Who is Malkey McKay? (Everton fan coming in peace)

He's a fantasic manager for his experience and level a holistic approach to our football club organising it from the ground up for a positive long and short term future.

But at the pitch it has been brutally effective but not entertaining.

When he has brought in players of real quality, Noone, Campbell and when they play the quality does bleed through.

Firstly I hope I don't get shot down for joining this forum in the hope of finding out a bit about the man looking like the favourite candidate for the Everton job... I appreciate it isn't nice when your manager gets poached by another team just as you're starting to build something!

However like most people emersed in the Premier League bubble I don't really know much about what's happening in the other leagues, so other than I know Cardiff finished top of the league (congrats to you all) and had a great run in the cup last season only losing the final on penalties I don't know much else about Malkey McKay's managerial career and his style of play.

So what are we looking at should he leave for Everton? What kind of football does he play, what formation, does he like youth or more experienced players? Do you think he'd be a success at Everton?

As the title say's I'm here in peace looking for a bit of information about one of the possible candidates for the job at my club... I hope you're able to help

hi again roathy

I have no idea what a 'roathy' is?

Hmmmmmm.

Polo no dig here but the fullback thing what about Baines and Coleman? Or is that one thing not similar?

he doesn't really care how games are won

we're not reluctant to putting it up top to a target man.

Dont expect attractive football though

the dour football on show was the reason I stopped going

would say Malky is more akin to the "Dogs of War" than the "School of Science"

but that doesn't necessarily mean hes the right man at Everton were rightly or wrongly they think of themselves as football royalty and demand to see football played the right way

dear god and these are quotes from people who like him ,Everton fans take note

Don't worry it's fine, you're curious, as would any other fan when wondering about who their new long term succesor is.

Malky's a new breed of a manager, he doesn't really care how games are won, he just cares that their is fight from the players and completing the tasks he sets out. He'll get the players to appreciate the fans even more, he doesn't take any laid back tossers who think they're better than him, example being Anthony Gerrard, had to keep him first season as we had to rebuild but he was straight out that door when a club came calling. He's stuck with 4-4-2 and 4-5-1 for quite a long time but towards the end of this season he changed into a 4-3-3 formation, dropping talisman Peter Whittingham(surprising to PL fans who rate him highly) He likes a mix of experience and youth but his signings are predominantly youth, he thinks a lot about the future of the club, he doesn't think just for the next week, he thinks for the long term future for the club. I think with Everton, he'd go for the younger players as he wants to blend them in at the right time. As mentioned he doesn't play amazingly attractive football but we have seen glimpses of how well we can play.

Personally if he does go I hope the pressure doesn't get to him, with him having the club's future on his shoulders this season, he succeeded with flying colours, the question is what do you class as success? Continued top six finishes, getting to finals but missing? I don't think he's a top four manager by any means but I like how he thinks for the future. I'd be devastated to see him go as he really has this club in his heart after joining all those months ago and it'd be gutted to see all his work thrown down the drain if we go for someone like Mark Hughes

Great reply... thanks for this!

Tbh you could have just been decribing Moyes with everything written there... sounds almost like a replica and I can imagine for the same reasons Man U went for Moyes that we might go for your manager.

Success is hard to gauge really for us... Moyes has never won anything with us but has had us in the right half of the table all but one season and got us to a semi final and final in recent years. Many fans would take 12th place and a cup and many would accept no cups for continued high(ish) placed finishes.

I think from what you've said I could see Malky doing well but maybe not pushing us on to the 'next level', but long term could be a wise choice if he is indeed in the Moyes mould.

Thanks again for the info

going by these comments you just made Dave Jones is your man!!!!
