Stef and a few others, no if one of the back room staff don't want to work with him then it does not mean we will not hire him but contracts etc would have to be cancelled. Money wise we will have upwards of 30 mill for fees alone this is not just down to tv money, we also increased our match day revenues by about 16% this season with forecasts of further growth next season. I posted last night as there seems to be an impatience and a fear from a lot blues despite it only being 3 days since our season finished. Talks have been held an offer made and by all accounts it has been agreed, before anything is signed bk will inform the back room staff and get their input. Part of the agreement was a proof of funds hence the marquee signings.

'Joe efc' - I am not making it up mate, I have got my information from factual sources, truth be known I think we r all as everton fans getting a bit impatient & want an appointment sooner rather than later so it doesn't muck our pre-season plans up & also not a crap appointment from within but from outside & one that oozes quality. but pereira has definitely met with kenright yesterday so we shall just have to wait & see what transpires. One thing for sure, I certainly don't want Lennon as boss!

RickTee

Everton fc have been monitoring him for some months now although I don't think they truly thought moyes would actually leave. My hunch at the moment is that the lure of champions league & new promises from the porto board will probably make him stay at porto, which will be a great shame as he seems perfect for everton fc. Fingers crossed. {Ed025's Note - i like him as well solly mate..

The same site says he is likely to stay at Porto and that he has used the discussions to strengthen his negotiating hand with the Porto board e. g. Give me more money or I'm off. I is not even clear if he spoke to everton, though speaking with Kenwright would put him off.

Sorry folks, I may be wrong about lennon, I have now just heard that vitor pereira (who has always been my first choice for the job) has held talks about becoming the next everton manager with bill kenright at his office in London over the last couple of days, if you don't believe me check out the 'maisfutebol' website in Portugal. If bill pulls this one out of the bag I will be so happy as will so many other evertonians - come on bill do it for the fans if nobody else!! If he gets the job he wants to bring 'Atsu' with him. Exciting times ahead?
Believable17
Unbelievable4
Youre just making this up as you go along. if Lennon now meets with BK you'll come back on saying "I told you so" by the way apparently Periera has been offered an extension by Porto and is considering it although rumours are strong that he has met with Bill.
Joe EFC

Maisfutebol reported a few hours ago that Vítor Pereira held talks with two EPL clubs on Monday then flew back to enter into talks with Porto too. Maybe to tell them he is off, then again maybe playing games to get a better offer.

Well it is Everton pereira is going to be our new manager his also taking a highly rated player with him to Everton
Agree0

'' According to Portuguese tabloid Maisfutebol, Vitor Pereira has held talks with a ‘top half’ Premier League club in London yesterday and today, before flying back to his native land for a media open day.
The Porto manager has been linked to Everton over the last few weeks, and London is coincidently where Toffees Chairman Bill Kenwright conducts business.
It is also thought by Maisfutebol that Pereira may have changed the minds of the Porto directors after winning another league title, and now may have a contract extension offer on the table. The talks with the Porto directors are also going to discuss salary and his control over future players, which has been missing in his current two year reign.
Pereira’s Porto side went the whole of last season undefeated, winning the title in the process. He has a 67% win rate, although isn’t a big fans favourite with poor showings in European competitions. ''

Being held from 27th July to 7th August. After group stage it's a knockout tournament, not sure how many teams qualify from each group though.

Hi guys, a little bit of inside information for all you fellow blues, I will not state my name as I do not want trouble, I work in the Everton FC as a member of staff, it is known to a select few who the new manager is hoped to be, it will not be any1 who is currently employed by EFC however the new managers right hand man will, it will be announced before the end of the month fingers crossed, you won't be let down blues it's the right man in my opinion and also the new manger will have a nice budget to spend and will bring in at least 2 great signings.

Sorry to ruffle everyone's feathers, but I have just had it on good authority that we are about to appoint Neil Lennon as everton manager as he is kenrights preferred choice & was impressed with his European performances against the likes of Barcelona etc. & as I write this news, I've now been informed that Richard Buxton (merseyside football reporter) is saying the same, looks like its going to be Lennon then folks, you heard it first right here, watch this space.

