MachoFantastico Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I'd take Dyche over Bielsa. He might not keep them up this season but he could bring them back up. As for Bielsa, I think he's massively overrated and you want someone in whose going to stay for the long run (the good and the bad) Bielsa isn't that guy.

Dyche comes straight back up if they go down. Cant see it happening. Dyche is a good defensive manager. Just a shame we never played them again unde rlamps.

Southampton and Bournemouth The other will be either everton forest leeds I think west ham will turn it around very shortly. Dont think leicester will go down either they have too many good players Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Segundo Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Everton are a club crying out for an experienced competent Chief Exec and/or Director of Football. Their shortlist of managers is about as unimaginative and short sighted as it gets, and they keep making the same mistakes with managers and players. Bielsa, who was on the way to taking Leeds down with his kamikaze approach, Hasenhuttl, who was on the way to taking Southamption down this season, and Dyche who was on the way to taking Burnley down when he was sacked. Talk about uninspiring, and all with different approaches too. Similar to us a few years ago, there's no sign of an overall plan, project or philosophy. They need a bit of what the likes of Brighton are doing, identifying players and managers that will work for them in the longer term or have a lot of upside if they move on. I suppose trying to get someone like De Zerbi would be too much of a gamble for them given the shit they are in, and maybe Dyche would be a good stop-gap to keep them up. But they really need to sort themselves out at Board level before they can get any better. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lochheads twin Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Back to the “dogs of war” style at Goodson but it will give them a fighting chance. Dyche will get them organised and not accept any lack of effort. None of the clubs at the foot of the table are adrift so it will be a real scrap down there. Thank goodness we have added that big bag of points recently! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VillaChris Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 They could've appointed Dyche months ago. Quite an easy hire so I get the feeling he was 5th-6th choice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HanoiVillan Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 I wonder if he might, in time, surprise people a little in terms of playing style. I don't think he's militantly obsessive about defensive football, just that he (probably correctly) thought it was the percentage choice for a club with massively lower resources than its rivals. Anyway, for now the situation kind of necessitates the backs-against-the-wall-lads stuff. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BleedClaretAndBlue Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Everton are lucky they havent been cut adrift. They’ve been dogsquirt all season really; Lost to all their rivals in recent weeks (Bournemouth, Wolves, Soton & West Ham) yet are only 1 win away from safety. It just shows how awful you have to be to actually go down. Ive seen many people compare them to our doomed season, but we were rock bottom and well adrift pretty much the whole season with no chance, we’d accepted our fate months before it was official. They at least have a fighting chance to avoid it now, but I really hope they dont seize it; its their time now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YLN Posted January 27, 2023 Share Posted January 27, 2023 Imagine if Everton sacked Lampard earlier and hired Emery and we hired Dyche. I don’t care how surprised people might be by his style of play, he hasn't won nearly enough europa leagues. I'd be sick with jealousy. Poor Everton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My point was consistently that all we needed was to go on a run of actual form and we might be safe. Like a four game winning run like how teams do when they get a new manager. Unfortunately all our new managers were absolutely dreadful and the players were a toxic bunch of words removed, so it didn't happen. But it could have. If things were different. And just because it didn't doesn't mean I'm wrong. So i think I'm owed an apology Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
