I think he's too green tbh - the Kean sub on sub off clearly shown he was flapping a bit and the following league game against Arsenal was absolutely dour and flat.

Once the initial fist pump novelty patch was over I think he would struggle tbh.

Could see the likes of Klopp and Guardiola absolutely schooling him tactically. He needed to have left to the SPL or Championship 18 months ago and started learning his trade as an actual manager.

Kean wasn't doing what he was told. He had a go at him before he subbed him back off. He was making sprints and then walking around blowing. He made a decision as he needed everyone putting everything in and got a result.

Klopp and Pep have school most of our managers, so that wouldn't be a change.

As for the Arsenal game, the side wasn't conditioned well. Gave everything at Chelsea and United, lost to Leicester, then by time Arsenal came round they were goosed.

Win against Chelsea, point away at Old Trafford, and a point against Arsenal. 1 goal conceded I think in 3 tough games after taking over a Marco Silva side that leaked goals for fun.

Of course going to the SPL or Championship is going to help anyone...but Arteta laid cones for Pep, got the Arsenal job. Gerrard coached the under 18s...got a huge job with Rangers. Lampard got a big job in the Championship then was handed the Chelsea job on a technicality (zero spends). Even Ole failed miserably at management still got the United job.

Personally think he's very much qualified to manage us this season. Install some pride back at least.

Doesn't seem to me that you actually need vast experience to run a club now. You need respect and players who will listen. That's half the job done.

And if we go down, I'd rather he did it that some kopite

Honestly Big Dunc would be the only manager I wouldn't support from the start.

I would want him gone ASAP only out of love as I know what this poisoned chalice of a job / frustrated fanbase would inevitably do to him in the end.

You wouldn't support him from the start due to what the fanbase would do to him? Like not supporting him for the start?

ok mate

If you want to see the fella grey with stress
Bags under his eyes
Angry Evertonians shouting at Bill to sack him after a limp defeat at home

Thats fine

But I couldn't bring myself to watch that and it would happen - not fully down just to him being a novice but also this squad of players who've seen off numerous managers.

Yeah best to get into him early save dragging it out

Makes me laugh a lot how fans turn on attacking coach Duncan Ferguson when things turn sour.

He coaches the players mate - particularly the attackers. Players like Lukaku, Calvert-Lewin have credited him for improving their game no end.

He’s the common denominator. The managers come and go and it gets no better so it must be Duncs fault.
Not the fact our recruitment and manager picks have been horrendous for the past 5 years

Don't think we would. Not in a horrible way anyway. I'd think we'd be very sympathetic towards him and aim it at the owners.

But I'd honestly think he'd surprise and do fine.

He'll be the only manager since Moyes that actually "knows" us as a club and what we need.

Think he'll be chomping at the bit seeing how things are going.

I dont think he wants the job mate I think he's perfectly happy laying cones.

When the media were pushing him to take it last time he was adamant that he was only standing in.
