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

[jungleburger]

So have we actually approached 4 managers about managing our club? Does this mean that RM is definitely on his way out?

Press reporter " What are your targets for your new Manager Bill"
Bill " What a day, What a man, you know as soon as I met him.....
Jose " shut up... to win everything that shines in the shortest time possible"

No conspiracy, just that I know the identity of 3 of the 4, they are all employed. I don't know the identity of the 4th.

How happy are you with the three names you've heard, @The Esk? Are all three of a decent calibre?

Really talk of Mourinho, Tuchel and Simeone is just absolute pie in the sky.

We have a rich owner. Who doesn't?

Yeah... A lot of people setting themselves up for disappointment

 

[allen]

The fact Mourinho has gone out of his way to do interviews, be seen publicly, at Boxing matches etc, tells me it is not a done deal with Utd.

He's openly said that he is open to any offers and then will make a decision, you don't say that if you know you are going to Utd.

But you may if you are trying to force them into action to head off any offers from elsewhere. It's a way to flush their interest out.

Ralf Rangnick written all over this mate..

Meltdown.

Tuchel and Simeone are just complete no goers. Tuchel is only at Dortmund a year, why on earth would he consider taking a huge step down and coming here? Simeone, you'd imagine his next job would be a step up too, not down. I wouldn't be surprised to see him managing there his whole career or at least most of it actually.

I get why people talk about Mourinho, he's out of a job, etc but the wanting to work in England thing is nothing more than a come and get me plea to United IMO. Mourinho doesn't do managing the 12th best team in England (or even the 6th or whatever). It would be completely out of character for him to take on a difficult job where the odds weren't stacked in his favour. His meltdown would be even quicker than usual.

Thought he was linked to the phantom red bull backed takeover? Not sure if his pedigree would attract otherwise. Mind you we did appoint a man who relegated Wigan so who knows.

Wow.

I can't believe lids would think Jose a bad appointment ?

( However unlikely as it may be. )

I'd be buzzing all summer and season tickets would sell out.

I didn't say it would be a bad appointment, I just think it's unrealistic. I couldn't see it happening, but if it did, I wouldn't even be convinced it would work out.

All new appointments come with risk but Jose is one of the surest things in football. We've been in contact of that I have no doubt.

I would never consider Everton to be that to any club in World football.

I guess you are a younger fan?

Would you in that case regard Leicester City as a huge step up from us?

We are just in a bad spell and a barren stage of our history without silverware. That can change quickly with the correct people in charge.

Weve approached them to see if theyre interested for a summer change or immediately? Putting the feelers out?

Or were actively interviewing them on the sly ?

I'm in my 30s. As a fan, I get your sentiment, but I'm looking at it from an outside perspective. A manager like Tuchel, Mourinho, Simeone - what does Everton have to offer them? Be honest with yourself.

I'm not quite sure what you're getting at about Leicester but I'll just answer this question as if it's a straightforward question: Do I regard Leicester as a step down? It's a difficult question to answer given they're about to win the league and my answer would have been different this time last year but the short answer is, no. I think it's fair to say that Leicester are above us as an attractive destination right now. At least for the short term notwithstanding the effect of the new ownership, which I personally am not yet convinced will be the silver bullet some seem to think. I'm cautiously optimistic, don't get me wrong, but it still has to play out.

Maybe that's why they've called Bobby in today, to tell him that we're exploring other options in the close season. Rather than him hearing it through the media etc.
