    See above. Look at the squad he's got. Been a huge success and plays good football too.

    He struggled at Burnley. What he's got there is continuity, if he leaves again he could well come unstuck.

    He is a Blue and maybe one day he might get his chance, but not now.

    Fair enough, that is certainly the lingering doubt with him.

    Agreed that it might not be the right time though, doesn't strike me as someone you appoint mid season.

    That's surely the calibre you're in the market for though? Can't see anyone better out of a job waiting around for Everton to call.

    I might be wrong but it's between Fat Sam and Coleman.

    Silva from Watford would be perfect. I see him at Arsenal when Wenger snuffs it though.

    Koeman was the 10th highest paid manager in the World, and 3 of those ahead of him are plying their trade in China......

    Of course it has wide appeal.

    It has appeal, but unlikely someone will leave their position to jump in at Everton a third of the way through the season. Dyche maybe?

    Not sure who else would leave a good job to join Everton though? Silva from Watford probably wouldn't given the choice and that's Watford ffs.

    Fat Sam won't go back to West Ham as others have pointed out, maybe he's incoming?

    tbf you could level that at hughton who was tragic with norwich and tends to be a pragmatic manager (doing good at brighton so far). Rate howe higher myself personally

    I'd like West Ham to go 'out-of-the-box' and go for Gerardo Martino, another Bielsa student.

    Dyche would walk there in bare feet imo, as he'll increase his current salary 10 fold for one....

    Fat Sam is a fire fighter, we'd be pressing the panic button if we appointed that fat ****.

    Fat Sam until the end of the season to ensure you avoid relegation? Then regroup in the summer.

    Unless you get a random from abroad and hope he hits the ground running.

    I'd be happy with Dyche if I was an Everton fan. He plays like that with Burnley, but perhaps given a better midfield/attack we could see a better side to his game, without losing that well drilled defence.

    personally just think Dyche is another Pulis and Allardyce clone.

    At least Allardyce has used decent flair players in the past

    Can't stand the man moaning either

    It may require a willing "Red Adair" for the rest of
    the season to save you from the drop, and then
    assess the way forward come season end.

    Looking at younger managers, Gallardo. The young manager of River Plate in Argentina is supposedly their most successful manager ever.

    Seems little doubt that he’s destined for Europe.

    Anyway who do you lot think signing of the season is so far in the PL?

    Bias aside, I can't look past Mo Salah.
