My view on the vacant manager situation

-
So after Carlo Ancelotti’s swift departure to Real Madrid, the hierarchy at Everton are left with a huge dilemma. Who should be the man to follow him on? 

Personally, I would like one of Antonio Conte, Nuno Espirito Santo or Erik Ten Hag to replace the Italian. Obviously, the departure of Ancelotti shocked the club, and I believe that Farhad Moshiri would be looking at another “Hollywood manager” to bring it. At the time of writing, Antonio Conte is in advanced talks with Tottenham Hotspur, but Nuno opened talks with us today. Some members of the board would embrace the return of David Moyes, however I don’t think that is likely. 


In my opinion, Ten Hag would be the perfect replacement. The only possible issue that I could see with his appointment would be that he is coming from the Dutch league, and as saw with Frank De Boer, this is not always a success. I do think that Nuno will get the job. He would receive my backing, and I’d like to believe he could take us to the European conference league. After two seventh placed finishes with wolves, Nuno left after finishing 14th; the club confirmed that it was by “mutual consent”. 


Should we appoint Nuno, I can foresee many signings relating to Jorge Mendes. A player on his books is Goncalo Guedes, whom Everton have been linked with in a £14m move from Valencia. Nuno has also worked with Andre Gomes during his time in Valencia, and I believe he can get the best out of Ben Godfrey and Lucas Digne’s attacking threat should we play 3-5-2. 


Would you be happy with Nuno in charge?

 Ancelotti on Everton's defeat to Aston Villa Everton went into the game in need of a win to extend their European hopes, a poor run of home form was a hot topic before kick off, and this game proved to be no different than any home game this year, Carlo Ancelotti stated in his post match interview: “We didn’t play good, we didn’t start well, we made a lot of mistakes, no balance, no concentration, it was a not a good of evening” It was a script we have seen many times this season, losing to a team, that realistically we should be beating if we want to be serious challengers for Europe. Carlo: “I think we have to be a lot more focused and have a lot more desire” Despite an incredible win away to Arsenal only 7 days ago, it seemed a completely different team that played tonight, “This season, the home form is like this, it is difficult to say why, it’s the same team that beat Arsenal 7 days ago” “We could do better at home for sure, it is unbelievable the run we had away” “We were n

Richarlison: Rise of a Star Born in Nova Venécia, State of Esperito Santo, in Brazil, it was clear Richarlison had a passion for football at a young age.

His place of birth is known for bringing up talented ‘ballers, Richarlison said in an interview it was always his dream to play in the Premier League, he used to watch it on his Uncle’s TV. At the age of 14, Richarlison’s live could’ve been ended in an instant, he was mistaken for a drug lord and was confronted by a drug dealer, had a gun pointed to his nose, the drug dealer said: “If I see you again, I will shoot you with no problem” 2 years later, a very unexpected miracle happened, Renato Velasco spotted the young Brazilian winger and took him to America Miniero and later, to Fluminese, a team in Brazil’s top tier.

Everton: Sell, or keep?

Jordan Pickford- Keep. I’d keep Jordan Pickford, he’s shown that he is capable of being our number one countless times this season.  Robin Olsen- Sell. I wouldn’t keep Robin Olsen, I don’t think he is very reliable and is not good enough. A good back up, but not a good first team player.  Joao Virginia- Keep. No brainier here, I’d keep Joao Virginia at Everton. Perhaps a loan move is on the cards for him. He performed well in the games he played this season, but I think he needs a loan move.  Seamus Coleman- Keep. The club captain, he will stay for another season but as a backup option I think. A right back is a must in the summer for Everton.  Jonjoe Kenny- Sell. Kenny is not good enough. He never has been and never will be, one of the worst players I have saw play for us as a right back, Cuco Martina is a better right back than Kenny! Sell for as much as possible  Michael Keane- Keep. Keane is a solid backup, but I think our best partnership is Mina and Godfrey. I’d expect    Keane t
