Everton Rumours Mobile

19 Oct 2019 10:49:11
So the latest gossip today, from a source with the club, apparently we are in talks with Mark Hughes to take over if we lose our next couple of games, personally i don't think he is the man to lead us forward, hopefully its a bad rumour.

19 Oct 2019 11:08:35
This fella always seems flummoxed and fresh out of ideas these days , just cannot see it mate .

19 Oct 2019 11:17:42
And the award for 'Best wind up' goes to (drumroll) . imperialblue.

19 Oct 2019 11:31:25
That would be dreadful. if true.

19 Oct 2019 11:35:28
More likely to hear Brexit passed.

19 Oct 2019 12:26:03
Don't want to shoot the messenger but that's just a wind up that! Mark Hughes? As long as he brings Rowett with him then at least some fans will be happy!

19 Oct 2019 16:50:35
Hughes! What has he ever achieved as a manager to grace our beloved club? No thanks. Must be a wind up lol.

19 Oct 2019 08:54:34
A report out this morning says that Massimilano Allegri the ex Juventus boss has been approached from an agent acting for Everton on wether he would be interested in becoming our manager hmmm.

19 Oct 2019 10:23:12
Dont think it would ever happen, but just imagine.

19 Oct 2019 11:18:17
He's nailed on for the United job when Ole gets the sack in Monday.

19 Oct 2019 11:29:40
Not so sure of that Bluescouser mate.

20 Oct 2019 08:27:28
Would love it if it happened GB it’s probably just journos looking for clicks, worked on me as after you posted I had a look round reports of agents approaching his representatives reports of his agents contacting ours then other reports stating he’s learning English for a role in the premiership and was at the Munich demolition of spurs
So not impossible but more likely to not happen
Always good to hear rumours from you GB it’s what we are here for 😁.

18 Oct 2019 21:52:14
Just a query anything still in the pipeline with the young Brazilian lad we was being linked with.

16 Oct 2019 08:24:34
Ed's do you know if there's any truth in rumours that Monaco are to recall sidibe back from his loan with us.

{Ed002's Note - Djibril Sidibe (RB) wants out and Everton are very unlikely to take up their option - Monaco have Milan saying they will take him on a loan to buy in January. It would be best for the player.}

16 Oct 2019 09:22:41
cant blame him, coleman ahs been terrible and he's still not getting a look in.

17 Oct 2019 08:15:08
How much do attitudes such as Sidibe’s have on other players? Not that i'm blaming him for wantibg out.

{Ed002's Note - Sidibe doesn’t have an attitude problem Hugo. Players are transient employees of the club and it is not at all uncommon to find players unhappy they are not playing.)

17 Oct 2019 11:09:58
Apologies, I wasnt trying to imply that Sidibe is in the wrong by any means, or that he is unprofessional in his attitude. Just wondering the effect that a player’s attitude has on the squad?

{Ed002's Note - What attitude are you referring to?}

17 Oct 2019 14:26:18
why would his frustration of not playing have an affect on the squad? every player in world football whose not playing has frustrations of not playing, in every club?

17 Oct 2019 14:38:48
His wanting out. Just wondered if that kind of vibe affected football teams, generally. isn't Everton-related, just curious from a sports psychology viewpoint.

{Ed002's Note - Players come and go all of the time - from a psychology standpoint he is a transient player - rather like all of the others. There is no vibe being encountered by the other players. Perhaps the occasional damp patch.}

17 Oct 2019 14:45:21
Damp Patch? Hmmmm, Yea that's my new nickname for DC 😜.

17 Oct 2019 15:18:07
I understand! I've always wondered about that, ditto players who read gossip about themselves/ team-mates in the paper. Must be a weied dynamic! Thanks as always, Ed.

{Ed002's Note - Few of the Everton players can read so it won't adversely impact them Hugo.}

17 Oct 2019 20:57:11
🤣 that had me chuckling Ed
Got to say I do prefer to read a player is frustrated with his lack of game time, to me that shows he wants to make a difference and get some game time and not just be collecting his wages warming the bench!

17 Oct 2019 22:17:59
Enjoyed that toi, Ed! can't imagine its too many that have quite picked it up yet!

11 Oct 2019 11:27:04
More rumours circulating this morning re a new manager, the latest being Shaktar Donesetsk Jose Boto stating Marco has three games to turn our very poor start around, these being West Ham and Brighton in the League and then Watford in the Cup, in another report Jose is once again being linked that he has already found another Club in England with it being touted that he would have more money with us to buy players as against Spurs, personally I don't think Marco will get Three games to me West Ham could well be his last match if we loose he will be gone.

11 Oct 2019 13:20:35
Next job for Silva, Scotland Manager.

11 Oct 2019 13:57:57
BCT I'll hazard a guess, you are not Scottish then mate?

11 Oct 2019 14:33:47
GB not sure why we’d look to appoint a guy who has been a chief scout for the last 9 years, surely we should be looking for an actual manager?

