Wayne Rooney

From what he’s written and what I’ve heard of his thinking and tactics he comes across as a young , intelligent manager. Very , very few managers make it without being sacked at least once , usually when they are young and inexperienced. Let him develop elsewhere for a few more years , he’s not ready yet , one day he will be . Then the question will be are we ready for him, at the moment we’ve managed to go through a whole series of experienced managers without any notable change.

Hiring experienced managers has put us in this mess. Bring in someone unproven and let them prove themselves. Someone who wants to better themselves is what we need, not someone here for a pay day late in their career.
 
Would be quite happy with Lampard, Rooney not so much. Think Mr. Benitez needs this season though, unless he doesn't (or can't) turn it round after the January sales.
 
Agree...yet some people still think he should get the gig.
If he did well you know where he'd be off to next? History repeating itself!
Well if he wants to manage United then he'd need to do an outstanding job here. Not sure why people think the stepping stone argument is always a negative.

Our problem is that we bring in overpaid players with zero incentive to better themselves. Maybe if we brought in young players with aspirations higher than Everton, then we'd see hunger on the pitch. Striving for better is a good thing in all areas of employment.

See above
 
but it's a young manager we need.


Errr, why?

This is the kind of thinking that ends up causing clubs no end of bother.

We don't need a young manager. We don't need an experienced manager. It doesn't matter, we just need a good manager.

I'd rather have the best available please. Not the best available from a random criteria.

Because our obsession with "experience" and "PL proven" managers has put us in this mess.

We need a young long term manager. Evertonians seem terrified of giving someone a chance and it annoys me. We need someone to come in and prove themselves, not someone here to top up the pension before retirement. Football has moved on and the top players of the noughties are going to drive the innovations in coaching over the next 20 years. Either we move with the times or keep appointing utter no marks like Allardyce and Benitez.

Marco Silva was young when we hired him. Still is TBF
 

Gambling the TV contract revenue on an inexperienced manager's ability to survive a relegation fight with a paper-thin squad while we're trying to build a stadium sounds like incredibly poor risk management. There's a time and a place to roll the dice on a manager. This isn't it.

On the Lampard debate: what I saw of Lampard was that he had no clue how to assemble all of the pieces at his disposal. Tuchel came in, immediately sorted out the defensive issues, and by swapping attacking personnel generated enough goals to lift the big cup. Part of that was taking the pressure off by earning enough points to keep the cup final from being do-or-die.

His first season was pretty good. Then abysmal recruitment ruined his second one. The whole situation became untenable as we dropped into the bottom 3, but I think he's a good coach and I like him.

We lost Gueye and Zouma and didn't replace them that summer. A lot of issues stem back to that. We brought in Delph, Kean, Iwobi and Gbamin. 4 absolutely terrible pieces of business.
 
Rangers took a chance on Gerrard and that worked out well for them; and for him withhis move to Villa.

We're in no better position then Rangers were, why not take that chance?
They were 3rd in a 2 horse race in an ale house league.

I think there's a huge difference.
