Laudrup not interested in Everton switch

Anyway, the compensation was always going to be an obstacle for us.

Being a Dane of course I would be glad to see Michael Laudrup at Goodison. (Again turning the eyes of the danish media towards EFC since they disappeared when Mad Dog left for Real), but Im not entirely sure he would be the perfect fit for us.

Laudrup is the kind of manager that stays for one-two seasons and in nearly every managerial role he´s had, it has ended with him resigning/getting sacked due to disputes/controversies with the directors/owners of the club due to lack of financial backing (cough cough), length of his own contract etc etc (Brondby, Getafe, Mallorca).

My guess is that Laudrup would be long gone come January and there yet again is no money. (of course he would be entitled to - but will it really help EFC)

From my perspective there is two issues at stake.
1. The current Everton team is calling for an overhaul in the next year (here I am assuming that Baines and Fellaini leaves) so I would want a manager that sticks around for a little longer
2. I really don't think anyone will buy us iin the foreseeable future so I think we need a manager that somehow accept the shoestring.

And I don't think that Laudrup fits into this...(I hope to god that neither does Hughes, Megson, O´Neill etc).

And sad to see Moyes leaving he did better than Walker and Smith and he actually didnt (as Royle) leave when the directors said no or "sorry but no" thereby leaving us with HK III which was a downright disgrace of a team.

Heres hoping for good times ahed (and thanks for the memories Moyes) - Now go and don't win anything at United

For years, we have been treated like mushrooms by our own board. At the end of our last game at the 'Bridge', look out for a double announcement of the Special One's return to Chelsea and TFW's return to Merseyside.

Bungalow Bill will stage-manage the show.

I would like Kenwright to look abroad.

Somebody mentioned Bielsa - that would be fucking incredible. He wouldn't tolerate BK for 10 seconds though.

Vítor Pereira at Porto would fit the bill on a few different levels.

1: He's out of contract in the summer so we wouldn't have to pay compensation that we can't afford.
2. He's done well at Porto and proved he knows what he's doing.
3. At 44 he's still hungry for the game and looking to try a new challenge in the premier league. Kenwright likes a promising "young manager" in the Moyes vein.
4. He'd bring a style of football that the fans would love and possibly a few technically gifted portugese players with him.

Think he'd be a much better option than Martinez, manager of Porto ( respected European club ) vs manager of Wigan. No contest.

I think it might be a bit rich to appoint Robert Martinez especially if Wigan are finally relegated this season. I would like to see Gus Poyet be given a chance. He has the correct philosophy and has played in the Premier League at the highest level. Maybe Brighton have a few more quid than Everton but probably not too much in it so he should not find the financial side too difficult to adjust to.

I'd love to convince myself BK would plump for a Laudrup but it's simply not the BK way. Martinez is the obvious choice: I can already imagine them as bezzy mates at press conferences, a relationship which continues to cover over the cracks of the club.

Part of me wishes it would be someone more renegade, perhaps a Laudrup, who might just blow the whistle on the fact the club is being slowly strangled from within.

The compensation issue may well rule out Laudrup. I agree that Thomas Tuchel is a good shout. Poyet, Zola and Di Matteo are all possibilities, but I think Martinez is the man who fits the bill. My only concern is the negative reaction of some fans towards him. Yes he has had a poor season in the league this year, but anyone would struggle to keep Wigan in the PL for as long as he has. He is loyal and his teams play good football. He is used to building a decent team on a very limited budget. I hope whoever is picked will get the full backing of all supporters. We need to be positive!

Read his resume on Wiki http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucien_Favre it is very impressive. I would like to put my money on him.DO NOT GET A BRITISH MANAGER.

1. Red hair
2. Communicates in a strange-sounding tongue which on close inspection turns out to be English
3. One shoe keeps falling off (“Bill gave me this shoestring and told me I could work on it”)

Any other suggestions please – the fans are being asked to help on this one.

Is there actually ANYBODY out there who trusts Kenshite to get this decision right...especially after the blubbering nonsense he spouted on SSN yesterday...." I don't want to let the fans down..."

Bit late now you fuckin waste of space you've been letting us down since you took over as Chairman....this will be yet another fuck up in a very long list of fuck up's...the best thing you can do for Everton FC is leave and take your Board of Cronies with you

Why is the £10m clause in there anyway. So he can move to a big club if they come in for him.

