The Martinez De Boer shouts are so far off the mark its unreal.

De Boer plays The Ajax way, which is totaalvoetbal, Martinez played Tiki taka, which is the Barca way.


The term Total Football is often misused to describe any attacking football. In its purest form, Total Football is proactive, not counter-attacking, based on positional interchange and hard pressing.[11]FC Barcelona and the Spanish national team play a style of football known as "tiki-taka" that has roots in the philosophy of Total Football's greatest icon Johan Cruyff, who was manager of Barcelona from 1988 to 1996
 
The life of an Evertonian. Would make a brilliant movie hey folks?

We go from despair to hope to euphoria to losing hope to total despair faster than you can say the word Everton FFS.

Ok, so yesterday was the end of our world, today, hope and excitement with a little apprehension lingering in the back of all our minds.

I'm as negative and realistic as the next person when it comes to Everton, you have to be with our track record. But I'm also a person who looks on the bright side of things and I am the eternal optimist. Things have happened to me in my life that make me believe that - 2 major personal events that at the time were devastating to me, tuned my life around for the better and a well paid job and a beautiful wife and two wonderful young sons are the direct results of those to terrible moments in my life.

Plus I've been an Evertonian all my life, watching and cheering the blues on from afar (USA) since 1995. I was a season ticket holder from 1981-1994. I'm 47 now. See my second sentence above - that has happened to me 100's of times :confused:

So I have hope - We have Moshiri, we have money, we have a vacant managers position with lets face it a pool of options that DO NOT ALWAYS present themselves when you are looking to replace a manager of a football club. Its quite amazing the talent that is available right now. Some better than others, Jose, Benitez, Koeman, DeBoer, Bielsa, Favre, Pelligrini, Cocu, Howe, Karanka - jeez guys if we get any one of those its surely a MASSIVE upgrade over the last two managers we have had. And yes, they will have more money to spend. Surely we can be positive and excited about what is around the corner.

Yes, Everton do this to us all the time, they offer us false hope. Some of those names I wouldn't want, Benitez while obviously a good manager (he won the CL with a less than average team and Jerzy F****** Dudek in goal FFS!) he is exe Red and has just been relegated so not for me thanks. Pelligrini and Howe I'm not so fussed on, but would take ANY of the others.

Like I said, I'm an optimist, but this is how I think our next twelve months will pan out.

1) We get a really decent manager form a strong pool of options VERY SOON, possibly in place within the next couple of weeks.
2) He brings with him a forward thinking and a tactically and technically sound backroom staff
3) He has money to spend from Moshiri, the sale of players (I really think we should cash in on Rom as much as I like him) and the new TV deal - a revamp of the squad is forthcoming

Now, what I also think will happen:

4) Kenwright stands down and Moshir becomes outright owner.
5) Goodison upgrade or new stadium announcement.

You can all laugh at me if you like - but this just feels like its all possible to me. Now that Martinez is out, this is the FRESHEST and MOST IMPORTANT new start and couple of weeks in the history of our amazing club.

My prediction next year, if all goes well I see us finishing in the top 6 or 7. Small steps folks, that's better than the last two years. After that, I really believe its onwards and upwards for us, we deserve it for crying out loud :)

Peace. COYB. FTRS.
 
A little birdy tells me that Everton will soon be taken charge of by a former Man City manager... ;)

Emery

We were almost all excited with the promise shown in Bobbys first season, I want somebody who will get us going again like that with real passion for the job. A bit of an edge and who, even if they wont be here for 10 years, will give us a trophy or two and some joy in our football.

Koeman....De Boer....Pelligrini.....more I think about them the more I think meh. Safe options, not much to get behind or get excited about.

Mourinho...I personally can't stand him and wouldnt want him near the club.

So for me Emery.....or if we were all up for a couple of seasons of madness in which we might win a trophy and would definitely demolish some opponents in big games, then I'd give Bielsa a shot.

I don't think we are in an unstable place in general despite the crap season so I hope they don't go for the safe hands option
 

Everyone here keeps talking about de Boer becoming our next manager.

Vapidly need to appoint someone soon, just to get pre-season sorted.

Anyones guess as good as mine.

Not one to speculate.

Soon we will find out.
