Who should replace Frank Lampard?

Sometimes the obvious thing is the right thing to do... but that doesn't seem to be the Everton way.

At the moment we are not attractive in any way to higher profile managers and I am not even sure that we want or need a manager who is used to deal with a struggling club and under performing players.

Bielsa for me is too big a risk.

We know what we are getting with Dyche and in our present position I think he is the best choice.
Twelve months ago I was completely against his appointment but now I think it is cometh the hour cometh the man.

I have seen suggestions of foreign names that people would like to see appointed and I think that is sheer lunacy.

Bringing a complete stranger to the premiership into Everton just now would be a continuation of our stupidity over the last six or seven years imo.

I wouldn't say bringing in someone from outside the PL was lunacy. Other clubs in similar positions have done it before and it's worked out OK for them. Ultimately a good manager should be a good manager whichever country they're managing in, so I think we're making a bit of a rod for our own back by only considering people with PL experience personally.

It is.

We need 2 to 3 in by the end of this window or we're done for.

Hugely important that whatever final discussions take place with them today include what they would hope / need to do in the transfer market over the weekend. If one is realistically achievable and one is pure pie in the sky there’s no point hiring a manager if we are unable to deliver what they need.

Yes, but there'll be some commonalities there - both could agree on certain targets.

I meant that bringing a foreign manager to a new country, a new league , a basket case of a club and totally underperforming player would be begging for relegation.

If, for instance we get a manager to get us to the end of the season and keep us in the premiership it could be looked at again. Although in my opinion it is following the end of the same rainbow we have been following in recent years.

We don't need anything spectacular.
We need stabililty, some additional players and a manager that can the players to perform better than they have been all season.
A manager that will get us to 17th in the table this season.

No I agree with your basic point, I just mean I don't really think a manager coming from overseas would automatically find it more difficult than someone who's worked in England before. In some ways someone coming in without preconceived notions of the club etc might actually help. As I said, other clubs have been in relegation trouble before and brought in managers from overseas, it isn't necessarily lunacy. The key is to find someone who is good at their job and suited to the task at hand, I just don't see that previous PL experience is massively important.

If you can get Pep, Jose, Wenger , Simeone or Klopp to join Everton in it's current state then I will gladly change my mind.

Might point being that it's more about the quality of the individual rather than where they are from. Of course they wont come but successful managers from other leagues will be tempted simply due to worldwide pull of the Premier League and it's inflated wages. Deciding between two managers who are polar opposites screams of panic-buying and yet again the DoF who should be dictating what type of manager we should be looking for is either uttely inept or has no part in this decision.
