The next manager appointment (new thread)

[bluestevon]

Rafael, however, won us the Florida cup, therefore deserves most of our adoration of the managers weve had since the 90s. Right?

What moyes did with poor team with no budget was inspirational. Especially during a time when billionaire owners started buying clubs, monopolising English football. To expect everton to win anything when we could barely buy player, let alone buy a league, is ridiculous. Moyes did the next best thing and steadied the ship, and got us challenging for European spots.

I'm not saying I think he's the right man go take over but saying he's a footnote in our history is incredibly disrespectful.

Any manager who wins nothing at the club - especially one here for over a decade is precisely a footnote in the clubs history mate.

Promoting him as anything more to that is buying into the 'we are a small club' mentality that Moyes along with Kenwright tried to ingrained into the club to kill of all pressure to be more than that - which is the club's entire motto ...

Historically we are one of the most successful clubs in the country, we also never in my lifetime of 50 years have ever crashed out the league - which itself is a huge achievement - and only one that 'big' clubs can boast (and not even all of those).

To willingly accept mediocrity or just making up the numbers every season is spitting in the face of Cattrrick, Moore, Kendall, even Royle for whom ever accepting that was unacceptable.

Will it take time and effort - ofc, but until we believe we can and have people in charge whose aim and goal is to achieve that then we will never ever even start the long process.

Southall is one hundred percent correct, every season the club's goals should be to win every single game they play. Since Royle was in charge we've rarely had that attitude (Martinez did but was fatally flawed as a manager)
