The commentators had a real hard-on for him at Leeds and it got old fast. The media wankfest every time Leeds lost a game has definitely died down since he left, so yeah it'll definitely happen with Everton if he's their manager too.

OutByEaster? Posted January 26, 2023 Moderator Share Posted January 26, 2023 Realistically, I can't see why Bielsa would take it. There are two different jobs on offer - there's the firefighting job; come in and manage Everton until the summer, try and keep us up and we'll give you a pile of money - there's a chance I guess that he might take that one, but absolutely every instance where he's been a manager has come with the idea that it takes time for his ideas to be implemented and that he needs the right players to make it work - if he's only going to be manager for 19 games, he's not going to be effective - it's also not going to be the most pleasant experience. The other job, the long term rebuilding of Everton, doesn't work out for him either, on two counts. Firstly, because he's reached an age where it's not clear how long he has left as a manager. He'll be 68 this summer, does he want to spend his late 60's trying to dig Everton out of a hole? I'm sure he could find something sunnier and more fun. And secondly because Everton simply aren't stable enough to guarantee a platform for a longer period, who knows what will happen with the ownership, with the finance of a club that got a free pass with a warning for breaking FFP by a truly eye watering sum, with the status of a club in relegation trouble - I don't think Everton can offer that job in good faith right now. He's a quality manager with a real standing in the game, but I'm struggling to see a job that's more wrong for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HongKongVillan Posted January 26, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 26, 2023 There are only 5 days left in the transfer market I just can't see the current set of Everton players is suited for the Bielsa way of playing. Imagine Seamus Coleman bombing down the flanks and Calvert Lewin sprinting back to defend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe he has never taken charge of a club midseason -- because of his style, he usually goes in right at the end of a season to get the squad up to speed for the following year. --heard that on a podcast recently 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyche won't get a bigger job at the moment, Everton have a battle on their hands so will need to grind out results. Dyche does seem the best fit at the moment. Everton fans should be all over Dyche and I think he would be a very good fit. For me, he did a fine job at Burnley for many years with what is a championship sized club and very limited resources. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lochheads twin Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Anthony Gordon- “He’s one of our own”. Everything that’s wrong with modern football, demonstrated in one steaming episode! Treacherous, self-serving little tw*t! shame Big Dunc was not employed to sort him out 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Newcastle already have a fast winger with no end product in Allan Saint Maxim. Bizarre signing if it happens. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hank Scorpio Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Don't see they hype about Gordon at all. Did he have 2 good games against the sky 6 or something and get overhyped after as usual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mic09 Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Best case scenario - Bielsa takes over, they get run to the ground by his high intensity tactics, eventually get relegated and Mr Steve Bruce the promotion expert steps right up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perfect scenario, just getting the idea over in a translated form will take a week or two, then implementation, tweaking and finding who can do the job/position. They might not win another game hopefully. That would be a deserved and perfect way down for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nigel Posted January 27, 2023 VT Supporter Share Posted January 27, 2023 Tbf o could see bielsa bringing them straight back up. With a few astute buys they have a good championship side. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Fun Factory Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Biesla or Dyche? Slightly different management philosophies between the two. I think it shows they haven't a clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jareth Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Bielsa needs to consider his position very carefully - he'll become the next Steve Bruce - a true yo-yo manager. In future for teams at the bottom it'll no longer be calls to bring in Bruce or Big Sam, it'll be bring in the bucket dweller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Demitri_C Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Think dyche is a safe pair of hands to keep them up. I predicted this as soon as lamps was flopping there. Dyche wilk keep them up i think. He is experienced and can work on a small budget. Its a good fit i think. Just means more rugby football at goodison. Dont thonk the fans will like the football much 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zhan_Zhuang Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 (edited) Must admit I quite like Dyche, he's a throwback; jumpers for goalposts, chips & curry sauce etc. Everton have done well to get him, probably a year too late but surely he keeps them up now?
