Ranking Everton Managers This Century

[Ian]

Or more like he preferred experienced players like he did at Real with the likes of Modric and Carvajal. I doubt he ignored Gordon for those reasons you suggested

It's true so it's possible,

Also Silva should be higher in the table than Dyche.

Oh yeah, good spot. Chat GPT produced stuff

 

[knowing your history]

Dyche and Benitez shouldn’t be on this list. They need to be erased from our history.

I think Dyche is just one of those managers you have to endure to eventually see better days. If the club can get back to qualifying for europe and eventually winning trophies at some point in the next decade then his reign will at least be acknowledged as necessary, the root canal surgery if you like.

Same as Villa and Newcastle being managed by Steve Bruce not so long ago.

Find it really interesting how certain managers interacted with the club and fans (in my opinion at least):

Little to no effort:
Koeman
Dyche
Silva (think it’s more a personality thing here)

Compared to those who really made the effort:
Martinez
Lampard
Moyes (although tested at times)
Carlo
Duncan (temporary)

And those who never stood a chance anyway:
Benitez (fat pig)

By my reckoning we've had 11 Everton managers (excluding caretakers, i.e. managed less than ten games and counting Moyes mark 1 and 2) since 2000 and it's been a horribly lean period but what would be your ranking (based on their time at our club).

My "order of merit" would be:

1. Ancelotti
2. Moyes (mark 2)
3. Silva
4. Koeman
5. Moyes (mark 1)
6. Martinez
7. Smith
8. Dyche
9. Lampard
10. Allardyce
11. Benitez

I'd be interested in how everyone compares their tenures in charge of the club beyond simply the win ratio.

For me, Ancelotti was a dream, I'm probably being sympathetic towards Smith (I was still a callow youth in my thirties), harsh on Allardyce (but the football was truly awful) and I never did and never would accept Benitez of our great club.

Koeman ha ha ha

Koeman ha ha ha

So Donny why not post your ranking?

Sorry Mikey but it's such a depressing list

Ancelotti probably did more lasting damage than Dyche tbh

what????

 

[TheBigIguana]

what????

Ancelotti made a bunch of short sighted moves and then bailed when it didn't immediately work. It left us up the proverbial creek and it took time to rescue ourselves from it.

Dyche was a well worse manager, but he left and everything was fine more or less immediately because he wasn't given the leeway to just fire off a bunch of money at signings that had no chance to hold their value.

I mean we just got rid of Doucoure, an absolute drain on the club type of player, and that was a gift from Carlo because he just grabbed the first cart horse that could run around and cover for James that he saw. It was just a terrible match of manager and club.

 

[uglykidjoe1982]

Koeman is the second worst ahead of Benitez. Hated the club and spent millions on substandard players

Spot on!
