Everton opinion: Just give it Big Dunc 'til the end of the season
Everton have a rare chance to take their time and get the next managerial appointment right. They have to take it.

Thankfully that ridiculous idea will be ignored as we go into interviewing for ACTUAL managers in the next fortnight.Don't know if this has already been posted...

I think he didnt get it last time, only because an Ancelotti-type turned up
Are you confident someone of a similar pedigree will come and save your blushes this time, Dave?
If not, he's odds on to get it until the end of the season if he does ok in the Villa game
Could work but the two up top would have to be very aggressive tracking back for the entire game - at least taking turns. Whoever is wide needs to tuck right in out of possession as well.
His substitution of Kean last time shows how much he values tracking back and putting numbers in midfield out of possession.
Decent read, that.Don't know if this has already been posted...

The best-case for us is for Ferguson to do pretty well, and buy us enough time to make a sane decision.
Quite who at Everton will make that sane decision, I don't know. I'd like it to be a carefully-selected and fully-empowered Director of Football in the summer.
But that in itself requires a sane decision to be made in the selection and empowerment of that person.
The chances of such a sequence of events emerging from the chaotic primordial ooze that is Everton seem slim.

He likes martinez and Benitez, his opinion should be invalid
If this team show up on Saturday and preform at the level that will all expect from them ,we win that game I don’t see how anyone else beside Dunc can take over ,he will be in that case our manager until end of the season , if we lose on Saturday and team continuing with poor performance club will announce our new manager during the break ,on the other side if Dunc do well I would and we managed to finish between top 10 teams I would not be surprised if he stayed with permanent role next season

I like Ferguson, but in that sentimental Everton way it shouldn't come into it.
I was impressed with how he carried himself in his last stint as caretaker, he spoke with thoughtfulness and maturity. He represented the club in the manner I want it to be represented by the manager in dealings with the media and others.
I have no doubt he understands the anger and passion of the fans.
On the other hand, he has been associated with a succession of failed regimes now. He can't carry the can for that but at any point did he not consider it best to separate himself from this and try to develop a coaching/management career on his own initiative? Like getting jobs and succeeding at them by his own merit? Doing the normal progression through the leagues. Then being a contender for the job here by his own record.
As much as he brings a sense of passion and fist-pumping which we badly need, this comfort zone that he inhabits does not sit well with me. If he is not a contender for the job this time around, then it's becoming incredulous that he stays on yet again under another manager. If he was happy to stay on, then I think it proves a point. There is a huge difference between a temporary caretaker role and the white heat of the managers seat in a permanent role, not that that means anything for this club.
All that said, I will be willing him and the team on this Saturday and every other game with all I've got. I don't think I've enjoyed and felt as good after a game as I did for the Chelsea game since Martinez' first season. Give us some more of that and he can hold his head high.
