To be realistic, who will come Everton in the mid-season with poor results in recent years and in relegation zone now? You assume all the pretty good managers will say yes, but it is impossible

I don't assume they will say yes. But you make the effort, you approach, you present a serious business case and make an offer.

Brands and Moshiri like to present themselves as professional and forward thinking. If they're going to do that then they would want to back it up.

If you aim low, you get associated with that type of manager. The cycle will go on then forever.

There are no excuses for looking at losers like Mark Hughes.
 
Totally different scenario, he bought a load of our fringe players while there because he had little money to spend. He would come straight in here with some decent players here already, also a few bob to spend in January.
He had good players and money to spend at Man Utd and was the catalyst for their downward spiral. If we sign him up we're done.
 

But Eddie Howe is ?

Howe has kept a worse team than this up 4 seasons running. And he’s done so with a style and a long term philosophy. He’d be the right man for a proper 3-5 year project to push the club back into the Europa consistently.

As good a manager as he is, you don’t give this task to an Allegri or another top manager who don’t have experience working at the foot of the table with a disheartened fanbase, under intense pressure, and with a very limited squad.

Benitez would be a great option, it’s whether we could get him. I just don’t think Bielsa is that man, personal opinion.
 
In what respect?

Bielsa had Leeds top of the Championship for most of last year, before they lost something like 5 of their last 9, winning just 2 games and dropping into the playoffs.

I just don’t reckon he’s the right appointment for where we are. That’s why I reckon the board will consider an appointment to the end of the season, like Moyes for example, to steady the ship and get someone else in at the end of the season.

He’s incredibly experienced for a start.

One of his biggest plus points is being able to take a squad he didn’t build and quickly make a coherent side out of it. That would be a big plus with this horrible mish mash of a squad.
 

This team is in the relegation zone and bloated beyond belief. It will not command a top manager.

at some point a manager is just simply going to have to overachieve in blue.

The next manager after fergi was always going to find it very very hard, even after Moyes look who’s been there abs struggled, some of the highest rated managers in the world, Solskjaer is struggling a bit still.

You tell us he has never been In a relegation battle . So why is he equipped for one now.
