Everton Rumours Mobile

09 Dec 2019 22:37:40
SSN reporting that we are in advanced talks with Vittor Pierra (spelling whatever his name is) and he could be in place by the weekendt.

10 Dec 2019 07:53:56
I hope this isn't the case as it sounds like a massive gamble by Everton to appoint a coach with no experience of any of the big European leagues. His time at 1860 Munich was in the 2. Bundesliga.

One other thing I also noticed when looking through his previous managerial positions was the mention how Kia Joorabchian the Iranian super agent was exerting influence over the 1860 Munich owner Hasan Ismaik. how worryingly familiar this sounds.

The biggest concern I have about our club at the moment is how Moshiri, Kenwright and Brands all have their separate visions about the managers position and how the club should be run.

Starting to miss the stability of the Kewright/ Moyes years!

09 Dec 2019 10:40:49
Reports Emery was approached and informal talks held
Surely this is just drivel from a journo to create a story.

09 Dec 2019 12:01:07
God I hope not.

{Ed047's Note - I hope NOT for your sake either Dentie!

09 Dec 2019 13:35:47
Arsenal's worst run in 40yr and we supposedly want him as manager. Isn't mike Walker available instead.

09 Dec 2019 11:14:42
ST, ssn are saying, ''wants more time to think about it''
I 'wants' Ed02 to tell 'us' not to think about it personally 😔.

{Ed002's Note - I am travelling and can't think who I could call to confirm this, but it would be a club choice rather than the advisors who I know well. Emery would demand money and a great deal of control over transfers. One of the reasons clubs don't want to hand over full control over the transfer of players is that they don't want to refresh the squad when the coach changes. I can't see it would be a good solution but I will try and find out.}

09 Dec 2019 17:19:28
Think it was Dick Emery, Moshris advisor wanted to change his milkman.

09 Dec 2019 17:30:38
Cheers Ed, much appreciated.

09 Dec 2019 18:12:02
But didn't Emery have most of his success with Sevilla with a DoF?

09 Dec 2019 19:30:26
Right over heads.

09 Dec 2019 20:56:57
Emery says he needs more time to decide his next job. Someone leaks that Pereira is close to joining us.
Que Emery accepting the job.

{Ed025's Note - lets hope not smit..

09 Dec 2019 21:10:50
I’d have Emery over Periera, not keen on Periera at all. Saying that of the attainable coaches he’s still up there even after the Arsenal blip. Moyes, Periera don’t fill me with excitement.

10 Dec 2019 01:56:25
I think I agree with you gibbo. He's had a nightmare at Arsenal but before Arsenal Emery had a very good CV and was highly regarded.

I've only read Pereira's CV on the Echo and it's not that exciting - some successes but lower leagues and he's not stayed anywhere too long

Out of the 2 I'd say Emery if he has recovered enough from Arsenal but hopefully there are others in the hat that appeal more.

08 Dec 2019 08:09:03
Great result yesterday, lots of passion and energy shown by the lads.
I'd give big Dunc the united game and let's see how he sets them up with a weeks training under his belt.

I'm hoping the 442 disappears, we were outnumbered in the middle yesterday and on another day chelsea could have scored a couple more.

Away from home we will need to win the battle in the middle for sure and with the same passion and energy we can get something from Old Trafford.

08 Dec 2019 11:27:04
Smitt the 442 did disappear he took off Ricky for Tom. 442 got us into a position to win 451 meant we held on to that lead. Good in game management if you ask me. We were at home so starting with 442 for me is aggressive formation that sends a message to us as fans and the opposition, Everton are going to try to win the game. Away from home like you I would expect a different set up we do have quite a good counter attack when we are on form. Great start by big Dunc I think he may have seen his stock rise with both the management and some of the supporters that thought he may have been part of the problem with ex managers. If we want a manager with passion that loves the club he certainly provides that. I'm made up for the guy. Definitely one for the future in my opinion.

08 Dec 2019 12:02:39
Smit I don't care what was reported about the bond between the players and Silva, their just had to be a problem. For Ferguson to get the likes of Schneiderlin playing so much better speaks volumes to me. At present we have problems in the middle because of injuries but if all the players show the same passion, energy and desire that they show yesterday we will have little problem getting results and moving up the table. Hopefully we can recruit some good additions in January.

08 Dec 2019 12:06:46
While he get points Smit let him have a bit of a run mate, It will be interesting to see what he does at Utd .

Btw Smitty when DC sees you using his 'avi' he will go ape lol 🤣.

08 Dec 2019 13:54:44
I thought he made some very astute changes. Firstly was the 442 set up. Secondly we stopped pushing up to the half way line and getting caught out with the simple ball over the top. At least 3 of Liverpools goals were that simple. a simple ball over the top or through the middle and our defenders too slow to turn and defend. Thirdly, he stopped this stupid roll out of the ball from Pickford and the never ending crossfield passes that look like we will lose possession and concede. Forthly, we pressed. We pressed as a team. not just one or two players. we got into them in every position until we went back from 442 to 451. Finally DCL with Richy just behind him worked a treat. DCL looked this good in one other game this season but has toiled hard for little result over the season. mainly because he has been on his own. Sometimes he had wingers. but noone besides him to lay it off to. Yes this game Dunc got things right. let's see if he can continue now.

08 Dec 2019 13:54:57
Dunc probably told Morgan he would kick him round the training ground if he didn’t put a proper shift in!
To have pride in himself the shirt and the badge! And to earn the bloody good wages he’s paid!

08 Dec 2019 15:23:48
It was good to see him switch the formation to see out the game. Silva never had that in him.

I'd love him to get the United game, I'll be there and would love it if we could go and get something from that game. Even a draw would build confidence and start a bit of a run.

