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

[Brett Angell Delight]

I voted Rooney. Not because I want Rooney, I just think it’ll be Rooney.

Rooney.

Absolutely has to be Ferguson out of those options.

If it was anyone else that had been our assistant manager / coach under multiple failed regimes he wouldn’t even get a mention.

I loved Ferguson as a player but I’d have major concerns if he is our manager we are counting on to avoid relegation.

I think Dunc to the end of the season but would love us to go for Mancini as if Italy don’t get through the World Cup play offs he could be available

[CielosGrises]

It’s World Cup year, you think he leaves Belgium for this?!!

I'm speculating he could do both - it could be complete fantasy.

I would trust him as a short term fix to get us through this season over Martinez 1000000%

Belgium would not allow it, his contract would obviously state this

 

[Norwegian Cow]

Solskjær is available isn't he

 

[Khalekan]

I have gone for El Bobby among that lot.

Difficult one this as no matter who is picked, they will inevitably be the wrong person because let's face it, we're pretty much unmanageable at the moment, so I can't see anybody already doing a decent job elsewhere wanting to take the risk.

Rooney would take it I'm sure, but I'm not sure if their 'transfer' ban extends to accepting compensation for the manager. Inexperienced at this level

Ferguson hasn't done anything wrong in previous caretaker charge and would 'largely' unite the players and fans, provides continuity for the players. Also, those they don't want him at the club, this is the best opportunity to get rid of him but it would almost certainly mean he takes us down to do.

Martinez is now undeniably a much higher profile now than he was so he would be the one that might attract new players of a better standard, but can he set up a defence consisting of, well... you know who.

Potter won't take it. Lampard is an interesting one for me. Will undoubtedly have a modern view of how the game needs to be played, could attract players to the club, but likely wouldn't want the pressure the club brings...

So... Neil Warnock it is then!

 

[jinkyali]

Like a phoenix from the Benitez flames...

If i didn't think we could get relegated then I'd happily see him appointed just for Daves rebirth.

For sure, in that case it would be pretty daft for him to leave Belgium to be an interim - they'd have to offer him the usual 3 year garbage.

 

[Lee Smith]

If (and admittedly it is a big ‘if’ at the moment), Moshiri is even REMOTELY thinking that bringing Martinez back in as manager is a good idea, then it will just finally prove once and for all the monumental disconnect between him and the fan base, and his complete and utter misunderstanding of what the majority of Evertonians want.

If, even after all that happened when Martinez was sacked, with the way it ended, the fans protest, him taking the club to court and the lack of any tangible achievements he has managed since his departure, Moshiri goes ahead with this, then that’s it for me as far as he’s concerned. He can just fk off and take his stadium with him.

We are in deep crap. We will need a manager, interim or not, who can fully concentrate on the git of a job he would have here.

"Well yeah, course, it's a trific club, trific job. Delighted to be back really, trific fans - bit of a commute from dorset but Sandra loves Bootle, so yeah, trific. Just spoke to Crouchy and Niko and Jermaine. Lookin' forward to it really."
