Everton Rumours Archive May 22 2013

22 May 2013 22:15:25
Shortlist confirmed
Vitor Periera
Roberto Martinez
Roberto Di Matteo
Malky Mackay
Michael Laudrup
David Weir
Alan Stubbs
Phil Neville

By who? tv? No one knows anything. RW

Why is Bilic not on there?

Add Uncle Tom Cobley to the list please
The blue queen

I can't see Laudrup being on the short list. Neil Lennon more likely. Straight choice between Martinez and Pereira I'd say - with an in-house assistant.

Di Matteo please

Di Matteo - please no!

Bilic isn't on the lst because he's failing at Lokomotiv Moscow, which doesn't bode well for someone who we'd want to make Everton a contender in the Premier League.

And yet Martinez (who got relegated) and Mackay (who I don't rate since his time at Watford - where he failed as soon as the assistant at the time left) are on but not Bilic? I think he still has a win ratio of about 55-60%

DONT WANT NEVILLE, WEIR OR STUBBS

If nothing else svenny is getting people excited about who everyone appears to want! Yes it might be bs
but at least we as true blues are stating our expectations-lets hope bill visits this site! I got a feeling
we will know tomorrow. sweet dreams!
Mushy

Will we balls! Sky said we still have 5 candidates to interview!

22 May 2013 23:22:31
Oh so Sky said it so its true der you not really been following murdocks antics over last few years try reading from a
variety of sources you might get better picture
Mushy

22 May 2013 21:33:17
Sky are now saying there is 8 in the frame for the job. I don't think this pereira deal is as done as we think it is.

22 May 2013 21:14:32
Why is everyone massaging svennys ego? Nobody knows who the guy is he could just be spouting bolocks, either way let's just get it sorted now! COYB

Nah he's not he's not one of these guys who simply appears when there is a transfer window or some takeover rumours. There are certain people who post on here you know aren't spouting a load of crap and he is one of them.
Joe EFC

Well said la

I agree Joe. Stef the blue

Well I think he's talking BS. And I will be proved right. FACT.

I think he's chatting. Back in the day, people walked past Rumbelows window just to see themselves on the TV screens. It's the same thing, only now it's the internet. People crave attention and will lie to get it.

This svenny bloke is talking nonsense and the fact everyone is going on about it means what I already know, vast majority of non Ed contributors on here are dullets. baaaahhh. Yes, that's an attempt at a sheep noise {Ed025's Note - you have to realise that this is a rumours site, svenny has put up some information, you can choose whether to believe it or not, but dont slag off people who are trying to provide information for the benefit of others..

How can it be "for the benefit of others" if it's lies? Makes no sense whatsoever. {Ed025's Note - how do you know its lies?.

I agree its a rumour site, and its a bit of fun too, calm down peeps, your supposed to enjoy this site and count your self lucky we have such a place to come and enjoy, stop acting like spoilt kids, COYB

Rich84 {Ed025's Note - well said rich..

Nobody knows. But implying he's doing a public service is overstating it somewhat. Think there's a certain type of person who gets off on the notion that they're privy to 'inside' knowledge. Personally, I think this site's overrun with them.

22 May 2013 20:37:58
Reguarding the takeover it won't happen untill pereira in confirmed. Has the new manager. plus that kind of manager will want o bring in big signings

Your just putting 2+2 together as far as i'm concerned.

22 May 2013 21:42:57
do u even know what your talking about? "tht kind of manager will want big signings"? he's renowned for working on a tight budget at porto spending very little money, which is one reason he's ideal for everton

Yes I do know what m talking about not sure you don't lol

22 May 2013 19:09:50
Hi folks,
I can now confirm that pereira will be appointed everton manager very soon. let's make sure we all give bill kenright (& periera for that matter) a standing ovation first game of the season to say well done & express our thanks as fans for appointing the man who always was the fans choice. At the end of the day for all his faults, bill is a true everton fan just like you & me & like us he only wants what is best for our club, so credit where it's due. I'm not convinced it will finish there either, I now believe that a takeover of the club could happen as well. Happy days, exciting times ahead.

