Nah not for me, I live on the South Coast mate and there is no doubt he took Potters team up another level but by the end of the season he had rubbed a lot of people up the wrong way and had seemingly been heading for the exit door for a while from what a few Brighton supporters I know were saying.
What didn’t make sense was Brighton selling 4/5 of his best players and then giving him hardly any money, after finishing 6th. And then give the new manager 200mil. I could see why he was a bit pissed off
 
Hope Carsley is interested.

After the England stint, he’s high profile enough for me.

I’d rather we went for a young, hungry and progressive coach working with a good DOF.
I’d like to see him have a go at some point, but I doubt he is of the profile the Friedkins will look at.

Take him over Dyche in a heartbeat like.

That's weird indeed, especially considering they played Europe last season and 3 competitions. Their squad was quite thin for that.
 
Mouton go wouldn’t dream of coming here, until we were a top 6 side, so definitely not in his lifetime.
He would raise the profile of the club, but destroy it, our club and players could not cope with the level of attention he would bring here, and we could not afford the players with the mentality to do so.

When you say destroy, what type of ghastly outcome would you see Mourinho bringing to our door? Something horrific like a bottom half finish?

The way some people go on you'd think he was someone like Mark Hughes at QPR, or indeed Koeman at Everton, and he has a history of rinsing clubs and leaving them high and dry. Is there any actual evidence of this? Which of his clubs were left in such a horrendous state following his >50% win rate departures?

Then there’s a group of people that are so afraid of an eventual parting of ways that they’d never enter a relationship in the first place due to the fear that it will come to an end one day.

All relationships come to an end one day. All of them. That doesn’t mean you select Sonia Fowler over Tiffany Mitchell just because Sonia is likely to stay with you for a bit longer.

Sonia will also leave one day, but she won’t bring you any happiness; she will just keep you in Albert Square for the rest of your life and expect you to be over the moon about it.

If carsley had no history with Everton, he wouldn’t be getting mentioned he’s got no experience whatsoever and proved that the other night. We need to get away from this small minded mentality about ex players

Do either of them have their coaching badges? Could be worth a gamble. 👍

He's hardly left these clubs in a better state though has he, it inevitably ends up in disaster...falling out with players/owners and leaves them is a worser state then they were, not the messiah 'peak Mourinho' they were signed and paid top wages for. So you can see why people are concerned with new owners and a new stadium, basically a fresh start in place. He's on a decline and you'd have to be deluded to think otherwise.

I mean he’s just managed the national side and youth national side, but ok.

Brighton have brought a manager in aged 31 who only managed in the German second division.
 
How would you be expected to know if they're interested in Everton?

Reasonable assumption. E.g saying ‘my choice for the new manager would be Pep Guardiola’ is a bit ridiculous given he’s never managing Everton.

Everyone knows where we are in the pecking order of a bottom half team but with a historical name and good long term prospects (hopefully). We might attract a faded superpower manager but not a current one.
