Surprised at how quiet the Joachim Löw connection has gone. Gone off the radar in last few weeks.
My choice and available still Marcello Lippi known to be wanting a return to coaching.
Hiddink his teams always entertained perhaps could be a way into coaching for Cahill.

27 May 2016 05:56:17
Have a look at Michel Preud'homme the Brugge manager. Good stats, wins stuff with his teams and instills a good attitude in his players. Wasn't a bad keeper too when he played.

26 May 2016 22:48:49
I said it few days ago hope it's not true but Martin o Neil is going to be announced after the euros won't be announced before as to not hamper Ireland's prep.

26 May 2016 23:35:50
hahahahahaha great joke must tell my mates that in boozer tomoz.

26 May 2016 23:41:00
To be fair, if O'Neill got the job, id be wondering why Unsworth wasn't considered.

27 May 2016 08:21:25
I"M WONDERING WHY PEOPLE ARE STILL BANGING ON ABOUT O"NEIL GIVE IT A REST.

26 May 2016 22:07:46
You just said it all in one sentence the euros in the middle of it all we won't sell till after and we could buy outside of the euros whoever takes over so why the panic.

26 May 2016 20:36:19
So when's the protest then? 😂😂

Has anyone (in particular those who were so vociferous and insistent the RM was given the boot and who now are clamouring for a manager now now now) stopped to consider that the main reason that they didn't sack him was that there was no one really available to take us forward? Or that looking for a manager when you haven't got one puts you at a disadvantage when trying to negotiate with a potential replacement? Just thoughts by the way, I'm looking forward to a new man at the helm as much as anyone else, I just wish people would be a bit more patient instead of the usual Bill bashing.

26 May 2016 21:23:19
I'm 100% with about not bashing Bill Pedro. But Bobby had to go. The only thing they should of done was get rid of him sooner. I'm convinced our next manager will be an improvement.

26 May 2016 18:17:05
hello Eds. i'm quite frustrated I thought a clear idea of a replacement manager would have been on the cards when they sacked bobby, and instead we seem to be dragging our heals again. This is probably the most important transfer window in years, all the premier league teams have money. You have new managers coming into big teams with only a few quality players that everyone will be bidding for . we have players who are openly wanting to leave . and the euro championships in the middle of it all. come on make a decision so we can spend some of our new found wealth and not be left further behind buying the last picks!

{Ed025's Note - things have to be done properly daz, we dont want a knee jerk appointment and live to regret it mate but i do see your point..

26 May 2016 18:45:49
with respect daz, look what we got the last time we put pressure on Kenwright and the board for a hurry up appointment.

26 May 2016 18:48:06
Point is is anything being done at all.

{Ed025's Note - im sure it is pb..

26 May 2016 19:46:14
Yeah but ed, surely when we were calling for bobbys head for months, the board must have had a conversation regarding keeping him, firing him etc and who would replace him. If they were contemplating on sacking him, they should have had potential replacements in mind and when he was let go, they should have contacted them and interviewed them asap.

{Ed025's Note - i dont think its as easy as that ray, there are agents and contract terms to deal with and the season has only just finished, patience mate..

26 May 2016 19:51:21
When they sacked Bobby daz? I think you will find we sort of forced their hand in that (us the fans)
Let's not force their hand in the appointment as well because the season has finished so we're bored and want some news.

26 May 2016 22:07:06
Agreed Svenny, more important to get the right man.

26 May 2016 16:57:38
Just that one sentence from rdb brother has changed my mind, I want rdb. (if rdb was in charge he would let lukaku rot in the reserves) . NO player should be bigger than the club.

26 May 2016 17:47:05
Dont agree with letting him rot. would do no good for club, player, fans or rest of team. Simply agree to sell him but stipulate that has to be at a price we agree are happy with. Unfortunately his agent and father have big mouths. they forget Everton gave him Tha platform and the money, and I believe coaching team improved him. my opinion I get rid before the rot spreads elsewhere.

{Ed025's Note - im with you there jcl..

26 May 2016 18:12:56
You do know that Frank is the brother that we might be looking at to hire right and not Ronald? I get your point though.

