[Football] That team in 8th place in the Premier League
- Thread starter 8th battalion East Lancs
- Start date
I am absolutely gobsmacked that Everton have not made a move to make Aitor Karanka their new manager.
If he has any ambition it would be a great stepping stone for any big job. A decent 5 years at Everton would be a good move for his career.
I'm not sure he's capable of more than getting his team to hoof the ball to a striker though.

You obviously haven't seen much of Burnley this season - you must have missed the slick 26-pass move which ended with the winning goal at Everton a few weeks ago - only Man City this season have scored a goal with MORE passes.
That's one goal, and yes, I heard about it. One goal where you pass the ball doesn't make Dyche the new Guardiola. I don't expect you to be objective about it though.

Yeah he's much more than a hoofball merchant. I can easily envisage him staying at Burnley until the England job is vacated.
Notwithstanding the tussle we had the season before last he's definitely one of my favourite non-Albion people in football. He's a pragmatist, but has more tactical smarts than people give him credit for, he's feted by the 'too many foreigns' brigade (your Merses, your Tommos) yet largely avoids the "woe is me why don't English managers get a chance" talk, he speaks frankly and clearly in interviews and he has constructed a really really good Burnley team.
But the thing is, without saves from Maty Ryan and Cross Bar, we may well have ended up with one point instead of six from Everton and Swansea
If we'd won all of our games we'd be above Manchester City.
