I think we need a young hungry manager like Scumacker(spelling) but I think the morons will employ Marsch or Fat boy
The biggest problem with a manager change right now is not who will sack Dyche, but who will decide on the next Manager. It is something a lot of people here have highlighted with that PL experience comment.
 
Don’t get the obsession with the hoof ball style, Everton won things playing good football yet there seems to be this thing of hoof it long is how we want Everton to play. I want Everton to play like City not Burnley
I think it’s age thing maybe fans under 35 have only really grown up with moyes and smith, may have caught the end of Royle era and it’s drummed into everyone by the likes of carragher and Neville. You need goodison angry, you need up and at them football. Dog of war It does my nut it.

Yes when we had no Money and needed to find ways to and survive in the 90’s and 00’s it was needed, but it’s not and definitely shouldn’t be seen as the norm.

I listened a pod from that Ben wynstanley yesterday and he had a guy on taking about the dogs of war and Joe Royle, which did surprise me as he was probably in his 60’s.

The mad thing is Them dogs of war out classed a spurs team in the cup semi, that we’re supposed to be a brilliant footballing team. And the football we were playing under Royle 12 months later was fantastic, with Parkinson, grant, speed, Barmby, Stuart, Kanchelskis, limpar, Dunc.

I remember us going to anfield and playing them off the park. Even under Moyes in his latter Years, we played some good stuff, his last ever game at goodison we beat West Ham 2-0 should have been 6 or 7. We played some brilliant football that day. A million miles from
The [Poor language removed] were watching now.
 
I'd love Potter but there's not a chance our fans would put up with possession footy. They're all too inpatient, just look at when we play it short of goalkicks. Immediate grumbles from about 10000 people.
I think they would now personally. Most fans know the next few years will be tough. So we have no choice but to give a manger time. But that shouldn’t be dyche his archaic football is taking us nowhere

Totally agree, Harvey Kendall and Ball didn’t play hoofball, the 80s winning team didn’t either

The 80s side could do both. Could play, could use sharp and gray in the air aswell. Thing about that 80s side is it had character. Kendall thrived on team spirit. I'd give anything right now to have a Peter Reid in this side. Thats why i despised alex iwobi in an Everton shirt. He is exactly the type of character you dont need at a club. The rot sets in when you have players that dont even tackle in a game. It spreads through a squad that you can coast. Win 1 game and then put your feet up for the next 3.
Yuk.

That 80's side had the same thing Man U had under Fergie. If you want a scrap we'll out scrap you. If you want to play we'll out play you. It becomes less about tactics and systems and more about character and desire.

Very true. And to a lesser level i think Moyes did well with that. He was very careful the majority of the time who he signed. If there was one player to pick out during Moyes time that he bought for attitude it was Cahill. Many others but Cahill's character dragged others along with him. We currently have none.

The 80's team we and many others were blessed to watch, at times were sublime, a joy to behold, even on the odd occasion when we went behind I never had a doubt we could pull it round. The football was, I imagine as I wasnt around to see it, but a real hark back to the School of Science days.

The movement passing of the likes of Reid, Stevens, Bracewell etc etc were and will always be a thing of sheer joy to me. I watched greatness and I am grateful for that period in my life.

What we see now barely resembles football, its painful to watch.
 
We also had the likes of Harper, Bailey and Richardson who may have not have possessed silky skills, although Richardson could glide past a good few, but as a team and a Unit overall worked for each other, had fight and guile in equal measure.

Sheedys Left foot were a pure joy, solid players like Steven and Ratters christ I would give anything to see the likes of those in Blue again.

Getting Goosebumps thinking about those days.
 
I agree Dyche will be here for a while yet. We would have to pay Potter more than any of our managers to persuade him to come. His stock is still high enough in the game that he will wait for a team a lot higher than us.
I’m not mad about it if it were to happen, but I’d be ok with Potter. But would the fans accept relegation under him if the worst happened? What I mean is, would new owners and more importantly, the fans, allow him to build a new style, a new team, and come back stronger in a few years?

They were never first choice but I can’t remember either of them letting us down when called upon. Great pro’s.

Don’t think potter would send us down tbh,
I excepted Silva to play good football but he didn’t it like there told there not allowed to
