Red Echo revelling in EFC's difficulties. Scumbag biased writers.

 

[Zeitgeist]

Sky rolling out the usual drivel

The board 'is thought' to be having a meeting tonight

I heard Its going to be lampard but unfortunately it's not really Lampard its actually Roberto Martinez as he has access to face off technology based on the 90s Nic Cage action hit faceoff. It's all a plot from Bill that way we'll accept Roberto. I got my source from the interweb so its gotta be a factoid

This club is hopeless they should have appointed someone last week and given them more time to get some targets in work with the players we are in a relegation dog fight!!!!!!!!

 

[neil999]

If decision is made tonight , dont they still have to agree terms?

Bringing a bone to a relegation dogfight?

I don't think he should necessarily have that job at this stage, but don't lump Cahill in with Sharp and the like in the "jobs for the boys" stuff. He's been away, has gained top level coaching badges AND has done a bunch of jobs (along with training/qualifications) on the business side too.

Should absolutely be at the club imho

Well that is a point I wont argue at this time but there are too many of "the lads" at the club for my liking .I still say he has no experience in that capacity so why ? If they want a real true blue take me I am blue to the core ,if you cut off my head - Everton f.c. - would be like a bar of Blackpool rock but that would not be the for best either .

 

[blue1948]

Why can we never do any single thing in a straight forward manner, I mean any thing at all?!!

What is more straight forward than interviewing all the candidates and making a long thought out decision ?

SKY saying board meeting tonight to make a decision. This is beyond anything now

Why do they need 5 interviews for each candidate and then board meeting to discuss the interviews they were all involved in? Disgraceful. Surely the could have had a quick talk after the last interview and made a decision.

For a job of this importance and stature, the short list is questionable. Not just who is on it but each brings a different level of experience, a different cultural and footballing background and it seems to me none truly fit the urgent requirements.

We have short term needs (win matches to stay up and make the most of the squad already in place as that is what they will be working with): mid term needs (identify and shift deadwood, replace with better and hungrier players, rebuild clubs internal and external relationships, help develop and implement football strategy) and longer term ambitions (compete regularly at the top level and win things as well play attractive and effective football).

The three being interviewed don't make me think they can do 2 and 3 at all and point 1 might make Lampard (always been at a successful environment including Derby who paid for theirs) and Pereira (will need time to integrate and time is not what we have) none starters for me.

I'd look at either Ferguson till season's end or someone like Nigel Pearson only till season's end. Use the time to interview longer term and a more diverse list of managers but who all have a consistent strategy.

I'd look at Potter, Steve Cooper, Rooney, Marco Rose, Diego Martinez and (I know) Xabi Alonso. All "technical coaches" who play progressive football. All would need a strong Director of Football and we should use this time to build this

Thanks for reading.

just put all the candidates on the wheel and whoever it lands on gets the job

Whomever it is I just have sympathy for anyone that has to interview with bill I bet you he spends hours just reminiscing about the time Sylvester Stallone came to Goodison. I'm sure they're like " that's great Bill but can we talk about the tactics I'm going to play?"

 

[bcblue1878]

Yup.

At derby he’s in a win win situation.

At Everton he could easily lose/damage his reputation within 4/5 weeks!

Changed that a bit for you ?!

We'd definitely land on the person frozen out
