Still surprised that Benitez didn't get his act together and sort them out. I know they had injuries but every team's had issues and that's the same every season. If he couldn't get a team together grinding out points to stay up, I doubt that anyone else will. With only a week left for transfer activity, they can't make wholesale changes - especially with no manager - and now they seem like they could freefall, only the chance of Brentford going the same way, or Burnley not signing anyone to help them win their 4 games in hand, might save them. Luckily, there are some really shite teams down there, and I don't think they're bottom 3 material, but, you never know.

I think you are right Everton can go this year absolutely no reason why they can't with the way they have been performing. Plus with the fans wanting the board out and getting on the players backs it's not an easy place to get out of. They need results and need them fast.

To be fair, the supporters didn’t get on the players' backs. They were brilliantly supportive throughout the game.

The protests started after the final whistle, including a banner, which said, "SACK THE BOARD!"

Humphreys on BT said that the club has announced a root and branch review of the whole organisation.

Didn't see much of the support getting on the players backs yesterday, At Norwich away last weekend the players got bombarded with abuse after the final whistle when the players went over to them. Probably slot of that anger was aimed at Rafa at the time.
They are in a very bad situation at the minute the club feels like poison and once your in that it's seriously tough to get out of.
 
I understand their frustration but already campaigning against a potential manager who has won league titles in three different countries to champion for a guy whose managerial honours extend to playing Mason Mount an awful lot is taking the piss in my opinion

The club certainly can't complain about the level of noise and support they got and I think the players did their best to respond. There seemed to be considerable goodwill for Duncan Ferguson and it seems surprising that the owners preferred someone so associated with Liverpool to Ferguson last time and are ignoring Ferguson again. He does get a reaction from the crowd and his teams can't be faulted for work rate and effort, two factors which may be of vital importance for Everton this season.

It's because of his connection to the agent who's ruining their club tbf.

I think he has stated in the past that he does not want the job full time and who can blame him. He has a generally excellent relationship with most fans and why would he want to tarnish that. I guess the crunch comes when a new manager is appointed and does not want him as part of his backroom staff. No one so far has been brave enough to tell him that !

He's still a more than qualified coach, above taking the reins at a team in a relegration fight if we're completely honest

Openly said he doesn’t want it. I also imagine their aim is more than work rate and effort, although that’s a minimum for any side
 
Seems kind of weird to me how against Vitor Pereira Everton fans seem to be, when the alternative is Frank Lampard. Pereira is a pretty respectable manager, admittedly nothing special, but I don't really see what the issue is other than him being a bit foreign, when some of the other foreign managers they've had haven't been great (but who has)?

If the alternative was someone great then maybe I'd get it, but Lampard is a managerial nobody, who did a bang average job at Derby then a bad job at Chelsea (under tough circumstances, but still, did absolutely nothing to encourage you)

Just seems weird to me. If my options were Lampard, Duncan Fergusson or Vitor Pereira, I really wouldn't be turning my nose up at the only one who's ever had any success at all
 
It’s going to be Lampard just because they can’t afford to get another manager the fans don’t want and any loss will have the Everton fans on his back.

Get Lampard and Everton have the fans boost also it will show how good Lampard is as a manager, Lampard needs this to work just as much as Everton does.
 
The club is an utter joke. It needs sorting

I would prefer Lampard as I think we need a younger manager who will be prepared to do a long term job. No more quick fixes or has been bosses. We need to build and get rid of the useless players and those advising the owners. First, we need to stay in the league and we may well not do so.

Yep he did well at Derby with young players bringing them on loan from premier clubs.

He will be there best choice.

Pereira or Lampard then?, @shackattack

Personally I'd sooner have Pereira but I think Lampard will get offered it.
I don't understand why they are even considering appointing a manager immediately. We don't learn from our mistakes, it would make more sense to see where we are at the end of the season and look at who is available

Where you are at the end of the season might actually be the big issue mate if you float along with Dunc saying smash it up to two forwards you might just be looking for a manager coach to get you out of the championship. It’s between Pereira and Lampard I think medium to large Frank would have more impact, he’s relatable to by players and knows the prem. Hope it works out either way for you.
