Obviously, I feel the Moyesiah's race here is done - but I am a "no" on Iraola. We've seen this before from the latest flavour of the month managers from the Bs - Brighton, Bournemouth, and Brentford. Potter, Frank, and now Iraola are held up as the hot ticket to glory - but sink in the wrong environment. Now, it's a small sample size, but these clubs are superby run behind the scenes. We're not. At least not yet. Only Eddie Howe of the Bs managers has gone on to do what people might have expected. I always rated Eddie and he's established a good career for himself, winning a pot at Newcastle - which is an historic achievement for them. Nevertheless, even he was replaced at Bournemouth, which suggests it's the club as much as any good manager there that determines success. Would anyone really expect Keith Andrews to go on to greater things? Heck, I didn't expect him to have this season's success - but, again, that was in the "safe" superior well-run environment of Brentford. How would he do elsewhere? I suspect not too well...
Glasner is more attractive. He has managed big clubs - Eintracht Frankfurt are a really big club here in Germany. They have huge tradition and history. They have certain expectations. He won a domestic cup and Europa League there. That tells me he could handle Everton. Add to that his new success at Palace and he now has proven himself in English football. He'd demand backing. He'd raise standards. He'd attract players. He'd certainly coach them.
Obviously, there are other managers out there - but Glasner's CV is far more credible than Iraola's right now.
