Excellent news. It's hilarious how Everton spunk millions on crap players and just move onto the next crap merry go round manager. I was getting a bit bored with Lampard.

It won't be fat Sam, Hodgson or Bruce - all too obviously past their sell by dates. I'm just wondering whether they'll plump for Dyche? After all, he's available and would appear to be an appropriately lazy appointment. I hope they don't as I quite like Dyche these days. The whole shortlist dreamt up on GrandOldTeam has the potential for complete and utter chuckles, to be fair. I think a relegation under Bielsa would be funniest.

My opinion. The best currently free manager out there is Hassenhutl.

Bielsa would be a disaster, so I hope it happens.

Dyche to me seems the most likely option.

Interestingly there is a table on the BBC page showing the Worst Everton Manager using points per game as the criteria. Despite their travails over the last five or so years this table is still topped by Mike Walker, who was in charge for a mere 31 games and scored at the rate of 0.87 points a game.

For those youngsters who aren't aware Walker was like the Graham Potter of the 1990s. He was at unfashionable, provincial Norwich and got them playing a lovely crisp, easy-on-the-eye, very successful, passing type of football, and they were always described as "everybody's favourite other team". Walker took Norwich further than Potter took Brighton inasmuch as not only did they qualify for Europe, they won away at Bayern Munich. And it wasn't a 'backs-to-the-wall-grab-a-lucky-winner' type win, they completely outplayed them and won 2-0. Obviously all the talk was which big club would he leave Norwich for, and eventually he went to Everton ..... where he sank without trace as the table says. I haven't a clue what happened to him after that but he never recaptured that Norwich period.

Anyway, just thought I'd mention it, and yes I suppose I should have put it on a 'Potter' thread - but I couldn't find one. (That's a joke btw).

He went back to Norwich for two seasons, was sacked when they missed promo and went to Cyprus where he managed APOEL for a while and still lives there, according to Wiki.

As an aside, I read that the new stadium is now overbudget and they will need to secure more funding. What odds for this not being finished?

Scarcely has a club so deserved the relegation which is inevitably coming their way for reasons beyond just "are terrible at football".

I think Lampards biggest failing as a manager is choosing the clubs to accept job offers from. I think if he got that bit right he could be a successful manager.

Based on what exactly? He hasn’t shown he’s got any talent as a manager at all. His teams all have all shown a lack of clear direction and any noticable style of play. He’s incredibly naive and has always managed to get less than the sum of his team’s parts.
