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

Far all the talk of him, it doesn’t look like we’ve ever officially spoken to Rooney about the job.

With the talk of Adi Hutter on the brink at BMG. I'm warming to a Pereira 6 month deal in hopes of safety and them circling back to the unfortunately named AH

Hope...when he relegated 1860 Munchen in that same timescale?

Before Benitez was appointed the club wouldn't have thought about approaching a low-experience Lampard to lead us into the Champions League.

Now that he's available and essentially the cheapest option, they've allowed Pereira to hang himself out to dry so that Lampard looks a more and more attractive proposition by the hour.

By tomorrow, our fans will be frothing at the mouths, thinking that Lampard is the second coming of Howard Kendall.

He could be, we have to give him a chance

 

[Tigger]

So if the board and Moshiri decide to rehire Rafael Benitez the fans need to give full support to him?

Dont be a tit lad.

We probably asked him if he was interested, and he ran a mile away like any other decent self respecting manager would from a club that has fired five managers in five years, has a crazy owner, and fans graffiti the stadium on the back of a rumoured new manager joining.

He’s Croatian. That’s what happens over there when they like a manger.

Meh people are clinging on to this 1860 relegation when absolutely none of us watched a minute of them. It's not like they've basked in success before or since his arrival. They were in the same relegation playoffs the season before and have never got promoted back since.

Reports recently suggested that the board eventually agreed that he was still too inexperienced and swerved.

What's he done in the last ten years to deserve the Everton job though?

Nothing m8 but it's a 2 horse race between him and Lampard (who has also done nothing in his career bar having the future champions of Europe in midtable) so I'd rather have pereira on a 6 month deal than Lampard on a 2.5 year deal when both are not likely to work long term.

Not sure how watching them is relevant.

He couldn’t save a second division German side who weren’t actually in the relegation zone we he joined, he took them backwards.

There’s zero evidence he’s fit to be Everton manager, facing a very similar situation but with much more pressure and players who have significantly more power than players have for a second division German team.

…..hopefully we have a fresh & progressive start and that must also include the end of Duncan Ferguson. We can’t have an appointment that has a clause for him continuing as an Assistant Manager.

Fresh start means fresh personnel, not somebody who has sat alongside a series of failed managers.

The team selection and formation on Saturday reflected his lack of judgement, innovation and coaching expertise. Being an iconic personality for some fans is not a qualification for him to be involved in the playing side of things. It’s all too romantic and totally unprofessional.

They were closer to 1st on points when Lampard was sacked than where Tuchel has them now. Assuming City win their game in hand.

Lampard clearly has more experience in English football and is a well respected figure amongst other players due to his achievements. That alone gives him an edge over a guy who won league titles in Portugal a decade ago and a title in the tinpot Greek league.

Last season wasn't real football with the behind closed doors games. Things happenned that aren't going to happen again. We won at Anfield, the emirates, Spurs etc and the reds lost like 5 or 6 at Anfield against bottom half sides.

Basically, I don't think what happened last year matters that much. In the previous year of real football, Lampard got top 4 using young players, during a transfer ban, after Hazard was sold. He did a good job. Maybe not an outstanding one, but the idea he failed is totally wrong.

I've wanted Lampard since June and still do. Appointing him last summer would have made things a lot easier, but we are where we are, and I still think he can turn us round with time. The next appointment needs to be the right one for the long haul which is why I am so against the idea of Pereira as an interim. The thought of another managerial search in 4 months is not a good one.

Probably because that would give you an idea of how lucky or unlucky they were and how he played with them outside of just he took them down so he was clearly bad. We don't know if he improved their plat or not.

He hardly took them backwards when they finished bottom 4 in both the previous years and one time with fewer points. They were exactly as bad as before and he didnt improve them but didnt take them backwards. The club was in such a mess that they got a double relegation because the owner refused to pay the league fees. And as stated if relegation was such a shock whyve they finished 12th, 8th, 4th, and 10th in the division below? Maybe this 1860 club just isn't very good perhaps...

Compared to us who finished comfortable midtable last season and definitely have a squad with an ability above those around us.