Ha, one step at a time Solomon! I hope your right though! In was thinking BK is making all this effort getting in a decent manager no expense spared on budget so he could get the price up for a potential takeover, because let's face it, it isn't worth what is was with Moyes, if we had martinez or lennon. so therefore I could see a takeover but think we are dreaming a bit, ( I know I spent most my day dreaming about it!)

How can you confirm this?!

Why are you trying to take credit for Svenny's information? If I'm not mistaken last night you were positive it was Lennon then promptly changed your tune once Svenny posted.

Lets hope mate an but our beloved blues back were we belong at the top coyb

I doubt someone with such appalling grammar would be privy to that kind of info.

How can you confirm? Source Solly?

He isn't British. From Portuguese league. No experience. Tradition ripped apart. This isn't good.
Not long term

If martinez leaves tomoz the job will b his I recon!

I'm with the 2nd reply on this one sorry Sol

I can confirm this information is true as I have official contacts, but for confidentiality reasons I am not allowed to expose them, although this development could still take a week to come to fruition as I am led to believe that bill intends to interview at least another 3 or 4 applicants for the job first including Michael laudrup before appointing hisv favoured option vitor, internal candidates have already been spoken too.

To the grammar cop have some respect mate you understood what the original post meant don't be so insulting. Stef the blue

I think its all bull to be honest, let's all laugh when after all his martinez becomes manager and svenny and his sheep stop posting there info from there solid sources

This is not confidential information re internal candidates being spoken to and interviewed. Alan Myers was talking about it on sly watched by millions of people so is hardly classified or confidential. You're just repeating what Svenny said as you were convinced it was Lennon. Sorry lad but you're talking b*******

I never wanted it to be Lennon mate, I was just passing on info from what richard buxton was reported as saying. my first choice has always been periera with laudrup as second choice. we shall see soon, I hope you like eating humble pie, lol

If Vitor is Bills favored option then why the need to interview another 3 or 4 candidates? And another thing surly to even get Swansea's permission to even talk to Laudrup Everton would need to meet the £10million clause in his contract which I can never see happening. It all sounds very suspect to me.

Why would I eat humble pie? Your information changed as soon as Svenny posted it was VP. You were emphatic in your assertion that it was Lennon then not 2 hrs later it changed. Now, the new guy might be VP, but you didn't provide that information, Svenny did. And show me where I disagreed it was VP? You can't because I didn't therefore I shan't be eating pie of any kind.

23 May 2013 13:34:29
Hope it is pereira I stuck £10 on him at 33/1 at the start of the week, metro have it online he's coming now too here's hoping.

http://metro.co.uk/2013/05/22/everton-set-to-appoint-porto-coach-vitor-pereira-as-new-manager-on-two-year-contract-3805027/

22 May 2013 17:37:48
So svenny, perieras our man then?

Looking like it! Exciting! jp

And he wants to bring some of Porto's youngsters with him. Exciting times

As I said yesterday, it's non domestic its done there are is now just one hold up with an announcement and that is the new manager to his old club stating to the fans that he won't be renewing in a press conference. I can't speak for my sources but 2/1 is a very smart bet for VP. It is my understanding that due to avoiding any compensation for the new man the announcement won't come for another week yet but if I had to put my house on it I would put it on VP. Please note I'm not encouraging anyone to bet on this I don't want that responsibility until its all finished anything can happen, but Moyes gave a recommendation of one on the premise the back staff remained that one was VP, VP has since signed a contract and now it's just a case of arranging the media requirements to publicly address his fans at Porto to say so. That for one excites me more about him than any of his winning percentages etc. re marquee signings Moutinho is not one so drop that dream but there will be two big signings before end of June.
I'm on my iPhone so didn't sign in but fortunately nobody has tried to copy my username and fortunately for the Eds I don't think they get many posts from Sweden.

