Quote from: supertom on May 20, 2016, 07:19:15 PMIf the new board goes about this right and actually does a clean sweep of all the rotten eggs in our squad, so the new gaffer can start with a clean slate, then I wouldn't mind RDM. If that isn't the case and the new man has to come in and make use of most of the squad at hand (minus the more saleable assets) then we really need someone like Pearson who has the strength of character to put these twats in their place. My preference is Di Matteo though, I like him. He's a good guy and I think he could get us playing decent football. Pearson would probably do the same, but he's a maniac. Ultimately I would look at either as a bridge, before replacing in 2-3 years (hopefully in a good position in the top flight) with someone who could take us to the next level (Prem top 6).and maybe Moyes is a synthesis of these two in terms of fronting up to the squad-wankers and getting us playing reasonable football.

Yeah, cos Ferguson and Shankly were shite.

I don't know why so many people think Moyes played good football, Everton looked a good side for about 10 games a season when he was there the rest of the time they had a decent defence but struggled to create chances and relied on set pieces to get goals.

Not that I'm particularly arguing the case for Moyes. My choice would be Eddie Howe, de Boer or Dyche.

He knew a thing or two about a thing or two when it came to that class of thing.

That would be very nice. Goals from set pieces? Yes please.I'd also take the 10 games a season thing considering I don't think we've achieved that in 5 years.
