Everton's Managerial Options

[ClausThomsen]

Great job looking past the liverpool connection

So basically it's "Give me one good reason....but not that very good reason."

Dyche has European footy to look forward to.

...very surprised the Porto Manager, Sergio Conceicao isn’t included in the summary shortlist given the rumours linking him to the job and that he is one of the favourites at 10-1. Dyche is 25-1, Benitez 33-1 and Wagner 40-1.

I’d be very interested in what folk much more knowledgable than me think of Conceicao, I looked at his record on Wiko and it doesn’t look as impressive as the lad at Fulham.

Breaking records at Porto.

No mention of Rodgers ? ...........I'm running ......

For the sake of fairness, I had to say Allardyce. He is the current manager.

Look past the liverpool connection for just a second and give me an argument against Benitez...

It hurts me to even suggest him but you can't deny his achievements. He's the 1st/2nd most successful on the list with Wenger

Inter Milan.

Sack Allardyce with the cash saved from employing an out of contract manager like Silva, sell Koeman's garbage to buy a capable player or three player.

That has to be our way forward.

We need to remember we've gone backwards as a club and have little going for us beyond the ability to pay a hefty managerial wage and solid PL wages for players. We have no draw for any manager who is a proven winner, that is for sure. A solid season playing decent football and finishing top 8 would be a good target to set.

I'd go for Silva or Fonseca or a similar manager with huge upside...prefer we go for someone who can build a legacy with us rather than someone whose forever known as another teams former manager...e.g Wenger/Arsenal etc

On paper not incredible but the work he did at Nantes, under a notorious chairman, was extremely good and wrestling the Portuguese title away from Benfica who have won it 4 times on the bounce is notable. That said it's not like Porto haven't won the title quite a few times before that.

Edit - I reckon he'd be a potentially better choice than Silva who hasn't impressed me in the PL so far.

Sergio has done very well in his last 2 jobs.

However I disagree with the Silva negativity...he did very well with what he had at Hull...

At Watford they were pushing top 4-6 before we tapped him up...

 

[Huyton Layne]

Benitez has a fantastic win ratio with a mediocre squad. He's fat so it's not too much of a departure from the last two we've had and is already disliked by most of the fans so there's no worry about them eventually turning on him.

Still maintain/hope it's Silva.

Breaking records at Porto.

..yep, it’s his record prior to that which looks underwhelming. I’d like somebody who developed rather than inherited a team. You know more than me whether that’s the case with this lad.

The Fulham manager appears to have a more impressive CV but I suppose the doubts with him are that he doesn’t seem to stay anywhere long and has managed at a lower level. I don’t know.

With a bullet proof buy out deal, I would suspend my misgivings. He downed tools when an upper mid table club batted their eye lids at him, dont forget.

Was fine at nantes with a trigger happy chairman...

I just want someone who can build something...a manager who can make his name with us. I really wouldn't want someone like wenger whose known as Arsenal...or Dyche from Burnley.

Think we will go Portuguese which means Sergio, Paulo or Marco...

It being Watford completely mitigates that for me mate.

If a club deserves no loyalty from their manager - it's them. They sacked him with the club in the top 10 with what would have been their best ever finish.

On the face of it, Silva's sacking could still be seen as controversial. After all, Watford remain in the top half of the Premier League table - a position that, if maintained, would represent the club's best league finish in over 30 years and the third best in their entire history

The contract they gave him allowed them to sack him with no pay off at the end of the season.

Fair enough. Didnt know that.

Viva Silva then.

...i’m not defending him and you might be right, but nobody truly knows what happened behind the scenes at Watford. They are a club renowned for regularly changing managers, so the lure of a potentially more permanent deal with the prospect of having money to spend and building his own team must have been a lure. Make no mistake, Everton are still an attractive proposition.

I admit that Wagner and Silva are both quite handsome and would escape abuse on here related to their appearances. Beyond that I don't know what would be a good reason for hiring either, other than a change for the sake of it. Unless Moshiri has a surprise up his sleeve, Sam staying is getting less and less of a worse case. The first two start from scratch, Sam develops from what he has learned of the current squad and improves it (a bit). I really don't know, stick or twist.

True. Like I said to the Boss ^^^^, have no idea about the internal workings at Watford, and he makes a good point that his contract seemed to be very geared towards the club.
