Everton Rumours Archive May 12 2016

12 May 2016 23:01:07
NSNO site reporting tonight that Everton fc are already in talks with Ronald Koeman to take over at the club. he is their no.1 target. I would just point out that this site is not usually wrong and said last week that Bobby would be gone by the end of this week! This is great news if true!

13 May 2016 00:31:52
Only if he brings his goal keeper!

13 May 2016 05:44:14
Soli I would be happy with that but NSNO aren't the only ones who have being saying it everyone has been saying it after the last 4 games. I believe they will go for Jose or de boer as no contract to pay off from other club as far as I am aware.

Anyway good times.

13 May 2016 01:14:52
I'd be surprised if the club have approached him directly, as he's under contract.
I'd imagine any contact would be via an Intermediary such as an agent.
I'm not saying we wouldn't be interested, but we'd surely need Southampton's permission to speak directly with him.
Even if there's no regulatory need to go via his current club, Everton have prided themselves on doing things honestly and above board.
However, I'm not sure how that worked with Moyes joining ManUtd - except, unlike Koeman, Moyes's contract didn't have a year still to run.
Perhaps Ed002 can shed some light on the rules - and the actual reality - of manager/ coach recruitment?

{Ed002's Note - Ronald Koeman is contracted to Southampton and any formal approach would need to be via the club as permission is required to speak with Koeman himself. The first approach would be made through his representatives to see if there is interest - and Albers said this morning that there has been no approach made to any of his charges but did re-iterate that Frank de Boer would be interested in the Everton job.}

Ed002: thanks as always for your informed and clear answer.

12 May 2016 21:25:01
Evening ed. In your opinion who do you think we will get in as manager and who do you thinknow has the best chance of the job. Cheers mate.

{Ed025's Note - de boer is 2/7 favourite john which says a lot mate, koeman would be a good call but he will be in demand from others mate..

12 May 2016 21:54:38
And to be fair mate bookies very rarely get it wrong. I'd have de boer in a heart beat. I know it's a different league but out of his 187 games in charge of ajax he only lost 18. Good win ratio that mate.

12 May 2016 22:54:20
According to NSNO Everton are in talks with Koeman.

13 May 2016 01:36:58
Bookies don't care about being right or wrong. They set the odds according to the betting market and make sure that they make money in the long run.
A favourite is such because of the money actually punted on it - and if it wins then it costs the bookies.
If an outsider wins, then - by definition - only a few punters will win and the bookies will make a lot of money from the losing bets on the favourite.
Either way, the odds change when significant amounts of bets are placed by punters - often fuelled by rumours on social media - and not because bookies have a personal preference.
Bookies are not always right - since favourites lose and outsiders sometimes win (think of Leicester City! ) - but, unless a bookie is downright incompetent, he will always turn a profit by setting the odds carefully and mug punters (the majority! ) will usually lose.
Think of all the losing PL bets on ManCity, Chelsea, Arsenal, etc., and the handful of bets on Leicster City made at the beginning of the season.
No way do the winning bets on Leicester City (even at huge odds) come anyway near the stakes lost by punters betting on the "big" clubs.
Bookies love it when a favourite loses and a rank outsider wins.

13 May 2016 09:03:12
Sids right. Another thing is that if it was well known we were in any type of advanced talks betting would be suspended ASAP. As sid said there in it to make money, you will never see a poor bookmaker.

12 May 2016 20:26:00
With Big Joe Royle and Unsy taking charge against Norwich does that mean maybe big Dunc is going too? Or is he just not upto standard?

{Ed025's Note - im not sure mate..

12 May 2016 20:49:14
Big Dunc has no managerial experience, so bringing in a veteran manager and our current U21 manager makes more sense. I know it's for one game but putting Ferguson in charge is a bit like when the barcodes put shearer in charge. being an icon doesn't make a manager.

12 May 2016 17:41:47
Just seen frank de boer in Maccies on edge lane. Coincidence?

12 May 2016 12:04:21
Rumours gathering speed that Martinez is gone.

12 May 2016 16:30:08
Everton have confirmed! He's gone!

12 May 2016 11:29:33
Martinez was going after Norwich, but with things taking even worse turn, the rumours that he'll be gone before Norwich are true. As much as Kenwright wants the man in charge, the club feels there is no way he can turn up for the final home game of the season without unwanted fan reactions.

12 May 2016 11:36:01
Bill and Roberto are both nice guys, it is time for decisions to be taken that are not nice! this is the way of big business and that includes football, which is driven by results, but now its time to act however painful!

12 May 2016 11:45:13
I heard last night from someone who spoke to Ian Ross,
He said Martinez has gone, an announcement will be made after tonight's awards dinner and we will all be
Pleasantly surprised who takes over .

12 May 2016 11:52:02
Bookies all starting to suspend betting on him going.

12 May 2016 11:54:01
. and where did you get this from Burr, or is that just your opinion?

12 May 2016 12:33:05
As with anyone Brian, you know I'm not going to say, but now the news is starting to spread fast.

12 May 2016 08:40:02
ssn saying Everton working on getting rid of RM before Sunday. let's hope so.

12 May 2016 09:02:04
Makes sense Dave, sound move all round!

12 May 2016 09:47:53
I believe he is 8/ 11 favourite.

12 May 2016 10:41:46
Liverpool fan here. Hope Everton don't make the same mistake that we did, by keeping on Rodgers when he should have gone sooner. De Boer would be a very good appiontment IMO. He has very good record of bringing youngsters through and Everton have a long list of talanted younsgters in the u21s and 18s.

12 May 2016 11:10:30
Cheers LFCD

Lucky sods with Klopp, great guy and hard for us Blues as we like him, can't remember saying that before about anyone associated with LFC.

12 May 2016 11:22:39
Murff wonder if my messages got through to de boer have been sending them since oct hahaha.

12 May 2016 12:32:39
I reckon your the reason he quit PB, keep it up mate, seems to be a lot about Jose now though but can't see that happening.

12 May 2016 12:57:18
Yeah fair play pb. you are entitled to a finders fee.

12 May 2016 08:50:09
Let's hope he gone before Sunday ssn also report Frank de Boer has left ajax put 2 and 2 together could he be next manager ed what would u think of de Boer if he is r next manager do u rate him.

{Ed025's Note - i have an open mind on him duke..

12 May 2016 06:51:42
Hi Eds have seen a report in the express linking us to a move for Lucas Lima do you know if we have been looking at him?

{Ed025's Note - not as far as i am aware ST..

12 May 2016 00:26:31
showing Roberto Martinez as 8/1 to be the next permanent Everton manager? Weird. Do they know something we don't ha!

12 May 2016 02:53:14
So for that 8/ 1 Everton would have to sack Martinez, then reinstate the guy to be the next Everton manager, are you sure its not to be in charge of Everton next season, otherwise be near impossible for Martinez to be the next manager.

12 May 2016 08:07:08
Unbelievably so but Martinez has managed at Wigan and Everton to have both boards accepting that his mediocrity is acceptable and no matter his failures (of course never his fault) he is a young up and coming coach who everyone admires. If this man remains in charge I genuinely believe 100 percent he will relegate us. The man is to arrogant to walk, the board needs to grab whatever balls they have left and do what is best for this football Club, it is no romance anymore Bill, time for your business head.

12 May 2016 12:05:32
RB has the gift of the gab which fools most people including Bill Kenwright so he gets away with being a bad manager. He did fool many Evertonians till recently but he seems to still be fooling Kenwright, hopefully Moshiri will put us out of our misery soon.
