Would chequebook Charlie Mourinho even entertain the idea of going there without a shedload to spend? Not that they haven't already done so, but it has to be running down now. Besides which, have they been paying any heed to how Mourinho has become as toxic as they are themselves, in recent jobs? There was a time when he'd have two good years and then the third year would turn to shit with him reverting to type, but now it's straight into the third year mode.

Mourinho would be typical of the Moshiri (and Kenweight, if he's still got clout and influence) decision making process. 

 

A relatively clueless non-football man and a diehard fan who thinks his club is bigger than it is and should go for the biggest name they can get, even if he's not really at the top of his game anymore and hasn't moved on with football. 

 

Moyes gets stick as being a negative manager. He still can be, but he seems to have adapted his tactical style a bit and has West Ham playing some good and entertaining football. Mourinho would be replacing like with like. Both he and Benitez seem to have their style of play and are wedded to it, even if it's a bit dated and the game has moved on. 

 

The sense of entitlement and the angry impatience of the bloooooos makes this unlikely to happen - but their next appointment (if Benitez goes) needs time. They could do worse than looking for the next Moyes - a younger, lower league manager who can come in and gradually improve them. Or a young manager with a style of play who can come in and get them playing brighter, more easy on the eye attacking football. 

 

Personally speaking, I've been impressed with Scott Parker's start to management. He wouldn't be an option for us. But, he had Fulham playing some decent stuff before they were relegated. Seemed tactically flexible with them too. He's now doing a good job at Bournemouth. He's even getting a tune out of Solanke. He's one to watch, for me.

Presumably Mourinho will be getting sacked by the end of the season when Roma finish 7th.


It’s an interesting study in how the stench permeating through a club can completely take it over though. Even if you agree that Rafa is past his best (which he is) he still knows what he’s doing.

Ancelotti phoned it in, but he’s now top of the league with Real Madrid. Both Champions League winning managers.

 

Koeman did a good job with the Dutch and ended up getting the Barcelona job. Even Martinez has Belgium going quite well. The managers really shouldn’t have been the problem.

 

Moshiri has chucked half a billion quid at it, so it’s not the lack of funds. 
 

It’s just the stench of Everton turns everything to shit.

I wonder if Moyes basically ran the entire club back in the day and when he left all of a sudden they didn't know what to do. They had an identity back then at least.

 

Now they just spend big on mostly crap players and big name managers hoping something woks out.

I remember thinking when Koeman was sacked that they'd come to regret it, that they'd never land a name as big again. And the size of a name absolutely matters. "Ronald Koeman is on the phone" v "Marco Silva is on the phone". Not only that, you look at your bench as a fan and seeing a football heavyweight there, well, it gives you nice warm feeling in your giblets and isn't that what following a team is meant to do? With all of that in mind, Everton manage to get not one but two other football heavyweights to rock up to Goodison, yet they're still dragging them down to the level of featherweights.

 

Stench is right.

If they sack Rafa, it's only because he can no longer perform the act of human shield to the owners. It's nothing to do with results, because if it was a completely results driven appointment, then they'd have never hired him as their fans were never going to create an environment where he could succeed. So getting mourinho, even if he is a busted flush, would buy the owners a little more time. I'm not entirely sure what game Moshiri is on, but I assume his current objective is to buy time, maintain PL status until he sorts out the finances, as I'm guessing his spare cash has gone at this point.

Organised mass walkout at 27 minutes, for 27 years. 

 

Oh Everton, we're all laughing at you. 

But they walked out on 19 minutes on Wednesday. What were they protesting then?

Honestly, what the fuck are they saying? We welcome a billionaire who wants the club as his play thing, but he needs to be better at playing?

 

Or by "management" do they just mean Rafa, but don't think they can say that? 

 

And I also love they respect fans decision who choose to leave for 5 mins, till half time, for the whole game. It would appear they don't respect the fans who think it's fucking stupid. 

 

And aren't leaflets and campaigns kopite behaviour?  Although at the end of the day, I supposed some things never change and leaflets are just another Everton first.
