The new manager shouldn't be Rafael Benitez under any circumstance.

Take emotion out of the situation and it makes perfect sense. It's manager who was at least once World class, and who has won trophies throughout his career. He'd arguably be the manager with the best track record we've had in a very long time.

However, the decision needs to be an emotional one to some degree. The club's fanbase needs a unifying manager. That wouldn't be Rafael Benitez. The 1st sign of any poor form and we'd almost all want him gone. It'd be a lose lose situation in the end.

The list above is an interesting one. In my opinion a few of those names are unrealistic. I'd be very surprised if a Wenger, Mourinho or Simeone would give us a 2nd thought.

Benitez as stated above shouldn't be considered. I don't think Moyes should be considered either for similar reasons - he wouldn't be allowed the same grace period as a different manager by sections of the fanbase.

Howe looks an interesting candidate. Potter too. Though Potter has a much, much shorter period as a top flight manager. Arteta is the other option. Hard to judge him though. Never been a manager but highly though of coach for the best team in Europe over the last few seasons. Without his ties to the club I'm not sure we'd be so keen on him. However, he might be the one. That spark that's needed.

Who knows though? We still have Silva in place at the moment. I don't think he's sacked anytime soon. Think this run would need to extend for another 3-5 games. Even then a sacking would probably mean a temporary manager and a permanent appointment in the summer of 2020. Don't see Potter or Howe waking from current positions mid-season. Arteta might be tempted though

I'd say they look the actual opposite of interesting candidates. Very dull candidates in fact.
 
Only one for me

We need someone who walks through the door in the press conference and the entire fanbase agrees that he's the main man for this club. We've not had that with Marco Bronze because of the track record he had. The next fella needs to be a successful winner.

nobody really wanted him
 
Listen lads stop with these Jose shouts, this is Everton.

Its Neville, Dyche or Howe that is our level I am afraid.

We NEVER go for the best we are officially a very average club.

Leicester will be the team we have to catch now

We’ve never appointed a top manager, Kendall was appointed based on being a former player, Harvey was Kendall’s assistant, Royle was in what’s now the Championship with Oldham, Smith was winning everything with ease in Scotland, Moyes was a perennial play off contender with Preston, Martinez managed to both win the FA Cup and relegate Wigan within days of each other etc
 

Also the level of delusion that if he was to come here, he'd click his fingers and magic success out of thin air for us, is equally crazy. Never before has he taken a club like Everton to any sort of heights.


Dunno about that. He won the UEFA cup and got 2nd with that United squad.
