kingcarr21 Posted 2 October 2017 Share Posted 2 October 2017 What about Koeman? He is under immense pressure at Everton. Evertons lack of a striker is quite telling, I can see Koeman being sacked before Xmas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He turned Frankfurt from relegation favourites in to consistent top half scrappers. Plays the 352 that kept us up in the great escape, focuses on fitness and work ethic and stubborn football. Wouldn't be the prettiest football but would fit most of the current squad. He's a bit of an O'Neill. Passionate motivator more than tactical genius, known for his blood and thunder speeches and winding his players up. Edit: oh and from some angles, looks like an older JGL who's taken one too many shoeings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finnegan Posted 2 October 2017 Share Posted 2 October 2017 Alternatively, Julian Nagelsmann is a thirty year old (in his twenties still when he got the job) with almost no playing experience that's turned Hoffenheim in to a top four club. Madness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TAFKA Castroneves Posted 2 October 2017 Share Posted 2 October 2017 It'll be Nigel Pearson - just based on the fact that we'll only be changing things if we end up in a bit of a relegation scrap - and the owners are very loyal (which has been proven again) - that then discounts all the "bigger" names everyone wants - ala Rafa, Tuchel, Ancelotti etc who won't be game for that.

I think ground wise support wise and history of winning things will prove you wrong on that score. They simply are a bigger club. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They simply are a bigger club. Their last major trophy was the FA Cup in 1955. They do have a bigger ground and more than likely a bigger fanbase but that doesn't count for a lot these days. They don't spend more money than us and if a player had an offer from both clubs on exactly the same terms it would be a coin flip on who he joined.

Foxxed Posted 2 October 2017 Share Posted 2 October 2017 Let's spike Steve Walsh's drink when the Toffees travel down and give him a shot at management when he wakes up in Rudkin's cellar. He's probably regretting his open checkbook failure now anyhow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't want my job but the money keeps me in beer and I at least do a passable job. I'm sure the high octane world of first class football management is vaguely the same.

seenitall Posted 2 October 2017 Share Posted 2 October 2017 Get Pearson back in and then I can get some respite by finally giving up on the team for a year or two until he's gone - I've got lots of things I should be doing on a Saturday instead of watching a jerky stream of us hoofing it about.......

LittlethorpeFox Posted 2 October 2017 Share Posted 2 October 2017 11 hours ago, inckley fox said: He went down with Newcastle. No, he wasn't to blame, but his relegation-dodging pedigree isn't too reassuring. You never know who's going to click. Even if, say, Ancelotti wanted to come, it could go wrong. He's not managed anything other than a top end club in two decades and we've come a cropper before bringing in high calibre bosses who aren't right for our predicament. Who'd have thought Pearson would be a better fit than Sousa and Eriksson? A lot of the names could work out - but it's a huge risk. Wagner finished 19th in his first season so he's no more of an impact boss than Pearson. Tuchel doesn't know this league. Howe may well be a one-club man. I think we'll hold on for a little longer to give CS the chance to find the answers, and see how tidy a job Pearson is doing in Belgium in the meantime. If the board look elsewhere, it could well be for someone with 'survival pedigree', which isn't necessarily as mouth-watering prospect as the names in the poll. I don't think Pearson has to be seen as a step backwards. It wasn't a step backwards in 2011. He's a team-builder, so a forward-thinking ex-boss is more likely to move us forwards than a conservative-minded new face. The problem with Pearson is that he needs to find his feet again for now, he's unlikely to reunite the old backroom team and may be a better option if it all goes wrong and we need to start a project from scratch a year from now, and have the patience to let it happen. In the short-term, we should look at how we can help Shakespeare, either from above (a football-minded DoF) or below (someone new in the coaching staff), before rushing to a decision. Remind him that he needs to come up with new answers and give him the chance and backing to do it. After all, the board did just sell his star midfielder and balls up the replacement. And as awful as we look, a point away is a decent point. great post Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
