Hopefully Moshiri and co can sell that.
I like Koeman but I'm not sure we'd get him. Ultimately we're a bigger club than Southampton whichever way you look at it. But in this day and age and with the money floating round the premier league there's not much to choose between most of the teams. It might just be that he wouldn't see it as the job for him.
They would have no liability on this market I'd guess. No one would be betting on it really as it is not yet available . Out of interest if you went in and had 100 on say Howe he would then be made favourite as they would think someone know something .
)) what is Di Matteo doing nowadays?

2 things that will go against us getting Jose are 1. He'll most likely end up at Utd as they aint pipping City for 4th, and 2. Moshiri will no doubt be taking advice from Kenwright and I don't think Bill would be a fan of Mourinho's don't give a F personality.
I would love us to get him but can't see it so don't get your hopes up. Mancini is the one for me, think he would have us certainly in the top 6 with this squad and a big transfer kitty.

I disagree. He's not pulling up any trees at Southampton, far from it. He changes his system too frequently because he can't seem to make one work and his transfer policy is suspect too. His recorded as a player clouds peoples judgement .

Don't see the love for Koeman personally.
Did a good job last year but very average this year.

Hi All, have posted in new signings, just thought this would be a good thread to get stuck in with! Lots of names swirling around in my head as to who could/would inherit the job post Martinez. Here are the candidates in my mind
Unai Emery - 2 Europa League wins, going for a 3rd, solid experience in one of the world's top league, hugely admire the intensity of his sides and insistence on effort, lack of English a problem though and could we attract him?
Laurent Blanc - might be an outside possibility if PSG decided on a 'bigger' name and Mourinho had to pursue options outside of the Premier League. (and ended up at PSG). Will have gained great experience at PSG, but was particularly impressed with his time at Bordeaux.
Ronald De Boer - hugely impressive pedigree as a player which will carry weight, would not be against such an appointment, risky in the sense it is difficult to judge his abilities based solely on the Eredivisie.
Phillip Cocu - as above, if it came to a straight choice between De Boer and Cocu for the job, I think Cocu edges it, impressed with PSV in the Champions League, Ajax from what I have seen of them in Champions/Europa League, have been bang average.
José Mourinho - feel like I have to include him on the list though it would at least appear that he is Utd bound. Would guarantee lots of media attention on EFC and such an appointment would signal a huge change in attitude/approach at EFC. Would likely be a short lived season or two appointment but if he delivered silverware it would be absolutely worth the ride. Have to think he would see EFC as a step down though.
Manuel Pellegrini - would be a potentially straightforward, quick appointment of a man well settled here. May be better suited to EFC than MCFC as done brilliantly in the underdog role at Villarreal and Malaga. Worry he may see us as a consolation prize post City or would see us as an excellent opportunity to prove / re-confirm his credentials?
Finally, a "leftfield" candidate, highly unlikely to be considered but including him as I have followed his career and find him an interesting guy;
Leonardo Jardim - performed very solidly at Braga and Sporting Lisbon in Portugal, sacked controversially at Olympiakos, succeeded Ranieri at Monaco, notable away victory at Arsenal in last season's champions league, between Monaco and Lyon for 2nd place in Ligue 1 this season. Again difficult to judge due to the runaway dominance of PSG but has been consistent at Monaco and has been let down by the owner there, with Falcao and James Rodriguez sold without the money being reinvested. Would appeal more to those who prefer solidity and organisation over flair and sexy football, but an upcoming manager worth keeping an eye on.
If I had a magic wand Diego Simeone would be at Goodison, what a manager. If the Semi Final is to be Martinez' watershed and life support is switched off, then both for his sake and the clubs I hope action is taken to remove him in the immediate week afterwards. There is no risk with an interim / caretaker appointment for the remaining games, and we need a successor at the helm as a matter of urgency to deal with / modify pre-season preparations, and handle the huge task of incoming and outgoing transfers. Not saying we make a hasty appointment by any means, but I hope that contingency work in that regard is going on even now, to get the right / best man.
