This is what I expected from TFG, so I've been prepared for this type of appointment

I can assure you I have no illusions that you have any influence over anything whatsoever.

I think Southgate relegates us. I'd have Southgate in a category with martinez. Managers who'll destroy their next club. The only club daft enough to consider martinez since we sacked him was apparently us

I just don't know!

No one is arguing to keep Dyche, Brap.

I'm open to a lot of managers being banded about, but Mourinho isn't one of them. A worse fit for our club, you could not find (outside of former Liverpool managers).

Square peg and round hole situation.

Yeah, she’d get well jel

Would you take Klopp (not that he’d ever come, though, the big fake socialist)

Could a former Liverpool manager ever work with Everton?

There are plenty of reasonable other options out there

I'd take anyone if they were going to be successful.

9th and cup final. I don't care if it's benitez, lampard, Southgate or dyche. The debate is about who can get us 9th and a cup final (or even a comfortable 15th) rather than would you accept someone if they were successful. We'd accept anyone if they were successful

If we are making a change now I can't see us going to the expense and taking the time required to try and get someone who is already in work.
If the big re-set in the summer is Jose it would not give me much optimisum for TFG.

Think Lee carsley is a mad shout. We aren't in a position to take such a punt

I dunno, we have to have SOME standards.

Yeah, I wouldn't want Southgate either but I do find it a bit mad that people turn their nose up at him having taken England to major finals and semis but want the U21 manager who his little club experience, has been in coaching for years and not shown much ambition to get any further and put our PL survival in his hands.

Oh it's because Southgate is dreadful

What about Ashley Cole?

Lets wind back the clock and get ourselves a player manager. Worked lovely last time.

Oh no Rob Edwards has left Luton
