The new owners should pick the new manager. We will have to wait a couple of months. Dyche is going to get 6 or 7 games to prove he should stay for the remainder of the season.
This is where the problems start though, lets have a proper DoF installed and let them pick the person that they want to work with, let's have some continuity for once.

Yes. No rushed appointments unless the threat of relegation can't be ignored. Take the time to consider the specific nature and needs of the club, the desired playing style, the demands of trying to compete against the likes of City without the depth of their pockets and within the rules, the owners' vision for the future... Think about the qualities required of a manager or coach, and only then consider candidates. No "big names" unless they fit the profile. Build from solid foundations according to a plan rather than buying tubes of polyfilla every few months.

Jep, a lot of the planning will also depend on what league Everton will play. As of now there has to be a 2 league planning. I hope to secure league status asap, to speed up that process.

There will be an upheavel. New board, owner, manager, a new DoF probably and above all many new players to come.

So I hope we can start that early to have the 10+ new players arriving next season available in June-early July to get used to each other with a new manager to be ready by August and not starting pre-season in August like Dyche.
 
Carsley would be an interesting choice, first job in club management but has done very well with under 21s and has an edge about him

Sarri would revolutionise our entire playing style no doubt but we’d have to back him. Zero point playing from the back if the likes of Keane Coleman Gueye Doucoure are still knocking about. Find a young Jorginho and a ball playing CB and RB and back the a manger properly if that’s the direction.
 
Why is Carlos Corb popular? His stats are not impressive

I was working in the John Smith's in a sports role while he was working at Town, so I saw a lot of football there during his tenure. In the club, there wasn't anyone who said anything other than him being a top, top manager. The work at Huddersfield was excellent. He had a really mediocre squad, a very precarious ownership, and a lot of turbulence at the club and managed to make Huddersfield one of the hardest teams to play against and beat in the division. Getting to a playoff final with that squad deserved a medal by itself, and he was one dodgy penalty decision against Forest (who have the cheek to talk about refereeing decisions) away from being a Premier League manager.

At West Brom, up until recently he's faced a similar situation, come out the other end, and his team now looks one of the most effective, cohesive, and exciting in the league. Two goals conceded in six games. At Olympiacos, he was set up to fail and made some mistakes, but everyone makes mistakes. It's a blot on his copy book, but doesn't seem to have stopped his momentum.

Plays some really decent football as well although despite his Bielsa connections, it isn't the same. Lots of baiting the opposition with slow build-up and breaking at pace, lot of creative set piece routines as well. While he used a load of different shapes at Huddersfield, pretty much setting up to stifle the opposition, he seems to have used a 4-2-3-1 everywhere else. Town played 3-4-3, 3-5-2, 4-3-3, and 4-4-2, sometimes in consecutive weeks.

I remember a journalist who covered Town and was a good mate of Chris Wilder, who said that Wilder told him he had been preparing for Town to play in a certain way, and when they kicked off they were able to spring a completely different plan on Boro that they couldn't match - Town won that game 2-0 away, by the way, apparently he described it as "one of the hardest games he's ever managed."

Everton would be really, really lucky to get him, and he has been used to pulling sides that are out of kilter into shape and making poor players better by building a really cohesive gameplan. Sound like it might be a decent fit for me.
 


Going to get a lot of manager links aren't we!

Sarri would be fun though
He does have that all important premier league experience.

I’d be happy with Sarri though. High profile enough but had a dint in his reputation, look at what Emery has done at Villa. Even when not sacked, he doesn’t seem to stay around long anywhere.

Definitely would be happy with Sarri. Don’t think there are many managers who hang around more than 2-3 years these days.

Would be a good appointment imo.
