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.

and I want a Ferrari and an 8 bed mansion.

 

We're a mid-to-low end Premier League team. If we get Koeman or Pellegrini we'll be punching.

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.

That's a fair point.

 

I'd like to think that the next manager will be given the opportunity to do a Pearson-style 2/3 year rebuild while maintaining Premier League football. We'd have to wait and see.

[Mullet1]

This is amazing 2 wealthy premier league teams with no manager play live on sky on Sunday. The build up gonna be immense!! 

I see Jamie Redknapp is saying he isn’t surprised yet slagged is off fir sacking Shakespeare. The guys a kn*b head 

and you just know that Everton are going to get our number 1 target whoever that may be 

[KingKoala]

TBF to him, Ranieri was sacked by Greece before coming here to win us title

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 

 

Be unusual for a manager to be sacked from one club to take charge at another immediately these days, because of the way that contracts are paid off after a dismissal

 

Why work when you can take the rest of the season off?

 

If I were Koeman I'd try and get a job in Spain & aim for 3rd/4th

There definitely won't be the same fake outrage over Koeman sacking as there was over Shakespeare sacking. 

 

2 clubs who hsve wasted millions will face each other on Sunday, the build up will be fecking repetitive tedious rubbish.

2015/16 - Leicester win the title out of nowhere

 

2017/18 - Leicester sack their manager who had an impressive start the season before. Sacked after what was a poor start albeit with a difficult run of fixtures. The club is sat below expectations in the table. Reaction? Disgrace, joke, pathetic, typical clueless foriegn owners

 

2016/17 - Everton finish an easy 7th in the PL

 

2017/18 - Everton sack their manager after an impressive first season at the club. Sacked after what has been a poor start albeit with a difficult run of fixtures and a lot of money spent.  The club is sat below expectations in the table? Reaction?

 

 

Also using numbers from transfermarkt.com, we spent 83m on players this summer. Our success from two seasons ago + 83m spent this summer shows that our owners ambitions aren't to settle for 17th place every single season, like these so called top pundits believe we should be doing.

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.

This was followed by a foray into international management with the Greece national team, but he was sacked less than four months later due to a 1–0 defeat against the Faroe Islands in the UEFA Euro 2016 qualifying. Ranieri returned to England once more in the summer of 2015 as manager of Leicester City.

Koeman has failed to gel a whole new team, the 7th place finish - European competition & the money spent since has made the relegation zone untenable for him

 

Shakey has put best part of a decade into this club as it's most successful coach/asst manager ever... There's probably a case that Shakey was over-promoted, but that reflects more on his boss than him. Shakey deserved better from the club.

[Karljohn]

Koeman desperatly needed a replacement for Lukaku, that never arrived.

 

Hi Mr Rudkin....im Ronald.

Have to agree we need someone to make us function as a team. A Martin O’Neill type manager or a Pearson, the players need a strong management team who will demand more from them.

We have had a let’s see what happens mentality for the last two seasons because we never expected to win the league or be in a relegation battle the year after. It’s tough to gauge where we are as a team because the the difference is so extreme.

My personal choice would be Brendan Rodgers because given time we would play attractive attacking football.

Silva isn't that creative to be honest, he's a tackler and intercepter and looks for a pass, similar to Drinkwater. 

 

Bertrand and Soares definitely get forward often, but last season Puel got them to stay back a bit more often admittedly.

He's a damn sight more creative than James Ward Prowse

[Farrington fox]

Great, the Toffies will have a rebound just like us.

I see your point. It's a bit like how people turn their nose up at signing players who are out of contract at the end of the season. "If they're not good enough for them........."

 

 

I wouldn't be against us going for Koeman but I don't think he's what we need right now.

[AKCJ]

Just now, pmcla26 said:

Hmm, he certainly has more quality, but they're different sort of players is the sort of thing I'm trying to say  

I wouldn't say there's an awful lot of difference between the two.

 

Both know how to defend but prefer to play on the front foot.

[shen]

Never liked or particularly rated Koeman as a manager. Don't think his style would work well at our club either.

[Max Wall]

If the answer to the question is Koeman, I think we're asking the wrong question.

His transfer dealings this season are arguably worse than ours.

I really don't want him.

And how often does hiring failures in their last job actually work? We can't use a 5000/1 shot as evidence of what we should be doing. It's about attempting to minimise risk.

[SuperMike]

Any manager who regularly uses Tom Davies is questionable. A bit like the Peter Taylor / Junior Lewis thing?

[indierich06]

Let's face it - Everton have had a shit season so far because they had a ridiculously hard start and they didn't replace Lukaku, which anyone could see was going to cause them problems. 

Koeman did a good job with Southampton, and he took Everton to 7th last year. Let's not write him off because of 9 games this season. He's absolutely lightyears ahead of some of the names I've seen - Allardyce, Pardew, Puel, Coleman. And if Everton are going to be in the market for the same managers we're going for, then this is one they definitely won't poach off us! We need to get someone in ASAP so they can start getting the team playing to their style, and so they've got enough time to assess what we need when it comes to the January window, I don't want us to be mucking around and competing with Everton for someone like Pellegrini only to end up disappointed and having to make a panic appointment.

 

At the end of last season, I think a lot of us would have snapped your hand off if we'd been offered Koeman. I'd happily take him now.

 

 

[whoareyaaa]

Shit manager that's why he has been sacked

[Guest Col city fan]

Don't want Koeman. If he can't make the opportunity he had at Everton work, id avoid him for the meantime.

Rumour has it that most of the new signings were Koeman choices.

[dannythefox]

No thanks. Can't believe people are taking about it do we want another shit window? look at some of the crap he's bought we don't need another manager like that!
