Here's one to ponder. Stemming from the discussion in the Moyes thread about what might have been if we'd kept Silva, it set me thinking about what a daunting job managing EFC must be.
I've seen debates for bright young things; outrage at Managers for being unconcerned about x,y,z; for being out dated dinosaurs; praise for innovation; opprobrium for not getting the fans; complaints over being nice but naive; debates over being too positive or not being realistic enough; bemoaned for being too negative; irritation for being a front man for the club and not challenging the boatd; for having to front up for the club in ansentia etc etc.
Everton are unmistakable a huge club with a demanding fan base who'll let you know exactly what they think, which can spin in a dime. Tough job no?
Personally I lean towards a more experienced head with a track record. Bar a generational talent I think the job is too big for bright young things. You need a set of stones and the nous to deal with the flak when things aren't going so well.
So what skills does your perfect Everton manager need?
