...ditto, couple of manc mates all misty-eyed over the possibility of this balding Welsh philanderer being sat in the big chair. Odd.

Boss gooser he may be but he's practically untried management wise yet they seem totally devoted to it. One even used the word 'destiny'

The tit.

A lot of men who prematurely bald are very piliferous on other parts of their body...Giggs waxes his abundant chest and stomach hair. Apparently, his sister-in-law requested he do it.

This is where I can see why Utd may shun JM - because he doesn't develop youth.

But for us, with 21 years without a trophy and needing a huge catalyst to put us back in the mix in a very competitive environment, it's a very attractive proposition for me.

This is increasingly my view on Mourinho.

It'd be like that mad idea of launching a spaceship using a nuclear bomb.

There'd be a colossal explosion, with a load of fallout, but we wouldn't care because we'd be in orbit.

Absolutely. imagine the publicity.He would instantly put us back on the map.

Sky would pencil us in for half a dozen games in the first month of the season alone.Press conferences shown live.Back pages of newspapers would be filled with stories of Jose's Everton.

It would certainly be a circus but let's be honest, doing things the Everton way hasn't exactly brought success.
 

We're all gonna look silly when José is standing on the pitch at OT, holding a red scarf above his head.



Or not...

José for me, followed by Emery, but both quite unrealistic I expect.

Failing that, I'd just about muster a smile for Koeman and see the sense in it. Would be very dubious of FDB.

I like Jose don't get me wrong.
But I think the emphasis on youth was as much a message today than people may realise.
Koeman will be fully aware our squad is good and littered with exceptional young players coming through.

This is why I would have him over Frank, just concerned that he using us for to get what he wants at Southampton.
 

True.

But at least it shows that our ambitions are now higher then ever before.

Last time the shortlist was a manager who just been relegated, a German guy who had had a nervous breakdown and some Portuguese guy nobody had heard of before or since!
 
RK comes across as the most boring guy in the world.

But if he starts winning trophies for us I'm not really bothered.
