Yeah. He needs a preseason to drill in his ideas and philosophy. It’s quite similar to replacing Ole with Rangnick, but with bigger risks.Bielsa at the beginning of a season would be good but he's got an uphill task ahead of him. Maybe Everton are resigned to being relegated and he would be able to get them back in the Premier League
someone from everton needs to give QSI a call.500m is a bargin. They have a brand new 52k stadium being constructed and set to be ready in 18 months. They will sell out every week. Perfect for sportswashing.
Feels too little too late this. It's hard to believe what he says when he's been happy to stay silent for so long.

It will be a strange combo to be honest. They lack in a lot of things that makes a Bielsa team thrive.I rate Bielsa highly too. I’ll never forget watching his Bilbao team play Utd off the field back in the day. Respect is due- though that’s not to say he’s the right choice at Everton at this point.
United is a vanity purchase, like a super yacht. Everton will be like a trawler in comparison. Makes sense to buy a trawler for return on investment but no billionaire is gonna do it.It's really hard to justify buying United for 6b when you can buy Everton for 500m and throw some decent structure at them + a billion in transfer funds.
You'd have to be really impatient billionaire if you're buying United.
Yeahh but it's a trawler that can eventually become a super yacht so that changes things a bit. Maybe Everton will never have a billion fans world wide but judging by the number of City jerseys I see around, it is possible to build a global following.United is a vanity purchase, like a super yacht.

No chance of Frank leaving his brilliant project at Brentford to go save Everton from relegation and Hasenhuttl would be a big gamble.Hasenhuttl and Frank seem like good options if they can get them. Bielsa might need more time to train his players to the standard he'd like and he doesn't seem like an ideal choice with a relegation battle on their hands.
Yeah, I'm failing to buy this whole 'Everton are so shite what more could he do???' nonsense. Good managers improve the players they have. Simple. Nobody expect[ed] Lampard or the new manager to get you finishing top table, but you shouldn't be this fecking close to the dropThe bottom half in general is terrible this year. It’s an easy year to stay up if you get things right.
People are acting like Everton haven’t already been bought by a billionaire!Yeahh but it's a trawler that can eventually become a super yacht so that changes things a bit.

Yeah, that’s true.It will be a strange combo to be honest. They lack in a lot of things that makes a Bielsa team thrive.

They really are. You need somebody to keep you up, not sure Bielsa is that and does not have time to implement or the players to implement his style.Tweet

Two complete opposites.
Poor structure and succession planning.How did they go from Carlo Ancelotti to Frank to Sean Dyche (potentially)?
I think he'd take that. Finishing 5th out of 8 in a mini-league with Tarkowski, McNeil, a better midfield than he ever had at Burnley and some decent players in Calvert-Lewin (target man), Maupay (passable 2nd striker if he doesn't play Iwobi as a 10), Gray is a better version of Gudjonsson, and similar level fullbacks, Mina is great in the air and Coady is smart enough, will seem doable to him and worth the risk of tarnishing his reputation with a relegation. He's won promotion twice so you could give him 18 months even.I think the problem is that I can't see Dyche accepting a 6 month deal like that or any manager aside from Big Sam and we already fecked him off.
I reckon it’s a very good appointment for the relegation fight. He did a good job at Burnley on a tight budget so think he can keep Everton up.Not my first choice by any stretch but we will see who we can get for him this window. His transfer activity doesn't fill me with confidence but he did get Cornet and Weghorst in his last window + Defour was an astute signing at the time. Hope he does well and keeps us up. Come on Dyche baby.
Dyche is a logical choice to save them for this season.Going for the safe option it seems. They’ll certainly be harder to beat anyway.
