Manager for next season

[Lescottstweets]

Someone on facebook has just posted a photo of themselves with RDM at Birmin g ham Airport thinking that his appointment will be unveiled shortly. However as he lives inthe Midlands then there will be obvious other reasons as to why hes there.

From the criteria that seem to have been set (experience in the championship and in Europe) I'd guess the options are RDM, Moyes and Rodgers. Personally I think i'd go with Rodgers out of those choices.

Given the character of the guy that now owns us, one that seems opposite to Lerner,  that I think we will need a cool, calm, collected head as manager.

RDM doesn't strike me as that type of person, with his Latin temperament and all that.

I previously didn't fancy Moyes because of his dourness, but maybe from a ying to yang (no pun intended) perspective, he may be a nice solid option

Xia also mentioned that Pearson was under consideration, and that it was a shortlist of 6. Think Dyche is another, not sure of the 6th.

Wouldn't the whole 'chinkies' affair presumably count against Pearson? I know it was his son, but still...

I hope Xi is better at making appointments than Randy was.

I know a few evertonians through work and they all say he'd be a shit appoinment for us with his one dimensional tactics

[Des Little]

I'd like to think that, having sat down with all candidates and discussed in detail their plans and abilities to completely rebuild our playing squad, Tony and the board will make the correct decision for the club.  I hope they won't act purely on recommendation as Lerner seemingly did.

I can't ever remember hearing of or seeing Di Matteo lose his cool. Not all Italians do - Ancelotti, Ranieri - both very calm, measured individuals. To rule someone out on the grounds of a stereotype would seem to me to not be the best idea.

A post full of nonsense from start to finish.

It's also forgetting that he's Swiss not Italian, Italian parents and played for Italy but born and raised in Switzerland.

[peter w]

So? He's Italian.

[andyh]

My post certainly wasn't meant to be offensive about RDM.
I was trying to say that maybe we need a cool, calm head to counteract Dr. X's 'enthusiasm'.

No he's not, he's Swiss - http://www.uefa.com/uefachampionsleague/news/newsid=1794064.html
