Koeman.
If Koeman isn't going anywhere why has he not signed a new contract with Southampton?
26% you say.
Sometimes I wonder why I bother when my fellow Everton supporters have no ambition at all...

Ron & Sam together are like the footballing equivalent of MASTER/BLASTER from MAD MAX 3.

I'm sure the club were planning for the succession in the full knowledge that Mourinho was a very remote possibility anyway. Pellegrini seems to have gone off the radar, so on the face of things it seems it's either Koeman or De Boer.
Would prefer Koeman in that scenario due to his experience. De Boer announcing he was going to Valencia or elsewhere next week would really set the cat amongst the pigeons, and increase the pressure on Moshiri to get Koeman IMO as his preferred option. AC Milan now likely to be looking for a new coach too (Rudi Garcia now being linked there).
If there is a "3rd" option (discounting Pellegrini) being considered would obviously love to know who that is. I would imagine now that things have crystallised as far as the boards thinking is concerned and a lot of names have been ruled out. They must be down to the final 2-4 candidates you would hope. Perhaps Esk will have an update by next weekend.
The unknown is intriguing and exciting - particularly the prospect of someone making a late challenge to get the job who wouldn't have been touted initially (aside from the likes of O'Neill, Hughes, Howe and their ilk). I hope the search firm have earned the money being paid to them, I wouldn't think much of them if they presented a list of possibilities without Unai Emery on it.
Hope that things get sorted in the next fortnight. There is a lot of work to be done.

Not good enough for some

1500 votes. So it's fair he's included. Saying that, I wish we could have it out right now, 'cause I want to hear the justifications.

Why on earth is David Moyes an option in the poll and Sevilla manager Unai Emery is not, when the Times journo Rory Smith has reported that Emery would be willing to talk to us about the job?
I don't want Moyes back but if it were between the four candidates listed above and the job was a manager rather than a head coach then he'd be the best candidate.
He's the only one who has performed this role. Everyone else has been a head coach within an infrastructure rather than driving 150 miles to scout left backs from Bristol City on a Tuesday night.
My first choice remains Emery but I'd definately have Moyes back in a director of football role, though I'm sure he wouldn't take it.
Agreed - not many options there and he should not be an option - Moyes that is - would prefer Emery over all 4 of them.

If he's not good enough, how come de Boer is for some?
He has achieved nothing of note. 4 league titles yes - in the Eredivisie which is roughly equivalent to the Championship (I'd argue the Championship is more competitive).
If de Boer was an English manager who had won the Championship with a few teams a few times in his career, any suggestions for him would be laughed off.
