I can't believe it, I went to bed last night (I live in a different timezone) expecting to wake up to "He's signed an extension, it's off, everything's off, I'm off". But it seems to be more ON than it was last night.
Vitor should come here. Someone (maybe that helpful Porto fan, a big thanks to him) said he doesn't 'capture the fans' hearts', but I think Everton fans are more interested in results than nice quotes. If he went to Liverpool he'd need to come up with an average of 37 soundbites per week to keep their fans stimulated and interested in football. At Everton, he just needs to get the team playing, behave himself, and he will be loved, no BS required. Anyone who helps Everton FC will be massively accepted by the fans, we don't need a manager who sings and dances, just wins football games.

If Pereira does end up landing the Everton job, he will be faced with a very different reality. First of all, he won't be fighting for the league title - which does not necessarily mean silverware will be beyond his reach.
Secondly, Everton's brand of football under David Moyes was most often a rather reactive one. The Scottish manager, now at the helm of Manchester United, preferred to sit deep and compact (usually in two banks of four), and capitalise on the opposition's mistakes.
In that respect, Vítor Pereira could not represent a more evident break from the past and may have his work cut out to win over a team that have been punching above their weight and achieving excellent results with a very distinct style of play.
And thirdly, he will inherit a team that is tailored according to very different goals. For instance, his preference for playing out from the back may prove hard to accomplish, either because of Tim Howard (the goalkeeper tends to have a pivotal role under Pereira) or heavy-touch players such as Sylvain Distin or John Heitinga.
In midfield, Darron Gibson, Marouane Fellaini and Steven Pienaar should provide quite an interesting setup, since their characteristics complement each other quite well (despite playing nominally on the wing, Pienaar always drifts inside) for the sort of midfield Pereira should be looking for.
Up front, Pereira will be hoping Kevin Mirallas stays put, so he can combine the Belgian's trickery on the right with Nikica Jelavic's goal-scoring threat and Victor Anichebe's imposing physical presence in a three-pronged (diversified)

Guaranteed a Premier League title within his first two seasons at Everton. Nailed on. I don't see how it could possibly not happen.

I agree, I've wanted it for years and that's the formation Pereira likes but I'm not sure on the players you've chose.

As in no chance of getting them or just you don't like them??
I've just listened to it and when she was asked who Everton's new manager is she hesitated, laughed and said 'I'm not telling you'.
It sounds from that as though it's been decided, and the formalities need to be completed
Edit. That's Jenny Seagrove on BBC radio on Wednesday afternoon.
