New Everton Manager

[Eggsyblueskin]

I’m enjoying this managerial hiatus.
As long as we exist in this leaderless period I can imagine we are working out of sight to bring in Gallardo.
That would be a brave and genuinely exciting choice.
Unfortunately when reality finally hits we will have made a mundane safety first choice as usual,

we finished 11th in both seasons and went deep into cup comps. He had very little money, in 1 of those seasons we scored near on 60 league goals.

Now the much loved Carlo had us finish 10th, with no cup runs with big money signings and scoring 48 goals.

i know which one was eye piss.. and it wasn't Roberto's team

47 points twice in a row......shocking

The transfer plan will be the same as it has been for the last 2 windows, get a RB in, improve the midfield if possible and get a back up striker in for DCL.

Brands can do that in the absence of a manager, you’d have thought.

I get that Carlo left abruptly, but with the window open and Euro 2020 starting we should be working promptly, something which we don’t usually do with anything. I think it was only recently we actually brought a kit out for fans to buy, prior to the season finishing, as other clubs have done for years.

As I said, I hope I’m wrong and we bring in the right person soon, however, this smacks of same old Everton which is why I have reservations.

Surely a winger with pace too? We literally have no genuine wide options beyond Richy who is better as a forward.

Bob had lost it altogether, it got to the point where I was as worried about conceding a corner as a penalty.

and how many points should Everton have gotten? are we making out we had a stellar squad that should have finished top 6 both seasons?

On the plus side Chelsea were averaging over 2 goals a game. How we could do with a bit of that after the garbage Carlo served up.

A side good enough to win the champions league scoring 2 goals a game isn't goin to convince me he's the man .

 

[billyblue80]

Still 100% think it will be Nuno

Agree I can't see past him getting it

 

[MikeH72]

sums most Everton fans up i'm afraid. Worship a striker who had 1 in 4 record because he elbowed and gripped a few people and had a tatoo.. when in reality he was a bang average striker.

Much the same with coaches too. Potter? MArtinez?

nah... they like to pass to much

Think it’s more the fact they like to lose too much.

maybe we should stop comparing a young manager at the start of his career with one of Europes elite coaches?

so a cup run means if you get to the semi but q/f is disregarded?

Hmm I feel some have very short memories.
The football was garbage and getting worse in his last season and not much different to the garbage we’ve just witnessed last season.

There is nothing to suggest he’d be any better a second time around.
He also talked more garbage than any Everton manager in history, lauding Tom Cleverley and Aidan McGeady as superstars being particularly memorable.

I wanted him to succeed I really did, but in the end he became a joke figure, churning out words without meaning and talking in riddles.

In his last season we were shocking at home too, remember?

I’ve absolutely no idea why anybody would try and make case for him, but each to their own.

we lost the same amount of league games last season as Martinez's last season

And? I thought last season was horrific.

On MOTD Euro build up last night Micah Richards was talking about Mancini and basically said they spend weeks working on 'shape'. Making sure they were great defensively, really hard to break down but setup to allow them to attack better. He said it was tiring and boring but it worked and they didn't move onto attacking stuff until their 'shape' was right.

I think that's something Carlo did, especially with our setups away. He recognised that the players at his disposal the majority of them couldn't do what he wanted them to do so had to work on fundamental stuff. The home form issues aside that was clearly working when away from home.


That's something the next manager is going to have to do because our players are so naff and one dimensional.

If you mean with shape, playing standing, low energy football, i must agree he got it totally right! To keep the shape standing and walking is much easier.

And? I thought last season was horrific.

it was. The great Carlo Ancelloti served up a worse season after being given big funds than Roberto Martinez.

People were distraught when he went to Madrid, but Martinez was actively chased out of this club
