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

[Noisy noise annoys]

….this is not a normal appointment, we are not in a comfortable position where a new manager can assess the squad and bed in, we need at least 5 wins or it’s likely we’re relegated.

Whoever comes in has to hit the ground running.

100% this. I honestly think Dunc can do enough in the short term to get points on the board before being found out, by which time we have found our long term appointment

I always wanted Galtier but that ship has sailed. My preferred choice now is Kovac.

However I could get behind Lampard ,Rooney, Fonseca or Ferguson.

I would be very unhappy with Mourinho , Nuno or Martinez.

Kovac seems a risk to me and quite a big one. No prem experienced and was sacked in his last job

Yep.

I don't see how it can't be Dunc in and then they can look at making the long term appointment.

Never mind the coaching staff and the players, the new manager or DoF has to deal with all the other staff we no longer have!

Is it going to be genuinely Allardyce?

Just imagine the fune . I would love Everton to get themselves a sense of humour and leak out that they have interviewed him .
Don't worry mate. It won't happen . He was nasty and bitter after he left and Saint Bill won't put up with that.

It’s mad how they flat out refuse to look at managers abroad

Given how often managers get sacked I’m not sure this even matters.

Who isn't a risk?

 

[Milkman]

Let’s have it right, Rooney beats Lampard in an interview. Bill will be positively swooning at the prospect. Bring a blue home.

Bill will be crying too much to even hear what Rooney is saying.

Sorry, I'm a bit ignorant on World football; who is Kovac?

The former Croatia and Eintracht Frankfurt boss won the DFB-Pokal with the latter in 2017-18 after guiding them to the finals the season before.

He won the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and DFL-Supercup with Bayern in the 16 months he spent with them before moving to the Ligue 1.

Monaco reached the Coupe de France finals last season after leading them to third place in the table, missing out on the title by just five points, and Everton could do with such a manager.

Everyone is a risk. Premier League experience is a complete myth of a requirement. It's a load of nonsense that's holding this club back.

The Croatian transformed Monaco from relegation contenders to title challengers in his 18 months in charge

Like that guy off pottery throwdown

 

[davek]

In reality this is now down to:

Rooney
Martinez (I dont think that one has fizzled out yet)
Lampard
Potter (who clearly DID NOT rule himself out yesterday)
...possibly Kovac

Pretty much where I am at.