26 May 2016 14:49:48
I hope we aren't actually appointing moyes.

26 May 2016 13:47:41
Everyone jumping on roms apparent quote has he once said I want to leave no if it weren't for him we would be a championship team short memories a lot of you.

26 May 2016 13:52:17
we would have had another striker in place, if he never scored as many as Rom at the beginning then Martinez would have been sacked earlier, we may have won the FA Cup, we probably would have finished higher, ROM DID NOT SAVE US.

26 May 2016 14:14:23
. agreed Murf. the guys a tosser. ship him out for a high price or let him rot in the reserves. Everton needs to become a team again of committed players playing for each other and our club not individualistic knob who think they're much better than they are and continue to show no class or respect to the club that pays their wages!

26 May 2016 14:15:47
Rom is a mercinary simple as that he wants the money not the titles if he were not a footballer I have no doubts he would be a member of the foreign legion

Can we blame him. Probably not take the £65m and run.

26 May 2016 14:19:51
Everton baldy I don't have a short memory mate I've watched him walk round the pitch without a care in the world since just after crimbo his attitude is not good enough mate we need players who would put there body on the line for the shirt and rom just won't he will however get goals but only in fits n starts. Basically when he can be arsed putting a shift in that's not good enough for me.

26 May 2016 14:20:44
lukaku equals anelka.

{Ed025's Note - but without the first touch shogs..

26 May 2016 14:27:24
Shogs that is so true mate, can't believe I never though of that, instead of Anelkas brothers we have Roms Dad, all the Rom lovers reresh my memory again, how many did he score the last 10 (TEN) games, can't blame service this time either, he is just a spoilt lazy brat, get rid.

26 May 2016 15:03:35
If walking round the pitch qualifies for a sacking then wave goodbye to 90% of the squad.

26 May 2016 16:09:24
Spent the last ten games blaming everyone else for him not scoring. Was always huffing and puffing after ten minutes too. I got to the point that I was hoping we would do a Manchester United and shot a kid up front. someone scoring like Brewster. he would of ran to the ends of earth to play for us.100% effort, grateful of the chance and doesn't have an agent or father trying to get him champions league football before next season begins. said before, there's plenty of strikers out there, janssen, batshuayi, lacazette and alcacer from Valencia to name but a few who I believe aren't out of our grasp.

26 May 2016 16:16:48
Have to disagree about being relegated without Roms goals, there is only the wba game and one other where we would not have won without Roms goals, having said that, had we had another top striker, we may have won those games anyway. I still say put a chance through to Naismith in the box and he rarely missed, how many times did we see Del boy pointing saying that's where you should have anticipated the cross coming in, jesus Yakubu scored over 20 goals in a poor Everton team so if we get a bid as big as Lukakus ego I would snatch at the offer.

26 May 2016 17:51:00
I'm sorry but Anelka in his prime as a footballer was a lot better than Lukaku has been up to now.

{Ed025's Note - your dead right mate..

26 May 2016 12:00:18
Could the fact that we've not announced our manager be because his current club still have 1 game to play this season? I'm thinking / dreaming it's Simeone. Hahaha.

26 May 2016 12:40:56
TBJ

I like your way of thinking mate :)

{Ed025's Note - we wish..

26 May 2016 12:51:21
Simeone my favourite manager. Imho he'll develop into one of best managers of all time if he improves his career further.

26 May 2016 13:49:11
The guy threw a ball on to the pitch to stop a counter attack. He's so low it's disturbing.

26 May 2016 13:53:45
ooohh Svenny, discount him totally then the ruffian, seriously disturbing because he threw a ball on the pitch chill out man.

26 May 2016 14:00:42
Svenny he didn't throw it he gave the ball boy 500.000 pasatas mate I've got no issue with that get him in the man has passion oozing the his vains.

26 May 2016 14:13:13
oh yeh as if he is going to come here, he could pick any club in the world, besides City, United would have dumped the Mourinho circus for him.

