There were (unreasonable) expectations that they'd be pushing for top four and they find themselves in a relegation battle. Nothing unreasonable about his sacking though.

Bilic will be gone soon too.

Not convinced at all by Eddie Howe. Seems comfortable in a very small pond.

He'd be a big, Martinez-esque gamble. They have a very uninspiring squad. I think they need someone a little more pragmatic.

So the club sell the centre forward and replace him with about twelve slow no10 players, and it's completely Koeman's fault it's shite?

Again, he's an average manager. But the refusal to look beyond the coach when recruitment is so patently an issue is strange.

Yep. Will make them "hard to beat" etc. Living the dream

howe is a good coach ffs. he's got bournemouth to the premier league and kept them there. he's been successful over a period of about 10 years. fair enough it's the same club but it's not one promotion or a couple of seasons we're talking about. game's not about percentages or lumping it either.

he'd be a good shout but you've got to get off to a flyer and keep it going otherwise you won't get two full seasons...

Koeman seemed to just accept it during the summer. He should've taken responsibility and didn't.

How much did they spend on Sigurdsson again

You'll be lucky to get 2 full months now a days.
Howe will need time so i'm not sure they would go for him.
Not sure they have enough pull to get Ancelotti
Rodgers wouldn't surprise me, probably the highest level team he could go to in the premier league

Howe's done a cracking job (Dyce had a good base to work from because of him imo). They've defo slowed down the last years, a lot of his signings haven't worked out and they've majority of time he's gone back to his tried and tested players.

Maybe in the summer it could work but they're in a fight to stay in the league.

Ancelotti has been phoning it in at Bayern hasn't he?

Koeman doesn't give a shit. My point is that if I were a fan of theirs the lads sanctioning these moronic deals would worry me more. They're still there. Just like if I were a West Ham fan my concerns would extend beyond Billic and towards those nutters running the joint.

Spot on. I think some have called for that bloke from Leicester to be binned too, he's not done his job.

Like Spurs after the Bale money, was always going to end in a mess of a transfer window. If they've £75m to throw around.

Didn't someone post something from a Southampton fan when he was manager there, describing how everyone from the players to the canteen staff hated his guts and couldn't wait to see the back of him?
Might have dreamed it. Would have been a weirdly specific dream to have though.

Yep. Let poor AVB catch all the heat for that

It is a funny aspect of English football. The manager always gets 100% blame. In most civilised countries the players can expect their cars kicked in and the directors terrorised until they resign. Here the board don't even have to speak up or show their faces. Great gig.

Yeah remember reading it, that and he never played the kids. (of which he ended up relying on doing so at Everton)

What about Benitez?

Another who loved to play the underdog, not a penny to spend etc.

Could it?!

Bet he's kicking himself for ruling out managing Real Madrid a few months ago

Ronald Koeman insists he could never manage Real Madrid

“Someone as meaningful as I am with Barca, with its history, could not.”

Looks like Dyche is favourite.

They want British.

It's all setup for the 2nd return

Unless you know something I don't about Everton, surely we have to assume it's the manager's choice. At the very least, he has to ok them.

If Not, how are we to ever judge the manager?

I have no idea how their recruitment works, but to just assume it's all out of the managers hand seems even more odd tbf .

Not much he can do about Lukaku going, but to replace him with Wayne Rooney and a 5m quid striker from la liga was suicide.

Soon...

Not what they needed given the make up of their squad.

Wasn't he watching Liverpool get tonked by Spurs yesterday?
