I'll be honest mate, I'd say we are in the perfect situation to go for one whose untried but with huge potential.

Last time we had the choice was Arteta who we hesitated on going for when the chance was there. Instead we went for Ancelloti who stuck with us a season left us lumbered with big name players on huge wages we have only just finished seeing leaving, the Ancelloti hiring ultimately was the nail in the coffin in terns of economic damage to the club or chasing a pipe dream by Moshiri etc.

Sometimes the inexperienced but huge upside choice is better than the experienced proven choice mate.

If we are doing it, I'd want someone who had defensive as well as attacking basis really. Not Pochetino but in that mould. Like we wouldn't be able to switch to a Martinez style, and one like that could relegate us.

There's a middle point though. It seems like Carsley could fit that. In fairness to Arteta I think a lot of people felt he was like a Martinez, but you can see the Moyes influence on him, in how they defend their box and are very solid defensively.

Annoyingly someone like Marco Silva would probably do really well here now, with Moshiri butting out and the DOF running recruitment.

Quietly I think we have assembled a decent squad full of younger players. I can see a manager thinking he might do ok with them.

And honestly that's the first time I've felt this since at least Ancelotti, and maybe before.

Like it was a really odd game Saturday. It was the first time I've watched us in a while and think we are miles better than a team, and have creativity and balance etc, but also that we don't need a Dyche to keep us up by some miracle. That's a big shift really.

I think a manager mike a young Silva would certainly take a look at us. Look at who we have 25 and under (and appreciate some may only be ok, but a manager may feel he could get more from them).

Mykolenko, O'Brien, Brainthwaite, Patterson, Dixon, Tim, Garner, Armstrong, Lindstrom, Ndiaye, McNeil, Chermiti.

It's a good base at least.

Im with you here. The team has holes and I’m making no mistake and thinking they’re top 8 or even top 10 but there are people who seem to think we can’t be competing with anyone in the league which simply is not the case. Especially if Ndiaye can be as good as he’s looking so far. You no longer have the excuse that the attacking talent isn’t there. This team could play and a better manager can get them there. Someone would back himself.

What would we have to offer to a young, progressive thinking manager. At this second in isolation - absolutely nothing.

But part of that managerial type we'd look for is about the young and progressive thinking and you'd hope they could see past the immediate situation and the potential.

Next summer we are moving into a new ground, most likely under new ownership with a lot of the financial issues fading and now manageable.
The squad whilst very small will have almost no remaining bloat for any new manager to have to deal with, wage structure will be in firm footing and with a DoF who hopefully signs in thinking yo the new manager.

Throw in a passionate but battered supporter base, who are desperate to see us actually play footy again (lampard sorry was just too flawed and Silva I think right now we'd have been more patient with having seen FSW and Dyche subsequently, which have ground us down.

A progressive manager I think we'd give time to now if he showed us moving in the right direction in terms of implementing a style of play.

I actually don’t want a household name manager next.

There will be hundreds around the globe who have taken over a team in any league and progressed them, players improve under them.

A manager that been just at 2-3 clubs but improved them all, it doesn’t have to be league winners or European candidates, just progress wherever he’s been.

I’ve said it many times on here we won’t get elite managers or even the 2nd tier ones but managing Everton in the PL league would be a huge opportunity for hundreds of managers out there for financial and exposure reasons.

We offer a PL job. There are only 20 of those. For less proven managers a solid 8 of those aren’t accessible. If you have an ambition to do it in this league you can only be so picky.

True. It was dire, boring stuff under Moyes:

Yeah it was like that every week wasn't it 🙄

I could point to a fair few games under Dyche but that wouldn't be an accurate representation of his time here either.

Moyes won West Ham a European trophy and their fans were still making the same complaints that we did a decade ago.

Yes I agree. I don't think it's a great team, but it's quite a young squad, probably the youngest we've had since the brief Silva/Brands time and there is clearly some potential.

And look like I'm not saying McNeil or Mykolenko would be amazing, or that the current manager hasn't kicked them on, but a new manager may tinker again and feel he could get a little more from them.

Like I don't think we are worse than say Bournemouth when Irialo rocked up.

My shortlist would look like this, but not necasserily in this order....

Andoni Iraola
Francesco Farioli
Thomas Tuchel
Davide Ancelotti
Sergio Conceicao
Michel
Ruben Amorim
Roger Schmidt
Edin Terzic

Just no name a few...

Michel would be an interesting name. I also think Schumacher should be considered, did a great job at Plymouth and kept Stoke up.