26 May 2016 11:43:09
For me this plot has just thickened a little I'm not by any means "in the know" but judging by what I am reading it looks like moyes, pellagrini because the echo are saying we have already spoke to both of them or an outside bet the echo are saying we haven't had any contact with fdb which says a lot to me all the others emery, Rafa, jose, koeman have fallen by the whey side

I still think it will be pellagrini but who knows it really could be someone we have never mentioned

But like I said yesterday we are Everton and we give you a chance so whoever gets the gig on our first league game at Goodison park in August will have 40.000 toffees right behind him giving him our full support.

26 May 2016 11:14:34
I think Moyes would be a decent choice, not my favourite but we do need somebody to steady the ship and he would certainly do that and perhaps with funds available he could take us to champions league etc. Also can you imagine Lukako letting mouth go if Moyes was in charge.

26 May 2016 11:24:19
I doubt Moyes could attract top name players, and his bigger signings were his worse signings.

26 May 2016 11:31:05
Ron

Having DM back is imo a knee jerk reaction to RM's defensive debacle and lack of '90 min' match preperation.

There so far, couldn't be a better time to re group and re assess what we have and the potential with new arrivals in the summer to move forward to a new level.
Martinez meant free fall and Moyes meant treading water so it's got to be onwards and UPWARDS.

26 May 2016 11:51:04
Blue 247 I see what your saying bro but I wouldn't exactly say moyes was treading water "punching above his wait" more like it for me I hated what he done to us in the end but if he were to be given the gig like I said before I will be right behind him mate I would get behind me bean if he was fighting for the royal blue cause.

26 May 2016 12:23:47
Jay

''I would get behind mr bean if he was fighting for the royal blue cause. ''

Me too mate!

I just hope DM doesn't return, 'punching above our weight' well maybe? punching above his weight at Old Trafford? yes for sure!
Thing is, I don't see him as the iconic flag bearer we
need in this new 'exiting' era we can all see developing .

{Ed025's Note - me neither 247..

26 May 2016 13:32:00
Totally understand blue fair point mate 👍.

26 May 2016 10:40:58
I'm really grateful that Lukaku is going to do us the 'honour' of talking to Moshiri out of courtesy. I mean why should he do it just because he is on £70 k (or whatever) a week and still contracted to the club.
Bottom line is he has ability though not as much as he believes but his attitude and work rate are dire. Always someone elses fault, barely wins a header.
With his ability and Marcus Bents work rate you may have a player.
But with his ability and poor attitude show him the door - but on OUR terms.

26 May 2016 10:06:57
moyes manager and phil neville assistant manager, then kenright woke up from his wet dreams. don't want pelligrini, bit of a wet lettuce, fdb who knows? getting fed up with it now, give it to fdb with a release clause after a season.

26 May 2016 10:13:20
Dazz

''moyes manager and phil neville assistant manager, ''

Yep the dream team, kinnell LOL.

26 May 2016 10:32:01
I think your right. Sadly.

26 May 2016 08:00:54
Reading Fsvre's comments on why he signed a deal with Nice,

It seems we

# Dragged our feet too much .

# No real interest

# Already have a solid candidate and waiting for right time to announce etc.

So as the great Julius Caesar once said about us,

Nil Satis Nisi Optimum.

26 May 2016 08:50:21
If true, that is very sad but typical.

26 May 2016 08:57:41
It didn't take Watford long to sort out the inter Milan manager once they got shot of Flores.

It seems Everton drag their feet on most things. If they do so with peel over the new stadium they will have none of it. Believe me I've had to deal with them a few times on the property front and they take poo!

26 May 2016 09:18:45
I love him to bits and I absolutely do not know for certain but until Bill steps down and let's go of his train set he will continue to be a hindrance.

