We can't afford anymore failures or what ifsI've not said I want Howe as manager mate!
But anyway what has Lampard done exactly? Nothing really. He's just a big name. Is he any better than Howe? Still to be seen. Likewise Arteta.
"Proven winners" are unlikely to come to us IMO. Conte especially not. I'd be massively surprised if we could attract someone of his calibre but we can hope.
But if managers didn't get chances at bigger clubs after doing well at smaller clubs then no future managers would develop. Pochettino from Southampton and Espanol for example. Benitez before he got the Valencia job. Klopp before the Dortmund job. Many many more examples. They weren't "proven winners" when they got their breaks at a big club.
I'd like us to peruse Jose Mourinho. We've got nothing to lose, now is the time Everton. If we've got real ambitions at this club we need to go for it. Even if he knocks us back we'd get our name out there and maybe peak the interest of managers who aren't as good as Jose but still better then we could currently attract. Over to the club now, time to show everyone the level of your ambition Everton.
Well any appointment is a what if. Even Mourinho or WengerWe can't afford anymore failures or what ifs
He's a proven winner. Which is more then you can say for anyone who's managed Everton in the last thirty years apart from Royle and Kendall. It's almost 100% certain that he'd knock us back anyway. I just thinking would be good for the club to even be linked with him.It is a certainly that Mourinho would underperform even Silva. He has demonstrably lost the plot.
That would be like getting engine troubles, and replacing your car with a horse-and-buggy instead.
Why is every 'who should we get next' thread full of shouts for Eddie Howe, managers that have been sacked from clubs in the relegation zone and former Everyone players?
I like to think we'd look beyond the Premier League or an ex player, to maybe try something different.
Wenger, simple as that, I wanted us to go for him in the summer and we didn't, but I haven't changed my mind I still want him, he'd command respect in the dressing room and would bring some stability to the club until he decides to retire, if Usmonov comes on board then I can see this happen.I see no stand out candidate - and I don’t want Mourinho. Are we down to Eddie Howe and Mikel Arteta?
Hopefully Brands is the man for that.
