Who should replace Frank Lampard?

[Bluewolf]

That's not the way James tells it.

Yeah because he's going to come out and say "as soon as I found out carlo was leaving, I couldn't get out of their fast enough".

I'm sure there a sound bite of benitez saying he wanted to keep James somewhere.

The fact the lad couldn't be bothered to show up for the lap of honor when the fans were dying to see him tells me everything about how he felt about this club.

Imagine Bill Kenwright in a meeting with Bielsa.

People hating on Bielsa but asking for Pochettino, Corberan, Gallardo. Bielsa was their inspiration

One of the most important managers of this century.

And maddest.

I'm all for madness at this late stage of Everton's terminal decline.

 

[preposterousvelios]

Bielsa was my pick when this poll was first made and would be my pick now.

Could it end up being a Hindenburg level disaster? Absolutely.

But we ain't getting Poch and we ain't getting Tuchel. Of the realistic options Biesla is easily the standout for me.

He is everything that Lampard wasn't, and would show up to the club with both an in depth tactical analysis of our squad/previous matches and a complete list of targets to improve us.

Also that hand grenade story is great. Wouldn't mind him walking into the boardroom and trying something similar.

Thats why I want someone like Gallardo, a manager who nobody has really got a proper opinion on.

Will never happen of course and would be risky at this point in the season anyway.

To be fair to @TheBigIguana he keeps saying we need someone who has never been in the PL. I actually get what he and you are saying based purely on your statement.

I actually like bielsa but I understand others won’t. People will like dyche and others won’t. We wouldn’t have these discussions with gallardo until some turd finds something on YouTube.

None of them sit on a bucket.

 

[Kev The Rat]

Why?

Dyche isnt keeping us up

Bielsa may not either but at least we’d be trying something different

 

[Drico]

Didn't he also want vitor as well? But I think you're correct he seems fixated on a percieved big name in some context

He probably liked the armband.

My issues with Bielsa...

At 67, it hardly screams "long term plan"
Could he get the players to the required level of fitness etc mid-season?
Do we have anything like the sort of players we'd need to make his way of playing work?
He is renowned for just doing one when things at the club aren't the way he likes it - imagine what would happen at this club!
Is going for a front foot, charge of the light brigade type manager really going to give us the best chance of not getting relegated?

On the other hand...

Not doubting he's a tactical pioneer
If we get relegated, it wouldn't be his fault and he'd be a good starting point in trying to get us back up
It would be fun

 

[captainvindaloo]

Whoever we get, as far as new manager bounce goes, we will need this...

 

[jayden28]

There's a whole world out there and the best they might come with is biesla and dyche.

 

[john jako]

People so certain we are going down. Go down with bielsa lads. He will find out so much from these players and board and he will air it. Needs to happen now.

I would be all over Bielsea as a summer appointment. I suppose there is half a season to go still but he wont have a lot of money or time to change things. Then again nobody will.

 

[Rooney_Tunes]

You act like theres two choices keep Frank or go for biesla. Theres a multitude of other options, frank wasn't capable but biesla's high energy style doesn't suit our team either

Fair Point...Whoever comes in comes in, and they will either keep us up or relegate us.
