useless Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 If they've got the money then they will get a decent manager, Bielsa and Nuno seem to be the more high profile manager names being linked. Then there's ex players like Rooney, Ferguson, and Lee Carsley. They're only three points off fourteenth at the moment, I think people forget that the likes of Leeds, Wolves, West Ham have been in just as bad form as them or close to it for pretty much a year now, Southampton worse form, their squad isn't great, but also it isn't one one would look at and think they have no chance of surviving, a decent manager should have a chance of keeping them up. But have to get the appointment right. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewieGriffin Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Gotta be Dyche surely? Or Rooney as a left field appointment to try and appease the fans 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But have to get the appointment right. It’s not that complicated unless they make it that way. It’s Dyche’s job. Nobody else’s. Their fanbase have serious delusions of grandeur and most of their last few managers, lampard aside, have been well backed financially. The argument that “ well he almost got Burnley relegated “ is bollocks. Top 6 in the championship were spending more than Burnley FFS. What he did there was remarkable. Go back to what you are Everton, a working class, community based club. It’s when you get notions the wheels come off.

The football snobs at Everton either want to stay in the league or not. They’ve zero form with foreign coaches and now is not the time to get clever.

They're perhaps better off heading extra-terrestrial for the next coach. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Until next season when in the same mess again. We used to say similar that we can get 1 more point than Hull, Reading, Bolton etc. They need a huge cleaning job Its so bad when Pickford isnt one of your problems Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
useless Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Bielsa has already had talks about becoming their manager, whether that means he will get the job though I don't know. Would be interesting to watch if he could keep them up at the expense of Leeds. Nothing against Everton , but I wouldn't mind if they, or maybe West Ham or similar , went down, as would make it more interesting rather than the usual suspects, and would also make the Championship more interesting next season. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

useless Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Both the telegraph and the athletic now reporting Bielsa link.

OutByEaster? Posted January 23, 2023 Moderator Share Posted January 23, 2023 Surely not Bielsa? I thought he'd left Leeds to retire. He'd be the oldest manager in the league by 8 years - that's half a Kadan Young! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PieFacE Posted January 23, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2023 I feel like Bielsa would be an absolute disaster to bring in now. Maybe before the WC break would have been ideal. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OutByEaster? Posted January 23, 2023 Moderator Share Posted January 23, 2023 Rooney would seem a good shout, he's used to managing whilst up to his neck in chaos - hasn't pulled up any trees out in the states though I believe? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it’s Rooney against Dyche though - is it even a contest ? Everton could get this wrapped up very quickly and sensibly and probably stay in the league. If they fanny around and make stupid nostalgic choices like Rooney - they’ll get relegated. Simple. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WallisFrizz Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I feel like if they hired Bielsa it wouldn’t be to keep them up it would be to get them promoted again after relegation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Albrighton Posted January 23, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 23, 2023 Still no official confirmation from Everton. In fact, nothing from them on their twitter account since Saturday. Obvious theory is that Lampard is holding the bit of paper with all the club’s login details over a shredder as part of the exit negotiations. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
