Everton Looking For Their Sixth Manager In Five Years

With Ancelotti departing, thats five permanent appointments all gone since 2016; Martinez, Koeman, Allardyce, and Silva all proceeding him. Now they will be on the look out for the sixth permanent appointment in the time that we have crazily had seven.

It must be galling for the owner having chased down other peoples managers to now see one walk out after investing heavily in the team.

Let’s hope that it is not so unsettling that some Everton players do not start agitating for a move away.

At least all this turmoil is after the end of the season. Get the appointment right and hang on to their top players, and i think they will be able to maintain this years finish in 2021/22

 

Tap up Xisco?

 

It would be that much more funny if he’d taken them slightly higher than tenth place.

 

Weren't they doing well until some midfielder called Doucoure got injured? Might be worth a punt on him, whoever he is....

 

SNAKE!

 

"There must be a measure of sympathy for Everton's board because this is a move that came out of nowhere and only shortly after Ancelotti seemed to publicly suggest his time at Real was firmly in his past.

Everton's moves in the managerial and playing markets have left them open to criticism in the past but it is hard to pin blame on them for this. They will have been left as shell-shocked as their supporters by this sudden, unexpected twist."

This made me laugh reading McNulty's article on the BBC website this morning. There is no measure of sympathy, it is karma pure and simple. Poor poor Everton, how could this happen to them? It should be happening more to clubs 'like Watford' they deserve it, not the big boys!

 

Hahahaahahahahaha

 

Who cares.

 

Can't work out whether this genuine or someone having a laugh.

 

He would not go there, he has too much integrity!

 

Saint Eddie?

 

“... the lure of Everton...”

 

That carrrnt be roite can it?

 

Maybe he doesn't want to be successful? If so, would be a good career move

 

Unfortunately he's deadly serious. That lad is a grade A dipstick

Ironically in this latest installment of "Everton look for a new manager", the football we played under Ancelotti in the 2nd half of this season was every bit as bad as anything we served up under Allardyce or Koeman. Arguably worse. People (me included) were keeping faith with him though given the few big results he had pulled off and the fact that our pre-Christmas form was good, but mostly because he is Carlo Ancelotti. There were definite warning signs there and there's a vague feeling that he wasn't suited to the job so that the Real Madrid job coming up was the best thing that could have happened from his perspective as he can be seen as having been given a chance which was too big to turn down (fair) and people just about seeing what he did with us as a decent job (debateable)

Ah well, FWIW my number one pick would be Graham Potter but I expect that isn't a big enough name for our owner nor most of our fanbase and he would probably be silly to accept it anyway. For all the money, history, new ground etc etc stuff we like to trot out about why Everton is such a big pull, the truth is we are a midtable side with expectation levels of a top 6 side. Not exactly conducive to giving any manager the time he needs to improve us to the level most of our fans seem to think is our God-given right to be at. Until that changes, we'll carry on as we have been, lurching from one failed project to another with a squad of vastly overpaid players who don't fit any one way of playing because we change our minds about what that should be every 18 months

 

Hope you get Potter as that would probably be more disruptive to Brighton than Everton losing Ancelotti.

 

What Everton did to us, RM are doing to them. Now they are after Richarlison. It's wonderful how this is unraveling.

We'll get a nice sell on fee too no doubt.

 

Have we got one?

 

No

Won't be true anyway. They have Hazard and Vinicius Junior in that role. Think Richarlison is a lazy media link and it's not like Madrid have money to throw around at the moment

 

No disrespect to Everton but surely to some extent the manager's job at Everton at the moment has got to be seen as a deadend job somewhat. You're not going to break into the top 6 any time soon so realistically the best you are going to do is finish 7th-10th every season, despite the huge amount of transfer money spent.

 

Don't disagree on the whole. The money means we might be more capable of breaking into the top 6 than most, but let's be honest, it doesn't ever seem likely. Ergo we are playing to try and be best of the rest most of the time, and we haven't even managed that for a while.

 

Surely if Leicester and West Ham can do it Everton can, albeit possibly temporarily on the basis that Spurs and Arsenal get their act together at some point in time...

 

I think West Ham was a one off, they will probably drop to 10th or below next season. Leicester is a case in point, I don't believe they throw money around without thinking about it; Moshiri does appear to and I don't think he understands football like the Leicester owners do.

 

So they look like having Nuno Santo. Can't see him taking them forward personally. 7th manager by the end of the season I reckon.

 

Tend to agree. I think it's the *safe* appointment on paper, but I'm not at all convinced he's capable of progressing us.

 

What's the matter with these clubs changing their manager every year..............

 

Having no money to throw about won't stop Real Madrid throwing money about. Like Barca, they believe that something will always turn up. And it always does, because they're great clubs and central to their communities' identity.

 

There isn't any realistic chance they'll throw enough money at us to get him. Of course he'd go and of course we'd sell him if the money was right but we paid you anything between £35m and £45m depending on whose version of events you believe, but he has three years left on his deal so no pressure on Everton to sell him this summer - next summer will be an altogether different proposition. Even then we'll be wanting a fairly sizeable profit on what we paid, and I just can't see Madrid splashing that sort of money on him. He isnt high profile enough

 

The club is rotten throughout. If they revamped their recruitment and the owner had enough patience they have the capability to do what Leicester have done. They won't revamp the recruitment though and the owner won't play it clever so 9th is the best they can hope for.

 

Benitez crossing Stanley Park then.

 

A better choice than Nuno imho. Should be able to repeat his feat at Newcastle with a full preseason and keep them up
