People are actually wanting big sam?? What has happened to us!!

Horses for courses. We’re a basket case. Do you think Ancelotti would come?

Just think Allardyce could quickly get us back to basics. Put us back on track this season.

I'd accept it if it was just for the remainder of the season on a short term contract, with the proper new manager coming in after the World Cup

He'd kick us into shape and leave a well organised side for the next bloke to pick up

It wouldn't be the end of the world. At least we'd play with more bollocks than we are right now

With all the deserved fume at Konman I hope that Walsh is not getting a free pass. I wonder how much of this is up to him.

 

[ijjysmith]

I can't see him going until at least after Chelsea

Hopefully with no European distractions the new manager can have a decent pop at the FA Cup whilst also stabilising us in the League

Agree I think. It's mental but I agree.

But I still have a horrible feeling he'll be here a lot longer.

Would be interesting to know if/when Koeman goes, does Walsh go too?

 

[LouReedwalkonthewildside]

Terrifying but you just don't see us winning any of those do you?

He'll probably only be judged on the Leicester game orly because we won't be 'expected' to win any of those other games.

Allardyce?? FFS!! Is this what we've become? Our board have been getting away with murder for years and yet people like bk and elstone are still here and apparently with the same attitudes. If Moshiri is serious about EFC then some radical decisions need to be made and sooner rather than later.

Well I think he has to anyway but if you're a new manger and you're told you have to work with a DoF then it's going to put you off instantly.

Not many managers have worked in a structure with a DoF, and then when you look at his terrible track record then you'll just laugh at the prospect of working with him.

 

[Yarrgh]

Going to be nice to get Barkley back after Koeman is gone. It’ll be like a new signing.

If Koeman left, would Barkley reconsider his decision to leave? That'd be worth the payoff to Koeman in hard cash terms surely Mr Moshiri?

if barkley would sign a new contract that would pay off koeman, walsh and there utter failure.

Great minds thinking alike, or fools rarely differing?

Question: would you accept Sean Dyche?

Eddie Howe gets all the media love but what Dyche has done with Burnley is more impressive to me and he fits that 'dogs of war' mentality you guys seem to relish.

The more I think about it the more I see the parallels between Koeman and Smith. I am starting to think that a Moyes like character might be what we need and Dyche perhaps fits that role. If we had a really ruthless board, then as long as we replaced Dyche as soon as he had hit his ceiling and had some time to see if he could overcome it without losing momentum as a club, then I think I'd go with this. (Already thinking about how to get rid of the next manager... how Evertonian is that?)

Starting to feel sorry for Ronald now. Not a nice position to be in. The stress he must be under is not good for anyone's well being. I hope for an as dignified as possible exit for him asap.

The issue with koeman and sacking him is that it kinda let's the board off the hook here. We know koeman is in crisis and can't seem to get out of it, if he is sacked on the basis of that then fair enough.

But I would argue currently that it sweeps the boards failings under the carpet yet again if that were to be the case. We have had defensive issues this season with defenders form/ 3 injured and yet koeman very publically said he wanted another defender. The board didn't deliver that defender for him and the end result is poor defensive performances this season.

Similarly up front. You look at siggurdson free kick last night and then realise that striker / cf that koeman publically asked for isn't there. Siggurdson biggest strength in his game and we failed to give him it. As much as you can have opinion on any other striker at the club, they aren't a centre forward and they aren't going to have the same impact. Plus it means without a big man up front to hold play, there is nowhere for the ball to stick to when we attack.

I'm not defending koeman by any means and would still prefer him to leave if this continues but ultimately the board let koeman down in two key areas we are suffering in the most this season, but this will be forgotten about for blaming of the manager instead. It's completely poor not to deliver those players despite the public requests from the manager. This is where koeman is failing this season essentially, conceding and scoring goals, without those factors any team would struggle.

However I would still we koeman go simply because I feel he is in a rut he cannot get out into no matter how hard he tries to. But that's football, sometimes your employers are a joke and you can't make it work even when they handicap you to that extent.

Agree with this - if Koeman is fired (which he should be), so should the people higher up who essentially set him up to fail this season by failing to deliver what was required in the summer.

The whole thing stinks really - time for a huge clear out from top to bottom.

Walsh should have been out of the door already Ij, in my view

He shoulders loads of the blame for this. Doesn't pipe up once either. He was tasked with getting a list of striker targets together that were attainable and didn't drop off in quality from Giroud.

If his best effort was Raul Jimenez then he can 'kin do one.

 

[Harryflashman]

Koeman is clearly not going to resign.

Of course not you’re spot on . it’s a ridiculous suggestion, that said I think we can all see him the end looks inevitable now.

I think I probably would have Dyche you know.

But i'd also have Tuchel.

To be honest I'd have nearly anyone right now.