As for the Avatar, I picked it a few games ago (when things looked bad) but it has only just been approved.
Another win and I might have to change it back.

08 Dec 2019 15:48:11
Duncan Ferguson made it simple, no over complicated tactics, play for each other, if you lose the ball, chase it down, simple football that gets over complicated by Managers.

I would give Dunc the Leicester cup game without a shadow of doubt.

Yesterday the players got their identity and self belief back.

Let’s not rush in straight away for a new Manager, at least give Dunc a couple of games.

08 Dec 2019 16:35:26
You can have what ever formation you want, but Dunc got a performance out of every single player yesterday, the intensity was first class and what won us the game yes they could of scored more but so could we. Nice to see 442 and then change it later on, good in game management.

09 Dec 2019 21:02:32
I'd give big Dunc until the end of the month. United have got some form and Leicester are a great side, but Arsenal, Burnley and Newcastle could/ should be winnable. Then that gives the board plenty of time to select a new manager if they decide to go that way.

07 Dec 2019 19:12:26
SNS saying Periera is on the short list of Mr Moshiri for our next manager and is due for talks, any ideas who the other three are.

07 Dec 2019 20:39:31
Now saying Ancelotti is on the list.

07 Dec 2019 12:35:58
Kovac is at the game 👀.

07 Dec 2019 14:59:53
Is he in the frame for us.

07 Dec 2019 16:32:52
According to the 'Echo' GB he's on some sort of PL fact finding mission mate, fresh from getting the sack .

07 Dec 2019 17:00:03
Cheers mate.

07 Dec 2019 16:55:07
Hi Ed’s what’s your thoughts on him good fit? Don’t know much about him. Not sure he’s here on holiday watching Everton v Chelsea with your agent when a manager has recently Been sacked.

{Ed002's Note - He is of no interest to Everton. He is not on holiday but has been attending games across Europe.}

07 Dec 2019 18:03:44
Cheers Ed some timing to come and watch us. Bookies making a fortune because of it 😂😂. I don’t think Moyes will be coming in Ed as he wan ta a longer deal than 6 months.

{Ed002's Note - I suspect you are right about the timescales.}

06 Dec 2019 17:57:39
Paulo Sousa being strongly linked with us that name should cheer a few up on here lol.

06 Dec 2019 19:03:43
He’s actually a very good manager GB. Solid at the back as I remember from his season in charge at Swansea.

06 Dec 2019 19:32:46
Yep he does have a Good CV mate, really good to see us linked with some Class Managers.

06 Dec 2019 19:42:00
Seems to have had a few sackings and never stayed anywhere too long.

06 Dec 2019 20:02:38
I think there are more being interviewed mate.

07 Dec 2019 09:06:59
I would prefer to see someone with more PL experience, however the ones we are linked with I think Sousa could be ok. I was hoping for a more established manager, don't think we are able to attract the kind of person we need, which is a shame, its a case of hopefully we can strike it lucky with the next appointment. Really poor planning from the club, I can understand why no top or even half decent manager would want to join, we are in such a bad negotiating position.

06 Dec 2019 16:07:06
Being reported that we have got in touch with Marcelino, s agent and they are. Interested, another great name in the hat.

05 Dec 2019 22:37:04
Ed 002 are these links to Vitor Pereira true and if so is this Moshiri's advisors choice. What do you think of him as a manager.

{Ed002's Note - (a) I don't know. (b) It would be the second advisor. (c) Journeyman good for a year or two as the first choice is not keen.}

06 Dec 2019 11:05:11
With you totally on this 002,also I feel that you need somwone who know the prem when fighting relegation and we are.

06 Dec 2019 11:23:55
Can you name the first choice Ed? Cough once if its
Moyes!

06 Dec 2019 11:32:48
Are you able to say who the first choice is? I know you say they aren’t keen but it would be interesting to see who the club are aiming for. Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Marcelino.}

06 Dec 2019 11:57:21
and this is the problem the first choice not keen and plumping for second choice which will just put us back into the same situation we have had over the last 4 years. I would be happy if Brands had the control of our new manager choice and not FM or any of his advisors. What is the point of getting Brands if he can't make the decisions he has been employed to do?

06 Dec 2019 14:13:28
sa90, if your first choice doesn't want to come then what do you do? wait forever and beg him until he does? you move down your list.

06 Dec 2019 14:42:14
I have to be honest and feel that nobody stands out but Moyes for 18 months to steady the ship would be good. We know what he does so give 18 months to organise the club then maybe a smothing more adventurous. The important thing is to stay in this league and not gamble.

06 Dec 2019 16:45:19
Id let Brands make the decision which currently may not be the case. If he decided to go for his second choice then so be it. The earlier post intimated the FMs advisors were putting managers forward not Brands.

{Ed025's Note - to be honest sa it was brands who endorsed silva, he has also signed some pretty average players for us and to be frank has overall been very underwhelming mate, i dont know whether his hands have been tied or not but his reputation has far outweighed his actual effect on us..

06 Dec 2019 21:01:08
Couldn't agree more👍.

06 Dec 2019 21:01:36
Eds25 in fairness marcel brands has had a lot of deadwood to clear and we have been unfortunate with injuries with new signings. It will take time to get the squad sorted.

{Ed025's Note - i get that STB but as a renowned director of football you would have thought that he would have brought in a top class striker, a bloody millwall fan could have told him that, and what about our centre backs?...surely he knows they are the pitts so why are they stilll here and why have we not invested in better?, on his report card i would be saying "could do a hell of a lot better 4/10"..
