As long as Everton offer him a donner kebab and cheesy chips he will do it for free.

Facepalm.
Why look at a manager who nearly got Leeds relegated last year.

I considered that when I wrote it but he's on £100k/week, Besiktas cover a third of that so he'll have cost well over £6m by the summer. He can't hit 20 appearances because then Everton have to pay Spurs £10m so it's kind of doomed from the start, either he bleeds wages sitting on the bench/loan, or or he plays and costs them a fortune in fees (admittedly that would be worth it if he was oldschool Alli from 5+ years ago, but as we've said, he seems a basket case at this point). I guess it's unclear how much involvement Lampard had in the deal though to be fair.
Why look at a manager who can't speak English when right now they don't have the time to get to know each other. It's the sort of stupid thing Everton would do. Everton are going down, perhaps they are just looking at someone cheap to try and get them back out of it. It would be an awful appointment all round for both parties. He wants players to press the ball not sit on it. But Bielsa is a championship level manager, if he came in with the knowledge and expectation of Championship football it might help turn around the work ethic for next season. Then again, look at Leeds.

Bielsa isn't on cheap wages, so that isn't a reason. I think you also forgot he finished top half with Leeds in his first season before the board didn't invest and we were crippled with injuries. There is also a trend to when he takes new roles, always at the end of a season so he can work with the players all summer and they buy into his way of playing and his system, but ultimately making sure they are mega fit, so yeah it would have been as stupid appointment and one Bielsa would never have taken.

They could do worse tbh though it still won't solve the firepower issues at the front unless he's able to bring someone in. If offered a choice between Dyche and Rooney it has to be Dyche surely?
He should be first choice, not sure why they others have even been mentioned.
Don
nor did Dyche. Didn't they kick him out after a tough run of games and before the easy run where lots of people felt he could have turned it around?Because the other didn't get relegated from the PL last season

I think the damage was done when he was sacked; it was Mee who did well when as caretaker and got a fair few wins.
but wasn't the consensus that Dyche would have got those same wins given the opposition? Then when it got sticky towards the end of the season the wheels came off
Don
Who knows. I think it sums Everton up that the two managers in the running couldn’t be any different with their play style if they tried. Hassenhutl and Bielsa you could argue have very similar styles, as do Dyche and Big Sam. But to have Bielsa ‘vs’ Dyche seems like Everton don’t know what they want!
Soldato
I think it probably just got a bit stale for Dyche at Burnley in the end, he'd taken that club as far as it could go really. Same as Howe with Bournemouth, he got them relegated in the end but doesn't make him a bad manager as his tenure at the Toon as so far proved.
From Dyche's point of view not sure whether I'd take Everton or not, that's a tough looking rescue mission with the fans in a fairly toxic mood with the board, his style of football isn't going to get them on side either! If he waits a little bit longer West Ham or Leicester might come up for him.

Bielsa is in London....surely he didn't come all the way here to say No in person....

If it's Dyche, I'll back them to stay up. His teams are awful to watch and proper nasty ***** but that's what you need in a relegation battle.
