A lot for likely 1 game every 2 years

Martinez would have short leash being already chased out of Everton by their fans just five years ago and in their current state. Too much to lose. Plus would think he’d want a shot at WC.

Are we sure? Not being a player in the game is generally part of it

Rooney it is then.

 

[Toffee Lion]

One thing I’ll say about Martinez is he was the last Everton manager before we got money. His 5th place finish was largely due to loans.

Defence is suspect obviously and many believe he should have done better with Belgium but I also think country football can be hit & miss, even with talent.

I’d take him over Rafa every day but we aren’t “moving forward” if we appoint Martinez. It’s a sideways/downgrade and shows little ambition.

No clue who you actually get though, no chance Potter leaves and Lampard/Rooney are major risks.

 

[Jaymin]

Just give Duncan the keys.

Away from Manchester United, it wouldn’t be 1 game every 2 years. Surely a relegation battler would give him the game time that United will never give him.

Think it'll be Martinez or Rooney.

Reckon it will be Granny Shagger myself.

Done a decent job this season with an under siege Derby team

More than decent.

Likely to be Sir Granny Shagger in the future.

He also had back to back years of 11th, one where we had Europa, one where we did not.

I think I’d take 11th right now but obviously the man had flaws, no doubt.

I’d personally take him over Rooney/Dunc but that’s not saying much. Would love Potter but not happening.

 

[pantskyle]

Maybe too soon for Rooney but * it, who else they gonna get.

 

[ossie_21]

Too early for Rooney, he’s doing well under the circumstances but that doesn’t mean he’s made it or will make it.

Martinez would be a sideways step, I think he’ll have learned a lot as it was his lack of focus on defence that cost him.

No other clear standouts, but the decision can’t be rushed. I’d give it to big Dunc for the rest of the season and then see from there. Prove himself and he may get the job, otherwise we have time to get finances in order, clear the deadwood like Delph & Tosun soaking up our wages etc and see where we will be at financially and who we could attract.

At least the current squad will fight for Dunc, if only out of fear of him beating the piss out of them.

What's Lampard doing these days?

If Dunc flops you'll be relegated. You're not in a position to make a symbolic appointment.

What's Lampard doing these days?

He wants to wait until next season so he can get a preseason and transfer window done before his first game in charge.

Good idea..EFL are tough comps

Rafael Benitez: Everton sack manager after just six-and-a-half months in charge following Norwich defeat

Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard among names on shortlist to replace Rafael Benitez; Rooney happy at Derby but would find Everton hard to turn down; Benitez: Im convinced that we would have been better once the injured players were back and with the arrival of the new signings

www.skysports.com

Sky Sports News understands that Wayne Rooney and Frank Lampard are two of the names under consideration to replace Benitez. Also on the list are former manager Roberto Martinez, Brighton boss Graham Potter, Rudi Garcia, and Duncan Ferguson until the end of the season.

Potter is understood to be very happy at Brighton and is not currently interested in talking to Everton.

In 2017 Potter was in charge of Ostersund in Sweden.
Everton finished 7th in the PL, under Koeman.

How times have changed.

If a new manager flops, we could be relegated. It’s not a symbolic appointment like Rooney would be

 

[Lebbo73]

It’s amazing that Everton sacked Rafa when Keane decided to play striker for Norwich and who knows what Pickford was doing for the second. Pick the ******* ball up son.

Yeah so reckon appointing Duncan because he's an Evertonian wouldn't be the right move. At least Rooney has runs on the board keeping a side up.