Don't shoot me down and I can't give sources because last time I got in a whole pile of dog poo BUT I can promise you that don't trust bookies on this situation. They know nothing of this and they are abusing the situation by constantly changing favourites to get more bets, nobody outside the club knows anything. I can say that we will not be hiring anyone who is currently employed by the club, however negotiations with all the staff are ongoing to make sure they stay, this was Moyes recommendation to the board. The assistant might change but that's it everything else stays the same, some of the staff want to move on to get higher placed jobs eg Stubbs could move from reserves to assistant at other clubs.
The new manager is coming from a current short list of one and he has essentially already agreed terms, the delay is purely down to the club getting the backing of the staff and the new man will meet them next week. It's not from the prem and its not domestic.
Eds I think I have been fairly non committal with this one but if it needs to be taken down like the one I put up a few weeks ago then please be on guard to remove.
It's exciting bluenoses and we have cash, I mean real cash for the transfer market. Expect a new manager with two marquee signings closely followed by mid June.

Get in! I was about to write this of as BS but I have been on this site a long time now and I know who the reliable posters are, cheers Svenny mate. Obviously I have no club inside information but I've just read that Perriera was in London yesterday for talks with a "top 10 EPL club" I reckon its us as BK conducts his business there. I posted saying I thought it might be a couple more weeks before we get in a manager but fingers crossed this is true.

I also heard the same thing regarding the backroom staff being kept in place with Neville or stubbs as number two they don't want the new manager making wholesale changes and want continuity on moyes recommendation.

Give me some hints Ed, I have nt see who you think it is
Taysefc {Ed013's Note - I got a tip off last week that the squad have been told it is one of them, although I didn't believe it at first, it does make sense. Cheap option, nothing to lose and knows the club inside out. Who knows, he could get his brother down to coach!!! In January I thought it would be Martinez, but not so sure any more}

Moyes should shut up and the new man be allowed to manage!
Agree0

I can't say anything in terms of sources because I got in genuine trouble last time I did, I will write a completely seperate post tomorrow guessing who I believe the manager and the signings will be because I now know what I legally can and can't say but I have it from high places within the club that the decision has been made, the only delay is making sure that the back room staff will work with the new manager as he is happy to work with them.
Our books will show a profit for this season which with the fair play restrictions put us in a position to splash the extra tv cash unlike a lot of other clubs in and around us.
We will be pleasantly surprised by the summer and the ambition shown, whether it results in a positive in terms of achievements is obviously unknown but 3 things I can say are he is not a domestically based manager, he has agreed in principle with a budget to spend and Felli and Baines are going nowhere.
Svenny

So Neville then? I bloody hope not, not yet anyway can't think of any other members of the squad it could be.

21 May 2013 20:27:45
Also for those saying missed my last post, I post all the time with my opinions but a month back I posted about Moyes future and the selling situation of the club giving a bit too much info on my sources from within the club, within 12 hours I was threatened with legal action by said people and had to remove the post. I have no real emotional ties to my sources and have a huge emotional tie to my club and the fans are the club so I will continue to pass on info when I get it but I learnt lessons and can't name and shame like I did. Put it this way though I said Moyes was gone a month before he went, and he had told the club so. Not Utd based just that he was going
Svenny
Agree0

Maybe one of the signings is Rooney Stef the blue
Agree0

Yes I seem to remember Ed013 you said something along the lines ' how would you feel if it were one of the backroom staff' in response to a question. I thought it was a hint at the time. {Ed013's Note - Its a good possibility mate}
Agree0

This is getting to be a like an episode of Twin Peaks. (Wavertree Blue)
Agree0
Disagree0
It is solksjaer with p nev as his assistant
Agree0
Disagree0
So Svenny you know that there is a manager in place but you don't know who?
Agree0
Disagree0
So, speaking in hypothetical terms, if Pip/Weir/Stubbs/Dunc/Sheedy aren't keen on the idea or refuse to work with the proposed new manager, does this mean BK will not appoint said manager and we will not be signing 2 'marquee' signings (I'm thinking Moutinho and maybe Atsu, as examples)?
I know it has to be vague and you can't name sources as per your explanation, Svenny but, in that scenario, would the spotlight be focused on an alternative.
Agree0

How much will we have to spend Svenny?
Agree0

'Could bring his brother to coach'.
Hmmm. De Boer?!?

What you mean ed one of my team {Ed013's Note - meaning, someone that is currently a squad member}

No players will be signed or chased until a new manager is in place, I doubt Kenwright would chase a potential manager's wish list - given our budget. It doesn't even look like we are close to getting a new appointment. Martinez meets Dave Whelan next week, hopefully we won't get him. I think we will get a 'yes man' like Stubbs.
