You want everton to take a risk and gamble on a younger manager for the incredible small chance we might get a Alex ferguson? Everton have got some great youth players and Ross barkley I feel excited by all that but give up this notion of longevity it's impossible! Due to the trappings of modern football

I guess AVB is the most sensible choice if you want to go young

It's not just Alex Ferguson though is it? Pochetino at Spurs looks like he's going to be doing this.

I like Pelligrini.

However not sure at all if he is right for us.

I want a manager who can:
1. Motivate the players and have them fired up for games
2. Organise a team so each player knows what they are supposed to do.
3. Promote an attractive style of play.
4. Improve players
5. Plays young players and trusts them
6. Has an eye for a bargain in the transfer market

That is a good summary of what we need. Pelligrini is a good manager (and probably would have been perfect to follow Moyes) but what we are seeing now he just doesn't fit. Of the above he probably does 1 or 2 at a push of the above.

1) They have a poor record in big games.
2) They are well organised (I give him that) although they seem very reliant on Kompany
3) He does this.
4) I have seen little evidence of this.
5) Again not an awful lot of evidence of this.
6) Again it would have to be a no.

Use that tick sheet list and compare it to De Boer, Tuchel, Emery and he doesn't come out on top.

That is true. I am just not sure about his age now mate. He did the business in Spain but has struggled in England and underachieved at City. He looks like a manager on the way down.

Alongside this he had a lot of money to spend at Malaga. We are talking about manager who performed well nearly a decade ago at Villareal. For me it's a no. I see nothing from that Manchester City team that makes me think he will turn Everton around and build a dynasty.

Maybe not a dynasty, no, but getting us into the CL perhaps. Our next manager doesn't need to be someone who stays for a decade or more but rather someone who stabilises us as a top four side over 2-3 years, which an experienced coach like Pellegrini might be able to do.

I'm not holding out for him specifically, just think he's being a tad underestimated.

I think it would be better to judge Pellegrini on his work at Villarreal and and Malaga, or at least take it into consideration. He improved both teams dramatically in the league and got each into the CL knockout stages. His time at City hasn't been perfect, of course, but he's undoubtedly a talented coach.

I think he managed a few 2nd and 3rd place finishes whilst at Villareal, too.

Defo a good manager, would have taken him in a heartbeat after Moyes left.
