Succession Planning - Managerial Wishlist

[MisterJ]

I think we should start the entire Managerial circle again.. Just do the same again (like a crap roller coaster)

- Moyes (now)
- Martinez (next)
- Koeman
- Allardyce
- Silva

Funny you should mention Silva, I see he's also out of contract at the end of the season and there has been talk of Chelsea

BTW when people talk about a generation of supporters who have never seen us win anything - that's me they're talking about. I was born 3 years after our last trophy. Best memory I have supporting Everton is being at the cup final against Chelsea and the 20 minutes we were ahead.

That's what I'm working with from a life time of being a die hard blue - 20 minutes of believing we could win a trophy. And for the vast majority of the time that I've been alive, Moyes has been our manager. Was the manager for literally my entire childhood and his football was all I knew growing up.

Really shouldn't be hard to see then why myself and many others around my age, Moyes is the definition of anti-progress. Moyes represents literally going back to square one, which i guess for some people is a comfort but for me is just depressing.

People who have had the privilege of having seen us be one of the best teams in the world and win trophies seemingly now can be happy to just see us exist and not disgrace ourselves. Our history is great but I have never experienced anything like that first hand. All I have seen is mediocrity, and the majority of that has been with Moyes in charge.

It seems like many see success as purely being a Premier League club - and an also-ran at that. I'll never understand that. If you told me now that we would spend the next 100 years in the top flight and win nothing, I'd say what's the point.

In the end, it's all about the Honours list. In all the books and magazines and sticker albums, club profiles list honours, not how many times a club was relegated - or even how many seasons they were top flight. Nobody cares Everton spent 122 seasons in the top flight. Most people wouldn't even know. It's a proud record, but it's not an honour, a title, or a trophy.

And then of course people try to make it a discussion about whether we would swap with Leicester. But that's not the point at all. It's not a choice between "doing a Leicester" and suffering relegations as a price for cup or league wins or "doing a Kenwright" and staying up as an also-ran. Why can't Everton remain a permanent fixture - which, by size of the club alone should never be in doubt if competently run - AND compete for cups, if not leagues?

It's a false comparison. Leicester is a fine club - but not in our size class. And it doesn't have our history of success. We simply replaced our birthright with Kenwright.

I wasn't comparing us to Leicester we are by far the bigger club that was my point really.

No, I know you're not. It's that others tend to when Leicester is brought up.

So we’ve had Allardyce, Benitez and Dyche.. probably played the worst football outside of Wimbledon in the history of the Prem..

But people draw the line at Moyes lifting us up the table (twice now)?

Struggling with that tbh. He hasn’t even completed a full season yet in this spell..

Genuine question, to anyone really..What have TFG done to make you believe they would appoint and back an ambitious manager?

I put Moyes and Pulis in the same sentence as them managers

 

[widnesblue]

Great shout, I've mentioned him before and hes linked with the RS so he has a good reputation in the game

Stutgart are exciting to watch. There style of football would suit what Everton fans want in a team. Would he come to Everton? No chance but we can dream. He’ll likely move on to bigger soon but he’d be my dream target long term. You’d give him money to spend and he’d turn us into a really good outfit.

That’s a great post

 

[Marcus Kendall]

Exactly. Our fans are needing some high octane football but are too worried it'll go wrong

I totally get where you’re coming from fella. I’m one of those lucky supporters who have seen us win trophies, but I feel for the younger generation of fans who have to put up with watching this turgid football dished up by Moyes for years.

I was 8 years old when we won the league in 1970 and remember some of the games vividly. Winning away at Blackpool and Stoke and seeing the late great Gordon Banks for the first time. Howard Kendall scoring after 13 seconds as we beat Chelsea 5-2 at Goodison. I was too young really to appreciate what was actually happening.

Then we had the lean years where many of us had to put up with the other crowd across the park winning everything, and believe me, that was tough.
But when the mid 1980s came around, quite unexpectedly we turned it around and them few years were magical.

I’m not in that category of fans you alluded to be happy just to see us exist.
I would love nothing more than to see you younger fans experience what I and many others were fortunate to see.
