The Everton Way, What fans want and He gets the club

[MrGrumpy]

Tell us who fits this and I am all in.

That’s a very very good question, right now we are highly unlikely to get any top top manager, I’d say any of the top 20, so my guess would be to take a punt on a young manager and hope he can do it. Who that is I don’t know

We only have this Everton way because the players haven’t been good enough to play anything else so we keep reverting back to this direct approach.

Change the players, change the style of football. We keep buying the same type of players though. Gutless and lacking in technique.

DCL is a much better player then a target man, he can pass, he has pace and he can finish

The Everton way hasn't existed for about 30 years really and it was simple back then nothing but the best is good enough. The last 3 decades have been a decline to mediocrity acceptance or punching above your weight and put in a good fight along the way.

So this week we heard a lot from players and the current Manager as well as talking about it on here. My questions are simple.

What is The Everton way?
What do fans want? In terms of play style?
He gets the Club. Is this important?

Tbh I have no idea what The Everton way is, it use to be playing great football and excepting to win matches and trophies. Now it seems it’s Punt it to the big man.

I want a team that plays a good attacking style of football similar to the our neighbors, a 433 style game with pressing and passing and non of this lob it 40 yards to the striker every time anyone touches it

He gets the club.. seems like a load of hog wash to me, I want a manager that knows how to win and makes us win wether he an Evertonian or not is irrelevant I just want to see a winning team with a winning manager.

What do you guys think?

Good post and I alluded to this in a post on another thread... The footballing world see us as the `dogs of war` with a playing style of being direct and working hard, this is mainly what we have seen since the 90s out of necessityeven in the Moyes days.

What happened to `the school of science` and the great passing teams of our successful years.

I believe the new manager should be more akin to winning games of football, that might be ugly sometimes and sometimes playing the other team off the park.
What really irks me is these managers that come in and purposefully allow the opposition to have the ball so we can counter, that just isn`t the way forward. Can you imagine the top teams doing that? We need to aspire to be like them and not some idea of success from an era we weren`t successful in....

I seriously question the technique of

Coleman Keane Holgate Godfrey Doucoure. Even Richy and Dom’s first touches aren’t great.

Get all of these in the one team and we struggle to keep the ball. Sadly the players who can look after the ball are so slow and weak that they can’t play much either.

We just need better players or we won’t be progressing out of mid table any time soon.

Arsenal are worse now than 10 years ago

Yes. I was referring to the Wenger years in Arsenal's case.

You can't move forward by looking backwards. Whatever 'our way' is/was is obviously not the blueprint for the future. We need a visionaries running our club, starting right from the top all the way down to the tea lady.

"Nothing but the best is good enough"

Its very simple and what we will have to return to if we are going to survive, never mind be a success. No more hiring people because of who their mates are, or how many games they played for us. No more sticking to styles of play or tactics that don't work. No more pretending that the club or the fan-base need "heroes" of the past or to hear about "the Everton way"; they just want to see the team win football matches.

Every great side we've ever had has been great because they worked hard, they were well-led and the people behind the scenes knew what they were doing.
