Manager for next season

[ozzjim]

They scored 45, same number as us that season.

A big no for Moyes.
Do we really want another Scotsman?
I can't remember a successful Scot manager at VP in my lifetime.

Exactly no we don't want another Scottish. Randy mentioned Bannockburn, that may well be by the by for some people, but me, I couldn't give a fuck, dont want no more Scottish rangers pricks at my Villa
Fuck off Scotland until you agree that this is United Kingdom.
Then I will accept you.

Either way, the last 7 season under Moyes they had a GD of +98. I'll have a bit of that for a few years, don't give a shit if we aren't scoring 2/3 a game, I'm sick of getting tonked and looking like they're playing with a hangover.

"hope we are looking to be better than 5/6 type. Team"

Good for them - we are in the Championship, with the poorest squad of all the relegated teams.

I can't see Everton attracting the sort of manager who'll push them to threaten the big boys. They've been one of those sides to threaten it with a 4th and a couple of 5ths but never quite maintain or progress from there. If they think someone like Mourinho is gonna waltz in and have them in the Champions League every year they're deluded. They could do a lot worse than getting Moyes again. But by the same token...never go back. But turning their nose up? That's getting a bit above themselves. I think a wider polling though would be a bit different. He's probably very well thought of there still I'd imagine. Martinez may have caught the eye in his first season, but he doesn't do stability. Moyes did.

Remember that final warning you got?

In our position I really doubt we'd be able to attract a manager who can get us promoted, in to the top 6 and then make the step on from that. He'd be some manager.

Two years ago I doubt anyone would've thought that a combination of Pearson and Ranieri would gain promotion, miraculously escape relegation AND win the league.

We're still a big club. I think Moyes, di Matteo, Rodgers (I know he's off), etc.. is about our caliber. More than ever money talks.

I just don't want to drown in the lower leagues for long. Get a high level manager in with this new found vision of Dr. X before it turns sour.. again.

But from 06/7 onwards, they scored 52, 55, 55, 60, 51, 50. More than us in all pretty much despite the MON spending.

The glass ceiling of the Premier League top six feels like a fantasy galaxy far, far away at the moment and one that sounds rather appealing.

It's NOT a glass ceiling! We could get there if we were good enough. A glass ceiling is one where we can't get there because of race, sex, religion or any other non-competency based criteria.

Grr.

We definitely have to do it right. It seems that Benetiz may well stay at Newcastle which will undoubtedly push them as clear favourites.

Frustrating as we had that one season when we were third highest scorers. We were deadly at set pieces that year.

If Moyes is appointed, I would feel as I did with MO'N. The biggest point was that it meant we were obviously getting  a new owner who had the funds to attract MO'N. So if we get Moyes, to me it means we have real backing.

That's how I'd feel, but I'd also hope the long term planning and contingencies are far better. This is where the right board appointments will be key and I hope Little is kept on for starters.

If we signed him as gaffer I think it would be some coup. I think belief and optimism would course through the squad. Something that has been missing for some time. I'd actually feel he is someone who could fashion a team that could make an assault on promotion, without spunking money around Willy nilly. I think he would then be in a strong place to build a team on the up. I don't want to build my hopes up until I see a stretched shirt
