Drinkwater?  

 

No but seriously, Kante is an irreplaceable player, but we still had the pleasure of seeing Leicester in 1/4 of the champions league without him. Everton on the other hand are struggling hard without the Belgian scoring machine 

Hahah, yes Drinky!

We did see that, but we've also been pretty much horrific ever since he left barring the odd decent display.

Because he had the players to suit his style of play, then this season for some reason he disrupted the balance of his squad and bought too many of the same players, we don't have players that suit his style of play and I don't think there would be any chance it would work at the King Power for him

Don't agree with that at all.

 

Southampton had defensively solid midfielders, a defence that didn't do anything overly adventurous and a rapid attack that countered for fun.

Something similar to his work at Southampton, a club that continually sold their best players and he continually had them playing great football.

We don't have Southampton's transfer policy & academy, they could more or less sell most of their whole first team every year & have a team just as good waiting in the wings

But our squad is not similar to that of Southampton's and plays a complete opposite way so without a summer transfer window it wouldn't work.

See my other post.

Mail reporting Everton will go for Dyche. We have perhaps forced their hand on this one.

 

But at least it sounds like they've identified a target and are going for him, same cannot be said of us.

So bring in the man that over saw it all for the two most successful Premier League seasons of their history?

You mean the manager that, in his last 3 full Premier League seasons, finished 7th, 6th and 7th and was touted for the Barcelona job in the summer?

And? He's been utter crud this season, my opinion has always been hire someone with a track record of current success and not a recent failure.

 

He's better bet than a lot of the shit names that get chucked about, but I just don't like hiring people with a stain on their record like the Everton one this season.

Don't want that ginger, moaning c unt or the other one either. Pisses me off that they f uck him off straight before we play them, though.

 

Agree. Koeman is a irritating unlikable cvnt. Shame they binned him off now, and not next week. I suspect the media will won't treat this sacking as the patronising as they did with the Shakespeare sacking.

My point is, the manager is almost inconsequential at Saints... Whoever is there, that structure exists.

 

(I'm not saying he's a bad manager though)

 

Saints are a most admirable club & something for most clubs to aspire to

Come on, lets not forget he followed the man who probably will be the next Barcelona manager at Saints and inherited a great setup there. Here it's not a case of maintaining the status quo, we need a rebuild and his recent record this season doing just that at Everton is awful.

[foxes_rule1978]

I would get him in 

[Rusko187]

Sounds like we'll miss out on Dyche which is a big shame.

Yeah but what if he's basically Brian Clough reincarnated and Everton was his The Damned United phase?

 

If we gerrimin then there's another league title and 2 Champions Leagues on the way

[Monsell1976]

Wouldn’t worry about Everton or West Ham nicking any manager we want.

 Yes both bigger clubs, but both with more expectant fans, and looking from the outside, a bigger mess to sort out, and bigger pressure to succeed this season.

 Where we are more likely to accept survival this season, and build on it next, and the year after etc, but still pay good money, and have a decent budget for players.

 My biggest fear is a backlash from Everton Sunday, but I really don’t see that.

Out of interest.

 

Would you have taken Koeman if he'd had 3 successive seasons similar to this one followed by 9 games of being 6th or 7th?

Please be true. He can stay up north and keep his barm cakes and his even drizzlier drizzle and all that shit, and we can rejoice in the fact that there's no chance he'll join us.

 

Just as long as we don't go in for Koeman, everyone's a winner. Koeman can go to Burnley

 

 

 

[GaelicFox]

He  is going to be Paid monthly till he finds a new job 

 

so I can’t see him taking a job for a while 

 

thats his contract apparently

I've already stated I want someone who is currently doing it and have several years of doing it. Someone with a record of a rebuild who can impose their own style on a team. Ideally.

[Izzy]

Never forgiven him for denying England a place at USA '94

 

For that reason alone he can fvck right off.

They also had the likes of Dusan Tadic and James Ward-Prowse as creative attacking midfielders, overlapping full backs and a Target Man who held the ball up well (Slimani's hold up play isn't great, he's a goal scorer)

Would you rather have Dusan Tadic and James Ward-Prowse or Mahrez and Silva?

 

They definitely didn't have over lapping full backs. Soares and Bertrand don't do attacking football.

That's fair enough but Southampton was a low-pressure job whereas working for Everton the expectations on him were ramped up and he was found wanting, you'd expect a similar result with us and our owners.
