Well if it is Allardyce and maybe Shakespeare then Walsh will have gotten his way so maybe he will stay. Not a great combination I would think. Ed002, have always valued your input, what do you think about this possible team?

{Ed002's Note - if it is going to happen there will likely need to be a two and a half year contract, and that might well be a sticking point. But I would trust SA to get the defence organised and get Everton out of their immediate trouble. He is also a strong character and more of a manager who does some coaching so should be able to hold his own. If he does arrive then I would expect CA to come in as head coach. SA will also want to sort the squad out a bit in January.}

Ed002 - I agree with your comments. By the way, do you mean CS rather than CA as head coach?

{Ed002's Note - Yes.}

If we are going down that route would 100% rather go with Shaun Dyche he shown he can build a team and also plan for the future with him spending incoming transfer money on the academy he fits the job more than Big Sam and would rather pay big money for him now rather than pay Big Sam a fair few million in 12 months.

{Ed002's Note - I agree but Burnley will not want to lose their manager part way in to the season.}

Agreed ed I cannot believe it has come to this ed it’s a real shock and am sorbto say that fans need to take some blame too we forced them into sacking Martinez and it was going the same way with koeman. The club needed time to challenge the top 6 create some foundations then build on them. But now look at us running round like our defence off the pitch no cue and no direction if we do appoint Big Sam we can expect Steve Walsh to stay in his dof role as it’s been stated for The 5 weeks Big Sam is his choice.

It will be interesting to see what he does with a bigger budget. can't think of another club where he'd have been backed as much?

If Everton were really interested in Dyche - and if reports of his “compensation amount” were correct - then surely he’d have been appointed as manager weeks ago. I can only imagine that our chairman or major shareholder or a “recruitment advisor” has decided that Dyche is absolutely not the man for the Everton manager’s position - but what that reason could be is a complete mystery to me.

Not even Palace took Dyche on. Something not right.

Don’t forget Walsh and Shakespear were vital to Leicester winning the prem 2 seasons ago doing the jobs there good at.
