A relieved told that if Ryan Mason doesn’t work out the tea lady is next in line.

At least the tea lady knows what a cup looks like

An Everton fan trolling us - I guess this is rock bottom.The only club in history to flout FFP to spend half a billion in order to go from mid table obscurity to relegation, having to watch Dyche ball, not won anything since pre spice girls and on the verge of financial collapse. That guy is trolling us now.

Hello darkness my old friend……
----------------------------------------------------------------------
All well and good but the thing is I don't support Everton.There is more than one person in this world with Coleman as a surname
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Oh good, I take it back - so we’ve not sunk that far yet, genuinely pleased

Also faced Everton soon after Dyche took over, but I don't know technically how long you can count it as a new manager scenario for bounce measuring purposes.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Biggest spankings though have come against the longest serving managers,Liverpool,Brentford and City,would they be old manager bounce?
----------------------------------------------------------------------

I came across some sports science research (based on aggregating a huge amount of data from Australian rugby, if I recall) which concluded that consistency of personnel over a long enough period is the single biggest factor in team success. So there could be something in the old manager bounce.

I guess there's also a correlation / causation question here: I guess you change personnel less if you're doing well.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
I'd say a new manager bounce would only work when players are trying to impress a new permanent manager.They got no bounce when Conte left so why expect it when interim manager number 2 is in charge?
----------------------------------------------------------------------
For one thing they'll be freed of the shackles applied by the previous two (three if you count Nuno, four if you count Jose) managers. There can't surely be any doubt that they will play significantly better on Thursday than they have done in recent times
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Overnight transition? Look at their midfield options and there isn't a single one that is anything other than a functional destroyer in that area.They are poor in midfield and at the back and are there for the taking
----------------------------------------------------------------------

We’ve conceded 20 goals in 9 games against Leicester, Bournemouth, Southampton, Leeds and Forest.

We can’t defend to save our lives.

Always worth a goal though

The 4 are:

1. Emery (Villa)
2. Jesse Marsch (Leeds)
3. Lopetugui (Seville)
4. Stellini (Spurs)

Lamps was sacked mid-Jan, after we'd already played them in the cup

Skubala was the Leeds manager I was thinking of who got the draw at OT, then we beat them at Elland road next game
