Nobody is saying he is an answer or should be signed. But you have to give him credit for what he’s done.Damned by faint praise indeed .
If the answer is Soucek we are asking the wrong question.
I for one don't think it is,but as I pointed out Iraola wouldn't have been flavour of the month at the end of 2025. What we need is a young manager who done a decent job in English football something in the Championship maybe even promoted a team and whose managed in the Prem and got a team into the CL,a manager who will pick young players. A manager like..........Frank Lampard30 years of winning nothing, and 13 years with this loser is not knee jerk, its cold hard evidence he isnt good enough.
But some happy clappers think he is going to change a 20 year habit next season hahahaaha
So you'd have been thrilled if we'd signed him at the end of December after a run of 11 games without a win. Sure you wouldYou're just being silly. Our rivals who won the league title two seasons ago think he's good enough for them but he's somehow not good enough for us, a team that finished 13th twice? Iraola is also not some unknown name, what he did at Bournemouth he also did at Rayo Vallecano which was why Bournemouth chased him and hired him even when stable name Gary O'Neill (who arguably had more of an argument to stay than David Moyes does) kept them up. They got dogs abuse for it but now they're reaping the rewards of their forward planning and vision. It doesn't have to be Iraola. It just has to be a more compelling plan than sticking with a manager because you're terrified of a relegation battle from three years ago now and because he finished 4th over 22 years ago.
I doubt anyone wants to actually sign the guy. But he deserves some respect. I don’t get why people mock and disrespect good, honest pros.Damned by faint praise indeed .

I expect it’s because some people overvalue such playersI doubt anyone wants to actually sign the guy. But he deserves some respect. I don’t get why people mock and disrespect good, honest pros.
He is a decent player , solid.Nobody is saying he is an answer or should be signed. But you have to give him credit for what he’s done.
Everton: ‘the fans want us to sign fast, athletic players.’
Moyes: ‘get on the phone to soucek’.
Everton in a nutshell.
But you just know Davy would love this ‘solid pro’ at our club. He’s the Moyes identikit player.Would be wicked if this wasn't just people flapping at random rumours eh
Is anyone saying he’s flavour of the month? I’d call him a good premier league manager myself. You keep going on about his 12 games without a win, whatever.I for one don't think it is,but as I pointed out Iraola wouldn't have been flavour of the month at the end of 2025. What we need is a young manager who done a decent job in English football something in the Championship maybe even promoted a team and whose managed in the Prem and got a team into the CL,a manager who will pick young players. A manager like..........Frank Lampard![]()
I mostly agree. On a free transfer he’d be a good squad filler though.I expect it’s because some people overvalue such players
He is a decent player , solid.
But he is past his best now and signing now would likely represent very little value for money.