Svenny

Pereira is second choice. The job is Martinez' to refuse which is why he he has stated he would give a decision on his future within 24 hrs as BK wants a man in place as soon as possible.

Not going to say no

Svenny

My god I hope this happens.

Thanks for all the posts Svenny - I put a little on Pereira but better than nothing! Hope everything works out with all the deal!

Also, if you're info is right Svenny, good on Moyes for recommending VP with old back room staff

Well Martinez can do one, who does he think he is to decide over Everton or Wigan, if your offered the Everton job you say YES not i'll let ya know in 24 hours. As far as I would be concerned that loses his decision to join us, go do one Ruburrrrrrtoe.

22 May 2013 20:06:31
In the words of that famous scouser. second choice my arse!

Svenny, I have been following your posts mate and believe you for the most of it, if you are right then thank you for keeping us updated with some real info.

Just one issue, yesterday you said you could not name any names or verify any names in relation to who the manager is. What has changed in 24hrs that your now happy to say it is VP in your posts among others, you seem a lot surer than you were? I can't see that there have been any developments that have meant you are able to name him now and not yesterday?!

What has keeping the staff got to do with moyes he is not our manager who gives a s**** what moyes thinks

I am able to name VP as it has been reported in several Portugese and Brazilian newspapers and the metro in the UK now that the meeting took place and that a pre contract agreement was made and agreed.
So it is public knowledge now where as when I was told of the meeting it was not.
Svenny

Apparently announcing tomorrow. Moutinho and Rodriguez signed from Porto to Monaco last night so the dismantling of the championship side has begun. Exciting times and a quality football manager. Coyb.

22 May 2013 17:36:11
Check this out Everton to appoint pereira has manger the source. Metro

22 May 2013 17:18:34
My cousin has just seen Roberto do Matteo coming out of a restaurant in London - shortly followed by Mr Kenright. I'd have him any day

As if BK would conduct an interview from a restaurant in broad daylight, no offence mate but I hope your cousin is mistaken in this case!

Why - he got sacked at west brom - lucky st Chelsea then got sacked again - left a fantastic squad in total disarray - why would you want that - an obsession with a foreign name!

22 May 2013 15:41:19
Club Call (10. 35am)

Reports in Portugal claim that Porto coach Vitor Pereira has a pre-contract agreement with Everton to become their new manager.

It has been suggested that contracts were established between his agent, Christophe Henrotay, and the Blues and it is also claimed that Pereira signed a pre-contract agreement with Everton two months ago. The coach has come to the end of his contract with Porto and having won the league title this season, it is now claimed he will come to Everton to replace Moyes, who has left the club after 11 years to join Manchester United. Pereira has been linked with the post before and the report in A Bola, a Portuguese sports newspaper, suggests a deal is in place for Everton to appoint the 44-year-old this summer. The article also claims that both parties can keep their options open, incase either side decides to pull out of the deal. Everton have also been strongly linked with a move for Wigan boss Roberto Martinez, with the Spaniard now being linked with the vacant manager's position at Stoke City.

martinez has been given 24hrs to make up his mind so bet you we get stuck with him #wewantvictor

22 May 2013 14:49:33
#hisnameisvitor. butiagree

''Given 24hrs''

What ever BK is, one thing he ain't is a hard nosed 'Alan Sugar' type of guy!

If he and Martinez have talked it would not end in an ultimatum.

Of course if this was a movie or someones fantasy

well then yeah, it would of went like 'take the job or I'll send some one round ok sucker'

Hee Hee Hee OP your'e a funny guy :)

To be fair to the OP, the story doing the rounds is that Dave Whelan has issued the ultimatum, not Uncle Bill, which does sound plausible.

22 May 2013 16:03:15
Stoke on Trent is beautiful this time of year and house prices are cheaper than Formby!

If he needs 24hours to make a decision between Everton and wigan he's not the man for the job

God help Stoke. Imagine converting that bunch of kicking donkeys into a "footballing" team. I love teams that play "football", "the right way" whilst in the bottom three and in freefall. The sight of easy on the eye football makes relegation so much more bearable to the fans. JP

22 May 2013 13:57:17
---Fox----------

Periera met with Kenwright Monday in London. Martinez will meet with Kenwright today week and then a decision will be made.

