[Groucho]

Its not really looking hypothetical that he'll go, but who comes in is still conjecture.

Every single blue I've spoken to today wants Jose.

Give him the job right now. Imagine him fronting Klopp for being a cringey tit and sticking a grenade in his Amber Leaf grid

Bringing a grenade to a gunfight.

What's wrong with Laudrup? One of Europe's greatest players in the past thirty years. Won trophies as a manager at three different clubs.

Think he ticks quite a few boxes.

Not so much laudrup but the others.

But he hasn't been in management for over a year and the last team he managed was Lekhwiya, whoever they are.

Someone edited the Wikipedia page of Bielsa to add in "Everton 2016- " on his managerial history! Gone now.

I like Bielsa, his Bilbao side played some great ball, but ultimately he's just a more experienced Martinez.

add me to that list

 

[Groucho]

add me to that list

Aye, but I know a few who really don't want him due to his personality. I understand that, but I'd ultimately give him a go.

He's nothing like Martinez, he hasn't relegated a club for a start. And he also has a bit of a personality and toughness to him, he takes no prisoners and can actually motivate players

That's not necessarily a bad thing. If Martinez actually learned from his mistakes, he'd be an awesome manager.

I'm one of that there lot.

do they want to win things or date him?

Perfectly understandable. @The Esk agrees but I just think we'd benefit from his experience more than we'd be at a disadvantage due to personality.

Both, me.

He plays attacking football but his teams lack consistency. That's the only basis for comparison I was using.

That's the reason I want him. He demands success from his players and staff, who at the moment are getting an easy ride. The club needs a big shake up and he has the personality to do it.

I totally understand your point of view. He'd certainly raise our profile and attract talent.

If he would somehow agree to a season or two, I'd be up for that. I'd want to know there was a clean end date, though. Otherwise, I'd just feel that one day it'd all explode and he'd leave us with a colossal mess to clean up.
