Look we have to be realistic here are we in a postion to attract an ancelotti type manager? And would he come to us?, i really don't think we are. Unsworth and dunc have the respect of the playes and most of all, us the fans. I've never known toxic atmospheres like we've had with the last 2 managers, even in moyes' worst days it was never as bad . These 2 fellas gave everything for our club, put these 2 in charge and the grand old lady will rock again . coyb.

He can always stay out of work until Wenger quits. I see no reason why he wouldn't come. 1st season is now of lowered expectations. As people seem to believe this is a relegation battle, a top 10 finish is surely success.

His English is good so no worries there. No compensation to pay. And he knows the league. We would never be able to sign him from a big job but as he's on the dole. I think we would have a chance. It's not like he would be coming to a club that isn't trying to be a big club again.

would love Everton football club to come out right now and say unsworth has the job and has full backing to take this club to the top, hate caretakers roles I no it makes sense but just imagine the boost we would have with all the u23s knowing they can play there way into the first team and am telling u know we have the best crop of talented kids playing together since Beckham and the Nevilles came threw at united.

I do like unsworth, people are saying he has no experience? u23s can be harder than the first team sometimes, I would give him till January, if we are happy with him then give him the job, I just don't want the rubbish managers that move from club to club,

I agree with both of you. Despite the takeover we aren't any richer than the teams above us, so the only way for us to keep up is to produce, play and attract quality youngsters. Unsworth is the perfect man to do that.

Everyone is literally above us at the minute.

Some very naïve views in my opinion. The U23's is a very long way from managing premier league first team. You are dealing with high earning international players, often demanding with big ego's. The board are looking to take the club up a level and want a manager that reflects this. Unsworth has done a magnificent job and is undoubtedly a blue through and through as is Dunc, but you will probably find the board will look for more experience.
For comparison look what's just happened to Shakespeare at Leicester?

We will have the fans picking the team next.

So, who do you want then Wakka, just out of interest?

We won't be getting an Ancelotti. Dyche and Howe have as much experience of managing a big club with high expectations as Unsworth has, and none of the others, including Tuchel, appear to be anything to write home about. For every Mourinho there's a Villas Boas, so recruiting someone with no experience of Premier League football is a poor decision in my opinion. People forget, our most successful managers have been former Everton players. Unsworth knows the club and the fans. Knows all of the players and the expectations. Sometimes it's about the right person at the right time, irrespective of pedigree and experience.

I said last night on here that I heard snippets that Koeman was going and now from what I am hearing is that EFC are very interested in Chris coleman - as they say do not shoot the messenger.

Was just thinking about maybe getting Coleman in, has done a great job for Wales, what does everyone else think?

{Ed025's Note - totally different ball game to managing in the prem oli...and has failed in the past...massive no for me mate..

23 Oct 2017 15:52:09
Not for me mate, Prems a different world to the odd international. Need someone who is use to winning things as a manager.

I’d like Sean Dyche if that’s how u spell it!

23 Oct 2017 18:20:11
I wouldn't really want him myself to be honest, Silva would be my number one choice but I think he's too good a bloke to leave mid way through his first season. Unsy til Xmas see how he does think is the most sensible answer.

Dyche is probably the best of the British managers and I think would work well with DU. However he is not proven in the upper division of the PL in terms of cups or euro qualification. His time will come I am sure but perhaps not with us. Apart from Dyche I would not go for a UK manager. I want us challenging for trophies and being a regular club in europe. For me it has to be a manager with good european experience with good man management abilities. Shame Koeman did not have all those qualities and I am sure he is not a bad manager. Just not sure the Dutch mentality suits the EPL. let's face it we do have some softies in the EPL who don't like being shouted at or told to buck up lol.
