    Whether or not it is the correct decision, if the owners were looking to replace Biliic and hope for the honeymoon period of a new boss which "normally" appears to get the team performing better, even if just for the rest of the season, then getting in Koeman looks like an attractive prospect.

    I don't doubt that the plan is to get rid of Bilic at the end of the season at the moment, now with Koeman available and the improvements he made to Southampton looking tempting. I wouldn't be surprised if the David's pulled the trigger sooner rather than later.

    Called it ;ok ;lol
    Any time you hear vote of confidence you can guarantee a sacking is on the way.

    The same as when a GF says "we need to talk" never going to end well....

    My gut instinct with Koeman is no.
    If he fails it will implode for us spectacularly. If he finds any degree of success he will be off in a heartbeat with not a moment’s thought

    ;hmm

    I rate him higher than Bilic. Everton completely blew their transfer policy by signing eight no. 10s and no striker to replace Lukaku.

    And Koeman had nothing to do with that suppose? ;hmm
    He probably did, but he won’t be in a position to spend £150 million at West Ham. On a smaller budget he is a superior manager to Bilic IMO.

    I actually rate Koeman, they've had a pig of a start in terms of their fixtures. The only smart FF decision I made was to leave Everton players alone for the first 10 games.

    They wanted Giroud but he choose the bench life. They didn't have a backup plan which was a big mistake, but he is not head of recruitment.

    I would take him...

    The board will wait it out for Benitez and then when he doesn't come it will be too late to do anything about being in a relegation fight. Then we will have to wait and see if lady luck shines on us to see if we are relegated.

    I would take Koeman, if only because I hate criticising Bilic ;weep

    So his record in England is 7th, 6th, 7th in three seasons with clubs 'similar' to us and people still don't want him?!

    Leicester could be going in for him, so we need to act quickly.

    He picked up a very good Pochettino trained Southampton and a Lukaku inspired Everton. This is the first time he has attempted to build a team and it didn't go too well. Not much there, imo, to say he is a must have.

    But Bilic is? Koeman has done well over three seasons. Bilic has done well for one season, heavily helped by Payet and Upton Park euphoria.

    Koeman also has a good track record with youth

    I'd take him in a heartbeat

    Koeman, sorry but a no for me, never liked him ever since he cost the legend known as Graham Taylor his job.

    Doesn’t tell it as it is either, went back on his word at saints and can’t be trusted, Lukaku going was never going to be easy, but he’s spent a lot of money and got it horribly wrong, sideways move for me and not who I’d want to replace SB

    I'm Bilic out but not keen to sign someone who has just been sacked for not doing well. Everyone mentions Grant who we signed after he relegated Portsmouth!

    I would take Sean Dyche I bet his buyout isn't that big. He has done wonders at Burnley

    Fair enough, but Koeman has a 3-1 ration of good seasons, and this one is only 9 games old, in which they’ve played all of last season’s top 5.

    I still would go for Eddie Howe despite where the Cherries are currently sitting in the league.

    Not sure why people are pointing to Everton's fixtures.

    It's their performances that have been the problem, not merely their results.

    They are as bad, if not worse, than us, for a far greater outlay.

    Ronald NONONOeman.

    Would be a terrible appointment, imo.

    You don’t have to give your opinion right now - it’s ok to go away and think about it if you are in any way unsure..

    Good point.

    I'm pretty undecided; maybe I'll sleep on it... ;wink

    No.

    Actually, scrap that.

    NO NO NO to Koe Koe Koe!

    Grey,

    What about where his teams have finished over the last three seasons prior to this?

    Everton aren’t the first team to struggle after losing their star player and spending big in scattergun fashion.

    Surely this season is Koeman’s outlier, rather than the three before. With Bilic, it seems a lot like his first season was the outlier.

    It's about time we had a manager that divides opinion on this forum...

    Everton are showing all the failings fans are moaning about us having, and Koeman has been sacked because there was no sign that he knew how to change that.

    He has been criticised for the team not having a 'personality' or settled playing style or formation, and for playing square pegs in round holes, and for being stubborn in refusing to change things. His marque signings have failed to deliver, and he failed to land his key transfer target.That should sound pretty familiar to those who want Bilic gone, and if Koeman gets a pass because it was 'the board's fault', then so should Slav.

    Luke, you are not comparing like with like, or taking into account context.
  • IronHerbIronHerb
    Well Lukerz you mentioned Silva and Wagner as good catches recently but not Koeman. ;hmm
