If he really wanted to......

Interesting. My downer on AvB (are we using 'AvB' or 'AVB' or even 'AVb' by the way? - I think we need to get some common grammar going on....). My downer on him is the apparently dull football he plays. I want entertainment.

The hold up is a bit strange. What 'practical issues' could there be? Aside from needing his signature of course. Would be ****ing funny if it fell through. Imagine the meltdown on here if a manager was coming to us, and this hold up was going on!

Is he actually any good as a manager? Not sure PSG is a particularly tough gig?

Would be disappointed if he left for Stoke or Everton. Thought he wanted to go back to Italy, and a move to Lazio was on the cards?

I remember a similar article just before they both left in January.

Would be great to hear from the ITKs to confirm this.

Some good points. The thing against him is though....well, he's David Moyes. It just wouldn't be exciting! What's his track record like with bringing yoof through?

Just been pondering the topics of ambition, investment and success: in the context of the EPL. Which of the non-traditional 'top' teams have 'spent' their way to success in recent years? Man City most recently perhaps...and.....ummmmm, I'm struggling. Chelsea going back some few years of course. And in the same timeframe, which clubs have overspent and imploded? It's a far longer list I'm sure. A half-sensible Evertonian would be quietly excited; and with a healthy slice of cynicism thrown in. It's going to be interesting how things play out for them.

Interesting. Is this a genuine ITK snippet?

Curious to know if Ron is employing a translator for his role there? Eh, eh?

Except the same agent was apparently advising Koeman to stay....

Great minds! Just posted similar on the other thread. A really nice thought, but somehow I suspect not.

Wonder if we a stringing out the Koeman negotiations to enable a back-to-back announcement? His leaving and our new appointment. Probably not, but hey...

Dey do dough, don't dey dough?

We need another ITK update......

Yep. Reckon the hold up is that he's actually been there now (I'd guess he has, anyhow?); and now the cold reality of the situation has sunk in........what, I'll have to go there......EVERY DAY??!!

Would be funny if Everton said no to Erwin. Surely Ronald should be allowed to bring in his own backroom staff? Would he really go there if he wasn't?

This does seem to be dragging out. What is there to discuss, and how long can it really take?

Fixed it for you.

That's a really interesting line; I hope we get to learn more context around it. There's certainly enough there to warrant some groundless speculation!! So....... The talk of a new 5 year plan; we're seeing some players nailed down to longer contracts. I wonder if we're specifically looking for a manager to bring in and stay with us longer term...to grow with the club as it were, rather than us being a stepping stone? Would fit with the Howe link; possibly the Moyes link (he was long term at Everton). Might explain the apparent non-interest in Pelligrini. A less experienced/less high profile manager to develop with the club...perhaps one that will be underwhelming for us fans initially?! Are we back to a vision of CL footie with a chunk of home-grown players in the side (alongside established stars on higher wages)?

Pellegrini would be a very classy signing. Yes, different to our norm, but I'd back us to improve further under him.

Cortese wouldn't have done, pretty certain abount that!

So perhaps (if he goes) the club have played a blinder......? Compensation, no blame, and bring in a preferred manager?

This would be very, very funny if true. I doubt we would ever find out for certain though.
