New Everton Manager

[billyblue80]

Brought them a couple of European cups, a couple of UEFA cups and a shed load of domestic trophies hasn't it... Leicester are another club who follow that path as well that are having the most successful period of their existence. Could well be better than having a philosophy and making every decision guided by that.

Maybe difference is with Chelsea they have gone full on with the spending and assembled a world class squad regardless of who the coach is they will always be there or there about. We have wasted our money then reigned it in. Our squad is a imbalanced mess. As for Leicester their recruitment is superb and they reinvest their sales very shrewdly.I'd also argue Leicester do have an identity that transcends the coach they go for mobile attacking players with sell on value on the way up.It's all very well planned. Compare and contrast that with our dysfunctional and confused recruitment.

Got to say I’m massively unenthusiastic and underwhelmed about Benitez (if he is which is looking more and more likely) being appointed. Nothing surprises me about what decisions our club makes anymore and it comes to the point where you have to laugh about it our you would have a serious breakdown and when it comes to how other clubs see us we seem to be a club that seems to keep on giving when it comes to giving others ammunition to take the mick

What types of formation does this bozo play? He ever go two up top?

Think that's the only formation he never goes with. Variations of 451, 4231, 433, 4411 etc at various times in the past, then 343 with Newcastle playing counter-attack.

Silva 100% was a Moshiri manager. Carlo was 100% a Moshiri and Usmanov manager. Benitez is 98% a Moshiri/Usmanov manager.

Brands came here and said "I want an attacking playing style" blahblah. He's not choosing Benitez in the slightest.

And I'm PRETTY sure I could tell you what Brands DOESN'T do but that's a different thread.

It's be a short thread!

What does Brands do?

Nothing.

The end.

 

[hktoffee]

Alot of talk on twitter justifying his appointment by saying he is a safe pair of hands who will build us and keep us mid table until BMD. But he is short term and will last eighteen months if he is very lucky and results are good. If not he could be gone in six months.

Also why him if we want that? We could have got a younger man with a vision to rebuild us over years. I think the opposite he has been chosen because they want instant results, the expectation of the board will be Europe and a cup run otherwise why bother with a name/cv manager? You don't appoint these people for "stable."

Martinez and Silva. Don’t work.

Spraying anything on Goodison Park is needless.

Yes of course it is, but people will still do it. I find it disappointing that 'fans' do this type of thing to our stadium, but I'd be more disappointed if our owners let themselves be bullied into not going with the Manager that they want at the Club.

 

[Rollo Tomassi]

Brands needs to get some quality players in or this could go tits up very quick

I don't see how it wont if he doesn't hit the ground running he will be out the door sharpish maybe even before the end of the season, just a huge waste of time and money.

Agreed, though think the majority of the recruitment for us is bad as we get new managers in every year that want different things, play different ways. Sure if we got someone like Rodgers in then after a couple of years our recruitment looks really good as he knows exactly what he wants and actually produces winning sides.

It’s my birthday on Wednesday and I’ve got a nice relaxing break away in the countryside planned.

Don’t you [Poor language removed] dare Everton!

 

[billyblue80]

Martinez and Silva. Don’t work.

Rogers and Poch? That's the type we need someone who can get results and build. I appreciate it's hard to find that man but Benitez is deeply uninspiring and divisive. But hey I hope he does well because I support Everton. Only plus is Moshiri is going to have to buy players to placate us.

 

[Dwight K Schrute]

Nah, it's why he always falls out because he wants to spend dough

I'll give you a scenario:

You have worked as a manager for various companies. In the past you have been very successful and driven and have always pushed the CEOs of your companies to allow you to do your best. After the peak of your career you have moved around the world taking other jobs, often still with the best intentions of succeeding, but for several years you have had to live away from your family.

Your next job is likely to be your last before retirement. You get offered a job on the doorstep of your family home on a salary that is unlikely to be matched by any other position available to you at this time. The downside is that all this company wants you to do is keep it ticking over. You know that, due to the limitations of the company, you are unlikely to achieve any of the things that you aimed for in your younger days.

Do you take the job with that in mind? For 90% plus of us the answer would be yes in that scenario. So why would it be any different for a football manager? Come on!

And I'm PRETTY sure I could tell you what Brands DOESN'T do but that's a different thread.

So Brands is a fraud for signing a new 3 yr deal and accepting those conditions?

You cant fully blame the owners and give sympathy to Brands in that scenario which is what our fanbase seem to be doing.

 

[JMT]

does he at least play the youth?????????

 

[MrGrumpy]

Who is better qualified then Denise??? she seems to be a target of blame recently or when things are not going well on the pitch.

Kenwright being chairman is just a token gesture, he will not have any real say.

I do agree that in the five years we have not progressed as expected but at least Moshiri has backed the failures of managers with hard cash.

Just a shame we never had a fraction of that cash back in 2009.

Problem people have with Denise is simply the letter she sent out before the season ended. Saying the board was happy and they always listen to fans.

3 weeks later… The fans can’t burn in hell we don’t care

 

[windymiller]

The more I think about the appointment the more Chelsea esque it seems. If we aren't around European places he will be gone within a season.. It's all short term thinking

Which would be OK if someone else was in charge of transfers (it's worked out ok for 2 time CL winners Chelsea). But we've got the worst of both worlds, a revolving door of managers who each get to choose their own players each time. Even BFS got to buy Walcott and he was only ever going to be here 5 mins.
