Who should replace Frank Lampard?

This is a secondary consideration now.

Whoever they get in will need good attacking players, players we dont have right now.

The urgency should be over transfers not managers.

We can sort out a manager during the period when we face Arsenal and Liverpool.

I hope this club are focussing on players not managers right now.
But players we would buy for bielsa would likely be a marked shift from what we’d buy for dyche. Bielsa would seemingly want new centre backs whilst dyche would probably be happy with a few beasts up top.

It’s an utter mess.

This is completely bizarre thinking

Of course we need players but we can't get them until we find a manager. What sensible player is going to sign for a club with no manager, and the widest possible shortlist that goes from Bielsa to Dyche.

We've already lost out on one player because we have no manager. The idea we can recruit well without a manager is pretty mad to be honest. Just look at the shambles of last January.
 

Looks like Dyche to me - and I'm happy enough with that given the reality of our situation. He's a very competent manager - and we haven't always had that in a manager under Farhad.

Bielsa looks like hard work. We have enough high maintenance types around the club. I would welcome Bielsa in much the same was a constipated man would an enema, but, similarly, it might get very messy...

Dyche looks like he would be much easier to get in the door. That might swing it for him. That said, Moshiri loves a superstar, and he tends to get what he wants, so who knows? We should have some white smoke in the next 36 hours. Anything later than that is another dereliction of duty on top of all the other ones...
 

Not sure there is any appointment that will make me confident of survival. We need to appoint someone who we believe has a realistic of bringing us straight back up, if the worst happens.
I totally agree. I believe we are down; years of mismanagement coming home to roost. But I genuinely believe that Dyche takes us down whilst confirming Everton's position as a dour, clog-ball, backwards-thinking team who no good players or youngsters in their right mind would want to come to, if given alternative choices. I also genuinely believe that there is no way Dyche brings us back up.

With Bielsa, if we get even a fraction of the commitment, energy and attacking intent his teams deliver, in the final months of the season, it would energise us, energise the crowd etc. and I also believe it would make us attractive for recruitment purposes if we go down. Also, he can instill a style that can be adapted by future coaches and I believe that he has what it takes to get us out of the Championship - something he's done recently, unlike Tyrannosaurus Dyche.

Of the two (and we should be looking further afield than these two) Bielsa is the only choice.
