How come it's been offered and everyone knows. What a shambles this board is , whole communication and structure.

They’ve clearly leaked it to the press on purpose so that us lot can relax a bit on our Friday night and then they’ll have him doing press bits with a nifty reveal video tomorrow

Because the club don’t announce things like that? They’ll announce it when it’s official on their end.

Thank God that's over. Every appointment is a risk and his lack of experience does pose questions but at least I feel more hopeful he will try and get us playing attacking football. We need galvanising I hope to God he can do it. At least he plays a 433, develops youth and will have the players respect. Now we have to get some midfielders.

Does he know how to defend them lol

Well he should be able to set us up a bit better from them.

Is odd though that all the headlines are that we've offered the job, rather than confirmation of the appointment.

Everton...

Just for our own sanity so we know how this place will be for the next 'n' seasons.

@davek do you approve of Frank Lampard being the new Everton manger or are you going to go all QAnon about this manager too?

"Always loved playing Everton and at Goodison Park as I used to smash 20 yarders in and bang goals for fun against them. Different now like but I always appreciated bagging"

Never seen a news story based around a team offering a manager the job before

We are a bizarre football club

We've offered him a tenner a week. Leaked the news of an offer. When he jibs it, Pereira in. Moshiri, the sly devil.

Is right. Nobody ticked every box.
He's got a job on his hands with this squad. As would have any manager. That cant be forgotten in all of this circus about the new manager. Most of this squad are dross. Esp the defenders.
Good luck. You'll need it.

having looked at wikipedia it may be that the 28th of January appears to be a day associated with disasters - in modern times the Challenger disaster, and in medieval times something which really defies explanation:

The Bal des Ardents (Ball of the Burning Men) or Bal des Sauvages (Ball of the Wild Men) was a masquerade ball held on 28 January 1393 in Paris at which Charles VI of France performed in a dance with five members of the French nobility. Four of the dancers were killed in a fire caused by a torch brought in by a spectator, Charles's brother Louis I, Duke of Orléans, Charles, and another of the dancers survived.
