Apparently Nuno wanted to bring his whole team and Everton weren’t having it. Only Palace seem prepared to offer him that opportunity.
Benitez is a possibility for them as he lives on the Wirral. Problem is that he’s ex Liverpool but other than that, a good fit.
Lost it by saying Pickford was an upgrade on Rob Sanchez.

Apart from this..
There were also problems at the back, particularly within the keeper department,with Matt Ryan starting the campaign in torrid form and ultimately being dropped and then sold in January.
Robert Sanchez came in his place and did a decent job for the remainder of the season, but his impact wasn’t big enough to claw back some of the deficit accumulated in the early part of the campaign.
Problems at the back? Personally I thought we were pretty solid defensively for most of last season. Our goals conceded is in line with the top third of the table.
Particularly within the goalkeeper department? What Rob Sanchez who has just had a blinding debut season, and been called up to the Spain squad?
We were pretty shit early doors, it wasn't until Ryan got dropped and Dunk found his form we upped our game

What from 16-1 to 11-8?
Personally I don’t rate Pickford.
But in the closing months of the season as Everton were bloody awful, he was often their MOTM preventing far bigger losses, mistakes far rarer.

I don't know exactly but it wouldn't take much money to move the odds that much.

Unfortunately Junior is stuck in the dark ages.

If Ashworth is doing his job the way he ought to be, he will have a list of potential replacements ready just in case, all of whom will conform to the current Albion model.
And I happen to believe that the next Albion head coach is already at the club.

Was 11/10 when I first spotted this thread. Now 2/1. Suspect that will move to 4/1 tomorrow and so on and so forth. Everton fans piling in.
He’s a better fit here than at a club that wants to spend £40m on players being offloaded by the top six. The overhaul there is with the chairman too whereas here he is driving the project because he’s 5-10 years ahead of everyone else.

Christophe Galtier the former Lille manager who won the French league with them this season now strongly linked with the Everton job.
Would be a very interesting appointment, did a cracking job at Lille.

I can not name one manager that I would prefer to have than GP in the world, that we could attract/afford.
Can anyone?
Would this be the biggest blow we have had to endure in our history?

Well, losing the Goldstone Ground was a bit irritating.
Have every faith he is.
We had a plan previously as well, it was just Hyypia that sent it awry.

Only on a managerial front (and plenty would disagree), but come on we have had far worse blows though, don’t be a drama queen
It would piss me off big time to lose GP and I’d wager that any “progress” demanded by some fans would take a hit
I agree with the first part but not the second. Who would that be? If GP leaves, he'll take most of his coaching staff with him and who does that leave? Ashworth? I can't see him wanting it. Bruno? Maybe but he's inexperienced. Crofts? Even more inexperienced. Morling and Beard? Experience with kids doesn't necessarily translate to experience with adults. Winstanley? No chance.
That only leaves Powell and I really can't see her taking a step into the men's game.
No, if Potter leaves (and I don't think he will, not this summer anyway), we'll recruit from outside. I've no idea who but I'm sure that Barber and Bloom have ideas
