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

[matty1878]

Thanks! This all feels so odd. By all accounts, Emery was ready and willing to move to the PL. Why would he suddenly do a 180 and turn it down?

Money money money or it was all a smokescreen to get Ronald

 

[nsNO MORE]

I quite like your name. do you come here often?

First time i felt the need to actually post. Koeman is mediocrity personified

 

[BlueToff]

Very generous to give him that credit. I don't think he had a whole lot to do with it. they've completely revamped their recruiting process and it'll be solid with or without him.

Mate, half of the players he signed are from the Dutch league. Their best signing (Van Dijk) last year was a Dutch centre half...

He very much deserves the credit. Sotton operate with a model on how they do business, but it is still the manager and their scouting department who pick them.

If you're not giving Koeman credit, then you really can't give Emery any either for his signings at Sevilla - as actually that is much more to do with the DoF...

Unfortunately though, and this is in response to the OP as well, we are a stepping stone at the moment.

Whether that be for Koeman or Emery - it's just how it is at the moment. However much we as fans won't accept it for now, those are the facts. We'll get back there, and this appointment will hopefully be the start of that rebuild.

At the moment yes we are, from what i have been told i don't believe that will be the case for long. Moshiri wants us to be challengers, he thinks this is possible in a time frame. His ambition is to be the best.

Mentality of Evertonians needs to change, and like @The Esk says, with this appointment whoever it is and transfer plans and stadium plans I am sure a lot of us will be reevaluating their feelings on where we are as a club and where we are going.

This could well be the real deal and the pre-empt to Koeman signing. That's a very real and possibly likely scenario.

However it could just be meeting with Koeman just as we met with Emery over the last couple of days. There seems to be some inconsistencies, from meetings Koeman's agent to meeting Koeman. That makes me slightly doubtful it's the real thing yet. Alongside that it seems obvious that we are being quite detailed and a meeting is not a shoe-in for being given the job. There may be discussions/negotiations to continue.

I think the odds and the belief by some in the outside world it's on are in part down to it being leaked. This hasn't happened much so to the outside and footballing world it probably looks like the first moves we are making. We obviously know it's a little more complex than that.

I am unsure of exactly what Emery/Monchi and the club may be negotiating on that though I have no doubt to doubt the mole/Esk with their information to say there were discussions. Until you know what they are it's difficult to know exactly how likely they are to come true.

I do refer back to the original statement, it could be a nailed on Koeman getting the job but I'm not sure yet. This looks like Koeman has leaked this maybe to further strengthen his hand from Southampton, or maybe to try and re-claim his spot as Everton's choice. I think Everton are meeting him to put pressure onto Emery.

Lets wait and see, no doubt more information will come out tonight.

Who do you want as next manager, mate?

Stubbs, Ferguson, Unsworth - or at least one of those guys demonstrably working into that position as Head Coach.

No manager can fall as far behind financially as we have re: Stadium and Youth set-up and expect to also bring the success we want. Let's fix that gap with Moshiri's support, not blow it all on 'kin agents and their free agents

 

[bluewally]

If it is Koeman the one current southampton player i hope he signs is Tadic, hes a cracking winger

If we only get one I'd want Fraser Forster

 

[Brennan]

Adding Koeman would just reinforce the idea that we are ok being a midtable team that values net-spending over actual accomplishments.

That doesn't make any sense.

We have to sign the best manager we can. Pochettino went to Spurs from Southampton and got them into the Champions League.

We will not value net spend over actual accomplishments under Moshiri and Koeman will be told this.

Moshiri wouldn't have invested in us if all he cared about was net spend and making a bit of money. He would have just kept his shares in Arsenal. He wants to see us win things.

Similarly Koeman will only come to us if he knows he will have the money to invest in the team and try and get trophies on his record. Otherwise he may as well stay where he is.

 

[JinkyBlue]

If it is Koeman, I hope they put a clause in banning him from wearing cream colored kecks on matchdays.

 

[deipnosophist]

lol...I think he eventually renounced all that tantric bollocks for more... immediate release.

 

[Milkman]

I would imagine he'll be waiting the outcome of the managerial position before committing one way or the other.

Sounds familiar @themole10

 

[orly]

Shane long tho? Shane effin long.

Go and look at Monchi's biggest mistake and come back to us

 

[Peter The Dog]

I'm taking positives out of this process dragging on for so long, but would like to see an appointment made before the Euros, I really would.

 

[Norwegian Cow]

betway just cancelled the betting.