We should defo move in for him. We've got to think big.

There are top managers out there all of the above paid less than Moyes.

Laudrup is not worth 10m when you could get better for a lot less.

I trust the our board to take there time and get this right, and if they want Laudrup, they'd be willing to pay it, surely. It's the most important decision they ve had to make in 11 years.

Personally I'm very excited, look how good the last manager was. I see this as an opportunity to improve and kick-on. A new manager, like Laudrup, might give the team a lift, add a bit of flair to our organisation and graft. Moyes has left a stable club for a more attack minded coach to build on. Good times ahead!

Don't trust Kenwright at all and see his line yesterday about no quick appointment is see that as 'get someone in late and then saying they had money to spend but not enough time to spend it'.

He says he'll listen to the fans, well there's a track record that he doesn't and you can add the bloody new club badge to the pile. I'm happy for Moyes to go but can't he take Blue Bill as his boot boy ?!?

I still think the wise mans money should be on Martinez or Laudrup (because of how I think the board will go, not necessarily personal opinion), but over the last couple of days I have started like the idea of Perreira, especially if his contract is up.

Martinez....... why?
Solskjaer............ maybe worth a try
Benitez......... why the fuck does his name appear in the list
Hiddink......... of course yes, but he would not do it<
Pereira……… yes
Laudrup…….. yes but I don’t think he would take it, and 10m is highly questionable when we have an aging squad to tend to.
Anyway, my sour guess is we will have to go through 4 or 5 before we get to where Moyes had us.

As it is, Kenwright appears to have been the only man on the planet who didn't forersee Moyes leaving. Like many others on here I fear what we're going to end up with as a new manager with him in charge. Let's just hope that his 24/7 search for a new manager bears more fruit than his 24/7 search for new investment. But I doubt it. He doesn't appear to be networked into what's going on amongst the power brokers in English football and I suspect he has little knowledge of any foreign managers that might be available and fit the bill. Add to that his mysterious financial ties to Green and the resultant limitations on the carrots he can offer a prospective new manager then thigns don't look too promising.

It seriously worries me he is favourite, I have not read 1 good comment about him on the forum, can someone make a banner for Sundays game so Kenwright gets the message loud and clear - we do not want Lennon

And for that reason I think Moyes will recommend Mckay who will get the job. There is no way Moyes would pick a foreign manager.

Looks like it will be Malackey Mackey then folks...why ???....cos he's a carbon copy of Dour Davie (just like Moyes is similar to Ferguson apparently....sorry must have missed all those trophies he's won in the last 11yrs !!!!)...Mackey is a miserable git devoid of personality who started his career at Celtic where he played a few games...(remind you of anyone ??) He then spent the rest of his playing career in the lower divisions in England...(again anyone spring to mind ???) He started off at Watford who were in the shite and won them some games (a la Moyes at Preston) and got them up the table....got the job at Cardiff and won the Championship aka Division 2 ( which to be fair is something Moyes has NEVER done !!)

BTW has anyone noticed the similarity between their style of play...Cardiff are a physical side who hoof it up front as soon as poss to their front man...who runs around like a headless chicken....no passing football style played here I'm afraid...just like Dour Davie in the Everton years !!

So it's my guess that the next Everton manager will be Malakey Makey as recommended by David Moyes....

After all it is and I quote ".... My job to ensure Everton Football Club and their fans get the right Manager..." Bill Kenwright SSN Thurs May 9th 2013

Over to you Billy Boy !!

Last time around I hadnt heard of Moyes but I suppose you don't do "gems" like that twice.. Malky McKay or Gus Poyet would be good I think or maybe someone like Gary Neville (although I couldnt stand him as a player).

Rob #214 Nice to hear about fellow blues in a country invaded by RS and United fans.. Im based in Copenhagen though ;)

If it's reported that Laudrup isn't interested then Evertonians being Evertonians will turn against him coming and voi la BUngling Bill has saved himself a whole load of heartache and more importantly dosh !!!

Kenwright... if you told me today was Friday I'd check the calendar first....you've been letting us down since you took over you buffoon...why should we believe it will be any different this time around ????
