The next manager appointment (new thread)

[Drico]

I agree, my wish is with the new owners is they sweep away everything that has brought this historic club to it's knees and start bringing it back to what it once was, with a new stadium on the horizon this should be a start of a new era which we can be proud to be an Evertonian

It's a once in a lifetime opportunity: new stadium, new owners, new club.

We can build from scratch once more. The last time we could do this was when we left Anfield.

The club has to be reborn. There is no future in "plucky Everton" and "good times". We will become the new, improved Sheffield Wednesday, that way. Any student of football history will know that a properly run, ambitious, and funded Everton can become a giant in the land once more. We have been before. We can be again. It will take time, but this is a glorious chance. The Friedkins have a massive opportunity. Let's hope they're up to the task.

We should have the ambition to fight for Europe in a few years, if there are titles even better. But Moshiri cost us a few years to have good financial basis going into BMD. Man United, City, Arsenal, Chelsea will be outside of our financial possibility, but there should be no reason not to be in a group like Newcastle or Villa.

I am looking forward to it, and I hope we will take better decisions than when Moshiri took over and the club had a solid financial basis.

….we’ll need a manager with a record of building a new team which will also require a new DOF with a record of acquiring good footballers with a restricted budget.

I agree clean slate is needed

 

[jceverton]

I'd take him. Some Spanish or Portuguese blood, has experience in a known and good league in Europe.

Would you take our manager Ernesto Valverde as manager, he is running out of contract and it might be his last season. No decision taken yet here.

If you'd been watching the dross we've seen for years you would 100% take Valverde. Why hasn't a decision been taken?

We absolutely can get in amongst and above Villa and Newcastle. In fact, I could very easily see us as the "next in line" if, say, one of the Big Red clubs and City faltered. People will say - rightly - that we were the best of the rest in the Moyes years. We were, but his and our ceiling was still too low to make any real inroads when chances came. We were not really "next in line" - we were very definitely the "best of the rest" - but the "rest" might as well have been playing in another division. This time, with this stadium and ambitious, wealthy, competent ownership, "next in line" can genuinely be that: ready and able to win a cup or get into the CL when the chance arises.

That's the challenge. Success should be measured in cups, cup finals, and European qualification. Heck, if they achieve with us what they already have with Roma, we could at least have some genuinely good times.

Officially, he has a 1y contract, but his standing is very high here that he basically has unlimited contract that he can end himself. We just watch season per season.

 

[MikeH72]

Would anyone consider Ten Hag?

Dyche failed to pick up a single point or even score a goal against him, so at the very least he’d probably be an upgrade.

They play some great footy, it must be weird watching Everton play!

I always look back to 2005 and see how it was a missed opportunity IF only we had ambitions owners then

 

[Simon Buttle]

Not keen on the Sarri talk tbh, there seems to be lots of it atm and I really don't see that as a mid season appointment.

 

[brieverton]

I work with a Portuguese lad who's a massive Porto fan. He was telling me about Conceicao, just with the links to him should Dyche get the boot. Apparently he's a very passionate guy, to the point that he going into a full on rage if his team is losing! Even in training, he's capable of going fully mad if its not 110% effort and commitment. He said that if he does come to the Premier League, the league will never be the same again! Sounds like a proper nutter...

I confess to liking that type of manager, Conte is like that and Simeone to a lesser degree. It still has to be backed up by tactical nous and support from upstairs though. Watching us is deeply frustrating at times and it's natural to want some lunatic on the touchline not accepting it.

I don't think players respond in the same way to shouting and raving, nor should they be indulged but if the balance is right, then I do think there is something to be gained in a squad low on quality with that sort of full-on approach. It's more like an obsessiveness really. It's impossible to quantify though. It has to be a genuine trait of the manager, otherwise they would all adapt it to suit and faking it can be seen a mile off.

Martinez was no enforcer but a lot was made of him arriving at Finch Farm at 6am every morning. It meant nothing. Nor does Sean Dyche soundbytes and training regimes.

Conceicao would be an appointment worth doing in my opinion there is always a risk there. It's probably more of a question would he see himself as Everton manager if he was coming to the Premier League. I think it's probably doable though.

It is, but we don't play pretty well this season tho, but are in a good spot in the table.

His sacking at Barcelona was pretty harsh, sacked after losing in a Copa semi, while being first in the table, after 3 titles in 2 seasons before.

But he was never popular, because everyone knows the Barcelona DNA with possession-based football. His style is far more vertical like the difference you see of Spain when they won Euros this year or 08-12. f

It was. Unquestionably. If memory serves, the only player we bought BEFORE Villarreal was Phil Neville. What ambition.

Kenwright was a charlatan whose best decision ever was to listen to Walter Smith's recommendation of David Moyes. Moyes acted as his shield. He did a great job with what he had - which wasn't much - but he lacked the ability - and serious backing - to make us winners when chances came (and they came in the FA Cup on multiple occasions but we came a cropper against Reading and Wigan with only City - who we regularly beat back then - left).

A lack of ambition and funding should never be an obstacle again. If that is the case, then we await the competence to take advantage of such resources.