{Ed002's Note - There would be no intention of appointing Jose Boto as a coach - if his name has come up at Everton I know exactly who would have put it to the owner. I am not aware of any approach to Shakhtar Donetsk but Boto is well thought of as a Head of Scouting.}

11 Oct 2019 15:02:37
Sky, he is staying so depressed.

11 Oct 2019 15:07:47
Now being reported that that he would offered a role under Marcel in an attempt to a reshuffle.

{Ed002's Note - A reshuffle of what - the coaching set up?}

11 Oct 2019 15:42:50
It just says he would be put in the scouting under Marcel as he was very well versed when it came to finding talent from Brazil.

{Ed002's Note - Really, what a strange thing to say. He is a well respected scout who works as a. Head of scouting. If Everton intend to simply throw him in on that basis, if he were to consider the drop in level to Everton, don’t expect him to hang around for too long.}

11 Oct 2019 16:54:04
As a chief scout Ed mate.

09 Oct 2019 15:28:39
A name I've not seen mentioned as manager if/ when Silva departs, is Gareth Southgate.
I'm sure i read a few months ago that he would like another shot at club management.
Does anybody know if he would be in contention? Thoughts on getting him?
Personally i am concerned by his previous club stints, but he really seems to be blooming since taking over England.

09 Oct 2019 16:15:06
Decent shout Worcester.

{Ed002's Note - You can put Gareth Southgate out of your thoughts. He won't be joining Everton.}

09 Oct 2019 16:54:55
Thats a shame, but i guess with a big international tournament on the horizon, it really isn't a surprise. More likely available next summer after the Euros?
I think my other big shout of someone who could do a great job is Marcelo Bielsa at Leeds. High quality manager and really have no idea why he took a job in the Championship.
Let's face facts though, Silva could well stay for the rest of the year. It only takes 3 or 4 good results to turn things around and this team is more than capable of that! I really wouldn't be surprised to see him finish the season with us, a mid table finish but adding a cup, he seems to be going all out for the Carabao judging by starting line-ups.

09 Oct 2019 17:07:18
We had one ex England manager, that was enough.

09 Oct 2019 17:22:54
Would not even want him in my thoughts.

09 Oct 2019 17:36:08
Ok Charlie, never employ another ex England manager again regardless of how amazing they could be. Very intelligent thinking to rule people out because Allardyce was once a manager there.

09 Oct 2019 17:47:09
Just shows the Logic in some shouts Worcester mate, but hey its a game of opinions lol.

09 Oct 2019 18:03:49
Steve Gibson had to sack him, Gibson doesn't fire from the hip so to speak, league footy is a bit different methinks .
Not for me anyway.

09 Oct 2019 21:53:06
He’s not even a good England manager😂.

09 Oct 2019 23:37:16
Southgate is an awful manager. Best thing he has done is beat Colombia on penalties. Would actually rather have Gary Megson.

10 Oct 2019 15:52:27
why would you want gareth southgate?

10 Oct 2019 17:18:06
Gallardo, the Ajax manager or Benitez for me.

11 Oct 2019 01:47:27
I don’t think Southgate would leave the England job nor would he be sacked easily, as he was coached specifically for that job for years. All from coaching youth England teams to U21’s specifically brought through by the FA to do things how they want going forward (basically a yes man) Working so far!

11 Oct 2019 01:50:05
Mourinho for me as we can’t risk taking a chance on another unknown or up and coming manager. The excuses need to stop and Mourinho or Benitez are proven at the top.

11 Oct 2019 04:58:59
Adi Hutter for me.

11 Oct 2019 07:03:15
Not a good Club Manager and a 'Yes' man, ideal for the FA neanderthals. Still Benitez for me, Gallardo by another poster a good call as well.

11 Oct 2019 22:36:53
Southgate seriously what has he done in management win a few matches against average opposition, there would be managers I would rather take in the championship than him.

12 Oct 2019 11:14:33
A huge no. International football is so different to club football. Look at Martinez. People forget how bad of a manager he was at club level because he's more successful in an international set up with Belgium.

{Ed025's Note - i still think if he could have sorted our defence out he would still be with us BT, offensively he was very good and we played attractive stuff but he needed help with the back four which was awful, we have become a graveyard for managers who all get bogged down by the weight of expectation mate and it will need someone very special to buck that trend..

13 Oct 2019 19:17:54
Martinez was and is an excellent footballing coach, if only as Ed says he (Martinez) had sought a decent defensive coach, he would still be here. Martinez was asked to leave while we were 11th, we are currently 18th yet this guy continues to be teflon coated.

09 Oct 2019 08:06:48
Being reported Newcastle interested in resigning Lewis Gibson. Report says he left Newcastle after falling out with Peter Beardsley and now he has left is interested in returning. Also goes on to say good friends with Longstaff brothers.

09 Oct 2019 19:14:23
He should be in our first team, or at least getting a few odd games, very good composed young centre half.

08 Oct 2019 21:30:33
Ten Hag from Ajax being the latest new name to be linked.

09 Oct 2019 09:24:10
No chance i'm afriad, why leave the ajax side playing good football mid season, whilst they are still in the ucl (looking comfortable) can't see it.

09 Oct 2019 09:24:38
also feel this is the media putting 2+2 together and getting 7 just thinking of a dutch link for brands.
