Superb article on Carsley and his style on the BBC site:


It’s got me feeling glum about what I still believe will be his upcoming coronation as the new permanent England manager (CC @bluestevon), because I do think he’d be brilliant as Everton manager.

Fingers crossed the stars align at some point, anyway.

Reading it now mate, already feeling glum now too.
 

I have been resisting the temptation to post as I honestly haven't a clue. However, looking around at who might tick boxes for our owner, I wonder if Thomas Frank might be the man. He has gone about his business at Brentford without much (if any) fanfare. He comes across well in interviews, has cut his teeth throughout all levels of football, and knows a thing or two about sports psychology, and he isn't DAVID flippin' MOYES!

I like him, do t think he would leave them at the moment to be honest.
 

If its an in-season hire and assuming we are in a terrible table position, I doubt they go with anyone future inclined or progressive. That would make me think it would be Moyes. He would accept probably on any terms contractually, and would garner immediate support. I cant say that excites me, but considering how the team is designed its akin to Dyche but with a lot more good graces and i'd think a bit more nuance. We could probably get him interim which is a big plus, but as a longterm option i'm not sure what we would be building with him at the helm.

If the club tries to inject some Evertonness with an ex player I would hope they would lean Carsley over Rooney. I have said this for 3 years going but Rooney I think would be utterly idiotic. Carsley is a risk to be fair as well but he at least has some abstract intrigue in relation to development. May help recruit U23 and under talent. He'd know how to navigate toffees fervor. I could accept that appointee.

As for others I am a fan of Potter but I just dont think that's any realm of a fit in regards to our fanbase. We have to admit were a tough crowd im just not convinced he could manage that personality wise. Two names out of work that should get a phone call is Kasper Hjulmand and Edin Terzic. Both are a youngish profile and could be intrigued by a EPL job even with our mess. Hjulmand was very impressive as Denmark's coach and Terzic had better runs than the likes of Marco Rose and Lucien Favre at BVB with arguably a worse squad.

Even if he was open to the idea, Brentford would rightfully make it difficult and look for a substantial compensation payment. We don't have that money.

I believe if they were to make a change, we can probably rule out anyone in a job currently for that reason.

It would either be a free agent or someone coming from a lower profile League where they would want the job and and compensation settlement wouldn't be as much of an issue.
