In response to Eds suggestion below, I did some research on Lucien Favre. Other than being vaguely aware that he did good work at Gladbach I can't say I know too much about him.

He's been credited with reviving a sleeping giant in German football (Gladbach) and taking them from relegation material to champions league in a few seasons. He's also credited with developing Marco Reus and Ter Stegen through the youth system.

This is a very good article on his tactics at Gladbach for those interested. Sounds perfect for Everton and reminds me of what Leicester are doing this season.

My only worry would be how different he is from Martinez in his tactics - potentially putting the likes of stones and Barkley back in their development having spent the last few seasons learning a more possession based style.

I for one think that this guys style is more suited to our play. And he's available! Great shout Ed, thanks for the heads up!
