According to something I heard earlier Eddie Howe is being lined up for Everton which I think would be a great move for them.  Obviously means Moyes would be out.
He is a scouser and an Evertonian. These things never work out nicely.

No, they tend not to.

Well we are holed, drifting and taking on water. We need someone to stop us sinking to the bottom of the ocean fairly quickly as the way it seems at the moment that no salvage crew will be able to save us if we drift much longer.

From what's been said by various TV pundits this weekend Flores' job at Watford is under threat.  Experience of getting a team promoted from the Champo, and of keeping them up afterwards, not a raving nutter, not Scottish or dour, not an English PFM, and carries himself with dignity.  Ticks most of my boxes, and if Watford are mad enough to bin him (or even if they're not) I'd go for him.

The last former Watford manager we employed in Division 2 didn't perform too shabbily for us.

I wouldn't rule him out of the England job should Hodgson step down in the summer. Assuming the FA want to go English, the list is a shocking indictment of quality in a country awash with money invested in the game.

How about recently sacked Graham Westley??

Dubbed by Posh fans as the David Brent of London Road.

They'd be bonkers to fire him. He's done a fantastic job.

It wasn't Flores that got Watford promoted. He's only been there since the summer.

Damn hadn't realised that it was Jokanovic got them up.  One of my boxes unticked but still wouldn't mind him as boss.

Bernstein wanted us to get Hodgson after the Euros according to The Sun so possibly best that he's gone?

That's what all the pundits are saying, and I fully agree,  but the owners are known for being trigger happy and are apparently unhappy that the second half of the season went a bit flat after a very good first half of the season raised their expectations.   I think they need to get a grip.

I'd take Hodgson over most of the other candidates any day.

No, not really. Firstly, Hodgson is a million times better candidate than pretty much anyone on the list. Also, the fact that we had a director who was allegedly aiming to take the national team manager rather than scouring the list of managers who were desperate for a job is the nearest we've got to ambition in years.
