New Everton Manager

[jamieni]

Moyes would have been mad to come back here.

I think so too. I would have taken him in the immediate aftermath of Ancelotti leaving but it probably wouldn’t work out for him here again. Plus he has momentum with West Ham now and is rebuilding his reputation. Taking the Everton job where he could get sacked after a bad season would have been a hiding to nothing for him.

I think this is an interesting appointment.
I hope there is a fly on the wall documentary done of it

It is different, stripping away the above issues.

Why?

 

[Jim Hopper]

Does he apologise for the small club comment or does he try to spin it? Or both?

Get your bets in

I think if he wants support from the start (which is a long shot) he could start with an apology and a message to the fans in general. Our fans seem to lap things up quite easily whenever a manager praises us.

 

[MrGrumpy]

Regardless of the era he does have the credentials and as far as baggage us concerned his comment ,"small club," is on the same insult level as our claim to be "the people's club,,"

Who do u support?

 

[larrygobfiend]

Would you take Klopp as our new manager?

Who do u support?

What a stupid question

Judging any club by its "size" is knobhead behavior anyway for me. Proper horrible elitist stuff.

I would like to think that every manager on earth wants to succeed.

Agree wholeheartedly mate, which is why im baffled by the offence a lot of the fanbase have with his comment many many moons ago.

You'd think that mate - but i honestly dont think Ancelotti did, i think he was happy picking up his £11m a year knowing the fans would never turn on him and the board unlikely to sack him, there is no motivation to succeed there. Regardless of what he done at Everton he was still Carlo Ancelotti, the fact he crumbled and got us 10th despite being 2nd place on Boxing Day didnt put Real Madrid off did it? Because its Carlo Ancelotti.

All he has to say is "I was frustrated because we couldn't beat Everton at home due to how defensively sound they were and I made a snide comment due to my frustration. Obviously it was wrong to do that and I apologise. Ultimately, if I thought Everton were a small club then I wouldn't be managing them. I want to move on from that and show the Evertonians how dedicated I am to this job and how much I respect this great club"

Surely even he can make that sound genuine?

Why are you so hung up on the small club comment? Who cares? We're shabite - he called it how he seen it. It is what it is.

blood hell you convinced me!, you free to do the next government announcement on how the UK economy is going to bounce back from the Covid pandemic?

 

[jamieni]

Would you take Klopp as our new manager?

At the minute yes. But in 10 years when he’s on the wane then no.

 

[blueblue]

Eagerly awaiting the presser.
Wonder if the reporters are told what not to ask.

That would be the most stupid thing they could do.

Get all the issues out in the open now and dealt with.

That would be cool

Moyes would have been mad to come back here.

I would have been mad if he came back. Most talk about what a manager has won, Benitez won nothing in 7 years so he is a dinosaur, Potter won nothing, Howes got Bournemouth relegated, Wolves finished below us so no go Nuno then some people want Moyes back!!!!
