Who says they are readily available?
Does @davek get the right of prima nocta on matty or something?
Fair enough. I just do not think consolidation of power is the right choice. Of course strategy takes time, but the strategy should be clear and obvious with multiple indicators. Not convinced that ours is at the moment.
Was going to reply with something similar to this as the thread includes one of my comments / replies in which I did not even mention Iraola. But the matter of fact is if we got a manager like him in you'd hope we supplement it with recruitment otherwise what is the point. Moyes famously said when speaking about Everton in 2018 (I think?) , "you live and die by your recruitment". Well ... hopefully we live, and for that matter - live lavishly, this summer regardless of the manager / coach. Sick of the we do not have European footy shout. Neither have multiple teams in the past 3 years yet they seem to buy players and develop them. Why don't we ?
Basically this. I think he's done more than enough to earn a chance at turning things round next season. The squad needs a massive overhaul, not a partial one.
The theory here is correct, there is enough talent in this team to play better and it wouldn't take a ton of time to do it. That said we need to stop penciling in Rohl and Armstrong like they're PL level midfielders.
Im ok with people admitting they were wrongThere’s a couple of others at least who have sneaked out the back door in the last couple of weeks….
Even becoming vocal in their desire for him to go - as if the vaults don’t exist
They tend not to develop if they never get on the pitch...weird that.Was going to reply with something similar to this as the thread includes one of my comments / replies in which I did not even mention Iraola.

Nope. Burnley is the Everton feeder club. From time to time a crap player from Fc Maintz 05.
So how much do you think our transfer budget will be and which young attack minded players would come to a team with no European football,then you have the injury questions over Branthwaite so realistically that's at least another central defender but for a squad you really need two. Barry has had a long-term shoulder issue which could very well require surgery so doubt he could be sold. It's a big job for any manager but unfortunately more difficult for someone who sets up a team like Iraola
it always is
