TFG-owned Roma looking for another manager

More trigger-happy than Moshiri? Oh dear…

Just looked at Ivan Juric's statistics, they are woeful. I hope they get their act together when they officially take charge of Everton.

Friedkin is way too inexperienced and unknowledgeable to do this himself...

They sacked De Rossi far too quickly. He was still very popular with the fans and all although they had a slow start, it wasn't terrible.

They still appear to be some way off becoming our next owners and I'm happy for Dyche to see this season through to the end on a shoestring budget.

I don't want and Everton can't afford to 'do a Roma'. No to the moaning one, no to a "play out from the back, no matter what" Potter style-over-substance manager.

We need someone better than Moyes to make the best of what we have while improving the style over the next few seasons with better or more-suited players. Not a rushed job whilst we are still very much a relegation candidate.

Van Nestléroy, no thanks, wake up and smell the coffee.

Or if it's a former player, I'd take Xavi. Terrific at developing young talent.

Or, want to do a Santa Job for us, Sean?

Well here's the sack!!!!

Wasn't Van Nistelroy the manager who gave Branthwaite his chance in Holland?

Forgetting his recent stint at Man Utd making him this week's managerial guru, as far as I know, he's got a reasonable reputation of bringing players through from a young age, has had experience as a striker coach, and as mentioned above, he was involved with Branthwaite at PSV.

Young and keen, obviously not as experienced as Sarri and Allegri, but probably eager. As also mentioned by others on different threads, there are decent young unknown or inexperienced coaches and managers out there.

However, if appointed, his first decision would probably be to help sell a certain defender to Man Utd and in the process blot his copybook from the start.

Was trying to think of a comeback. Failed.

Is that lunatic guy from Palace available, he might prove to be the best option for Everton, after all.

Any decision [to find a new manager] Everton’s future owners make will be made with help from Ed Shiple, a ‘Tarantino-esque figure’ who ‘solves problems’ for the group. He is an expert in human relations but with no sports knowledge.

His role at Roma is to work on the new stadium, relationships with the fans and the ‘team’ in the background of managers and workers. He is currently finalising a report on the current situation they find themselves in.

Friedkin turns to friend for advice

The situation risks erasing all the good work and good will the American group have built up during their time at in charge of the Italian club.

Right now, they find themselves without a coach, without a CEO and wondering where to go next, with ‘Mister X in the shadows’ and the fans not understanding or accepting what is going on.

I'm a big advocate of strong leadership and ignoring the torch and pitchfork brigade (remember Kendall?) but it's dangerous stuff.

Scousers are like elephants - they have long memories and like doughnuts.

It's gonna be terrific.

This is what makes it so strange on what is going on at Roma, and I know it should not make any difference but seemed to be a well run club when we played them pre-season.

Whatever the outcome, I hope that The Friedkin Group when they complete the takeover learn one thing from this and that is, Don't Piss Off The Supporters.

The club needs a complete overhaul, starting with the senior leadership at board level, before moving on to the rest of the structure. In many ways, the first-team coach should be one of the final pieces of the jigsaw.

We must hope Friedkin learns from his Roma experience. Unfortunately, successful business owners with huge financial assets are sometimes reluctant to learn lessons from their failure in areas unfamiliar to them.

I’ve never felt so disillusioned with football. It started with a conman, but it’s slowly spreading right through me, especially now I’m watching Everton, playing football I find it very hard to relate to.

The contradiction is that I’m enjoying watching the kids play, without the diving and the cheating. This is miles away from the circus, that now engulfs football in the EPL, and the honesty is very, very refreshing.

Like everyone else I love Everton Football Club though, and even though I’ve lost a lot of love, a part of me will always remain restless until the younger generations of fantastically loyal and absolutely fanatic Evertonians, get to finally witness our team winning trophies once again
