Alright, here we go then.
I think we should have sacked Dyche weeks ago and appointed Conceicao (then unattached) or Corberon (cheap release clause) but we missed out.
Now, I'd have a look at Iraola or Knutsen.
We've got 19 games left and a transfer window to operate in. I refuse to believe this is purely a fire fighting role. It's not 8 games of the season left and we're in the bottom three. There's an opportunity here to do something longer term but we won't. Because we're Everton. The league's meme club.
Thankyou for sharing.
I get where you're coming from, and I agree there was a window where going for someone like Conceição or Corberán could have made sense if they wanted to manage us. But now that we're in a relegation battle—I think we need a manager who knows how to steady the ship immediately.
Moyes might not be the most exciting name, but he has a proven track record of getting the best out of limited squads and organizing a team to fight for every point.
Iraola is an intriguing option, and while he's had some experience in the Premier League, he hasn't faced the same kind of pressure as a relegation fight with a squad like ours. As for Knutsen, his success has been impressive, but transitioning from managing in Norway to the Premier League mid-season, in a scrap like this, is a huge gamble.. This isn't just about long-term planning; it's about survival first, and
Moyes has the experience for exactly that. Once we're safe, then we can talk about building for the future. For now, we need a manager who knows what it takes to dig in and deliver results in the short term.
Everton may feel like a meme club sometimes, but the right choice now could set us up to avoid being in this situation again. Moyes might not be the glamorous pick, but he might just be the practical one we need.
