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

[AleksanderTheGreat]

For me the most obvious decision is to bring Rooney in with Dunc as No. 2, I`m positive Rooney would let Dunc have more impact on the team than previous managers who took him as a token gesture to get the job....

From watching Derby they play the way I want to see Everton play the game with intensity, energy, heart, commitment and passion. Exactly the mould I think a Ferguson would bring, IMO Young Rooney with Dunc would benefit and compliment each other.

Then build the club from there.... starting with a good proven DoF.

I would also bring in Jason Knight from Derby. Available for 8 million.

I hear Moshiri and Kenwright are considering Adolf H. as next manager. The well spoken Austrian doesnt seem to have any pedigree for managing PM clubs, but Moshiri liked the patriotic stance mr H. showed. "we are confident mr H. will win the hearts of our fans, just as he did ours"

But who picks the team against Villa ?

RB and his staff have left, the club needs direction . You just can't leave the squad of players with no leadership or direction.

I do agree there is no immediate rush to appoint a manager and that is why people make the suggestion about an interim manager.

I don't see any more transfer business this window now anyway so it is about stabilising the club , picking up points and steering clear of a relegation fight.

Obviously the galloot will have to pick the team.

So what?

We then have 2 weeks to get this new manager sorted.

I can see him being stubborn and proud enough to want to get back to his unfinished business. Look how stubborn he was with his use of the word Phenomenal.

There might also be the temptation to leave this WC with Belgium as a What If... rather than the more likely failure.

i just don’t think him or mosh will want it again

We're in desperate need of a defensive Midfielder. Needs remedied immediately our starting midfield was Gomes and doucoure last game to emphasize how grim it is

I;m doubtful.

This lot have been tanking games all season.

They are at least midtable in quality.

I doubt very much cash will be spent when we have Benitez's severance pay AND a new manager to hire.

Quite a bit of COVID and injuries in the squad I heard.....

No, the new manager will have that time to sort the players. (Wheat from Chaff)

Could well be strong hint with regards to what it would take in terms of staff and organisational structure to bring him in. If Everton aren't willing to do it in a way he finds agreeable then don't bother contacting him.

Well a load of former staff have left today.

No way was Potter's comments are a rebuff. He'd be up here in a heartbeat if offered.

Why, Brighton are better than us this year

That's not what happened when we hired Ancelotti.

 

[bullybeef]

I wouldn’t rule Potter out yet.

When questioned today he didn’t say he wasn’t interested and when he stated that he was happy at Brighton he rubbed his nose… any body language expert will tell you that means he was telling a big porkie pie!

Rooney won’t happen.
Martinez won’t happen.
Big Dunc won’t happen.

Potter seems the best fit for everyone.

Let’s hope that he’s a Davey Moyes rather than a Mike Walker!

 

[roydo]

Thing is, Everton have not recruited a good manager, (Carlo was a happy happening, until, y'know), for 6 years.

It utterly sucks. Dunc for a few games, then god knows who. If its Brown Shoes, heaven help us.

 

[Mutzo Nutzo]

He plays 2 in CM and our fans have done nothing but cry arse over the last fella doing that

Would fail here playing 442 imo.

Depends what he does with his fullbacks. You can play 2 in the middle with advanced fullbacks - like a lot of modern progressive coaches do.

You need to get with the program

 

[Toffeelover]

That's not what happened when we hired Ancelotti.

We are talking of now not back then.

So what? It's a valid case in point.
