We’ve had every single profile of manager possible since Moyes left.
Possession based philosophy of ultra optimism
Experienced European name with prem experience, disciplinarian
Relegation specialist
Up and coming progressive Portuguese tactician
One of the best managers of all time
Disciplinarian tactician with experience
Ex great player up and coming promising manager
Pragmatic experienced PL manager.
Apart from one season under Martinez and 6 months under Ancelotti, they’ve either all largely failed against their targets at the time, or they’ve achieved them but the fans hate them regardless.
At some point perhaps the fans need to look at other factors at the club rather than obsessing over the profile of the manager.
At one point Chelsea had such a set up at their club that Roberto Di Matteo was able to come in and win the CL and Fa Cup. Managers came and went out of a revolving door and even interim managers were winning trophies. Players would join the club without knowing who the next manager was. The success was built on ruthless culture at the top, depth of quality and continuity in the playing squad, it wasn’t built on a never ending search for a mythical manager who can make a bottom half squad top 4 challengers (although we had one of them once and Everton fans got bored of him)
When one of the best managers of all times has you playing 4 CBs at the back, low block, and just two players upfront on the counter attack as you’re getting played around by bottom half teams at Goodison, and the team is incapable of putting a pass together unless one of the best number 10s in history is in the team…..then at some point it’s just time to change all the players.
