So should we sign big names as bench warmers and potentially driving another wedge in the squad?

As much as I don't like saying it, Everton are still relatively small time compared to the top 6. We have even splashed money about had a so called big name manager and failed miserably. That's why at this moment in time I'm more than happy for Unsworth to be in charge,IMO so called big name managers aren't any good to us in the position we are in,they want to come to a club where the team already has a bit of structure and a relatively balanced team so they can tinker around a bit and get it right. Here at Everton a full service is needed, anyway at the moment it would be a big risk for a big named managers reputation, look at Koeman's at the moment. I really see quite a few of what we have bought probably have to leave as I think our future is a mix of youth and experience, ATM the youngsters that are coming in are better than the big buys, so I'm happy with Unsworth ATM to see what he can do.

We shouldn't be signing bench warmers at all. Southampton fans were laughing at us for giving contracts to those two.

The media will appoint UNSY as permanent manager.

We jolly well are not small time. Our owner has lots of cash and it's only a matter of time before someone spends it wisely for him.
Then the "big four" had better watch out, that's all.

That comes across as let's not try. Let's keep it with just Evertonians with the staff and just young players coming through. Don't go spending money or showing ambition because there's a chance it won't work and the big boys will laugh at us.
Facts are the money we spent is nowhere near enough to bridge a gap of consecutive seasons of much bigger spending across the teams above us. City alone spent over £400M this summer last under Guardiola. Chelsea have spent around £275M over the same period and Man Utd around £300M and all 3 will have dwarfed us in spending in previous seasons as well albeit under different managers.
Spurs are the most obvious exception to this but they still outspend a lot of clubs in this division but spend it very well with an eye on balancing the books. And even they have the odd blip such as Janssen. The RS have cut back on their spending in the last couple of years and it's really beginning to show.
As for big name managers then Koeman simply wasn't one. Success in Holland and a decent finish in the PL with Southampton is not the stuff of stellar reputations. A great player but his managerial reputation has yet to scale any heights.
So you don't want a state of the art stadium on the banks of the Royal Blue Mersey!! Kenwright has done brilliantly bringing Moshiri in.
Everybody's poor in football ownership examples compared to citys arabs, is anybody on this forum trying to tell me Kenwright made a mistake getting Moshiri to invest in Everton!!

Not sure if it's small time, just accepted communications / media / marketing practice to place positive spin and hype stuff up.
On the other hand, we can only hype up turd. Yup, we're small time / big turd.
I'm comfortable with this.

The top managers don't worry about reputation, it's like a money merry-go-round with them, all managers expect to get sacked at some stage, to most it's been more beneficial with pay offs than staying the course, see RM, didn't do him any harm or Moyes after Man u.
Contracts with managers work eitherway with success or failure it seems.

Just spotted this. Why do you think a boss wanting to be everybodys friend means that he loses respect? In my experience the opposite is true. If staff have a perception that 'the boss' has time for everyone, there is mutual respect,which is no bad thing. Its a small credit on the 'promote Unsworth' side of the new manager discussion, but not enough for me to be convinced that Unsworth is the answer.

Hahaha just spat my beer out..You're actually Kenwright aren't you
The trouble with Kenwright, like many ex Merseyside luvvies (Tarbuck, Black and plazzy Liverpudlian Bish....) is that they have this antiquated, parodied view of ‘scousers’ being ‘salt of the earth’ ‘no nonsense’ types, who wear their hearts on their sleeves, have a rolled up copy of the eccccho in their arse pockets and will have a drink with anybody who’s ‘dead sound like’. They have a deep mistrust of anybody from outside the city, especially those that don’t talk to them on their own level ((tories). They luv their togger but have no time for players who don’t put in a shift. Get trounced if you must, but as long as you roll up your sleeves and get stuck in, they’ll luv ya. Hence the misnomers such as ‘plucky little Everton’ and ‘Everton, that’ which the media litters about us in the press.
The point I’m making is that good ol’ Bill has filled Moshiri’s head with this nonsense (wants to be his friend too) hence Moshiri’s puzzling comments on the radio about McCarthy and wanting to reward us with a stadium. Telling us what he thinks we want to hear is merely propaganda to get away with limited investment, for maximum gain. I like Unsworth and I wish him the best, however, in footballing terms, he’s bargain basement working with a group of individuals who were either free (youngsters), existing e.g. Jagielka or cost next to nothing in current footballing terms (the lot in the summer). But as long as everybody is seen to ‘die for the club’, that’s okay, then.
Talk about hoodwinking and condescension: and that’s from our own board!
It’s this about Kenwright that irks.
