Who's next after Benitez - Poll reset 25th Jan

[Bluerover]

Despite a bright start to the season, in which the Blues took 13 points from a possible 18

But it's Benitez's fault the players downed tools I guess.

Just like Carlo before him.

Everton merry go round

It is completely unacceptable to "down tools" for this club. Plus the salaries they are on are sickening.

Everton merry go round

All of our appointments have had a honeymoon, then they try to change the structure and cooperation wanes.
it’s a pattern.

Why would you support a fella who wants to change things when YOUR job is secure no matter what happens?

Moyes at WH? admit didn’t work today

Purple patch. They will settle down in mid table where they belong given time

 

[LinekersLegs]

Whoever the next manager is, they’ve got to do two things in my opinion:

Firstly, they’ve got to establish a standard and then make sure anyone who doesn’t (or can’t) keep up to it doesn’t start games. No one has a place because of who they are, on the staff or the team.

Secondly, they’ve got to believe in getting results rather than styles of play. Anyone whose ego prevents them from doing what is needed to win, or at least play at our best, should not be considered.

This is why I think it cannot be Martinez.

I still have some fond memories of Martinez and, although I generally think it a mistake to go back to relationships, there are circumstances where I think his return could potentially work.

Halfway through a season on 19 points, an already divided fanbase, an abysmal defense setup, no money to spend and having sold two players in the squad he might have got a tune from are about as far from those circumstances as I can imagine!

Kovac wouldn’t come here with how many voices he’ll have to deal with in the background.

 

[Duncan Donuts]

Only one man for the job.

Farhad should take the DOF role. He’s got the contacts.

Ferguson 1st team manager.

What if a player refused to play the way the manager demanded?

 

[irishtony1878]

Would Moyes come back please.

 

[Kev The Rat]

So we’re buying Brown Shoes out of his Belgium contract, to give him a multi year deal at Everton.

Unbelievable

Potter - won't come unless it's in the summer.

Dunc - can take the Villa game but ultimately we give him it until the end of the season or he needs to move on from Everton because career wise being the man next to 5 failed managers isn't a good look to it

Garcia - untested in the league, country and his CV isn't too hot.

Jose - 5 years ago YES ALL DAY, today not so much plus he would need a shedloads of money.

Rooney - it's just too soon for him and too much of a gamble on a very inexperienced manager.

Lampard - did well at Derby and well at Chelsea but that wasn't until he started to spend money like Little Fat Frank in the sweet shop.

Martinez - if it's interim until the end of the season, possibly but he wants to come back permanently but we paid him £10m to F Off so I doubt Moshiri will be a fan.

For me, I want stability and reliability quickly so Duncan for Villa, get that bounce back appeal and hopefully 3 points in the meanwhile we have drawn up a Manager list plus Director of Football list.

My pick if we can't get Potter,

Nico Kovac - ex Bayern, Monaco and Croatia manager

Double winner at Bayern, took a struggling Monaco from relegation battle to 3rd and won the German Cup with Eintracht Frankfurt.

Left Monaco despite them being 6th so he is free and available now

On his style of play: "Every coach has his own philosophy, his own way of thinking about football. At Frankfurt, at Bayern, it was different. I have to find the best system and the best tactics for this team. That said, I like intense football. To play with intensity, you have to work hard physically and be in top form. To be at the top tactically and technically, you have to be in good shape. Our first official match is in August so we have time. We'll do our best. When you change clubs, you have to have an overview to decide on the system. It's not easy to define our style but we can play with a four- or five-man defence. Every coach has two or three possible systems. We will see."

On the youngsters: "The important thing is to have a good mix but what matters to me is their level. I'm convinced we'll be able to bring young players back into the first team. We believe in giving opportunities to young players. Young players put pressure on the old ones."

A very very good coach.

Re Lampard - bit harsh IMO. He got them CL footy in a season they had a transfer ban. Also those players he signed went on to win them the CL and got to an FA cup final

Pay as you play should of been the only way to pay our players... Anyone who underperforms has to clean the bogs and wipe the tables the next day.

Mental people want Bobby Brown shoes.
