Is now the opportunity? Should Everton go for Iraola?

[COYB75]

He lost his entire defence and goalie last summer and lost his best player this past January window. Moyes would be whinging about that continuously
He also has a go at every opponent. He would be an upgrade in many ways on Moyes

Would love to see what would happen if every team in the league lost their starting back line. Even the likes of City and Arsenal would have serious issues. He’s done an amazing job in the circumstances.

He didn't need to as its incredibly obvious

New stadium yes very obvious - wise after the event imo

I think we are better off sticking with the young go-getter of a manager we already have.

Dithering Dave - you can't even call him a Ginger Numpty anymore as he is going grey - just get rid please....

We could at least approached him at the time I posted & started this thread as he was a free agent .....

The RS did this when they got Klopp. Can’t stand them but they are braver than us when it comes to making big decisions.

Not quite the same. Klopp had managed an elite team to win the Bundesliga. Iraola has never managed an elite team before, he's definitely a bigger risk.

Klopp's hiring wasn't a brave decision. It was an absolute no-brainer, similar to their signing of Luis Suarez from Ajax (who, hilariously, was a third the price they paid the same week for Andy Carroll). Iraola is a brave appointment. He's won a Cypriot Super Cup. He may be an inspired choice, but he's very much a risky one.

We, meanwhile, are chronically risk-averse, from our appointments to our team selections. We get what we deserve. No risk, no gain.

He could be the new Mike walker. Hope so

Saw a stat about him before...

37% win rate at Bournemouth. Only playing one game a year and he is now favourite for the RS...3 games a week and increased pressure.

A manager like that coming to Everton would actually be a step up in pressure. He won't have the European adventure next year but he would certainly have increased pressure managing us.

….thought you didn’t like ‘hoofball’, I notice Bournemouth played more long ball football than Everton in the season just gone

He was never coming here Joey,neither would Glasner,we have to be realistic about the standard of manager we can attract.

Maybe we did approach him...

The news would have been all over it mate ....
