed yesterday.

Beginning to think it could be Mancini...

Got a chance surely. I would be made up with that

 

[tonyhorne]

"Still in a job"
"Almost universally popular"

Sounds like it's me!

Who should I get rid of first?

 

[Neiziro]

The only universally popular candidates I can think of are Emery and Simeone. Be delighted with either.

 

[MartSlinger]

Mancini would be an awful appointment, dont understand why fans want him so much, hes a proper bell as well.

Going by The Esk's comments, universally popular would suggest Unai Emery.


THE DREAM IS ALIVE BOYS.

WELCOME UNAI.

 

[Thomasc]

We hadn't spoken to De Boer at the start of the week so could be the "emerging" candidate.

 

[MichaelEFC96]

Wait...I'm sure Esk ruled out Mancini yesterday...the mystery continues

So, it's one of the 4 mentioned that is in a job and is not Koeman. Only leaves... Unai Emery.

Seriously though, if Koeman has knocked us back then we've dodged a bullet. Be arsed with anyone that would rather manage Southampton than Everton.

Erm........

If Moshiri thinks it's Koeman, then I'll back that call and see what happens.

I've got absolutely no doubt he would improve us.

Voted Koeman now but would be more than happy with FDB.

Certain it will be one of those two.

Don't really think it's a case of him knocking us back for Southampton, but more a case of it being easier to jump ship in one or two seasons time. Sign a new contract a Soton now and agree they won't kick up a fuss if Arsenal/Barca come calling. I'm convinced the latter being his ultimate ambition. Don't think Moshiri would agree easily to such a deal.

 

[Mikey_Fitzgerald]

Bringing back David Moyes would be the most "Everton That" moment of all time

Leave the memories alone