26 May 2016 09:21:21
oh my god chill out, so much doom and gloom, we are obviously taking our time so that Mr Moshiri can get the right person in place, we will have an announcement on where the new stadium will be very soon, we are getting a new stadium, some players will go, so what not bigger than the club, we move on, Mr Moshiri has promised whatever he has is ours, what owner does that, Mike Ashley, Randy Lerner, JW Henry, no, ours did though, he was only in place 24 hours and stated he is part of the family already

Regarding Favre, obviously we didn't want him as if we did money talks, Moyes will not be coming, guaranteed, just sit back, smile and enjoy the ride, none of us know how to run a club so let's just let our BILLIONAIRE, yeh BILLIONAIRE owner do what he does best, be successful

No wonder why Ed 2 moans so much (sorry Ed) , I don't blame him, so much negativity and moaning on here, massive things ahead for our club, won't happen overnight, Lukaku is gone, so what, is he really irreplaceable if we get 45 million for him, never scored for the last 10 games so not as if he is prolific, Stones irreplaceable, NO, Barkley won't be going anywhere

Come on Blues, hang in there, good times ahead, rant over.

{Ed025's Note - that cheered me up a bit degs...nice one..

26 May 2016 09:23:35
I suspect that we already have a Manager lined up and are waiting for the ideal time for announcement, the only thing is Utd are currently stealing our thunder. It is all about timing when there are huge sums sloshing around.

{Ed025's Note - fair point BCT..

26 May 2016 09:30:28
Billscroc - Kenwright's train set broke when Mr Moshiri stamped on it mate, Moshiri pulls all the strings now and he has control over every decision, Kenwright can recommend all he wants mate but if Moshiri thinks he is talking garbage then he will tell him so

Nice article in the Everton Echo yesterday about control of our club, apparently some shares are lost and they estimate could be about 2% as they tried to find the owners years ago but reckon they have dies or shares got lost in the blitz, Mr Moshiri is the majority owner and that is probably why he bought 49.9% as he knows there is not another 50.1% available, read the Everton Echo article as explains who is in control, financial experts are quoted on there.

26 May 2016 09:40:55
Good post murf. agree on all of it. Lukaku wants to go, just sign another striker. plenty out there.
Stones could leave, again plenty of defenders, including the great bunch of talents in the u21s. Pennington, Connelly, Browning and Holgate to name a few. I'll admit that I'm constantly on here or ssn checking for any info on a incoming manager, but a possible new stadium and major investment, happy times ahead indeed.

26 May 2016 07:48:32
Will be really down and disappointed if pellegrini gets the job won nothing at malaga or villereal won 2 league cups and okay the league with city but most of the players were from mancinis cup winning squad and is to old imo no energy on the touchline and too laid back to energize any young team just my view just seems nobody wants the job all the names bandied about have gone to other teams it looks like moyes oh my god renewed my season ticket with extent about a new boss and what now.

26 May 2016 08:49:15
To be fair, he did an amazing job at Villareal and at Malaga. Did a good job at Real as well in the circumstances. He's underachieved at City but they do have a dysfunctional squad, which is almost inevitable if you try to buy success quickly as they did.

26 May 2016 09:02:04
You say he's won nothing at Villarreal and Malaga but they're like the equivalent of taking over the bournemouth's and crystal palace's and getting them into the champions league. Yes he had money at Malaga but again he got them champions league and he even broke the big 2 in Spain and ended up runners up on year. I think we could do A LOT worse!

26 May 2016 09:45:09
I don't understand the no energy part of the OPs post. I didn't know star jumps or break dancing in the technical area was a must for our new manager. Pellagrini, even though not my no1 choice, would be a very good fit.

26 May 2016 06:05:02
Does your club usually take a age to announce the next manager? Put £100 on frank de boer when he went out to 6/ 1 please tell me am in with a chance 🙏.

26 May 2016 06:30:58
in with a great chance mate, I think its between him and Pellegrini and I would have either, announcement before 1pm Friday (guessing) before I get mobbed, good luck Pinky.

26 May 2016 00:30:00
So, we want a manager with premiership experance, a manager who knows how to win competitions, a man who knows how to fix a leakey defence, givern the bottom of the barrals we know seem to be scraping, i give you LVG, available, no fee to pay, and with a point to prove.

26 May 2016 06:15:49
There's a reason he's available with a pint to prove. About 300 million reasons.

26 May 2016 06:37:14
LVG is also a cure for insomnia with his boring tactics. And he stated he will retire.
