realistic new manager

[Boss]

Benitez

Might as well keep Wenger if we're seriously discussing getting this clown in.

As for options I've like, Hiddink or Van Gaal would be perfect. Wouldn't mind Klopp either, he's done a very good job at BVB.

Would not mind Moyes if he was backed with a couple players as suggested above, he's never had access to decent money (Everton net spend over the last five years is 200k per season) and I think he'd do well given the chance to step up.

how has everton's defence looked over the last few seasons?

Over the last 5 years (goals conceded)...

2010-11; Arsenal 43, Everton 45
2009-10; Arsenal 41, Everton 49
2008-09; Arsenal 37, Everton 37
2007-08; Arsenal 31, Everton 33
2006-07; Arsenal 35, Everton 36

Pretty impressive given his spend and given that they can't attract the same caliber of player (if we ever decided to go in for top players, which we don't).

However, I think the only way we can get a real feel-good factor around the place is to bring back an old face. I'd say Graham as an interim manager. Long-term I'd say Bergkamp or Adams.

oh god stop with this madness. we'd need a good manger, not some plums from the past. we are not liverpool. you think this current batch of player even know who graham/adams are?

if wenger went tommorrow id look at ancelotti.

[BOBN]

Not read what everyone has said but seen enough to already piss me off. Realistically their is only one manager in the world that is beyond us, Sir Alex- and even he was gagging to come at a certain point. We remain the third richest club in the world...

ummm, no.

[BOBN]

Did Mourinho spend lavish amounts when he was at Porto? Is it right to say his success is based only on his transfer budget or is it better to say that wealthy clubs approached him because he proved himself to be a great manager? Should he have refused the budgets at Chelsea and Madrid in order to preserve some saintly stature? That sounds more like Wenger and look where he is and look at the state of our team. Mourinho was a winner before he had the cash.

yes, he comfortably outspent his domesic rivals.

chequebook manager. hes wouldnt be stupid enough to take the arsenal job.

[Flavs]

Good read, particularly the insanely stupid parts

In other words, no he didn't, hence the introduction of the domestic rivals clause.

[BOBN]

look stop talking about mourinho, he wouldnt come here in a million years. he doesnt do limited budgets these days and why should he.

Nice try, but that is a position most held here for a long long time - because it is true.
