Everton Rumours Archive October 24 2017

I see Thomas Tuchel's odds have shortened for next manager.

Interested in eds views on him as a manager. From the media hype I would be very excited (he's talked about in the same breath as some of the best in the world) . However when you look a bit further into it, he struggled at Dortmund, fell out with the board and was repeatedly accused of playing players out of position with negative effects (Portugal LB Gueirrero in CM as an example) .

Strikes me as sounding very similar to Koeman 18 months ago. What is eds view?

Are there any top managers from the continent that would be interested in the job? Is there any interest in Lucien Favre?

Thanks Ed!

{Ed002's Note - Tuchel has been a mixed bag as a manager and is yet again taking a year off. I don't see him joining Everton and I don't see Favre leaving Nice for Everton.}

Hi Ed who would you think we could get as our manager thanks.

{Ed025's Note - i think a lot would fancy it eddy, favre is a contender along with silva and tuchel i think, rhino is in the box seat for now so i think we should wait and see how he does first mate..

Thanks Ed. Shame about Favre - I've been following him a bit since you brought him to my attention on this site when Martinez left and seems like he has been doing excellent things at Nice. Liverpool in winter is a tough sell from south of France as well!

You spoke about Favre last time - who do you think would be a good choice this time round?

{Ed002's Note - I think he would be a great choice but I don't see it happening.}

I think we already have our next manager in place, his name is Rhino, like Ed said I would sit back and wait to see how Rhino does before jumping into the fire too quickly.

Do we even know if Rhino wants it long term? He loves the club. If it doesn't work out that will most likely be his career at Everton over. I'm not sure he'd be willing to risk that. Sure he'll take it as a temporary but I'm not even sure he'd accept if it was offered long term.

I think he would rip your arm off for the job. I think he said after the Norwich game he would love the job but it's out of his hands. If he did get the job and it didn't work out, I'd like to see him kept at the club tho, back into the coaching set up.

24 Oct 2017 13:00:37
That is a major concern for me too. Unsworth has done a great job at U23 but I think with this current crop of players in the form they are giving him the job full time may not be the best for his long term progression. Would love to see him succeed though.

24 Oct 2017 14:55:04
He has stated he wants it.

24 Oct 2017 20:26:41
David comes over very confident that he can get Everton winning matches again he must of known of the problems with Koeman.

am I the only one who doesn't see the hype behind tuchel? he took a newly promoted team to upper mid table then walked away then got Dortmund job did ok then left I want our next appointment to be long term someone who has a plan and sees it threw, plus if your going off what he did at Mainz then isn't that very similar to what dyche has done up to now? all's am saying is I want the right man for the job not the most well known name. Unsworth for me full time if not then dyche has earned his chance at a club on the next rung than Burnley ( no offence to burnley)

24 Oct 2017 12:05:28
What does "long term" mean in this day and age? It's an unrealistic requirement. We want the best man for the job. Obviously we want to get it right and obviously have a long reign. But that's something that happens very rarely. So I'll just settle for a manager that takes us forward.

24 Oct 2017 14:32:18
Tuchel was disapointed his board took no consideration for shock or players feeling after the bomb attack. He left because he felt wronged. Now I think he can't be just or not seeing it through. He never got a pay off 3rd 2nd and a cup after klopp had a disaster seems strong to me.

{Ed001's Note - that is not true, he left because he was on the verge of the sack anyway. He had fallen out with half the club and his constant tinkering with tactics had lost him the playing staff. The board were forcing him out and he knew it. That is why he is still unemployed, because the kind of club he thinks he deserves has no interest in hiring him. I would steer well clear if I was Everton. It would be very much like rehiring Koeman.}

by long term I mean someone who doesn't see us as a stepping stone, am sure unsworth would see us as a long term job and would we himself taking us forward, even dyche I think would be excited to take over us and take us forward. the likes of ancelotti would only be here to restore reputation before moving on again as soon as possible, tuchel would be hoping to do well with us with the hope of landing arsenal after Wenger or united after Jose, I no it's not as exciting for some people but we need someone who is at least going to try and see us as a project they can get fully immersed into and not a good opportunity to advertise themselves.

Any English manager would be grateful for the job. doh! Because British managers rarely get top jobs. Think you need a reality check mate. So you want a manager for 20 years Who is English and loves EFF? Great! See you in league 1. Idiotic hopes.

24 Oct 2017 17:22:31
Best not have a manager with ambition. delusional.

25 Oct 2017 00:44:08
Ed01 he walked before a payoff really your wrong makes no sence.

{Ed001's Note - how does it make no sense? You get the sack from a job like he had and it affects your reputation. It also helps that he was unhappy because he was at loggerheads with the board. No one wants to stay in a job where they are unhappy and he could afford to do without the payoff. Not everyone puts money first.}

25 Oct 2017 08:09:41
why will we be in league one if we have an English manager for 20 years? hahahaha.

29 Oct 2017 06:08:21
Who would you suggest e that is realistically achievable ed1?

{Ed001's Note - my suggestion was Gasperini of Atalanta. They are not in a position to turn down offers and he knows that they cannot reasonably expect to compete in the long term.}

Thanks ed1.

Also where has Roger Schmidt gone to (I think China? ) ? Always loked him when he was at Leverkusen and I think he would be a good appointment for Everton.

Cheers.

{Ed001's Note - Beijing Gouan mate. One of the bigger Chinese clubs so he might be out of reach financially.}
