Would you want Carsley if he had no link to Everton ?
Yes and No.
Playing helps the connection to the fans plus that Derby goal.
Take that away and look at his record in management then you could overlook him but what you can't take away is how hard he has worked to become a top top coach.
When we swapped out Walter Smith for
Moyes, that was a huge call and worked out well. I think now there is more pressure but ultimately we need a modern coach.
If you look at the names we have been linked: Potter, Southgate,
Moyes and Allergi - Carsley would be behind these (even Southgate) due to his experience but I think Fans would have him as 2nd or 3rd from this list.
He is very highly regarded and he will get a good job, I believe he has turned down West Brom so he has his sights in the Premier League.
With the takeover, our owner might not have Carsley on the radar but I know Thelwell will think he is good option.
