Succession Planning - Managerial Wishlist

[sdk]

The good people of GOT will welcome Moyes's successor with the admission that the rebuild necessary to restore past glories will take a fair bit of time, and then call for his head six weeks later.

Whoever he is, he only plays his favorites, hates the youth, and is too stubborn and/or arrogant to change, which will be maddening, because we'll all be able to see exactly what's needed to ensure success. Onwards and sidewards to our melancholic future.

Everton would never have the stones to go for this. Imagine someone rocked the little cosy stable boat of Everton by actually winning something…

Just waiting for the shouts of "he's too volatile, he'd never come," etc.

The very fact that we don't even consider moves like this tells you why we are comfortably irrelevant. The club has the money to attract a high-calibre manager. What it doesn't have are the vision and the will. We are shameless enough to write about being "happily dissatisfied" with mid-table mediocrity and the 2005 Manager of the Year and wonder why we always fall short. We love to point to past glories - this being the latest example - whilst doing absolutely nothing to create new ones. We may have moved from Goodison, but Everton is still a museum steeped in self-serving sentimental snake oil.

Jobs for the boys - except good ones who might drive us on.

Hopefully Summerville please.

And where would we play him ???

I'd add Conte to the list if he's leaving Napoli. He's trash in Europe but domestically he's one of the best managers in the world.

He'd probably break a few of them though.

Trash in Europe, you say? He'll be perfect for us.

Good. Some of them have had it too good for too long now.

I would spend the money on Summerville rather than Grealish. Grealish is a short term fix.

 

[Brisan123]

Moyes is staying so Grealish will sign and I’ve a feeling if Chelsea drop their price a bit we will be signing George as his understudy/ eventual replacement, so no point in signing Summerville
I would sign Bowen over Summerville if I had to but I’d rather we sign neither , but it’s Moyes call

It’s not 2003 anymore, despite what Moyes would have you believe. You can’t get by using 14 outfield players over the course of a season anymore, opposition managers are building game plans around making triple subs at certain times of the game, utilising a squad over a season to keep players fresh and ensure the quality drop off from the starting XI to the subs isn’t absolutely enormous. This is why we’ve conceded so many late goals in the final part of the season, because the opposition have half a fresh XI on the pitch while our starters who have been flogged for 100 minutes every week are absolutely gassed.

Tl;dr: Summerville would get plenty of game time in a properly functioning modern football club.

I'd be underwhelmed by both those signings.
And Bowen is gone.
Summerville blows hot and cold.

If that's the extent of our ambition we need to fold as an organisation right now and stop torturing people.

Villa apparently want Grealish back and can offer CL football. Will be interesting too see what plays out.

This Feller Iraola - remember that he'd come willingly to manage this club and we're stuck with Moyes.

Can we not just make a rumour that we have contacted him, and that gets back to Moyes and he resigns with a cob on!

Win Win

No no no no no..... None of that pacy attacking young footballers here.

We want age and experience, sit back and wait.

 

[blulouie]

For those that want Moyes to stay on and worry if he does without getting a new contract there'd be uncertainty and rock the stability boat.
Just take a look at Bournemouth who have sold all their best players and have a manager that has told the world he's leaving as soon as the season is done.

Thats a club full of uncertainty & no stabilty.
Hate to be like that.
