Yes but you've got an interim person who has experience managing an actual football club...

Or an interim guy that can't get kids playing and a current player that just puts his fist in the air every now and again.
Worked for Lampard lol

I get what you mean but no one in their right mind is gonna be an interim for 5-6 games anyway, so we're left with the youngsters managers - Baines or Paul Tait I believe.

Or Thelwell maybe? Modern 3-5-2 anyone?
 
Steve Cooper. Think he’d be a good bet to get us back up as well if we went down.

Not for me considering the money/team.

I'd add Bielsa probably rightly clocked there would be no money, hence he wanted that arrangement where he worked with the academy/u23s team. A rare episode of forward thinking. Can't imagine him signing old father time Young to play high press footie for a start.

Oh well, Dyche it is.

"No way I'm keeping these up/they cant play my preferred style so I'll let someone else be the fall guy and come in afterwards"

So an example of how even managers without a club, who a championship team attracted - didn't fancy us.

Indeed.
 

I think that came down to who was in the hot seat.

If 777, for example are very close to buying us, then I’d imagine their sporting director would have major influence.

Huge If.

We have to assume at this stage they won't considering it's been ongoing since September. And even if they are, it only adds a layer of chaos/uncertainty that doesn't appeal.
 
Isn't he a quite a negative tactics manager as well?
It's difficult to judge Cooper, his Forest team in the Championship were excellent and played some really solid football, then they got promoted and went mad on the spending and I think Cooper had very little say in any of the signings that came in and they didn't just change a team, they changed a whole squad.

He’s not a top drawer manager, but we’re talking about replacing Sean Dyche here, relegated twice, sacked by Burnley, longest winless streak of any Everton manager, Sean Dyche. The bar is not high. There are managers out there who would struggle to do worse is all I’m saying.

Aye, not a great look. I don't actually really blame Bielsa there. It says a lot about him, not necessarily good, but equally he could have come in pocketed a huge wedge and been payed off handsomely (as is the way) if/when it went tits up. Like Benitez did.

Really not sure on Dyche's motivation. Money of course. We're a big club. Biggest he'll ever manage. Maybe it's that idea of a challenge - he's got a particular way of presenting himself as a fire fighter backs to the wall no-nonesense grafter and maybe he thought "that's for me". Or maybe he just desperately needed a gig. Speculating here.

Lampard I think genuinely thought he was a top level manager in the making. Nice guy, but found out.
