12 months ago if someone had said, Martinez will be sacked, a new sugar daddy will buy into Everton, he will fund transfers, fund for a new stadium and the dark side will lose in two finals, I would call for the men in white coats.

After years of being blessed by the devil, has the Lord almighty finally said enoughs enough, the future is bright, every dog has its day and for once, everything is going our way.

18 May 2016 23:55:20
It was obvious that Martinez would be sacked but a bit later than I expected and with the new money in the prem a takeover was allways likely, I hope your optimism is correct.

Liverpool gave something in common now.
Pete doghety relationship with Kate moss.

18 May 2016 22:12:51

Hi ed. Do you know if there is any talks planned with any potential manager this week. Do you think we will appoint before the euros. And is de boer gone off the radar. Gone very quiet on that one.

{Ed002's Note - Yes, I have explained about planned talks. No idea. No.}

18 May 2016 20:46:09
My two pence worth, i'm saying de boar as our next manager. We are not in Europe and coming off the back of a poor season. We need a name that people respect and are drawn too. Mourhino is first choice but he will not come and is only using us as a pawn for the Manchester United hob. Koeman is favourable but he has built up Southampton and is in Europe next year plus again I feel is priming himself for one more year at saints then off to a top European club. Going back to de boar, he maybe unproven in premier etc, but he will atract players, increase our world exposure and fingers crossed any improvement on the last two years is a bonus as I thought we were doomed under Roberto.

18 May 2016 21:21:47
Absolutely spot on Paulybluenose. Although I will say that improvement on last 2 seasons is more of a minimum requirement rather than a bonus.

Good post mate.

18 May 2016 22:03:34
While Frank DB is on my top 5 list I feel we need someone who can bring out the fight in our team, someone with a bit more experience basically

Arsenal, Spurs, man u, Chelsea, man city, lpool, west ham, leicseter, saints, stoke all could easily finish in the first 10 places next season (watch that be next seasons top ten lol)

We need someone like Gus Hiddink someone who'll role their sleeves up and work (work hard) , someone who knows the league and our players.

{Ed002's Note - A 70 year old you mean. Not going to happen.}

18 May 2016 23:02:36
ok maybe not a 70 year old but what is the age of the managers who have won the league here.? not young

for me I feel we need an experienced head to lead us forward.

{Ed002's Note - It will be around the mid 50s. Not too far off David Moye's age if that is how the new manager is being decided.}

18 May 2016 18:31:06
So out of the 4999 mangers linked with the job ed who are the top 3 mangers likely to get job.

{Ed025's Note - i would be guessing here but..de boer..favre..and koeman would be my guess konehead..

18 May 2016 18:20:03
What does director of football do?

18 May 2016 18:26:42
Prawn darned.

18 May 2016 20:04:05
Think it's a link between manager and board dazza.

18 May 2016 17:16:31
It seems obvious to me, by just how long it took them to sack Martinez, that Bill had no intention of sacking Martinez this season, no matter how bad things got. This to me also suggests that there was no plan on who would replace him and with the season ending, there isn't too much urgency to make the decision. All these fans asking every day if there's any news should probably prepare themselves for at least another few weeks wait before we get our answer and I wouldn't trust a word you read in the paper in the meantime.

{Ed025's Note - its always hard to determine fact from fiction AB only those in the top positions really know the score, the press especially will make up stories to sell papers and fans will read into it what they will, for me we have to trust moshiri and the club to do the right thing and nothing that has happened since he has been here has forced me to think otherwise mate..

18 May 2016 20:16:27
We will only seethe way forward when Moshiri obtains a proper controlling interest. Until then, Kenwright's presence will continue to muddy the waters and split the fanbase.

18 May 2016 14:23:05
On the new stadium front. Everton officials were i my country looking at the Aviva stadium some years back. It is a soulless round stadium but it is a beauty. Read into that if you want eds. What do you think eds.

COYB.

{Ed002's Note - I am not aware of any specific plans yet and would expect them to be very much driven by the location. A green field development opens the door to pretty much anything. An inner city development will have a lot of restrictions, infrastructure issues, etc..}

18 May 2016 13:32:15
Interesting summer for us I think. Never been in a position like this moving forward and we won't have this spending power year after year so we need to get it right first time with a manager.
De Boer seems interesting, but apart from a weak Dutch league is unproven.
Is Pellegrini a big draw or was the draw at Man City the huge wages.
Realistically, which big name players are going to want to play for a club that has finished 11th the last 2 seasons without a big name manager?

18 May 2016 11:51:44
Why would anyone want benetiz? He turned inter milan into a heaving pile of shit (the same team that did the treble the previous year) he made a champions league club and caused their descent into the europa league in napoli and his time at real didn't really work out too. I know he's probably going to stay at newcastle but I was just curious why would anyone want him given his past record.

18 May 2016 12:35:10
done to death mate, think he has a verbal to stay with the Geordies but nothing signed yet, poor sods he isn't signing yet as he is waiting for anything else, won't be coming here that 100% for certain, guaranteed, take it to the bank and finally its a fact boom.

18 May 2016 10:40:31
What interests me is the garbage coming fron Joe Anderson. He only wants to help us if we go for the redevelopment option and we foot half the bill. Then he says if we build our own stadium with our own money it could help Liverpool in it's bid for the commonwealth games. That being the case I think we should force Liverpool council to foot half the bill for our stadium.

18 May 2016 10:19:36
lukaku to go before euros, put a £70 million price tag on him, tell clubs put up or shut up. i hope we get a manager before the euros so he an see what we got and what we need. would love a high profile manager, but it looks to me between fdb, koeman and moyes. koeman my choice. some one who knows the premier league. might even bring mane with him.

18 May 2016 10:51:52
Dazz

''"At the moment I think Manchester United or Bayern Munich are the most suitable for him, especially Bayern, " said Lukaku Sr. ''

Man. Utd wouldn't suit him imo, LVG would stifle him with an obligatory 2 touches before he takes a strike and then there's the looming JM factor once again?

18 May 2016 11:06:34
Made me laugh when he said Italy would be a no go because Italian defenders are too good.
Lets hope his new team don't draw Juventus in the Champions league.

18 May 2016 11:22:02
Lol Frank

This Lukaku Sr. knows how to build confidence in his boy or what?

18 May 2016 08:05:15
Is there anyway a new Everton could hold Athletics like the mayor want, without having a track around the pitch? Athletics stadiums lack atmosphere. You wouldn't even be able to hear the infamous boos.

{Ed025's Note - i would not think so brad..

18 May 2016 08:36:46
They have retractable seating these days so you can have a track whilst keeping seats close to the pitch for football games.

18 May 2016 09:18:37
Is that what West Ham are having Sven.

18 May 2016 09:49:58
Ye there is. Olympic stadium I worked on has retractable seats they cover track and then move away when athletics is on. Stipulation of fa and roof must cover fans that's why we did the work last year.

18 May 2016 10:14:59
Cheers Pb that answers that one, even more excited now, multi use super stadium on the docks, I can hear the Koppites crying from my office now.

18 May 2016 10:23:16
Be great if it happens. We get a new home, that lot get an extension.

18 May 2016 11:03:37
Nice one Murf, they'll be even more gutted when we win the prem before them.
