He's done nothing for over a decade. Outdated approach. He's basically like Benitez now. Add that to the fact that he'd stay 18 months and leave us in a worse position than when he arrived, having fallen out with everyone from Friedkins to the tea lady and aired all of our issues in public and we'd have bigger PSR issues than we'd ever had before.

That's before you get onto the issue of his football being absolutely turgid.

Can't think of many people I'd want to avoid more.
There a reason he’s in Turkey
 

He's a really good shout. That said, Brentford are currently, whether we like it or not, better than Everton. Everton will soon have a better stadium, but no manager joins a club due to their ground.

The history means nothing. We've been a nothing club since the 80s.

Brentford have spent a net about £100m in the last three years, so he does get backed there.

Unless the next Everton manager is promised significant funds to completely change the squad, going from Brentford to Everton as an example would probably be a terrible move.

Tell a manager he's got £100m this summer and I think we'd have a lot of interest. Whether that's doable under the financial rules, no idea, but we'll need that kind of investment to avoid a lower bottom half finish next season - if we even stay up this season.
We finished above them last year
