Mate, every single manager in the world needs months to drill their system, sure, new manager bounce is a thing, but it takes time, you cant just flick a switch and change the way players are used to playing overnight.

Im not disagreeing with the disaster part, but honestly whoever we get is gonna have to hit the ground running and its a tough, tough ask for any manager in the world.

Would've been a lot easier had they binned Benitez 6-7 weeks ago.

Would've been a lot easier if they'd just never appointed him like.

Favre has a proven track record of turning things around, he shouldn't be compared to the others really. He's a bloody good coach albeit not a long-term option. If they did want an 18-month manager he should be the first pick of the ones actually available.

Not to say we still wouldn't go down like but Favre can actually get players to pass a ball to each other.

A bloody good coach that has barely won a carrot in his career mate lol

Knee jerk lol remember when people thought we might have a contingency plan in place before we sacked Benitez?

If we play three at the back then we have to somehow play Patterson and Mykolenko to offer some width…but then how do you shoehorn grey/Gordon/richarlison/DCL in.

We have a squad that is seemingly suited to no formation.

I think we have to go to 4 5 1

Pickford
Patterson Godfrey Mina mykolenko
Grey allan doucoure gomes(new mf) richy
Dcl

Surely that side should be able to win 6 more games this season…manager dependant.

Injuries just won’t allow us to play this formation more than twice I’d bet

That’s still nothing to do with football

I must admit football, especially Everton FC, is too complicated already without bringing politics into it.

We cant afford it to bomb or you know where we will be playing come August

It has to work and only limiting your search to people happy with 6 months is a sure fire recipe for failure

Absolutely agree

If this is true then LOL.

Good that he’s potentially listening to fan unrest. However, absolutely shocking that he even thought it was a good idea to begin with.

We are not trying to compete at the top so don't need to be looking at trophy laden managers/coaches.

Benitez has won stuff in his career but is crap.

Would you turn your nose up at Bielsa, for example (not with this squad, mind)? he's won nowt.

Favre has, with Gladbach and Nice, turned underperforming clubs around, used youth players and played direct, attacking football. He was the one who also got the best out of Sancho at Dortmund.

I don't think he's a long-term option, but I do think he would be the right pick for right now for 18 months. He was the right pick in the summer.

That's fine as nobody we are linked with have have won anything as a head coach in England

I have warmed to him After reading the echo article on him
