Who's next after Benitez - Poll reset 25th Jan

[kenada_blue]

Nothing dramatically new, it was more the impact of reading it all at the same time.

• Sources likening the situation at the club to Game of Thrones with numerous factions vying for power
• Staff throughout the club hacked off because Benitez was constantly at them, thinks he's the world's expert at everything
• Froze out the existing recruitment staff to the point where they quit
• Players baffled at the decision to sell Digne then sack Benitez the following week
• He's ripped apart the structure of the club - "The club is now shaped in Benitez's image, without Benitez"
• Martinez the favourite, Rooney, Favre and Ferguson also on the list

Kin Benitez FC car crash and he's left the scene of the accident

A miracle now.

imo opinion the most logical thing to do is wait until the summer and then sound out getting potter

potter should be our number 1 target and if he is not interesting in leaving brighton mid-way through the season then i suggest giving the job on an interim basis to big dunc and baines until the summer and then go after potter in the summer and if he is still not interested fair enough we can then see how rooney did with derby and possibly explore that option or maybe someone really good will become available in the summer that might be interested in joining us like ragnick

What is this word "Interim"?

An utter BS concept. I blame Man Utd.

There's a half of a season here.

We have one game in three weeks, and this board need to appoint on a permanant basis.

We cant have some cone layer and his mate taking this job on.

Back?

Martinez is just a flawed manager in general but the players in our squad aren't compatible with his tactical style whatsoever ( yes you could argue that the players we have aren't a fit for any style) but especially not possession based football requiring ample passing would be a dumpster fire of chaos

Scott Parker? Where are you hearing this?

Ignore him mate, he is one tedious WUM.

No mate, the key issue wasn't time, it was he couldn't even beat Norwich or 6 or

No mate, the key issue wasn't time, it was he couldn't even beat Norwich or 6 or 8 others

I think you‘ve read that wrong mate, they issue now is the time we’ve got left, it might not be long enough and he should of gone sooner.

Heard someone earlier mention Davide Ancelotti.

Belgian press is making it sound like Martinez is waiting for some kind of counter offer.

I'm going to take a complete shot in the dark and assume Martinez is your first choice.

Who's 2nd and 3rd, if RM isn't available?

 

[Brennan]

Even considering the circumstances?

What does qualify someone to manage Everton anyway?

We play in the Premier League.

 

[Azza]

Bloody hell.

 

[Brennan]

But Lampard is?

I didn’t say that.

However, Lampard is more qualified to manage a PL club than Rooney is. And if their roles were reversed there is 0% chance people on here would be suggesting Lampard take over.

A Rooney who nearly got Derby promoted and had a 52% win rate at Chelsea vs a Lampard who might save Derby from relegation ?

 

[toffee-boy]

Bloody hell.

Would you take him as director of football?