So whoever impresses Bill most in the interview stage will be the new manager!

Martinez has been given 24 hours to decide if he is staying with wigan or not, if he stays he won't be talking to bill anytime

22 May 2013 13:20:58
Vitor Pereira has a pre-contract agreement with Everton according to:
http://www.abola. pt/nnh/ver.aspx?id=403633

I had a look at this, and from my very very loose translation it seems this is about a situation where VP looked like he was going to end his season in Portugal on a low.

Everton was at that time an option he and his agents were exploring.

22 May 2013 12:07:52
Eurosport. Portugal reporting pereira has signed a 2 year contract to become Everton new manager looks like we have him

No it's not, DiscoDave

Most reports in Portugal are saying pereira is Everton new manager

22 May 2013 13:19:51
Vitor Pereira is the most likely next manager of Everton and may already have a pre-contract arrangement according to media

I told you this on Saturday.
O Azul

22 May 2013 11:56:38
Pereira has met with BK and remains the favoured option but BK and the Board are not rushing into an appointment, when there is no need to rush.
Everton taking the opportunity offered by the end of season to look at all options, including resources.
Stubbs, Lennon and Maclaren have all been considered and remain possible contenders but Pereira is the preferred man for the job. Whether fans like it or not but Tony Pulis' agent has been in touch with Everton. That doesn't mean he is going to be appointed or even considered

22 May 2013 11:40:03
Allan stubbs will be named new manager thursday with david weir his number 2

22 May 2013 11:05:06
Echo reporting that Klinnesmann is tipped for everton job also says Baines is staying another rumour I heard is that portugise news paper claimed Peirra has made an agreement with Everton to become the next manager. god my head is spinning and starting to hurt now.

22 May 2013 09:11:17
Pereira wants to bring milan pjanic from roma in a deal for 6 million. if he is named as the everton manager. also bringing in atsu, defour and mangala, he will sell jelavic, gueye, heitinga, naismith and buy some young upcoming talents and a striker.

If this actually happened, what a team! Bit ambitious though as those 4 players will add up to at least £50mil! I'd be happy enough with just the manager!

Have we had an investor I don't know about. sorry to burst your bubble but no chance of signing all them

How on earth do you know this? Where you there when the conversations were taking place?

I am sorry, but there is absolutely NO WAY you could know that, the only man that would know that is the new manager.

I mean surely Pereira would have to take a look at the squad first and see them in training before he goes you, you and you are sold?

Their is money available from tv rights etc. plus if we sell Fellaini, Naismith, Jelavic, Heitinga and Guye, we have enough for these players. I can feel something good is about to happen to our club, and I usually trust my senses

Rich84

22 May 2013 11:04:49
In an ideal world but there's no way you know all of that information. Are you BK himself?

Look I really hope this guy does come, but how the hell would you know his transfer targets! moyeies was in chharge for years and we never always got his choices!

Well there's 2 minutes of my life I'll never get back. not only have we already signed the new manager, but we've managed to offload the dead wood and bring in top quality players!

That's not a rumour, that's just fantastical nonsense

Pereira hasn't even been announced yet he's gone through our squad with a fine tooth comb and is sweeping out half our team. Rubbish. You are delusional if you seriously believe this. You post the same nonsense every other day, it doesn't make it any more believable the more you post it.

Milan pjanic would cost a hell of a lot moe then 6mill they wanted 25 of city in augest

22 May 2013 07:22:09
Stoke want Martinez, Yay!
Neville's been to see Kenwright about the Everton job. , Boo!

21 May 2013 23:13:38
Ed, there is a strong rumour on twitter that Pereira will be shown off by us on Thursday any truth? {Ed025's Note - i have not heard that dan, seems to soon to me mate, even if it is pereira..
