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

[Eggs]

@Mods, can we actually add Joachim Loew to the poll, rather than having him languish in the "Other" section?

....price has drifted to 33-1 if you think it's going to happen.

If the dutch version of Moyes (Koeman) is offered the job I will be livid.

Il be telling myself we won't anything soon anyway.

 

[People75]

But will he?
Is his style way different than Martinez?
Spanish and dutch football style, is supposed too be very familiar, or soo I heard.

Obviously De Boer would most likely choice as he's now unattached.
I wouldn't mind him taking over either.
I would love to have Jose Mourinho however...

I agree wholeheartedly, but I'm sceptical in the extreme that we will now end up with anyone of a higher calibre. I hope at the very least that the club are being crystal clear as regards the board/executive structure that a new manager will have to work with. Moshiri is the new overlord, but it doesn't seem quite as simple as that and I grow more confused by the day by the relationship between Kenwright and Moshiri, the apparent timescale for a 'handover' if this is required, and in the absence of any leadership at the club for months, who exactly does what at Everton now.

I hope potential candidates don't end up as confused as I am. This is without mentioning the size of the rebuild now apparent - that may be appealing to some but not to others.

Just my hunch, but I think Koeman is appealing (internally) as Moshiri becomes more aware of the rebuild required, he has PL experience, and will be seen as a stabilising influence. I also think if Koeman ultimately gets the job and restores to the Moyes' era league placings over 2-3 seasons, Moshiri may likely instigate a further change of manager then, to take us to the so-called 'next-level'.

I don't think that is an unrealistic scenario given the state of affairs currently. A Director of Football, would in addition, provide a direct football link to the board and ease any transition to a possible "Phase 2" manager.

Koeman is certainly underwhelming though, let's not pretend he fulfills the "statement of intent" template.

There's a lot in this. I am trying to balance some optimism but also having a degree of realism around Moshiri. I have every faith in him and am very optimistic about the direction he's taking the club in from what we've heard so far. However I am not going to argue black is white to defend him, and Koeman is not a top managerial appointment.

Over the summer we will get more information and clarity. Hopefully that will extend to more information about the future, why he has chosen the manager he has, the structure he has, where he wants Everton to be. Increasingly though we will need some explanation for what's gone on over the last 6 weeks. Who has made the decision to keep Martinez when it was clear he'd lost the players and what actions have been taken for them backing the manager?

Sunday promises to be another humiliation. Of course it's just another humiliation of many but it is our final home game and a game where seasoned pro's deserve a decent send off. Peinaar, Osman, Hibbert, Howard in spite of what's gone on before deserve better than Sunday. I am ok with the board sticking with Martinez and jeopardising that if it allows us to get a top manager. However if all we are waiting for is Koeman that is underwhelming, especially when De Boer is available and could be in charge for Sunday to avoid the faff.

Koeman is a decent manager. Of course I will get behind him if we have him. I'll await to hear the reasoning for getting him. However don't try and fob the fans off further that he is some world class manager we've needed to put up with the last 6 weeks for. It's rubbish. Not when there is Emery out there, or Tuchel or De Boer out of work. He may well do a great job with us, but he's not a fantastic manager at present. Nor is he a manager who is going to get us keeping Lukaku & Stones.

As regards the DOF I am interested about this. I have given it some thought. I wonder if Joachim Loew has anything to do with this. He has overseen a huge transformation in German football and I wonder if he might be a man we have earmarked? It sounds like the role of DOF is quite open according to the Esk so he Loew's flexibility and experience in Germany may come in handy?
