Welcome to Everton Bruce ArenaNot in the know by any means nor will ever claim to be but was in the company of a true club legend last night at a barby and he assured me all is in hand and fans will be pleased with appointment it's definitely not a former manager wouldn't say specifically names on who it will be did say names mentioned in media are in the right area but there is a totally left field name not linked to us in media or betting markets who we are trying for, koeman was the only name we chatted about as the esk said was top target and had indicated to us early his interest only to change his mind reckons his agent had the nod over a job coming up next summer when his interest and evertons became public
Wouldn't say names and never pushed him only concrete was without naming former managers he guaranteed pretty much it's a new face mate and with him having the time to have a beer and good chat with me I respected his privacy given his status at the club at present
If we really did try for Mourinho then we should be also sounding out Allegri, Sarri, Spaletti and Garcia.
Or is it Sven?
I've been used to watching my team lose, emery has his team winning Trophies and playing champions league football, really shortsighted mate if you are actually putting emery down. Considering you also want the United reserves as squad members, kind of makes sense though
You don't want mancini. Haven't said it enough, he is a terrible manager and potentially a suicidal appointment. His main success in his career was winning the seria a after both his rivals were deducted points and relegated. And he picked their best players off that wanted to join him. Before that he was always 3rd in thst league. Then he won the league with city after an open cheque book and playing all out attacking football which noone expected (see Liverpools version to why it worked). As soon as teams found him out he struggled again.
So yeah, mancini is actually the worst manager we could appoint here, I'd happily take many others over him as he would be a massive liability. And that is from a fan who wouldn't turn his nose up any any manager who is an improvement on Martinez, I'd take Moyes back over mancini!
Of course they would think that, won their first title in 50 years was it? Hell there was still fans here still backing Martinez for finishing with 72 points!You're likely to be in a very small minority.
My City mates say exactly the opposite and they've watched City for over 40 years home and away. They reckon he's best they've had since Joe Mercer.
We need to get a move on and appoint a manager.
It's getting to be urgent.
The fume will send the fourms into melt down when we appoint Moyes, but for those next few days iam going to live in hope and enjoy the possiblity we might actually get somebody decent
