Who's next after Benitez - Poll reset 25th Jan

[skumar55]

Couldnt make it work at Man Utd or Spurs? Obv with what the guy has won previously when there is a drought of not winning a trophy at one club is disasterous but shows the level of the guy....

Man Utd, finished 2nd and won the Europa and Community Shield, 144 games with a Points Per Match of 1.97 and a win percentage of 58% (P144, W84, D31, L29)

Spurs, Sacked in the week before the Carabao cup final, so could have won a trophy at Spurs to keep his good run going. Come the end of his career I can see Spurs being the only club not to win a trophy with Mourinho... Win percentage at Spurs was 52% (P86, W45, D17, L24)

Thats better percentages than any other manager on our shortlist or we have been linked with and only a select few have won more than him and alot of them arent in the game anymore or even alive.

If Jose can win us anything we be over the moon, he's a serial winner, he would be my first choice. He will make us difficult to beat.

Hi, @ForeverBlue92 ,Can you tell me the CV of the man that was just sacked for getting us into a relegation scrap? Thanks.

That would be Irrelevant tbf.

Get a good dof in for the summer and let him Make the decisions, set a plan in place how to play, the coach for it and the players to fit it

You would think such insights were rocket science considering Moshiri's lack of comprehending whats simply commonplace in modern football. Sadly it seems such basic concepts of hiring a director before a manager is too difficult a concept.

 

[Dave Hickson]

So many opinions here, it's wonderful. No one is wrong or right. Great to see.

Think about how many football clubs there are in this country - thousands?

Then think of how many have our history, our fan base and a stadium like Bramley Moore - puts us around 7th?

We've won 1 trophy in my entire lifetime, and I was 8 months old.

We are a midtable Premier league team who've done nothing of note for years.

Granted we are a bigger club than Brighton, and I'd love Potter to come here, but if he continues to do well with them then a bigger club will look at him and I don't think we are a big enough step up to risk his place at Brighton.

Also we are a mess, if he came here and couldn't do it it would permanently set him back.

With remit to get us out of the Championship before it opens, he’s in his element at Brighton with very little pressure ,and we were one of the biggest clubs in the land if we still were we wouldn’t be again looking for another manager

Because big clubs don't sack managers?

And a remit to get us out of the Championship is rather fatalistic.

We're more likely to go up to midtable then go down.

This has been the worst run since Kendal's last stint and we are still 6 points clear with games in hand. And we have a full strength squad again now, plus the fans will be back onside.

rooneys doing a good job but it’s way too soon

Reminds me of Lampard. He’s showing promise but Chelsea proved too early for Lampard and dare I say Rooney is too early for us.

In how this process is appearing thus far, couldnt agree more.

 

[little elfin]

please bear in mind...

 

[MrGrumpy]

We cant get Martinez back. He was bad.

Lampard. Not for me

Rooney too soon

Give it to dunc first and asses the season as we go on

Rooney too soon.. managed 60 games
Give it Dunc… managed 4 games

Brighton and Everton aren't comparable, in any way. Different stratosphere of clubs. This is peak Brighton, right now. It'll never get better for them.

And winning trophies recently is the only measure we fail hard at. Everything else is there.

And what bigger club looks at Potter?

 

[Melchizedek]

Well you are lauding Jose for his CV implying it is an indicator of likely success with us. My stance is that it is not as evidenced by our now previous manager.

 

[CrustySack]

Thinking long-term, I want Evertonians in charge, taking us from Goodison to BMD. I just can't stomach another outsider.

Nah if I was a manager at a team that is full of good young players with a good structure that is constantly improving. I wouldn't risk losing that for Everton. Not at the moment.

If he continues to do well, a team knocking on the top 4 will take a chance on him. Potentially Rodgers successor if he moves elsewhere.
